Melting Pot -Food CA (Near Pensacola)

Meggie lovely elevated dining experience. we came for a bachelorette party and the owners went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time! service was great and extremely attentive. we appreciate all the little details that were put into the restaurant such as all the amenities in the bathroom. As for the food, the pastas were all hand made and freshly cooked. the flavors were excellent and they had free bread!! we could not have asked for a better experience!! thank you for an amazing time.

Andrés Fiore We went to Table 56 for dinner and honestly, everything about the experience felt just right. The service was amazing — super attentive, friendly, and professional without being over the top. The place itself has a simple but elegant vibe; it’s relaxed, classy, and you can tell they care about keeping a nice atmosphere. I actually liked that they don’t allow overly revealing outfits — it keeps the place refined and comfortable for everyone. The food was next-level. My girlfriend had fish and I went for the chicken milanese — both were delicious. I ordered an Old Fashioned, and it was one of the best I’ve had in a long time: perfectly balanced and smooth. But the real star of the night was the lobster mac and cheese — creamy, rich, and absolutely incredible. If you go, don’t skip it. It’s the kind of restaurant that makes you want to come back — elegant but unpretentious, great service, and food that genuinely makes you happy. Table 56 has its own charm, and we left already planning our next visit

Laurie MacDonald The best food in Fort Lauderdale, bar none. We have been going here for years and bringing guests. They are always amazed. Owner Joe Esposito and his staff, especially Aldo, are amazing. Clams Navarro, amazing salad, Snapper, grouper, soft shell crabs Crab bisque even lamb shank and rabbit. All fantastic. All sorts of different fish dishes and veal with a Spanish flair. Do not miss Cafe Seville. I guarantee you will return over and over again.

Pamela Thomas This inventive Italian restaurant is a beloved Miami Beach institution, and though the menu is smallish, there are always delightful surprises. This year, it gave us some new insight into lemon preserves. We earlier had loved the flavor of a pasta entree special with, surprising to us, lemon preserves. It wasnt on the specials menu this week, but we shared a salad which also had lemon preserves and was wonderfully flavorful (its a good size, so sharing is fine). My husband ordered a specials entree with sausage and a type of rabe and tiny gnocchi which was bright and veggie-fresh (not bitter at all, as rabe can be) that we both really enjoyed. I had the polenta with mushrooms starter as an entree, which was so beautifully rich and creamy it filled me up and I had to take some of it home (and it was great the next day too). That said, know that this restaurant can be pretty loud. When we arrived at 7, it was full and the cacophony just from customers talking, dishes clanging and normal hustle and bustle was noticeable. At a table for two, we had to speak up significantly to talk to each other. The music was not loud, but so many speakers were hard to avoid. For easier conversing, Id advise trying the very back of the terrace or coming at opening.

Tanja Ilic My boyfriend and I had a blast! Amazing food, beautiful atmosphere and great service! Looking forward to visiting again.

elizabeth roberts We went to the Saltwater Grill for the 1920s NYE party. We had a fantastic server Chris, who did a great job for the whole night. We loved the food and the atmosphere. We liked the music, but were very surprised there was no 1920s dance music played. I actually learned some dances and was excited to do them and so were some of the other ladies at our table. We watched everyone at our table (8 people) leave early around 10 p.m. and another large table (10 people) leave around 11 p.m. each time I asked why they were leaving and they said they were going to another bar for better music. We also left just after midnight, because of the choice of music, but at least I was able to request and get a couple of rock and roll songs played before we left. If they played better music these people would have probably stayed and I definitely would have stayed till closing, I love to dance. Otherwise, kudos to the staff for a job well done!!
