Suggestions for Great Restaurants in Hollywood, FL or Ft. Lauderdale...

[I love my cat Licky]

I prefer steak over seafood, but I am open to both.

 

Can anyone suggest a great place to eat? :confused:

 

I will have my car, so transportation is not a problem.

 

Thanks everyone!

Also take this to the Florida departures sub board and do a search...there are a number of threads on places to eat in Ft Lauderdale--upscale, to cheapo, gourmet ot fast food. Look for threads with Blue Heron and RoyalCruiser posts in them as they have a good sense of the area.

Dough Boys is really close just across SE 17th St. but I think you order at the counter and then sit down. The pizza is very good but I haven't had anything else there. Bravo Italiano is much nicer, still casual but a real sit-down restaurant, about 6 blocks east across SE 17th St in The Quay.

Thanks! I am a vegetarian and generally just get pizza when I go out. Hubby eats everything.

I know, I'm a broken record on this, but a great restaurant in Ft. Lauderdale is Aruba. Right on the beach, relaxed and casual with a great menu and excellent cocktails.

 

Another fun thing to do is to grab a couple of subs from LaSpada and have a picnic on the beach.

 

If you're hankering for a Pittsburgh fix, then head down A1A south and check out Primanti Brothers, not exactly like the original, but still serving the greatest sandwich ever and a cold Iron City.

Just as an alternative...There is a Moe's in the Harbor Shops near the hotel and they have a great vegetarian beans and rice burrito (the Art Vandolay) with all the chips and salsa you can eat. Taza also has some vegetarian options as it is Meditteranean (think hummus, stuffed grape leaves and veggie kabob).

Has anyone been to Rivals in Hollywood? Staying at the Westin Diplomat, saw that Rivals is close. Just wondered if the food is good. Thanks in advance! :)

Coco Asian in the Harbor Shops has some of the best Asian I've ever eaten and I'm a lacto-ovo vegetarian.

 

I also love Bistro Mezzaluna, Aruba, Charleys Crab, China Grill, Cafe Martorano, and Big City Tavern.

We went and had drinks, but the service was so awful that we left before ordering food.
