RA Sushi Bar Restaurant

This spot is supposed to be known for its sushi, but food seems to take a backseat once the cocktails are served. What? You’ve never tried a lemony-raspberry Blushing Geisha ($20)? Before you get schnockered tasting all the inventive spirits, start out with the lobster spring rolls (yeah, that orange stuff inside is mango, mixed […]

Rainbo Cafe

The room, with its plush old banquettes, is comfy and cool in coffee-shop fashion. Service is cheerful, the menu exactly as you expect: Hamburgers, grilled cheese sandwiches, club sandwiches, BLTs, chef salads — need we continue? This is formulaic diner food, meaning decent, filling, relatively cheap, and thoroughly satisfying when the mood strikes. We particularly […]

Royal Treatz

These days, you’d better be pretty impressive to earn a nod as a cupcake shop. After all, they’re a dime a dozen. But at Royal Treatz, they’re absolutely worth the attention. In addition to incredibly creative (and mouthwatering) cupcake creations, they also make chocolates, cookies, candies, pops and specialty cakes and froyo. Basically, a one-stop […]

Runas Peruvian Cuisine

Peruvian cuisine – marked by its fusion of various global cuisines, those sweet yellow chili peppers, giant kernels of maize, and fresh seafood – has grown exponentially in popularity. No matter what your tastes, once you get over the unfamiliar-sounding names and each dish’s seemingly incongruent pairings, you’ll find that the dishes of Peru offer […]

Sage Bagel & Appetizer Shop

A traditional Jewish deli without any of the unnecessary schmaltz, this Hallandale bagel shop has been a neighborhood institution since the 1970s. Hand-cut lox, homemade matzo ball soup, and fist-sized piles of shaved brisket, pastrami, and corned beef piled high in overstuffed sandwiches would make any bubbe proud, while a special section of the menu […]

Sage Bistro and Oyster Bar

You really have to hand it to chef Laurent Tasic. His Sage Bistro and Oyster bar juggles two completely different concepts and nails them both: a high-end raw bar, with its $52 shellfish tower and a $28 “trio” of jumbo pink Gulf shrimp, oysters, and crab meat on the one hand; and on the other, […]

Sara’s

A kosher and vegan heaven, Sara’s is home of some downright satisfying, cruelty-free pizzas, subs, burgers, and sandwiches, including a sauerkraut-laden Reuben with faux-corned beef good enough to turn heads at any Jewish deli. It also offers hummus and falafel, stuffed cabbage, and mushroom-barley soup that all have two things in common: they’re meat-free, and […]

Sardelli’s

Capsule description: Some might call Sardelli’s an expensive, ornate Italian steakhouse. Others might call it a welcoming, Italian family place that’s great for special dinners with friends and family. Both would be right. This is the latest project from the Sardelli family, who own Fulvio’s 1900 and have been feeding South Floridians for decades. Behind […]

SAS Martini Lounge

Formerly known as the Sauer Apple Saloon, the SAS Martini Lounge is everything but a bar that can be found in an old Western movie. The bar’s recent face-lift is that of a upscale club meets trendy beach hangout, minus the hassle of VIPs and velvet ropes. The dimly lit lounge is illuminated by paper […]

Scarlett’s Cabaret

A favorite among everyone from frat boys to business types, Scarlett’s caters to the horny masses from all over South Florida. Coming in at an expansive 12,000 square feet, the strip club houses four stages, three bars, five themed VIP rooms, and 20 private dance rooms. Whether you’re on a tight budget or have plenty […]

Seminole Classic Casino Hollywood

There aren’t a lot of ways to get rich quick these days. Your lotto chances are pretty slim, and people just aren’t gullible enough to shell out cash for pet rocks anymore. But there’s always gambling. And at Seminole Casino of Hollywood, you can try for some insta-cash, plus booze it up, stuff your face […]

Shin Ju Japanese Buffet

Let’s put this out here right away: Shinju is not trying to break records for the most amazing Asian food on the planet. But for about $10 at lunch and less than $20 for dinner, diners can get their fill of tasty sushi, along with items from the hibachi and raw bar, including oysters and […]
