    We have eaten here many times over the last four years before a show and enjoyed the convenience and the variety of meal choices on the prix fix menus. Tonight’s included dinner choices were disappointing and certainly not worth the price. Offering a steak sandwich only well done was not acceptable. We will no longer eat here before upcoming shows.

    Excellent meatball appetizer served lukewarm followed by a very creative capon dish that probably dried out over an hour ago. The menu change is for the worst. Bring back the fillet mignon that was always perfect

    All food was delicious and plated beautifully. Service was outstanding and courses were well spaced. We were able to enjoy each course . Our view of the New River was lovely. Great place to dine anytime but especially prior to a performance at the Broward Center. So sorry to learn it will close permanently in June 2025.

    Was lovely table by the window. Of the three dishes we ordered, the steak sandwich was the best! Convenient dinner option, when going to a show.

    Staff exceptional. Food and beverage at below par...first time after years of satisfaction. Bar..adding $2 to your scotch bill for the addition of ice cubes...unheard of, anywhere. All the food that evening was dried out and over cooked...the appetizer, the chicken the fish... first time, so hopefully a bad night for the chef. we will return for a hopefully new and greatly improved experience.

    Nice place with a nice view of the canal. Service was great. Went for brunch buffet on Sunday before the play. I hope there were more food options and dessert variety.
