    Who ordered lobster quesadillas-which really looked like a burrito and had a generous portion of lobster. We also ordered the Mexican chopped salad, which was also good. We loved the location overlooking the Fort Lauderdale beach and people watching entertainment.

    Hostess put us at a great table but then moved us because we were three not 4, seconds later, she sat 3 people at the table she moved us from. Our high top table was between the hostess stand and bar. We dealt with everyone’s backs and butts to us while we were trying to eat dinner. That table should be eliminated. If it wasn’t for our wonderful server Camilla I would’ve called the manager.

    Really cute restaurant and the view is Amazing. It was good but not what I would consider a special date night restaurant. It was our wedding anniversary but we decided not to have dessert or tell them since it was extremely crowded and busy. The tables are pretty close together so not the best spot for an intimate dinner but it’s perfect for friends and big family dinners.

    Service was incredibly slow. Guac is really delicious. Lemonade served without ice was strange.

    We came to dinner on Thursday because of the so called taco bar for $5 and special rate drinks. Our server Ishfaq handed us menus and we then had to ask about the socials, it was not explained to us. He said there was no taco bar, only a choice of 3 tacos with no additional toppings for $5.00. As soon as he realized we were there for the special, our server and quite rude. He took our drink order which tops 20 minutes to get and then finally took our taco order. After we got the taco, no one came back to check on us at all until we asked for the check. We were very disappointed as we are hotel guests. We expected a much better experience. If the hotel is going to advertise specials to hotel guests they should be truthful in their advertisement and also train staff to treat all customers respectfully.
