Market 17 Restuarant in Fort Lauderdale

Anyone eaten here recently?

 

They seem new yet feature local/organic choices. Hoping to try it out night before our cruise (a Fri night).

I've been there twice. The food is great! I love the duck confit springrolls!

Reservations are strongly suggested as it gets very busy. They have indoor and outdoor dining and dining in the dark (blind tasting menu only in the dark room).

Might be worth a try, even though expensive and not Zagat-rated. The menu is suspicious. It hints, but doesn't really say, that the food is sourced locally. Again hints, but doesn't really say, that anything they serve is organic.

Just checked the Sun Sentinel. They gave it a good review in late January.

The owners have said in a public interview that they didn't want to be thought of as a "health food restaurant", so while local and organic is important to them they may downplay the word organic to some degree.

Thanks! Can't wait to check it out pre-cruise.
