Casa Del Mare - Fort Lauderdale

We always enjoyed this restaurant, but they are not open this week. Closed for good? Hopefully opening again. Thank you.

Our party of four visited Casa Del Mare on Saturday July 8, 2023. It was our 2nd visit after enjoying the food so much the first time.Our party enjoyed a starter of calamari which was enormous and enough for 4. Delicious.The four of us ordered a multitude of dishes including risotto (perfect), linguine and meatballs, black linguine and shrimp and the Branzino, which arrived in spectacular presentation and was equally enjoyed.Our server was charming, was attentive and kept our drinks filled and brought us dessert and coffee timely.Everything was perfect. Be aware if you visit that gratuities were added to a party of four which we did not see noted prior (it might have been posted but we did not see it) and we almost added an additional huge gratuity on top. We didn’t mind this practice but prefer to be made aware of it clearly or reminded when paying the check.

Food was delicious service was terrible. After taking our dinner order we didn't see our waiter again until 15 mins after we were all finished eating when we had to flag him down after watching him text in the corner for long periods of a time.The food runner brought 2 meals 20 mins before the other 2 meals but we saw no one to even complain to. When my meal arrived the food was at least very good, but they brought me the wrong meal! I couldn't even send it back because there was no one in the dining area.Since gratuity was automatically added I didn't even have an opportunity to adjust the top for terrible service. No wonder they don't care.Positives great view of the beach and food was good.Negatives probably the worst service i've ever had at a sit down restaurant.

We went for a Happy Hour. The food was good and our waitress, Francesca, was so nice. It was my brother in-law’s birthday and everyone was so hospitable. Next time we visit on vacation, we will surely stop here. Also, our triple daiquiris were strong and good!

Valentina is the best severe and the place is amazing regarding the rain they made sure you was safe and welcomed. I give it 4 out of 5Kid-friendliness: I can’t say much that really would explain because coming will say it all it’s worth it
