Description

This see-and-be-seen eatery channels the appeal of the once-upon-a-time Fort Lauderdale strip. The place funnels energy via flamenco guitarists and pouty dancers, and one can glean a good pasta Bolognese from a somewhat staid menu. The wine list might be the best deal here: Brunellos, Amarones, and Super-Tuscans all hover around $50. On the light side, consider carpaccios; on the heavier end, try one of the mammoth frozen cocktails.
