    I'm not going to lie, I was apprehensive about this restaurant. The previous restaurant in this location was not clean, it lacks good visibility, and wasn't a high volume location. Parking was okay, but I never felt comfortable after seeing the kitchen. Well, as Gomer Pyle used to say, "SURPRISE SURPRISE SURPRISE!" Uzzo was not it's predecessor. It's clean, spacious, the kitchen is immediately visible upon entrance, and the husband and wife team are very welcoming. While the build out was nothing to get excited about, the food was. All Mediterranean food has similarities. Greek, Lebanonese, Israeli, Turkish, Syrian, they all have commonalities due to the regional offerings, but each executes the preparation in different ways. We ordered light. The opener was the Mix Appetizer Platter for $29.00. You get 6 bowls of different dips and spreads, which include hummus, babagannus, muhammara, spicy tomato, girit ezme, haydari. While my initial thought was that it sounded like a lot for the app, when I realized it was under $5 for each bowl, I thought it was a bargain. My partner and I had our favorites, but there wasn't a single one of them that I would have voted out. My favorite was the girit ezme, a pistachio-centric dish, but the muhammara was also spectacular. We the had the Iskender Kebab $23.95, which is homemade gyro served over fried pide bread topped with a fresh tomato sauce, yogurt on the side. It was good, but the apps overshadowed it. We will be back to sample more, but we were full so the meal ended there.

    The Greek salad came with fresh veggies and a nice lightly tasting dressing; pretty skimpy on the feta though if you ask me

    It's been a while since we've visited any new restaurants. Given that Dvash had a 2 hour wait due to "reservations"; we went a couple blocks down to the Uzzo Mediterranean Restaurant! Going inside; we were seated quickly, but things began to pick up during dinner service. For tonight we shared 1x turkish bread with 1x side of hummus, 1x lentil soup, 1x greek salad, and 1x meat platter (comes with adana kebab, meatballs, lamb chop, lamb doner, chicken shish). Moving on with my review, the food tonight was delicious! The bread that had came with our meal; served with a spiced oil; had a nice chew and bubbly texture! The hummus tasted freshly made; creamy savory blended chickpeas and nice surprise of spice. The lentil soup had been pureed, but wasn't lacking as it was flavorful! The Greek salad came with fresh veggies and a nice lightly tasting dressing; pretty skimpy on the feta though. The star of the show; the meat platter was very tasty; the meats were tender and well seasoned; especially loved the made in house gyro! Moreover, the service was very attentive tonight. Overall, glad to say, although a little pricey; that we identified another exciting Mediterranean spot around the area. Final verdict; 4.5/5 stars!

    We had an excellent lunch here. My husband loves Turkish food having been stationed in Turkey many years back when in the Air Force. And he still remembers some words and phrases and enjoys practicing them. They have a large regular menu, but also have a special prix fixe lunch menu during the week. If you can go during the week, this is the best choice. And bring an appetite -- it's a lot of food! The 3-course lunch menu costs $19.95. The first course is a choice of soup or salad. There are three options. Then you choose an appetizer from 8 different options. And then the main course which has seven choices. While waiting for our food they served some thick bread with sesame seeds and a dipping oil. The bread reminded me of what is used for pide. And to drink, we had Turkish tea served hot in small glass cups. We requested some sumac spice on the side and used it liberally on our food. We both chose the Sheppard salad to start. This is a salad with chopped tomatoes, cucumbers and red onions, but without lettuce. It was quite crunch and refreshing. For my second course, I had the chickpea hummus -- creamy and topped with a bit of olive oil. My husband had the eggplant "babagannus" which was chunky and quite good, as well. For our main and last course, I chose their gyro. It was homemade -- the menu says "hommade" (!) and each sliced piece of the lamb and beef mixture was nicely seasoned and grilled. On the plate were some slice red onions, a grilled tomato and a spicy grilled pepper along with some rice pilaf and a small container of tzatziki sauce. It was some of the best gyro I'd had. My husband had his favorite, the adana kebab. This is ground lamb served as a long narrow strip and seasoned inside with some red chili flakes for a bit of a kick. His dish also had similar sides to mine. For dessert, we had another favorite of both of ours -- their kunefe. This was extra to the prixe fixe. But as it was one of the best examples we'd eaten - and we've had a lot -- it was well worth the price. The dessert is shredded filo with sprinkled nuts on top of a cheesy center. It was served warm over a sweet syrup. It was so delicious that we ate it entirely even though we were stuffed from the rest of our meal. I hope they do fantastically well as we are looking forward to returning and trying more of their authentic and delicious menu. This one is a definite keeper.

    The staff were really friendly. The place is very nice and is located in the back of a strip mall on Glades Rd near the turnpike in Boca Raton. We started off with tzatziki and falafel which was amazing. They amazing bread . My wife order the salmon which was tender and juicy. I had the lamb shish which was tender and very delicious. The meal and the service were amazing . This was a sure hit and we will be back

    I love Mediterranean (Lebanese, etc) food and will drive to any restaurant featuring such - and for me this is a drive, like west of turnpike drive and it's even west of Boca Raton. This was one of the worst Meditteranian restaurants I ever tried. Ever. The mezzo sampler had six lackluster dips and all were underwhelming but the worst was yet to come as we made the mistake of ordering two beef dishes and both were waiter recommended. I believe one was Lamb Doner and the other was Lamb Shank (could have been Osso Buco) and both were dry and tasteless and I'm thinking how did these make it out of the kitchen? The Doner was memorably bad. Service was okay and parking is easy.

