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.

Joey is an amazing server! He makes the dining experience at Marti’s so much fun. We went for brunch before the Michael Jackson show (show was fabulous). We had the shrimp cocktail, chicken lettuce wraps. Bagel and salad with salmon. And the mini croissants are yummy! All wonderful!

The host was kind and found our party of 3 a nice table with a view of the intercostal waterway. Our waiter did not explain the price fixe menu well and did not take our drink order. I had to flag him down and ask about drink options. When I asked about tea and coffee, he ran off to get the “tea box” without asking me for my preference. There was no one refilling the water gasses on the table. Finally, the food itself was very average; wilted salad, dry protein and desert that tasted like it was thawed from the freezer. The only reason to dine at this establishment is due to convenient location to the Au Rene Theater. We will not be coming back anytime soon.

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.
