Mind Your Manors

If your mother ever told you to "mind your manners" when you were younger, it might bring back some interesting memories. Maybe you recall getting chastised for eating too fast, chewing with your mouth open, or belching at the table. Certainly, all things your adult self would never dream of doing. You'll be reminded of these things when you arrive at Mind Your Manors, a friendly gastropub in the heart of downtown Wilton Manors. Not because the name is a play on the familiar expression, but rather because it will be tempting to inhale everything in site, and you could be guilty of wiping up the last of what's left on the plate with your fingers. Owner Bobby Del Campo, a former bartender at Fort Lauderdale's Ritz-Carlton, decided to take a full-blown leap into the industry by opening his own establishment, crafting a menu that delivers what he calls hand-held comfort food, paired with a decent-sized offering of craft beers, and wine. True to Del Campo's vision, the menu screams American comfort food, arranged into lists for appetizers, sandwiches, burgers, and salads. Each dish offers a different way to do things, like hummus made with black beans instead of garbanzo, and bruschetta with creative takes like smoked salmon, capers, and lemon feta dressing.Read our full review.
