Aruba Beach Cafe
1 E Commercial Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, Tedder,
The Bimini bread was fresh and yummy topped with their whipped sweet butter. My husband and I got the special, jerk spiced ribs with black beans and white rice. The ribs were spiced nicely but a little tough. The black beans and rice were a tad bland. The in-laws both got a variety of burger. They ordered them medium, but they came out rare. When my mother-in-law sent the burger back, a new one came back promptly, but the cheese was not melted. All in all, it was a disappointing dining experience. It was at best average. Perhaps their seafood dishes and alcoholic beverages are better.

Brooks Restaurant
500 S Federal Hwy, Deerfield Beach, Tedder,
service was very slow. The menu has changed to cater to steak lovers. The old menu was great and a greater variety of food selections.It wal not limited to just steak and fish.The escaragots were terrible unless you liked a lot of bread crumbs.The lobster was tough.I will not go back unless they go back to the old menu.

Charley's Crab
3000 Ne 32nd Ave, Fort Lauderdale, Tedder,
This sits on the intracoastal and affords a lovely view. The seafood is good - not great but good. The staff are friendly and efficient. As a resident of Fort Lauderdale I am surprised that there are not better seafood restaurants in town. However, this is among one of the best. Prices are high - but as another reviewer said, almost everything in this town is high.

Gianni's Italian Restaurant
1601 E Atlantic Blvd, Pompano Beach, Tedder,
I love Giannis! I don't eat Italian that much but this is the place I go whenever I get the craving. I believe that consistency is the key and this place has always left me happy. The salad that comes with the lunch is the best salad I've ever had. No lie. The pasta sauce is delicious and the portions are healthy. The best part is this great find is not pretentious or over-priced. The only downside is that it may get a little loud. If you are looking for a romantic dinner go somewhere else but if you are looking for great food and service at a good price definitely try Giannis.

Jaxson's Ice Cream Parlor Restauran
126 S Federal Hwy, Dania Beach, Tedder,
We have been loyal customers for over 35 years and we live in New York!!! We fly into Ft Lauderdale and go directly to Jaxson's, my wife LOVES the mocha chip with big pieces of chocolate and I crave the pistachio, the peach, and the black raspberry. The wait can be long, the setting is lowdown, but the Ice Cream is great and so is the food. Terrific burgers, fries, dogs, sandwiches. Prices are fair . . .but OHHHHHH THE ICE CREAM ! ! ! It is our first stop when we land and our last stop before we take off and she weighs 115 lbs - we don't eat ice cream at home.
