    The staff was amazing they were very attentive to all needs and knew the answers to all the questions from the hostess to bartender and waiters. Everything was super fast except the table wait, came 30 minutes early and didn’t get sat for 50 minutes also a lot of issues with valet. If they had a bigger space I’m sure everything would be perfect. Highly recommend! Food was outstanding with huge portions!

    Food was delicious but the staff was just very pushy. We were rushed in and out. Are so quickly because they were just trying to move tables. Didn’t like that at all.

    Waiter was good, food was good, but felt very rushed. Have to guarantee a reservation with a credit card (no problem), but instead of opening on time they made everyone stand in the parking lot after opening time. Girl at the Posen just stared at us through the window. Once they opened no “sorry for the wait” just one word RESERVATION? Seemed very entitled, like customer should feel blessed to be allowed in. Maybe that’s the vibe they’re looking for. Not my first time to eat there, other times were a little more friendly and less pushy.

    Our Favorite place to eat in Ft Lauderdale. We make it a point every time we are in town! We were able to sit at the bar and Adam is the best! So attentive and friendly. Paul had the lobster and rice special (same sauce as the calamari) he said it was the best app he had ever had in his life. Should add to the menu!!! Thank you as always Steve and Marsha Denise

    Don't be more than 15 min late or they will give you issues. We called to advise we were stuck in traffic due to an accident on i95 but GPS was estimating our arrival within the 15 min grace period and unfortunately traffic was a killer and we arrived 17 min after reservation and they almost turned us away. The hostess told us we had an hour to eat if she sat us or we could wait for an opening at the bar. We had plans after dinner elsewhere so we weren't planning to linger at the restaurant, we just wanted our anniversary dinner. They finally sat us and all went well. Our server did not rush us, the food was amazing! We had a great time once we passed the hostess stand.

    Everything was excellent until we got the check. We still had full drinks and were rushed to pay the tab and leave the table. This has happened every time we have gone to Cafe Martorano. I was afraid to get up and use the ladies room because I knew my glass of wine would be cleared from the table. Not a good feeling. Buzz kill.

    Amazing dinner but food came out too fast and we had half the meal before our drink was served and then at the end of dinner we’re asked to move to the bar after only being at the table for an hour.
