This night is called Bouyon night. It's a Haitian establishment that serves Haitian food. Bouyon(…read morebouillon) is a hearty soup that Haitians enjoy. However, they do have other Haitian food as well. It's every 3rd Friday. The place is pretty big and decorated simply and nicely. The large bathroom was clean. There's even a VIP section in which someone was celebrating a bday. The Bouyon was good. Not too salty. But, I have tasted better. The service was good and the servers polite. There was a good crowd. However, the DJ wasn't good. He would stop between songs instead of mixing them one into the other. Or after a really good song he'd play something slow. Many times the crowd expressed their displeasure. Would I go back? Absolutely! I've heard different DJs go there and it's awesome. Next time I'm in town I will try to go back.

Built in…read more1950 to honor veterans--including Fort Lauderdale native Alexander "Sandy" Nininger (October 20, 1918 - January 12, 1942), a West Point graduate from the Class of 1941. Nininger was a Second Lieutenant in the US Army assigned to lead a unit of the Philippine Scouts. He was killed in action in the Battle of Bataan and he became the first Medal of Honor recipient of World War II. The venue has long been a meaningful part of this community. Located next to the Florida Panthers' practice facility in Holiday Park, the auditorium has hosted an impressive range of events over the decades. In its early years, it welcomed U.S. presidents like Richard Nixon, renowned ballet companies, and legendary performers such as Buddy Holly and Otis Redding. In more recent years, it transitioned to gun shows, wrestling matches, flea markets, and smaller concerts, and eventually fell into disrepair. That all changed with a major restoration led by the Florida Panthers organization, which privately funded a $65 million renovation along with the development of the Baptist Health IcePlex. The goal was to revitalize the west side of Holiday Park and create a more family-friendly destination--and they delivered. The renovation beautifully preserves the building's classic Art Deco façade while introducing modern upgrades throughout. Inside, the marble lobby floor features the original in-ground commemorative plaque, restored and inscribed with the words: "a living memorial to those whose valor perpetuates our liberty." A bronze statue of a soldier--donated in the 1970s by American Gold Star Mothers in memory of those lost in the Vietnam War--is now prominently displayed in a dedicated niche above the entrance to the event space. Today, the 44,000-square-foot venue has been transformed into a modern music and event space through a partnership with the City of Fort Lauderdale. It's now part of a growing multi-use district and regularly hosts concerts, shows, and community events. I recently attended an Indie Craft Bazaar here and had a great experience. There's plenty of free parking in the fields across from the complex, which is a huge plus. Inside, you'll find multiple bars and concession areas. The space itself is open, stylish, and highly adaptable. It's not a traditional theater with fixed seating--instead, it has a flexible layout that can accommodate around 3,400 people. It works just as well for concerts, comedy shows, and DJs as it does for weddings and graduations. Despite all the modern upgrades, the venue still honors its roots. The restored plaques, statues, and memorial elements serve as reminders of its original purpose, giving the space a sense of history and meaning that sets it apart from newer venues. Overall, it's a thoughtful blend of past and present--and a great addition to Fort Lauderdale's event scene.

I graduated in 1966 telling you how old I am and how long it has been here. I'm glad to say my team Florida Panthers Hockey have a great partnership with the auditorium! If I still lived in Fort Lauderdale I'd be spending a lot of time here for hockey events, concerts and more. My dear deceased friend Aggie even had her quilt in a quilt show here. I love this place!!

What a beautiful place for a wedding! I never knew this place existed and I would never have found…read moreit if I wasn't invited to a wedding there. It is down at the end of a long road. There are giant houses all around but this one is the biggest! I spent most of my time on the grounds since it was an outdoor wedding. There was plenty of room for the ceremony out front, (although half of the guests were in direct sun at 5:30 pm in March.). We had a grassy area with small round tables set up for a cocktail hour; and then a large open patio area by the pool was where the main meal took place. The pool area was spectacular with a beautiful slide built in and a built in table right inside the pool. There was also an in-ground hot tub in the pool area. There were lush green plants all around and lots of cool wood and rock formations as accents. The yard was huge! The only interior part of the house I saw was the room adjoined to the patio where the bar was set up. It was very spacious as well and I heard there were enough bedrooms to accommodate the entire wedding party of 12 to stay there for the weekend. Overall Hacienda de las Palmas is a beautiful, tropical venue in Northrn Broward County, and an ideal spot for an outdoor wedding or special event!

The venue is absolutely…read morebeautiful, and we decided to spend the extra $ to stay in the property for the full weekend with our bridal party. The property is gorgeous, so we didn't have to spend a ton on additional decor for our wedding, and there are so many options for space to have your wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. The venue manager Devin is super cool, and easy to communicate with (if I ever couldn't reach her right away, I would just send a follow up text and she would be prompt to reply!) Devin is also an event planner so she assisted with vendors, and and all of the vendors she recommended were fantastic!! There were small things that we missed out on, like the fireplaces not working during the time of our stay, but overall nothing was enough of a bother to subtract even half a star from our review. We would recommend Hacienda de las Palmas to anyone looking for a beautiful wedding venue in south florida that isn't just the standard ballroom or beach vibe!!

Scheduled time was 11-3, but when we…read moregot their we had to wait because they werent ready, so went back to our cars because the heat was brutal. When we finally got inside they had a dj and cute decorations. Also had a table with food and mocktails. We sat for about 30 mins and then we started off with brunch. They offered fruits, grits, fried chicken, sausage, potatoes, waffles, bacon, eggs, croissants, and more. Unfortunately the food was pretty cold, but it still tasted really good so i can imagine how much better it would have been if it was atleast warm. They also had a $1500 raffle (my group didnt win). After we ate we headed to the bar and got some margaritas which we mixed with the mocktail. When it was finally time to start painting we were expecting to be shown step by step but instead it was a quick instruction and just go for it type of thing ,but we still enjoyed it. Everyone their was very friendly and attentive.
