Best Casual Restaurants in Landings

They did a great job making my daughter’s birthday special. Live musician was great and added to overall ambiance. The only complaint is the charge for valet. It is by no means an economy restaurant even though a small fee to park at $8 just seems like it should be included.

DUNE is one of our favorite restaurants in Fort Lauderdale/Lauderdale-by-the-Sea area. The menu has creative, delightful choices and the atmosphere has a classy urban chic vibe but is very casual. The wait staff is very experienced and professional—we were particularly charmed by Alia’s service on our last visit.

Another fabulous meal, our favorite restaurant in Ft. Lauderdale, great wine, wonderful specials, service was great. They know how to do food right and the specials are always great!

I was pleasantly surprised and very pleased with the ambiance, service and quality of food & cocktails served. I highly recommend this restaurant for an enjoyable eating out experience.

Our Christmas Eve/birthday dinner was an exceptional treat for this party of 4. We made reservations for 7pm and were promptly seated. The ambiance is old time local family Italian American style- just the atmosphere that I was looking to share with my best friend and our two sons; neither of whom had ever experienced the magical “Feast of the Seven Fishes”, which Anthony’s was featuring this day (they also featured several non-fish and vegetarian dishes if you can’t or don’t like seafood/shellfish) Bread and dipping oils/butter were placed and quickly devoured by the crew. We ordered various appetizers including the fried calamari with a side cup of sauce and roasted grape tomatoes, buratta cheese with prosciutto, Caesar salad, beet and orange salad. Our entrees were varied , with a delicious pork ossobuco with rigatoni , beautifully braised and season; grouper francese with penne in lieu of the asparagus and mashed potatoes that were the sides; fiocchi alla carbonara (pear and cheese “purses” similar to small ravioli with a creamy carbonara. All delicious and warm. Desserts? Cannoli, lava cake with vanilla ice cream (like a deconstructed tortoni), amaretto di Saronno , and crème brûlée. Interestingly enough , no one selected the feast fish, which consisted of clams, mussels, mahi, shrimp, crab, lobster bits and scallops . I am in love with neighborhood mom and pops. The prices were not over the top, but the good and service were! Thanks, Anthony’s . Can’t wait for your Easter menu!
