A lady at bar said to me. "Be prepared to wait a long time" I ask a server if I can order from him and he says he's not allowed to do to go orders. He then went over to another server that took my order finally. Then she said she will have to wait at the servers section for it. She went there and the rude lady bar tender ignored her also. Made drinks then asked what she's waiting on. Proceeded to make other drinks and then poured a lot of tap water and a lil lemon concentrate into a glass with a sugar mix. $9.56 later I got my horrible 12 oz drink after waiting so long and watching the rude bar tender not give two hoots about her clientele. Looks like this place needs an over haul and they won't get that with terrible Personel running stations. The waitress that took my drink order and the guy that got her were nice. Not impressed

The two surprise bags (meals) I purchased using the To Good To Go app were delicious…read more Meal 1 included fried chicken wings, yams and cornbread. The flavors of all the items were perfect, not salty but just enough to enhance the food. Time and care definitely went into the preparation because the flavor was throughout each item, seasoning was not just dumped on the surface. Six large chicken wing pieces (flats and drummettes) were moist inside and crispy outside. The sweet yams were a warm hug that I tried to eat slowly for a lingering effect. The large square of cornbread absorbed all the pot liquor of collards that I personally added. Meal 2 included a fried chicken thigh, two baked or grilled chicken pieces (drummette and flat) and generous portion of French fries. I only ate one of the fries, which was good--but saved that meal for tomorrow's dinner. The meals were neatly packaged in sturdy containers. Utensil napkin pack provided. The wait staff was pleasant. There was a private party seated in the section south of the bar. I enjoyed the lively music playing while I awaited receipt of my orders. Definitely will return again.

From fusion dishes like the La Chapi Roll and Tiesto Chofan to tender ribs and dessert, this spot blends Dominican and Japanese flavors seamlessly. Perfect for family dining, celebrations, or a lively night out, El Tiesto Cafe is a must-visit in Fort Lauderdale. Where food meets adventure, see you back at the table! IG: @shallonztable El Tiesto Cafe in Fort Lauderdale is one of those hidden gems you might pass by if you're not paying attention and that would be a mistake. My group visited to celebrate my birthday, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. From the outside, the restaurant is unassuming. Step inside and you're greeted by neon accents, an industrial-style space, and artwork that reflects the menu: a thoughtful blend of Dominican and Japanese culture. Th From the outside, it's unassuming. Step inside and you're met with neon accents, an industrial-style space, and a thoughtful blend of Dominican and Japanese décor through the art work that reflects exactly what the menu delivers: balance, culture, and intention. The menu offers a solid mix of appetizers, sandwiches, sushi, and entrées all weaving Dominican comfort with Japanese-inspired elements. The music sets the tone perfectly: upbeat, vibey, and not overpowering, so you can actually enjoy conversation. It's family friendly as there was a mix of various groups and ages enjoying the establishment. Dining is available both indoors and outdoors, with an upstairs lounge that opens later in the evening for DJ sessions on weekends making this a great dinner-to-night-out spot. It's conveniently located just before the train tracks, with paid street parking and nearby lots available. Service stood out immediately. When we arrived, managers were hands-on and present, explaining that things pick up later in the night. I noticed Rollo in particular consistently welcoming guests, walking them through the menu, seating them, and pointing out essentials like restroom locations. That kind of consistency matters. The entire staff was attentive, friendly, and made the experience feel easy. What We Ordered & Loved: Mini Mofongos - Beef & Chicken ($15) Served in green plantain cups, these mini mofongos were savory, garlicky, and comforting. Both meats were juicy and well-seasoned. Picadera de Campo Sampler ($38) A Dominican-style platter with sausage, chicken wings, fried cheese, salami, fried green plantain, and yuca fries. This sampler brought full Dominican vibes to the table. I'm not usually a wings person, but these were naked, well-seasoned, and surprisingly good. That Yuca came topped with chimichurri sauce, that was a rich harmonious blend herbs and garlic coming through and man it was delicious along with everything on the platter. And fried cheese? Always a yes. Great portion, great presentation, perfect for sharing. La Chapi Roll ($18) Chicken tempura, bacon, cream cheese, ripe plantain, chicharrón, eel sauce, sweet chili, bell peppers, and mashed avocado. Now let me be clear -- I am not a sushi lover. But this? One of my favorite dishes of the night. The crunch, the sweetness from the chili sauce, the richness of the tempura, every bite delivered balance of everything.This roll is a must-order, especially if sushi usually isn't your thing. Tiesto Chofan ($20) Dominican-style fried rice we had the mix of chicken and shrimp, it was layered, perfectly seasoned, cooked just right, and packed with flavor, they didn't hold back on the protein. This is one of those dishes I'd recommend to everyone, comforting, bold, and satisfying and balanced with the ripe plantains. La Cosquillita ($26) 24-hour Dominican-seasoned baby back ribs glazed in a homemade Japanese BBQ sauce, served with sushi rice and tostones. You can smell the ginger in the sauce before the first bite, and it creates a cohesive, balanced flavor that pairs beautifully with the fresh sushi rice and plantains. It's a balance of ginger in the bbq sauce that makes the dish interesting, the meat was tender and flavour forward. Tiesto Tres Leches ($8) Flavor-wise, it's very vanilla forward, but I personally wished the cake was more soaked. It was light, still enjoyable just not my favorite dish of the night. The flavor of the milk was amazing, spiced and flavourful and would make it even better if soaked a bit more. Extras Worth Noting 20% Service charge is automatically included. Street paid parking is available. They offer nightly specials . I do like they had a Saturday specials, and unlike most places, Saturday 2x1 drink special on mojitos, margaritas, sangria from 3pm-5pm which makes this an easy early-evening stop. Overall, El Tiesto Cafe delivers on atmosphere, service, and flavor. It's a place where cultures meet, food tells a story, and the vibe carries you from dinner into the night. Where food meets adventure--see you back at the table! IG: @shallonztable Review #2 - 2026

