"We were so excited to book a reservation at a restaurant where it was advertised that Geoffery Zakarian was the chef because my son had actually competed as a contestant on one of the shows he judges. It started by a superb greeting by the hostess, but from there it either disappointed or was just pedestrian at best. We definitely had better meals during our time in Fort Lauderdale at lower prices. Once we were shown our table, they did not have enough menus available so we shared. My son's drink order was was wrong and it took 30 minutes from the time we sat down for them to deliver my drink from the bar. The food menu was just OK, but as noted above, we expected more complex offerings from Geoffrey not a heavy dose of pizza, burgers, and pasta that did not bring something new versus simpler and cheaper restaurants. The upside was we did find one gem my son's risotto was very good. However, the chicken look like it had been warmed up and just place on top rather than integrated into the dish. The tuna tartare was just really just cubed tuna over avocado, and while the snapper was good, it was just a nicely cooked fish with chopped vegetables on the side tossed with what seemed to be a bottled vinaigrette. We ordered the meatball as a starter, but it did not come out and was brought to the table after the fact. It did taste good, but again, wasn't anything different than we could get at any pizza place."
