Restaurants near Oakland Park Shopping Center

Our server was terrific, the food was decent. The Wagyu Strip from Japan I thought would be smoother and more buttery melt in your mouth. The Fusilli Bolognese was amazing as always. The tiramisu was different from last year but just as delicious. Also if you are going to slice the steak prior to plating please allow it to rest more so all the juices aren’t running all over the plate, this also causes all the flavor to leave as well. The Truffle Oil Aioli did have a hint of truffle however it still tasted more of mayonnaise. The lemon compound butter tasted excellent could have used more.

We went the night after Valentines. It was a Saturday and can only get a reservation for 530. The restaurant is in the hotel indigo lobby. It’s not necessarily closed off from the lobby so it kind of feels like a part of the lobby. We were served immediately. we started with the crab hush puppies that came with a green goddess dressing. The hush puppies were really good. I didn’t really care for the green goddess dressing, but I’ve never been a fan. My husband loved it. I got a glass of wine and my husband had one of the most delicious smoky old-fashioneds we’ve ever had. Highly recommend. For dinner I ordered the trout over a vegetable patty. My husband had the filet with cheese fries. We also got a side of creamed corn and collard greens. They creamed corn was amazing especially for this time of year. It tasted fresh and I don’t know where they found good fresh corn. The collard greens were definitely seasoned well and some of the best I’ve had in Columbus. My husband‘s filet was medium rare and cooked absolutely perfect. Very tender and seasoned very nicely. The fries were good, better than average. For dessert we had the bread pudding. It was good. Wasn’t one of my favorite desserts I’ve ever had but I would recommend it if you love bread pudding. Overall, I would highly recommend this place and we plan on going back.

The food and service was great! My husband had the bone in pork chop and I had the crab cakes with the iceberg wedge salad. A lot of food, which I did not expect but was happy about. There were only 2 other parties in restaurant with us. There was only one waiter, who also had to serve as host to seat you, because the hotel is at low occupancy. He did a fantastic job! The ambience could have been better if the noise from the loud AC unit did not ruin it. We just sat as far from the noise as we could.

Everyone was nice and attentive however the food boil was salty and you knew the appetizers were from the freezer and just heated how you would do at home. Nothing extra done
