    Salad
    Malika S.

    Riviera by Fabio Viviani on Fort Lauderdale Beach is a solid choice for brunch if you want beach views and attentive service. Mimosas were flowing, the bar area was relaxed, and staff was friendly. It's not usually crowded around brunch, making it ideal for catching up with friends. Prices can be a little high for portion sizes, but the oceanfront atmosphere makes it worthwhile.

    We got room service for breakfast! The food was delicious! Good quality and nice amount of all the items. The only thing I wish is that they would've sent real silverware versus plastic since they sent up real dishes. The avocado toast had more than enough Avocado which was great! The breakfast potatoes were crispy! The view from our balcony made breakfast in our room phenomenal!

    Seared Mahi Tacos

    (This place has the best fish tacos I've ever had) So was in the area about a month ago and after having been on the beach for a few hours the boyfriend and I were hungry. Decided let's walk up A1A to see what we can find. Came across this place, looked at the menu online and decided we'd try it. Was a Sunday, brunch time and wasn't crowded at all. Beautiful view of the beach and really nice to be when the weather is nice. Our waiter was very attentive and made sure we had plenty of water. I specifically got the Seared Mahi Tacos which I LOVED. Incredibly flavorful, filling, and colorful which I love. Everything was cooked to perfection. I want them again but alas I live in Texas. My boyfriend got the Smoked Salmon & Bagel Board and he loved it as well. We both cleared our plates.

    We were impressed with the menu options which included a lot of the "normal" breakfast items, as well as some more unique ones. We had the bagel board and frittata with potatoes. Both were very yummy and served piping hot. It's a little pricey for what you get, but service was good and you can't beat the beach view (across the street).

    I was excited to come here as it's a new restaurant for me. In September it's not super crowded with tourists in Fort Lauderdale so we got a seat outside facing the ocean. Our waiter was very attentive. We ordered off the happy hour menu which has $10 small plates and drinks(various prices). I had a glass of Prosecco which was just the right balance of dryness. We ordered the tuna nachos and the clams and mussels. The Tuna nachos were good, they had a little kick, they were served on very large size homemade potato chips. Unfortunately the clams and mussels were not so great. The mussels were either fished too early or overcooked because the inside stuck to the shells and was next to nothing. The waiter kindly agreed to replace it with another dish. We had the meatballs which comes with hardy pieces of bread. I liked the Tomato sauce, the meatballs were okay, I've had better and I've had worse

    AhhhMazing! Every single employee has been helpful, outgoing and downright delightful. Came here for brunch and back for dinner. The food, while on the higher price point, does Not disappoint and is presented with love whether eating in or taking to go. Beautiful seaside seating indoors and out, couches with fire pits as well! Pop in if you're walking by and If you are staying at the Maren, you won't ever want to leave

    Truffle Sachette / Patatas Bravas / broccolini
    Blue A.

    I've been here twice now and had two very different experiences. The first time almost everything we had was amazing. The tuna poke was great. The octopus was really tasty. But, the Sachette was the star of the show and It's actually why we came back a second time. This go around virtually everything was flavorless. With the exception of the Sachette, which was amazing again. If you decide to go that's the only must have. The hummus didn't taste like anything. The olives in it were the only pops of flavor you got. The chicken wings were good, but they were tiny and with only 8 in the order, they are overpriced. The rigatoni was super bland. The pasta itself was nice but the sauce was flavorless. Cocktails: The first time, they were great. Second time, same issue, they didn't taste like the ingredients on the menu. They were strong, so there's that. I don't think we will return, since it's a very pricy dinner...and we left completely disappointed. On second thought , maybe we just come back and sit at the bar for the Sachette and a wine haha

Just a side note, parking is limited and it's a small restaurant, so definitely make a reservation.

    Hi everyone and hope you are all gearing up for a great weekend. Last night we decided to head up…read moreto Fort Lauderdale and checkout a family owned Italian / Latin fusion restaurant called Tamarindo Harbor Italian Bar and Grill as we heard a he food was very good. I have to say that we were not disappointed. The food was excellent and the service was spectacular. Upon arrival we were seated very quickly and drinks were arriving within a few minutes. Was a light drinking night for us but happy to report that they do have a full bar so no worries if you want to dabble with the libations. After reviewing the specials with our server we opted for the Arancini Guava Goat Cheese appetizer, Cucumber Soup, the Chicken Parmigiana and the Special Salmon Champagne Risotto. Everything was fresh made to order and delicious. I have to say that you can tell this is a family owned business as the owners came by to make sure everything was to our liking and brought us some free appetizers and a dessert on the house as well. Not expected but was tasty and a nice touch as well. Was not aware but they have another restaurant in Hallandale if you don't want to come to Fort a Lauderdale but either way you should check them out. Atmosphere was very nice as restaurant was jumping and looks like they have live music in certain nights as well which could be a plus. They are located in a small plaza on North Federal Highway and parking should not be a problem either as there was plenty of it. The prices were also very reasonable as well which always helps. So if you find yourself in Hallandale or Fort Lauderdale and have a craving to visit an Italian / Latin fusion restaurant, well I highly recommend you check them out. I don't think you will be disappointed. Enjoy and Bon Appétit mes amis!

The food itself was good, but I left still feeling hungry.

It's worth going to - that's the bottom line. Especially if Adelina is your server. She kept order in taking our food/beverage requests and delivering the food. She made sure our glasses stayed full and actually asked everyone (we were 26 people) if everything was good/did we want anything. She had it together and made our experience golden. Before we went, I looked at the pics on Yelp and thought that the nosebleed prices for simple ingredients and the casual decor didn't seem to go together. And the menu is limited. I thought we were about to waste a lotta money on basic dishes - because we don't eat meat or chicken, our choices were even more limited. But we were part of a large group and we were looking forward to seeing our friends there. So we went and had a GREAT TIME! Look, I was wrong to suspect that this was a casual place with casual food. Its the best of both worlds because it is on the casual side but the food is formal as hell. The pinot noir that my husband ordered and the Don Julio 1942 tequila that I ordered over an ice ball were just right. The bread and pasta are made inhouse. I think the desserts are too. The sauces are the secret to the sparkle of each dish. Our friends ordered the zucchini flowers and went nuts dragging the bread in the gorgonzola sauce. I had the Pasta Siciliano, a fat, heavy, fresh ruffled pasta holding a sauce made of caramelized onions cut so thin they were like feathers, roasted and sauteed eggplant, black olives that were still hard, reduced tomato sauce and a dollop of ricotta. Clearly the person who put the cheese on top of the pasta knows I love fresh ricotta. My husband's grilled salmon, done exactly medium as requested, was a bullseye. I'd order that in a second. He said the spinach and roasted potatoes on the plate were 'delicious'. We split a tiramisu, which was a lightly flavored, fresh dessert. After dinner, we were serenaded and encouraged to join, which our table of 26 gladly did. It was a little post-dinner relaxation with dinner-mates. OR a bit loud and disorderly, as if the whole restaurant was a little drunk. I think it was that the food was great (seriously, we already plan to return), the service was freaken stellar and it was worth every penny, as shocking as it sounds. I am a believer now. It was that good.
