The Floridian

The kitschily decorated Floridian provides chi-chi Las Olas Boulevard with a shot of down-home diner attitude. Weekend mornings find the place packed with couples (gay and straight) loading up on huge made-to-order omelets, pancakes, and French toast. For an old-fashioned, protein-heavy meal, the country-fried steak and eggs can’t be beat, and the biscuits and gravy […]

Flossie’s Bar and Grill

Sundays are the day to visit Flossie’s, tucked away on a service road in Dania Beach. Despite the down-and-out location, regulars describe it as a family bar. Family for bikers, that is. Drive into the parking lot to find a sea of Harleys: shiny new hogs, some with cabs, others with

Owned by mother/daughter team Mary and Francesca Siragusa, the restaurant offers a wide variety of organic fare ranging from vegan and vegetarian […]

The Frog and Toad

A terrific representative of the cherished British pub, this cheerfully decorated, low-ceilinged tavern looks like a hobbit hole. But the feed is more for giants than little people — outstanding mussels in curry sauce, fish and chips that ooze fresh appeal, and meaty bangers and mash simultaneously fill the Anglophile and native Brit. Entertainment by […]

G&B Oyster Bar

G&B Oyster Bar features seafood favorites from around the country prepared by chef Steven Shockey. Though Coconuts and G&B have two distinct identities, the restaurants nestled next to each other have combined menus, despite that each has its own kitchen and concept. Coconuts offers more meat options and traditional offerings than G&B’s stylish fare. The […]
