    The first impression upon arrival is the sheer size of the venue. The front area offers more secluded seating, while the back opens into a large hall complete with a bar, stage, and dance floor. We visited on a Tuesday at 7 PM with a group of nine and had no difficulty finding seating, as the space was largely empty. Service was a highlight of the experience--our server was attentive, patient, and accurate when taking our orders. The happy hour promotion was appealing, offering two margaritas for $14. However, the drinks themselves were underwhelming: the passion fruit margarita was overly sweet, while the traditional version was excessively tart. For food, I ordered two tacos--one beef and one fish ($4 each). Unfortunately, they did not meet expectations; the tortillas tasted store-bought rather than freshly made, which impacted the overall quality. We were also there for the comedy show scheduled to begin at 8 PM. Based on the setup, we assumed it would take place on the main stage in the large hall. Only later were we informed that the show was actually being held in a separate, smaller room with its own bar and stage, where it had already begun. This lack of clear communication was disappointing and detracted from the experience. Overall, while the service was commendable and the venue has potential, the food, drinks, and organizational aspects fell short. As a result, I would be unlikely to return.

    Cannot believe it took me 2 years to try here. Ive been hearing about here for so long by family members, friends and the community. We decided to try here for an after work meet up. They offer a great variety of foods, lots of appetizers and different kinds. See menu in photos. I decided to try the bang bang shrimp, which it does state that it comes with 12 shrimps. Let me tell you, each shrimp was coated perfectly, and you could see the whole shrimp, even after leaving it at the table, you still would get a good crunch out of it.. not sure how they do it but it works! Ive tried banging bang shrimp at many places, and I can honestly say this is the best one I ever had. Not once did my shrimp texture ever feel soggy. I tried the chicken quesadilla and boneless wings and flat breads, all were delicious, none of us had any issues with any of the foods. And all the drinks were also good, none of my friends had any issues. Had the honor of being able to get a sneak peek of the speak easy and I have to say I am shook. Normally this is something you would see in Miami or Fort Lauderdale but for local broward county to have this is just super cool! Its located behind the book shelf, open on Thursday, Fridays and Saturdays. As soon as you walk in you feel so peaceful and calm and cozy. If you walk in there feeling negative, sad or anxious and then you will leave with a sense of inner peace that help you feel some calm vybes. This is definitely a spot to have a date night and drinks or even a cappuccino. We got to meet one of the owners Dylan and he was such a delight, even shared a lovely story of the family inspiration behind opening this restaurant. You will definitely walk out of here feeling positivity . Will be coming again more often. Check out there Instagram to see the latest events, they have trivia nights as well and live performances.

    This restaurant is a hidden gem with live entertainment every night and a full bar with splendid employees. The building alone is huge so I shouldn't have been surprised they made good use of that and added a speakeasy. brilliantly done. Food was flavor and not over the top. Waitress checked on us almost every minute until a child fell and even then she took care of him and us, it was too precious. We even got to speak to the owner which was cool. I'll be returning. Definitely a vibe of its own.

    Food, drinks, service and ambiance are 10 over 10. Micha is the sweetest and it makes your experience even more enjoyable!

    An American restaurant with emphasis on seafood and includes a hidden Speak Easy jazz bar which establishes this new eatery as a worthy South Florida unique destination. Plenty of up front parking with an inviting exterior. The ambiance immediately displayed the WOW factor as you enter with the name Ovivi's illuminated brightly in red and lime proudly affixed against the wall in full view. We were sat by the friendly server, Shannon, who explained some of menu. It was happy hour and we ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp and the Crispy Brussel Sprouts. Both were well seasoned and again, WOW. The entrees were a foodies dream providing both awe-inspiring taste and creative presentation. The juicy Grilled Mahi Mahi Sandwich wedged between a tender brioche bun was well complemented by seasoned thin french fries. The generous portion of Coconut Curry Salmon hovered over a bed of jasmine rice and was seasoned perfectly with aromatic spices and a hint of lemon zest. The manager took us on a tour of The Hidden Gem Lounge which was an intimate low lit addition to the rest of the restaurant. The massive back room offers a stage with live music on the weekends including a full liquor bar with an occasional DJ. The bathroom was clean and had cement flooring with black accented stalls, which produced an industrial theme.

    Service is great. Armando is the best bartender. They make you feel like you are at home. The speak easy is the place to be. Food has great flavor. The ambiance is perfect.

    Shame on me for never trying this place sooner. Came here on a quiet Sunday early afternoon and had the run of the entire inside. Beautifully decorated restaurant with a Speak Easy added to the ambiance - I want to rent this out for a party. Loved the Charred Chicken Caesar Salad with an Aperol Spritz to wash it down. The entire restaurant was a picture takers dream location. Management told us that weekend nights is when they offer live music.

    Monica's premier burger.  It's loaded with flavors !

