As a South Florida native for over 40 years, these are some of my favorites.

This cafe is a great place to work, eat and have a nice time.
The Bread & The Cup Café | Las Olas
Allow your mind to be stimulated with a beautiful scenery and amazing food. Ask for Monty as your server.
Mastro's Ocean Club
The lobster morsels is a must have. It’s deep fried and served with a mustard sauce. Chef’s kiss. Happy Hour is always a great way to try out some of the favorites at an affordable price.
Chops Lobster Bar
The corned beef hash breakfast is my favorite. Sweet and savory. If weather permits I would suggest sitting outside. The Florida sunshine is amazing.
Hatch
This location is the only location in the area that still serves the jumbo fried shrimp. It’s a must try. I like to add the chopped salad to the mix. It’s enough for two.
Home - J. Alexander's
On Tuesday they do a tomahawk dinner for two. I would highly recommend. This meal could easily feed four.
Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar
Luka’s is known for their coffee but I love the steak. The steak is seasoned to perfection and cooked with love. It’s a must try if you ever visit.
Luka Restaurant and Coffee - Plantation
Even though there are two locations I prefer the Miami location. Sundays is local favorite. It’s known for the best soul food in South Florida. Not luxurious but delicious.
Sunday's Eatery
This South Florida staple is definitely not luxury but it’s a classic. It’s a good choice if you are looking for fresh seafood that will be fried to perfection upon ordering.
Pleasure of the Sea
Boca Town Center is the best mall to visit if you are looking for the more high end stores. Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s and Saks are some of the anchoring stores in the mall. After visiting the mall try Happy Hour at Chops Lobster Bar.
Town Center at Boca Raton
Jay’s Steakhouse was a former church. The building and stain glass windows are beautiful. Jay’s does the same tomahawk special as Flemings at the same price. I believe that both places are great. However, the ambiance is very different. Jay’s is very...
Jay's
This place is amazing. The food is fresh and always delicious. The wraps are enormous. I’m a big back and I still share. The ginger and pineapple juice is yummy as well. A must try.
Adam & Joe's Eatery & Catering
The staff is so friendly and helpful at the brand new location in Davie, Fl. The scents are beautifully crafted. Everyone needs a signature scent created just for their home.
Luxury Fragrance and Scent Diffusers
This is a hidden gem. The owner is super nice and the bartenders are always so friendly. A special tip is to purchase the Groupon for the sweet and savory board. It’s always a hit. Happy hour is always good as well.
Rebel Wine Bar
Beautiful scenery. Sits directly on the intercostal of Fort Lauderdale. They are open for lunch starting at 12 noon. The food, the service and atmosphere is amazing.
Fort Lauderdale - Ocean Prime Restaurant
If you are looking for a young hot spot…. This is for you. Sunday brunch is $25 unlimited food and mimosas.
Velvet Lounge & Cafe
The service is exceptional. A great space to work. Many people were there with their laptops.
Un Attimo Specialty Coffee
Wine O’clock is their rendition of happy hour. The food was delicious. We had the tempura shrimp which was served with a creamy slaw salad. Delicious. The wine flight had my cousin leaning.
