Tired of chicken? Savor a slice, or two, of picanha. And grab a rib while you're at it. And so it goes at the new Fuegovivo Churrascaria, a Brazilian steakhouse in Sunrise. Rodizio-style steakhouses have become so popular, even non-Brazilians know the drill by now. Servers dressed gaucho-style, with pantaloons tucked into sturdy black boots, circulate through the room toting swords piercing juicy slabs of meat cooked over an open fire. http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/614165.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/614165.html Thu, 24 Jul 2008 03:01 EDT Q. I have friends who will be coming to visit and they've asked me for a suggestion for a really good Indian restaurant. One of them is a vegetarian. Any suggestions, especially in West Broward? http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/607339.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/607339.html Fri, 18 Jul 2008 03:01 EDT For nearly 20 years, Ed and Kathy D'Alesio have been going 'just around the corner' to their fave restaurant, Antonio's Pizza-Rant in Shenandoah Square in Davie. The couple has been such a fixture at the place that 'very friendly' co-owner Anthony Silvestro Jr. has named D'Alesio's favorite thin and crispy pizza 'Ed's Pizza.' Kathy's favorite is the chicken Francese. 'Another favorite is the shrimp scampi, and the eggplant Parmigiana (well done) is great as are all the... http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/606021.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/606021.html Thu, 17 Jul 2008 03:01 EDT Tired of the same old chains that dominate West Broward strip shopping centers, we went on a hunt for new and creative independents. Even in today's tough economy, we found several restaurants trying to carve out niches in the marketplace. http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/598552.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/598552.html Thu, 10 Jul 2008 03:01 EDT Hotel restaurants? We usually dismiss them as boring and predictable. But with a tough economy and the high cost of running a restaurant, more talented toques are cooking in hotel settings. http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/598533.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/598533.html Thu, 10 Jul 2008 03:01 EDT Q: I want to take my daughter, who's 14, and a few friends out for dinner for her birthday. They eat pretty much anything, but I want something nicer than a hot dog or hamburger joint. http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/590734.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/590734.html Thu, 03 Jul 2008 03:01 EDT We're lazily sipping mango mojitos, dreamily watching sleek white yachts glide by under the moonlight. We feel like we're on vacation, but only the tourists are paying big bucks for this view. It's just another night at Pelican Landing, a little restaurant and bar management calls ``Fort Lauderdale's best-kept secret.'' http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/583629.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/583629.html Fri, 27 Jun 2008 03:01 EDT When Evelyn Kraut is looking for a good, 'tasty' meal and a good value, she heads to Hometown Buffet in Hallandale Beach. It may not be fancy, says Kraut, at left with chief chef Delsio Castello and friend Anita Kippelman, but 'the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, the food is fresh and the menu is large, varied and inviting' -- plus it's 'inexpensive.' Kraut doesn't mind having to stand in the buffet line because 'whether here for lunch or dinner,' she's `never disappointed.' http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/582368.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/582368.html Thu, 26 Jun 2008 03:01 EDT It's The Shops at Pembroke Gardens, but you could almost as easily call it The Restaurants at Pembroke Gardens. Seven of them (with more to come) play a starring role at the new, upscale shopping center near Interstate 75. http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/582379.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/582379.html Thu, 26 Jun 2008 03:01 EDT Southwest Broward residents had been traveling 45 to 60 minutes for upscale shopping and dining, according to the real estate research done for Shops at Pembroke Gardens. No wonder locals are packing the array of new restaurants there. http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/575635.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/575635.html Fri, 20 Jun 2008 03:01 EDT Yolanda Duarte really is crazy about I Love Calle Ocho & Shop -- she'd eat there every day if she could. 'This is a very small restaurant with a unique menu,' says Duarte. 'I actually get cravings for certain things they have on the menu: the best soups ever, made fresh every day in big pots, like the cream of red bean soup (my favorite), cream of malanga, lentil soup. Fridays they have a seafood soup. They are all good.'' http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/574465.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/574465.html Thu, 19 Jun 2008 03:01 EDT The house music is thumping. Cosmos are flowing. Beautiful people are mingling at a sleek, icy-blue bar, standing on tile floors inscribed with quotes from explorer Marco Polo. It's a typical Saturday night at China Grill -- in Fort Lauderdale, the latest destination in the hip restaurant dynasty. http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/566187.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/566187.html Thu, 12 Jun 2008 03:01 EDT While plenty of fish are caught off our shores, it can be challenging to find a good, moderately priced place to enjoy the catch of the day. Here are three restaurants that fit the bill. http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/557969.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/557969.html Thu, 05 Jun 2008 03:01 EDT Dwyane Wade is once again a rookie -- this time, in the restaurant business. We love Wade on the court, but his new sports grill is far from a slam dunk. While the place may be a fun spot to watch the game and chow down on wings or ribs, the food, for the most part, is as uninspiring as the Miami Heat's past two seasons. http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/549419.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/549419.html Thu, 29 May 2008 03:01 EDT Judging from the crowds packing Brio Tuscan Grille every night, Southwest Broward residents must be starved for a more upscale restaurant in the area. Or maybe they're just starved. On a Tuesday night, folks without reservations were told there was a 30- to 40-minute wait. On a Friday or Saturday evening, the wait can stretch to 2 ½ hours. http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/541417.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/541417.html Thu, 22 May 2008 03:01 EDT ''Welcome to my home,'' says Jimmy Tsiakanikas, greeting customers at Greek Express, a small nook hidden amid the T-shirt shops, bars and fast-food joints on Fort Lauderdale beach. Despite the touristy setting, charming Tsiakanikas and co-owner Greg Kevorkian manage to make everyone feel welcome. ''I'm a real Greek, what can I say?'' jokes Tsiakanikas. ``I live for people.'' http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/532605.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/532605.html Thu, 15 May 2008 03:01 EDT Nothing says summer more than some finger-lickin' good barbecue. With Memorial Day right around the corner, we checked out some options for those who would rather not sweat over hot coals. http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/532606.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/532606.html Thu, 15 May 2008 03:01 EDT Q: I'm looking for a local, old Florida-style seafood restaurant in Broward to take some friends visiting from Cleveland. Nothing fancy. Can you help? http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/524291.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/524291.html Thu, 08 May 2008 03:01 EDT The third time's the charm, the saying goes. But the folks behind Riley McDermott's have left little to luck at their swank Las Olas steak and seafood restaurant. Following Red Coral and then Zucca in the Bank of America Building, McDermott's has been the hottest reservation in Fort Lauderdale since opening in January. http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/524290.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1003/story/524290.html Thu, 08 May 2008 03:01 EDT Q: My boyfriend's birthday is coming up and I'm looking for a fun restaurant in Fort Lauderdale that isn't too expensive. He eats anything!
