    It's a really big venue with lots of spacious seating, so it was not crowded and that's a great thing in my book! Jacklyn waited on us, and she was really professional and thoughtful. We were attending an event at the Broward Center, so we planned an early dinner and made reservations for 6 pm on a Friday. The early time may have been a factor. Their menu, was not too bad, a bit of the comfort foods and the like. It had a little something for most palates. The decor and looks of this place gives the impression it's really fancy, so I was shocked they had real modest pricing! It was all under $200 for two, including our drinks, two appetizers, and two meals. Our server even comped us the dessert, which was extra topping on already a nice treat. For starters, we had shrimp and cheese curds, and for the meal we had the braised rib with polenta and the bone-in pork chop. Everything was good tasting and nicely presented. The service was great too, with our server going out of her way to make sure we were promptly served and always checked on. Thank you Jacklyn for your excellent service! We hope to be back again soon.
