    Mistakenly charged for 2 drinks when I only had 1.
    Stephanie F.

    I attended this restaurant due to a scheduled Juneteenth happy hour with the Black in HR members. It was a nice restaurant with beautiful ambiance and decor. I had never heard of it so was glad to visit. I ordered the Truffle Parmesan Fries and the Sweet & Tangy Wings, as well as 1 Peacock Paradise drink. It was a good experience. I just wished I had noticed prior to leaving that I was charged for 2 drinks. Since some individuals were at the bar, I had them place my order. I think when she also ordered herself a drink, they assumed it was for me as well.

    NICOLE is an excellent server with mouth watering descriptions of unbelievable tastings on the menu. The atmosphere was unlike any other in town with a cool vibe and interesting music. The dishes were plated beautifully and served in small portions. This restaurant is a "must try" for the contemporary and unusual. SUPPORT LOCAL

    Amazing food and solid service! I was brought here by a local friend who has been a few times, so I knew it was going to be a good meal. Started off with a tequila shot to get the appetite going and we went to business. We got the Buffalo sriracha wings and Tuna Crispy Rice to start. The wings were solid but the tuna was one of the best bites of night. My only critique is that I wish there was more! Our mains were the duck risotto, short rib orchietta, and the oxtail. The risotto had a strong truffle flavor which washed out the duck's taste. The short rib was almost the best bite of meat until we had the oxtail. Absolute melt in your mouth. Will definitely be back for the food and vibes!

    I had been looking forward to trying The Katherine since it opened. It had been on my list for a while, and I was genuinely excited to finally experience it for Valentine's Day. Maybe I built it up too much in my mind but unfortunately, it didn't live up to the anticipation. There was nothing technically wrong with the meal. The food was fine. Perfectly OK. But at this price point, "OK" just isn't what you hope for. I want to leave a restaurant remembering at least one standout bite ,something I think about the next day. Instead, writing this now, I'm honestly struggling to recall most of what we ate. It just didn't leave an impression. The desserts followed the same pattern. They looked lovely, but the flavors didn't quite deliver. The strawberry torte, in particular, barely tasted like strawberry at all. The lemon tart was good ,bright and pleasant but not enough to elevate the overall experience. I was also a bit annoyed to see a $2 charge for still water. It's a small thing, but little details like that stand out more when the meal itself doesn't wow you. The wine list also leaned noticeably on the drier side, which may appeal to some, but offered limited options if you prefer something a bit more fruit-forward or balanced. Another small but notable detail: the chairs were uncomfortable, especially if you have any curve to your figure. For a restaurant positioned as an elevated dining experience, comfort matters particularly on a night when you're meant to linger and enjoy. On a positive note, the staff were friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable. They offered thoughtful recommendations and made the service feel polished and professional. Overall, it just felt like a disappointing Valentine's Day experience. Not bad, just forgettable. And for a restaurant I'd been so excited about, forgettable was the last thing I wanted it to be.

    Went to The Katherine for the first time for Happy Hour bites and drinks. I've been meaning to go there ever since they opened up! They have dedicated parking and the atmosphere is that of a warm, cozy gastropub. The happy hour can only be enjoyed at the bar, so that's where we parked. The service was friendly, helpful, and swift. Our drinks ($10 Negronis!) were perfectly crafted. We had the Brussels Sprouts, Smothered Clam Chowder Fries, and the Tuna Rice bites. All of the food was good, but the Tuna Rice Bites was the real standout dish. It was like fireworks going off in your mouth! Overall, we had a wonderful experience and I can't wait to return.

    Classy & approachable. Heightened ambience without pretension. Service was top notch - helpful & attentive. For a relatively small location, the space is used well & feels purposeful instead of crowded. The food is delicious. May be fusion at its best - with a focus on flavor over a cohesive theme. Recommended dishes below. The direction for the menu seems to be a Chef-led vision. I felt like there is a subtle Southeast Asian influence in many of the dishes. And an overall international consideration of ingredients that make even familiar dishes taste unique. Really enjoyed our dinner here. More than expected. My recommendations: - Charred Thai Cabbage "salad" (more like a stew). - Trini Oxtail w rice & peas. - Torrejas dessert. - cocktail: Campfire Mule.

    Came here for dinner on a Friday night with no resy but luckily snagged 2 seats at the bar. I was super excited to try out the menu - so much variety and love the fusion dishes. The food was outstanding. Service was awesome and our water was always filled. Cocktails could have been better and I wish they had a better mixologist, but the food more than made up for it. We shared: -Whipped Ricotta -Spicy Tuna on Crispy Rice -Kale Caesar Salad -Clam chowder fries -red curry branzino The standouts were the clam chowder fries and red curry branzino. Wow. I could drink a bowl of the clam chowder! Fries stayed super crispy too. The red curry had perfect amount of spice. I just wish there was a side of rice instead of being hidden under the branzino fillet. I saw some photos had a full branzino but we just had a fillet; maybe it was switched off the menu. Regardless, YUM. Only thing we weren't crazy about was the whipped ricotta. Flavor was subtle. The spicy tuna crispy rice was super fresh. Kale Caesar salad was awesome with apples and celery! We usually don't order salads but glad we did. When we are back in FLL, the Katherine will 100% be in our rotation. Maybe with some wine instead of a cocktail :)

    The service was excellent and the bathrooms were clean and tidy. The main dining area is small but they make good use of the space and have seating at the bar as well. But it's all about the food here. Delicious apps (the cabbage salad is warm and the MOST delicious bite everrrr) and the oxtail and butter chicken are to die for! The cocktails were yummy and good pours and our server was super helpful with the menu items. We plan on coming back again and again! An absolutely delicious experience!

