I'm visiting the Foodie & Cocktail BFF and we're looking for a post dinner place in Fr. Lauderdale…read morewhere we can catch up over some cocktails on a weekday night. Sidecar Speakeasy was the play... The speakeasy entrance was hidden in a hallway you can walk right by without even noticing. I dig it. Once inside, it's dark. Most of the light is coming from the light showcasing the bottles in the bar. The seating is a little tight as they're trying to maximize space for such a small area. We visited here twice during my visit: We sat at a table and a bar. You have the perfect amount of space for your party, but you're pretty close to the next table or bar seat. No claustrophobic vibes though. All the mixologists were great during both visits. One visit, we ordered their signature cocktails from the menu. When we sat at the bar, we had the mixologist surprise with a cocktail off the menu. He just asked what kind of liquor vibe we wanted, and he took it from there. He was super creative with every cocktail which made for a great time. They stayed upon until midnight one one visit and until 1 am on the other one. Both my visits were on a weekday. The sidecar speakeasy is easily my favorite bar in Fort Lauderdale and I have a feeling I'll be back. Enjoy!

When I sat at the bar I asked what I thought was a friendly question but bartender retorted "Why?" ending any conversation before one started. Moving on I thought I'd just try to enjoy my food. The duck, as it turned out, was a featured appetizer and came plated on a sweet sabayon dessert type sauce in a whipped orange flavor which made for an interesting contrast. My Main on this Friday was a salad known as Sonoma. Because I arrived towards the early evening/late afternoon the entertainer (musician) was just setting up, setup quickly, and soon I was enjoying some great live music. The salad came out but I did not have any silverware as mine was cleared away with the empty duck appetizer plate. Not to worry I took another silverware set along the bar seating and started on my salad. But I did not detect any apples. When the bartender reappeared I began asking "doesn't Sonoma salad come with apples?" I think he realized by my question I did not have any (apples) so he ended up telling me "sometimes it has a small amount of them 'as a garnish'." At that point I referred to the Menu which clearly set forth apples among the list of ingredients for this item. I told the bartender the Menu indicates it is supposed to come with apples. A friendly young waiter who was nearby and heard the exchange offered to bring some from the kitchen. Before paying I mentioned that I took silverware to eat with. That was met with silence. No apology. I wish I could get the service I had hoped for. Still okay.

They also have a couple options for bites - charcuteries, dips, flatbread. Not a huge food menu but just enough to share and balance the drinks. I visited on their trivia night for a date night, only a few participating tables and it was fun! The questions were difficult but we made it through and won a small prize for second place. Service was beyond friendly, and we chatted with one of the owners who was super welcoming. I'd be interested in trying out their happy hour as if you having a couple drinks and bites the bill can start escalating quickly. Overall a fun, dim lit sophisticated time!

It's owner operated, which shows in the curated wine selection and the care put into the menu. The small bites are well done and the limited heartier options are satisfying enough to make it a full evening out rather than just a stop for a quick drink. The wine list offers a strong range across regions and styles, though I'd love to see an extra Italian red or two added. The servers are friendly and clearly know their wine, offering helpful suggestions without being pushy. A relaxed and polished spot for unwinding with a great glass of wine.

I had such a great experience here tonight. The food was absolutely delicious from start to finish…read more We started with the calamari, which was cooked perfectly--light, crispy, and not greasy at all. The garlic rolls were insane... honestly some of the best I've ever had. We shared a house salad, and it was huge--definitely big enough to split. Everything tasted super fresh, and the balsamic dressing was perfectly drizzled and flavorful without being overpowering. For my entrée, I ordered the chicken parmesan with angel hair pasta. I'm pretty picky about marinara sauce (and I'm Italian, so I hold places to a higher standard), but everything was completely on point. The flavors, the sauce, the portion--just really well done. What made the experience even better was the owner coming over to talk to us. She shared details about the food and the restaurant, which made it feel really personal and welcoming. They also host special wine tastings at the end of the month with a curated menu, which I definitely want to come back for. We didn't try the pizza this time, but I already know I'll be back. They offer thin crust and even a deep dish that you can order ahead (about an hour in advance), which sounds amazing. It's a smaller place, but it's cozy, the staff is incredibly friendly, and the service was excellent. I'll definitely be back--and next time I'm saving room for dessert (if I can stop myself from eating all the garlic rolls again).

It was Valentine's Day and pretty crowded but we really enjoyed our time and our meal. We started with the LobsterBisque which was creamy, full of flavor and the corn really gave it the bit of texture needed. It's a bisque but I would have added a few chunks of lobster more. It was a bit light in that area but still delicious. For drinks, we had espresso and lychee martinis which were divine. I live for the scallops at Seasons 52 and it's my regular dish when I go. This dish did not disappoint. Perfectly seared and seasoned with a squeeze of lemon. You can't miss. The hubs had the surf and turf which was equally as good. The steak cut like butter and the lobster was delicious. We got the Mac n cheese for the table and, again, creamy yuminess. I would definitely recommend for a date night or special occasion. I love the seasonal items. Make sure to call ahead for reservations or book on OpenTable to avoid lines.

The ambiance of the place is lovely, decorated with string lighting that looks so gorgeous at night. The patio area is much bigger than I anticipated and even has some larger tables for any larger parties. We started off with an appetizer of the peach burrata, which was tasty! I would give it 4/5. We then got wine flights which I thought were such a great value for the price. You get 3 small sized wine glasses for $15 and get to sample three wines! Definitely recommend this 5/5. As entrees, we shared two entrees - the pesto pasta and the gnocchi which at the time was made with a pork type of sauce. Both were very delicious and we really enjoyed the flavors of both. The consistency of the gnocchi's sauce was a bit interesting, as it was all sort of blended together, but the flavor was very good! Would give them each 4/5. We ended the night with tiramisu - delicious and the presentation was very cute. I haven't had very much tiramisu to compare against, but I'll give it 5/5 as I really enjoyed it! As for service, our waitress was very attentive and nice but note that they can get busy on weekend evenings, so expect a little bit of a wait. Overall, I had a great time and enjoyed the food. My favorite part of the night were the ambiance and the wine flights. I hope to come back again soon!