Their happy hour prices are really good and let you try their Latin/asian fusion concept. I had a "sushi" roll made with rice and beans and pork belly. And three crispy type rice cups with various toppings. It was tasty but certainly not traditional. It made for a good spot for a meal before a show at the Broward center. We did have to push a little to track down the waitress a couple of times for drink refills and for the check because she wasn't super attentive. The drinks from the bar also took a while to come out. So plan for plenty of time here if you have a show after.

The service was friendly, yet, they got our order wrong and were complaining to one another within earshot of me when they realized it. Canned water = $4 Lemonade smoothie = $6 Strawberry smoothie = $6 Strawberries & cream smoothie = $6 ($10 with a dinosaur cup. They had interactive dinosaurs on display through September 2024.) The cafe is situated between the flamingo pond and the tram station. Plenty of trash can receptacles to throw away your cups. Highly recommend a visit to the Gardens.

We made a reservation on a Friday night for 8:30pm - unnecessary as there was plenty of seating at this time anyways. The hostess was very friendly and seated us right away. The server was also very polite and took the time to tell us about what sets Florida Room apart from other restaurants out there. They don't use any seed oils and instead cook with beef tallow - yum! Ambiance-wise, the restaurant was more upscale than I expected for a place that's tied to The Fort (pickleball courts). Inside was cozy and intimate, perfect for a date night or night out with friends, not so much for families with small children. We tried the watermelon and feta appetizer along with two plates from the specials menu: shrimp and grits and a pistachio-crusted chicken. The watermelon and feta was good but I wouldn't necessarily get it again. The two entrees were so so good. The chicken dish was particularly divine and had an amazing sauce with cute tiny delicious mushrooms. Not sure how long these special dishes will be available but if you get the chance to try them, you should! We will definitely be coming back to try more!

Of you aren't playing there is convenient parking all the way down on the left side of the main parking area. We each ordered a drink...i went for a coke while the others had diet Coke, a margarita and the cucumber martini. We bypassed apps and went straight for meals. They fry everything in beef tallow so it does limit my options but I went with the Margherita Sourdough flatbread, which was really good! One of my friends had a tortellini like pear pasta I believe...I don't see it on the menu anymore but it was divine! We all took a bit lol! My other friend had the smoky ribs with a side of mash and their mom had the surf n' turf...Everyone was very happy with their meals. I was able to take half of my flatbread to go. We play pickleball here every once in a while, not actual Fort members, but I do like having this option when we do come, either for a date night with my husband or a girls night with friends.

A new French American breakfast brunch restaurant on Las Olas we experienced for the first time…read more Very bright and cheery atmosphere with an inviting French ambiance. Looking around at the people seated at the bar I noticed people drinking colorful refreshing cocktails so looking at their cocktail menu one can't go wrong. In addition their assortment of coffees were just as plentiful. Plenty of healthy options, omelettes, pancakes and French Toast. Everything looked so good was hard to choose. I ordered one of my favorite breakfast dishes , Avocado, Salmon Toast. Served with a hard boiled egg and sesame oil, it had nice portion of Salmon which was perfect and not too filling. Such a beautiful presentation. My wife had a nice size Mediterranean Salad served wilt quinoa and feta cheese. Beautiful large portion. The variety of options on this menu are staggering for just breakfast or brunch but also creative. If you have a look at the Little Hen Favorites there are dishes you may not find for breakfast anywhere. Little Hen also he a slight Mexican flare to the menu.