    Woah. Long Island bagel cafe was a pleasant surprise that we didn't know existed. We got sailor…read morewrap on spinach wrap with egg onion bagel toasted with cream cheese for togo. I also asked my fiancee to buy me chocolate fudge protein snack. The sailor wrap was so much better than what we expected. It tasted perfectly seasoned not too heavy on the sauce and all the ingredients on the inside went well together. The bagel gets 3/5 stars but that might be because we drove 40 minutes home and asked everything for togo. Next time we get to try it again, we will try it while we are there and let you guys know with an update. They had ran out of several bagel flavors when we were there, so this place must be a pretty popular stop for bagels for the locals who live there. The chocolate snack that was loaded with 10g of protein had a nice taste and texture. I will for sure get it again next time. I would recommend this place to others to try, and I would be back myself in the future! Thank you Long Island Bagel Cafe for such a great first time experience.

    I know this place is well loved by many people, but I'm just not a fan, and I've tried their bagels…read morebefore and they have always been too doughy for my taste. I was in the plaza for an appointment and was absolutely famished, so I decided I'd give them another chance. I kept it simple, just a scooped pumpernickel bagel with veggie cream cheese. I heard the tuna was very good, so I got a small cup just to try it, thinking I'd bring it home for later. Unfortunately, the bagel tasted like it wasn't fully cooked, and the veggies in the cream cheese were barely visible. The amount of cream cheese they put on the bagel was absurd, so I ended up giving the bagel to my friend, and even he had to scrape off most of the excess cream cheese. The tuna was way too sweet for my taste. I asked if sugar was added and was told no, but something made it taste unusually sweet. Then there was the biggest issue for me, and that was they had Fox News playing in the small dining area. I'm there to eat, not be subjected to political programming. In today's incredibly divided world, choosing to play such a controversial channel in a restaurant is, in my opinion, a really poor business decision. Why not play something neutral that everyone can simply enjoy while eating? It's hard for me to understand why a business would create that kind of atmosphere when it's completely unnecessary. Between the bagel, the overly sweet tuna and especially the decision to have Fox News playing, I left feeling disappointed, annoyed, and definitely not anxious to return.

    A great Sunday outing for Mother's Day brunch with the fam…read more We sat outdoors by the pool with a live performer playing the guitar. Relaxing atmosphere. Indoors seemed to be more busy in the 90 degree heat, tho we were lucky with a table fully in the shade. Outdoors probably picks up more in the evenings. I started out with a Bloody Mary and went with the Farmer's House Smoked Salmon -- toasted organic sourdough bread, chive cream cheese, tomato, pickled red onions, cucumber, and sunflower sprouts. Delicious and light, great way to start the day properly. Farmer's Table has a solid and longstanding hype. I am Iong overdue in visiting for the first time. Perfect outing for special occasions.

    The people at the table across from us came over to ask how our service was... so you know it…read morewasn't good! It started off slow. Our waiter was nice enough but took forever to come get our order. The food came out. He came by to check before we ate anything. Ok fine. We let him know we've come a few times in the past 3 months (about once per month) and the smoked salmon was good to split as it always comes with 2 pieces of bread (which they cut in half- so 4 halves, perfect to make 2 mini sandwiches with) This time it came with a piece of bread and a half (so 3 halves). I'm looking around for our server he's no where to be found. I finally spot him but he doesn't see me and goes into the back area near the bar to speak with another server. He then pokes his head out and I get his attention. I told him we needed another 1/2 a piece of bread. It took a bit but the manager came brought 2 pieces of toasted bread with butter. We thought that was nice, they gave us extra for the wait. The manager asked if everything was ok, we had the bread so yes it was fine nothing to say. We weren't sure why be was asking (also didn't know he was the manager at that time) We also got the omelette which was ok, not great. No complaints just nothing special, we wouldn't get that again. (Not this trip but last time we got their potatoes which were so good and a really good flat bread with figs so most of their other food is good) Then it takes a bit but he comes to clean our plates... and disappears again. A while later he has that check machine in his hand (I hate those honestly- becoming a restaurant standard but gives you no time to discuss anything with your party or figure out the tip) he asked if we needed anything I said no, thinking he was having us pay since we're not ordering anything else- but then he just walked away. The other table is getting rowdy and annoyed not seeing him either now. I see that table out of the corner of my eye getting annoyed with him. They're ready to go, as are we. We finally get the check and they charged us $4.50 for the bread. Confused I asked about that mistake. He then told us he sent his manager over to talk to us (you did?) and he'll send him over again. So now we just want to leave but are waiting for the manager. The man who delivered the bread comes over. Tells me it depends how thick it is. Sometimes it's 3 sometimes it's 4 pieces (referring to the individual halves of bread) that's why we were charged for a side of bread. He then tells me the server must not have understood. I was very clear and asked for a half a piece- letting him know we always order this. I didn't ask for 2 slices with butter- which they brought. The manager offers to knock a few bucks off but it's made in house so that's all he'll do. I'm not really happy I didn't want all that, I didn't order it and really if your server misunderstood why am I being charged? (Plus we're already frustrated waiting there, we've been ready to go for a while at this point) Meanwhile the table next to us gets up to talk to the manager who's busy "fixing" our check as they also just want to leave. They're clearly frustrated as well. Then the server comes by and asks us if everything was solved. Not really but sort of. I hear him go to the manager behind us ... and the manager says "I'm going to charge them something for it" Someone else from that other table comes over to complain to us about how this place is going downhill. They also used to really like it there- but now they're spending their whole afternoon in there. We have a lovely chat about how frustrating this experience has been before the server comes back with our revised check. So I went from coming here at least once a month (literally my open table shows me coming here 3 times since the middle of March) but I will not be returning anytime soon and I have a feeling neither will that other party (Also on their menu on their website the bread is only $4.25 so we were overcharged no matter how you look at it. But you won you charged us something!)
