    This place is the greatest hole in the wall spot!! The food is INCREDIBLE and everyone here is so sweet and attentive. The Caribbean sun salad was the best salad I've ever had and the mango smoothie was so fresh. It was just what I needed. A perfect little lunch/breakfast spot!

    Pizza is limp and overly doughy. We ordered a margherita and a Hawaiian. Neither were very good.

Our reservation was for 9:30 and we seated with drinks and appetizer ordered by 9:35pm. For an appetizer we ordered the original Bronx pizza, I heard the pizza was amazing so figured order for an appetizer so I could also enjoy a meal. The pizza was delicious. I forgot to get a picture of it. We then ordered the gnocchi Marsala, pasta with Bolognese, my son who has been to Heritage before got his favorite the spicy penne alla vodka. We made sure to save room for dessert we got Cake me home tonight (carrot cake) it was served warm with vanilla ice cream. This carrot cake was on a different level than any other carrot cake I have tried. We also got the tiramisu brownie- a combination that will make your taste buds dance. It is a small restaurant but we did not feel crowded at all as others have mentioned in reviews. The waiters and bartenders were all amazing and seem to keep this place running like clockwork. Try it you will not be disappointed. Almost forgot get an espresso martini may be the best in Ft Lauderdale. Plenty of parking available as well.

The dim, cozy atmosphere stood out and our server, Shamar truly made our experience super special. He was so kind, attentive and patient. The owner also stopped by and introduced himself, which was a nice touch to our night. We ordered the Italian chopped salad, Mediterranean squash blossom pizza, and gnocchi marsala. Italian food isn't usually my go to, but everything was delicious! Of course we saved the best for last and ended the night with the Cake Me Home Tonight, which is their carrot cake, and it really hit the spot! I highly recommend this spot! Just a side note, parking is limited and it's a small restaurant, so definitely make a reservation.

    I don't like writing negative reviews, especially because I had previously enjoyed this restaurant…read moreand even recommended it to friends. I'm often the person my group relies on to choose restaurants, so I was genuinely excited to have our group meet here based on my past experiences and what I thought would be a great atmosphere for watching a game. Unfortunately, after this experience, I won't be returning, as the interaction with management completely overshadowed everything else. I organized a reservation for a party of 10 after learning that an industry colleague was planning corporate group outings at the restaurant. The restaurant also heavily promotes itself as a destination for watching sporting events and accommodating large groups, which made it feel like a perfect fit. I made the reservation several days in advance and received both email and text confirmations, including a separate text from a manager confirming our party of 10. One member of our group arrived early with a few friends and began ordering food and drinks while waiting for the rest of the party. They also asked if our tables could be seated near each other once everyone arrived. It was at that point that the situation began to deteriorate. The manager insisted there was no reservation for 10 people and claimed the system only showed five, despite the confirmations we had on hand. Another member of our group who also had a reservation for 10 attempted to clarify this but was told by the general manager that he "didn't care what the confirmations showed" and that he had the final say. When several members of our group called the restaurant to try to resolve the issue--since we were actively arranging Ubers and wanted to clarify before heading over--the conversation became increasingly confrontational. Instead of attempting to understand the discrepancy or offer any solution, the same dismissive tone continued. I also called myself in an effort to de-escalate, but was met with an unprofessional and condescending response, with the manager stating he was not going to tolerate our party's behavior and abruptly saying, "I just cancelled your reservation." Having worked in and around the restaurant industry and growing up with a father who was a chef and restaurant owner, I understand that mistakes happen and systems aren't perfect. I've also worked in multiple roles within the industry, so I'm familiar with how these situations are typically handled, and I've never encountered that level of hostility directed at guests over a reservation issue. What I don't understand is meeting paying customers with hostility instead of professionalism. A simple willingness to investigate or problem-solve could have completely changed the outcome. Since we were unable to have a productive conversation with the manager, the friends who were already seated left. The rest of us Ubered to meet them elsewhere, and our group ultimately spent the rest of the evening, and our business, somewhere else instead. It's especially disappointing because the food has always been good, which makes the experience even more frustrating. Customer service starts at the top, and unfortunately, the interaction with management overshadowed everything else. I sincerely hope ownership takes this feedback seriously, as the restaurant clearly has potential. Based on this experience, and reflecting concerns others have raised as well, I can't recommend it for large group reservations.