    Bought into the hype of influencers and was super excited to try The Katherine but was a bit disappointed. Loved all the menu concepts and the decor inside is gorgeous. The staff is friendly and the food came out quickly. The Hamachi crudo was mild flavored and paired well with the sauce and microgreens but wasn't something I'd get again. The roasted bone marrow entree was a big portion with 4 slices of well toasted ciabatta bread and a lightly dressed kale side salad. The bacon marmalade topping was delicious and there was a lot of marrow in each half of bone. Unfortunately it was a little too rich and oily after having the first piece. My friend's short rib orecchiette was bland and the pasta was clumpy and stuck together. Our dessert was delicious though. The warm French toast topped with cinnamon peaches paired so well with the cold ice cream. Our favorite item of the entire meal.

    Short rib orecchiette
    Kate S.

    I've heard good things about The Katherine, so had to try it while int the area. There are only a couple of parking spots right outside the restaurant, but there is plenty of dedicated parking right around the corner. The entrance to the restaurant is at the rear or the restaurant. We arrived a little early for our 7:30 reservation and were sat right away. There were a handful of other tables that were occupied, and the vibe was quiet and comfortable, with good music playing. By about 7:45 the restaurant was packed and it was pretty loud, with the music much less noticeable over the chatter. Our server was great. She did recommend several plates per person for sharing. We ended up getting 2 appetizers, 2 mains, and 1 dessert between the 2 of us. We're fairly big eaters and we were stuffed with that amount. To start, we got the whipped ricotta and the charred cabbage. The whipped ricotta comes with a balsamic drizzle and tomatoes and was delicious. The charred cabbage was flavorful and came with a lot more pork than I expected. It wasn't really charred though...more boiled? It was very good, but not my favorite from the menu. For our mains, we got the shirt rib orecchiette and the oxtail. Both were delicious. Flavorful and would definitely get them both again. I'd recommend eating the orecchiette before the oxtail though, as the oxtail has a slightly sweet flavor profile that's stronger than the orecchiette, and almost makes the first bite of orecchiette seem bland when following the oxtail. The orecchiette was creamy and savory and was probably my favorite dish. For dessert we got the French toast. It comes with a seasonal compote, and ours came with apple. It was delicious. The ends has the perfect amount of crisp. The middle was perfectly gooey.

Sidecar Speakeasy was the play... The speakeasy entrance was hidden in a hallway you can walk right by without even noticing. I dig it. Once inside, it's dark. Most of the light is coming from the light showcasing the bottles in the bar. The seating is a little tight as they're trying to maximize space for such a small area. We visited here twice during my visit: We sat at a table and a bar. You have the perfect amount of space for your party, but you're pretty close to the next table or bar seat. No claustrophobic vibes though. All the mixologists were great during both visits. One visit, we ordered their signature cocktails from the menu. When we sat at the bar, we had the mixologist surprise with a cocktail off the menu. He just asked what kind of liquor vibe we wanted, and he took it from there. He was super creative with every cocktail which made for a great time. They stayed upon until midnight one one visit and until 1 am on the other one. Both my visits were on a weekday. The sidecar speakeasy is easily my favorite bar in Fort Lauderdale and I have a feeling I'll be back. Enjoy!

Parking was conveniently located right in front of the restaurant, making it an easy stop. As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted and invited to sit wherever we liked. We chose a table near the window and immediately appreciated the intimate and charming atmosphere. The restaurant also features a bar and televisions, creating a relaxed and welcoming vibe. Our waitress was pleasant, attentive, and made us feel right at home, which always enhances the dining experience. Although we weren't extremely hungry, the menu had so many appealing options that we decided to sample a few items. We started with the Caribbean Tea shots, which were unique, refreshing, and surprisingly enjoyable. For drinks, we ordered a Malbec and a Peanut Butter Old Fashioned. Our first entrée was the Churrasco Frites, featuring marinated skirt steak topped with chimichurri and served with twister fries. The steak was cooked perfectly, tender and flavorful, but those fries were the true star of the dish. Still wanting more, we ordered the Garlic Parmesan Twice Cooked Wings. They were nicely prepared and satisfying, though I would have enjoyed a stronger garlic flavor. Not quite finished, we moved on to the Oaxaca Burger, an 8 ounce burger stacked with onion rings, bacon jam, house BBQ sauce, and Oaxaca cheese. This was one of the best burgers I've ever had, and possibly the best. The bun was toasted yet soft, the burger was seasoned perfectly, and it was cooked to a juicy medium temperature. Every bite was packed with flavor. Overall, everything we ordered was excellent, and the service and atmosphere made the experience even better. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning.
