Having dinner at By Word of Mouth is a bit like being invited to dine at the home of a fussy middle-aged matron, a person considered a very good cook in her day, someone who once published a newsletter widely admired by friends and neighbors (“Kathryn’s Kitchen”) and who occasionally contributed recipes to the local […]
The converted 1880s “conch” houses that form the Marquesa Hotel back up to this lovely boutique restaurant that serves an ever-changing menu of local seafood married with worldly flavors. Here, Chef Susan Ferry creates unexpected pleasures out of yellowtail snapper, working the fillet into an herb-dusted medallion and then setting it off with a summery […]
The burgers at this retro, West Coast-style joint come wrapped up in wax paper like a classic

In a town that has new restaurants opening and closing on a daily basis, that really is saying something. Inside this cavernous little restaurant, cuddly couples and lively […]

Cap’s Place, set on an island in what used to be acres of scrub and beach sand, is now surrounded by million-dollar condos and even pricier yachts in Lighthouse Point, but that just makes the nostalgia even richer.

We’re surprised the tables and chairs haven’t been breaded and given the hot-oil treatment in this joint, where much of the menu (look down; it’s your place mat) comes as crisp as Jack jumping over the candlestick. Catch owners Shirley and Dewey on the right night and it’s fry-factory delight with all-you-can-eat shrimp and fried […]
Champps Americana, part of a sports bar and restaurant chain, is loaded with TV screens so you can catch the various games from one seat. Warning: No one will leave this place hungry. The portions here are huge, and it’s likely you’ll have to ask the server for a doggy bag. The portions match the […]
Any chain restaurant applying for an operating license in Florida ought to have to complete a course in the Char-Hut methodology. This little Florida franchise, which opened its first outlet in 1976 to sell char-grilled burgers, onion rings, and hot dogs, is doing so many things right that it
Munchen, as in Old-Munchen, is German for Munich. But it’s also a signifier of the spirited good times cooked up at this Pompano Beach eatery in that the place feels just like a beer bar set in the historic Bavarian capital. The small restaurant is lined with beer bottles and decorative steins and anchored by […]
In Fort Lauderdale, bars come and go quicker than the tide rolls in, but every now and then, one opens and decades later new generations of locals are filling up the barstools, just like here at Cheers.

Strip clubs appeal to the simplest impulse of man: sex. So how did we let the strip club become so damned high-concept? Is the modern man really unsatisfied with merely the sight of impossibly gorgeous nude women? Must he also be seated on some regal piece of furniture within a palatial space throbbing with neon, […]
The refurbished restaurant is now billed as a “modern seafood bistro,” the emphasis being placed on local, sustainable fish and produce – and on lower prices, an effort to change the perception of Allen’s from fine-dining destination to casual neighborhood haunt. Start with seafood chowder – a thin, bracing broth brimming with fresh shellfish – […]
Proving grounds for the students of the International Culinary School at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale and open only a few nights a week, Chef’s Palette provides an unusual dining experience. The school is located just beside the 17th Street bridge, and its see-through design lets you get a view of the action in […]