It's super annoying that I…read morechecked the box on my online order that said to include plates, utensils and napkins--and they failed to see that. We're in a hotel room with just running water and a microwave. Thank you for making it that much more sloppy to eat. Worse yet, their driver apparently couldn't be bothered to meet me in person. He was in such a hurry around 1100pm to have simply left my pizza balanced on the gate to a publicly accessible hotel--for anyone to take. And I paid a gratuity for that level of service. I'll be sure to remember and share my experience with others at Patio Bar & Pizza in the same spirit.

With kid's portion penne Alfredo (I wanted to try their pasta), avocado salad, and calamari appetizer. Both pizzas were very good, I strongly recommend it to everyone. Their pasta is also good, even for the kid's menu the portion was generous and the price fair. The only thing I don't really recommend is the avocado salad. Yes we were a party of three so we finished most of the salad but the flavor just wasn't there and the texture was off for me too. The avocado is mushy and discolored, and I personally prefer the sliced or diced avocados for avocado salad. The parking is limited so get there early or on a slower day. I think I would recommend this place to others and be back again in the future.

We walk over, sit down and ask what the lunch specials are and the waitress says they don't have any. When we told her we had called she said well the only special is the personal 8" pizza with up to 3 toppings. Then she says there is a lunch size house or cesar salad. There are no lunch prices listed anywhere. When we ask her for the prices, she has to look it up on her handheld ordering machine. She says the salads are $7.95 and the pizzas are $8.95 with up to 3 toppings. We each order a lunch salad and a personal pizza with up to 3 toppings. Salad was a good size. Pizza was OK. Very thin and very light on toppings. When we get the bill, it is higher than we thought. But my husband pays. I look at the itemized receipt and see that we were charged $1.50 per topping. I ask her about the bill and remind her she said the pizza was $8.95 with up to 3 toppings. She says, yes but the toppings are $1.50 each. I tell her she never said that and how am I supposed to know. And if I am paying for the toppings, why would you limit me to 3? It doesn't make sense. She said she was sorry but didn't offer anything to make it right. I shook my head, laughed and walked out. Total bait and switch. Never going there again.

I don't think you could go wrong with any of the pizzas on the menu honestly. The dough is so soft and flavorful and they have the best topping selection. I really thought the bacon and jam pizza was such an amazing flavor! It was sweet yet savory and I would say that was one of the best pizzas I've ever had! I also didn't realize they have a speakeasy inside. From the road you would never believe it exists besides the pizza shop. It's called the apothecary and they have a huge assortment of crafted cocktails! I tried the New Pal which was a citrusy take on an old fashioned and I thought it was really well done! It was also strongggg. I can't wait to come back and show other people this spot. Definitely a hidden gem in downtown Fort Lauderdale along Himmarshee.

Although this place looked great, but between crying kids, and a couple poorly done menu items, they lost a lot of points on execution... Our server Tomas was great! Best part of the whole experience. When we got to see him, which wasn't often, because they were short staffed or something as he was also tending bar (where he excelled), and running to take care of everyone, all while being berated loudly by an older gentleman we had to assume was the boss. The food was where they could have made up for that, but sadly, it was all over the place. - Calamari were crispy yet tender, and perfectly seasoned breading, but the accompanying sauce was too spicy for almost everyone in our party. - Meatballs were decent sized, and though they presented beautifully they were dry and overly dense, with their sauce on the opposite end of the spectrum with almost no flavor, and sadly that matched the flavorless meat as well. - Pizzas were the star, creative and delicious though, with just the right amount of toppings but just too much char on the crust. Tomas really shone as a bartender/ mixologist though, coming up with imaginative cocktails on the fly based on our favored liquors. The ambiance is cool, and there is a really decent speakeasy vibe going on with the decor but maybe try it at night to see if that vibe comes through under cover of darkness, cuz today wasn't it.