    It was Saturday night and the Wolfpack arrived to a packed house -we were told we were getting a new server named Bella. Bella heralds from Sarasota and is here to attend college-Bella's skills as a server quickly became apparent- Since I was the first to arrive, she made sure she logged in each guest's name and skillfully managed each of our food and drink orders to perfection -My comment to Management upon paying was that Bella is a keeper! Welcome to the pack Bella!

    Ovivi's Hangover Burger was epic accompanied by roasted potatoes & veggies.

    I was looking for a place to take my mother for brunch, I remembered that Ovivi's has a brunch on Sundays. Having experienced several meals there recently, we went and were not disappointed at all. The service was excellent and always accompanied by a friendly smile. Other team members would come by and check on us regularly, as did the owner Dylan and their chef. Super nice folks. Our beverage and food came out promptly, fresh and hot! The plating and presentation were excellent, and the food was delicious. This is a must try place! Check their webpage and social media pages for specials and entertainment schedule. Their speakeasy bar is always a cool atmosphere to have craft cocktails and listen to live jazz music. Ovivi's has become one of our favorite local spots!

    I recently dined at Wolf Steakhouse in Cooper City and wanted to share my experience. Father's Day…read moreat Wolf's was a full house! First, the ambiance is absolutely beautiful. The restaurant has an elegant yet comfortable atmosphere that makes it perfect for a special occasion, date night, or simply enjoying a great meal with family and friends. Our server, Lisa, was wonderful throughout the evening. She was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and always checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. Her professionalism and positive attitude truly enhanced our dining experience. The food was once again delicious, and the quality of the dishes was evident. However, there were a couple of minor issues during our visit. It was a very busy evening, so I understand that the staff was working hard to accommodate a full restaurant. We did wait a little over an hour for our appetizers, and when they finally arrived, our entrées were brought out only a couple of minutes later. Additionally, I have a mushroom allergy, and some mushrooms were accidentally mixed in with the grilled onions on top of my steak. What impressed me most was how quickly and professionally the situation was handled. As soon as management became aware of the cross-contamination issue, they immediately stepped in, took it seriously, and worked quickly to correct it. Their response demonstrated a genuine commitment to guest safety and satisfaction, which I greatly appreciated. While no restaurant is perfect, great service is often measured by how challenges are handled, and Wolf Steakhouse's management team did an excellent job making things right. Between the beautiful atmosphere, attentive service from Lisa, delicious food, and management's dedication to customer care, I will absolutely be returning. I'm already looking forward to my next visit so I can finally try the tomahawk steak!

As we walked into the restaurant, we were greeted by a lovely host wearing a beautiful black suit. Live piano music, so unexpected, created a really wonderful atmosphere. We were seated at our table and all the women in our group were brought long stem roses (no thorns!) which was honestly so lovely. Our server helped us select perfect cocktails. The Lavendar Wolf was my favorite, though a friend's smokey old fashioned smelled like Christmas. For dinner, steak was of course the star. I had a beautiful filet which came served with carrots and broccoli. Extra sides could be added, so we opted for some sauteed mushrooms. A lobster-loaded baked potato was also offered at a reasonable $16 add on. I missed out on that this trip, but will definitely add that next time. Decor is beautiful, tables are well-spaced, lighting is very good, service is excellent. Can't wait to go back!

The ambiance was pleasant, and the staff were all very friendly and welcoming. That said, it felt like the restaurant was a bit understaffed for the evening. It seemed like there was only one waitress handling the entire dining room, which did cause some delays in service at times. Overall, my party was fairly happy with the experience. My chicken fajitas were very well prepared and packed with great flavor. Unfortunately, my spouse's ribeye was a bit underwhelming--the marbling was excessive, which affected the overall quality. On a positive note, the margaritas were well made and enjoyable. I'm giving it a solid rating because I'd love to see a small business like this succeed, but in all honesty, it felt closer to a 3.5-star experience.

The decor remains a win. Bright, festive, and exactly what you want from a neighborhood Mexican spot. Our server was friendly, attentive, and genuinely pleasant -- no complaints there. The food, though... felt like an off day. It took quite a while to arrive, especially considering the restaurant wasn't busy. And when it did hit the table, it was lukewarm. Not cold, not terrible -- just not what you hope for when you're excited and hungry. We ate it without making a fuss (we're not "send it back three times" people), but it definitely didn't match the quality of our first visit. The flavors weren't popping the way I remembered. That said -- here's where I land. Every restaurant has an off day. Kitchens get slammed, timing gets off, things happen. My first experience was strong enough that I'm willing to chalk this up to one of those days. I believe in second chances. I believe in supporting local businesses. And I'll be back -- because when they're on, they're good. Consider this a hopeful 3.5-to-4 star mindset with optimism for round three.

The Israeli Crispy Chicken was my favorite!! The chicken was crispy, the meat was tender. The Matbucha with the Morrancan spices, tomato, roasted red peppers reminded me of a dish we ate in Sicily. So LOVED it! Both our eggs were poached to perfection, too. The service by Isaac was excellent! Attentive, but not overbearing, and friendly.
