    We had the pork pulled tacos, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower. Nothing was great, the sprouts had a good taste, so those were the best of the bunch. Overall everything was drenched in some sauce/butter. Can’t say I left loving anything. It has potential, appetizers are more than shareable, second think a full meal. They didn’t have Bacardi Rum … lol… who am I kidding I’ll drink any Rum. Haha. Seriously…potential is huge but for what I had, I’m not running back.

    Went for brunch, they didn’t have a brunch menu, and we got bottomless mimosas but the ones brought out to us kept tasting like watered down orange juice. There was also no dressing on the Caesar wrap. However, the wait staff was very nice and helped out whenever we called for them!

    Amazing brunch!!! I'm surprised this place wasn't packed. The ribeye and eggs were delicious, as was every other menu item ordered by our 7-member brunch party. Service by Will was great. We'll definitely be back to try other items on the menu.

    Great restaurant for social dinners, sharing lots of small plates (and not so small-the excellent Mac and cheese is a full sized portion). Everything was great-wings, bacon wrapped dates, meatballs w ricotta. Sunday is all day happy hour so we tried two of the included cocktails-yummy, light, a little kick of spice. The crowd is young and hip but not unwelcoming to a party in their 50s, like waist the very attentive and helpful server. The only thing bad to say is they took their chicken pot pie biscuit off the menu. Otherwise one of our faves

    There weren’t a lot of people serving and it did take them a while to get us our drinks and food but they were really nice. We did go during brunch and the food was a bit underwhelming but still good. It was for my birthday and it wasn’t acknowledged but I understand because it was busy and only a few people working. But we did feel rushed towards the end after we were done eating. I wanted another drink but the server just brought the bill (without even asking us if there was anything else we wanted). None of us asked for the bill either so it felt like we were being rushed out. My friend was going to order something from the lunch/dinner menu since the brunch wasn’t that great, but again, we didn’t really like how the server was trying to rush us. The drinks were great and the place was clean, but the bathrooms need to be better because there were no toilet paper and it looked like it wasn’t cleaned for a bit. I would give this place another shot and perhaps for a different occasion. I’m a food blogger and really wanted to give this a shot so I’m gonna come back and see how it goes.

    Ambience was not quite as nice as we would have hoped - more basic inside than the outside would suggest. However, most of the food was very tasty - cauliflower, bacon wrapped dates, pork tacos and burrata with peaches were all outstanding. Skip the side salad - mediocre at best so eat your veggies before you come. :)

    We did not like the fact that dogs are allowed in the restaurant. One patron had her dog on her lap at the bar. Service was okay. I think Nick was overloaded with tables. We will not be back.

    This was our first visit to Here & Now and we enjoyed it very much. We went on a Sunday night not knowing that they are out of a lot of items on their menu from the weekend crowd, but we managed to find a few things anyway. We look forward to trying them again during the week when they have everything on their menu to choose from. We did try the Char Caesar Salad and it was wonderful and definitely shareable. it was large. The Herb Marinated Wings were awesome they come baked not fried and are juicy not dry you can get either blue cheese dressing or ranch dressing to accompany them. They do also offer fried or grilled too. (we didn't try either of those style) Our last dish was an Eggplant Stack that was awesome definety worth a try. Staff were great and very friendly. there is only metered parking here but worth it!

    Based on reviews I had high hopes for this place. Came in for brunch today (Sunday) and there were only had 2 tables of people which was only slightly concerning. The server was super blunt and unfriendly. He just kept saying "oh we're out of that". Cool dude, just tell us the entire 86'd list and make things easy. He started with "well it's end of the week so we are out of stuff and the chef isn't here so some things we just can't make". We asked how their espresso martinis were made and he just deadpanned looked at the table and went, "uh vodka and espresso". Come on... we ordered drinks and decided we didn't want to order anything extensive, just apps and move on somewhere else. Server went to the bar and seemingly talked smack about our table of 4 ladies since everyone standing there was turned around staring at us. Fun! He gave up our table to a female server which ended up being super nice. What we did order, dates and peach burrata, were good. My tequila drink was awesome so some perks. Needless to say with an empty restaurant and crappy attitude, it makes this a non-fun vibe place that will take me a hot minute to try again.

    The service seemed slow but the restaurant didn't seem busy - maybe only 5 or 6 tables were seated. But maybe stuff was going on in behind the scenes. The service was ok but spotty.

    Food here was amazing! Found Here and Now thru a random search of restaurants near the hotel we were staying and glad I did! The menu was the eye catcher and the photo folks had posted on Yelp sealed the deal. The Brussel sprouts, truffle Mac and Cheese, and pork tacos were all worthy of a return trip to Here and Now the next time we are in Ft Lauderdale. Compliments to the Chef!

    The food was good (not great). But the experience was mediocre. The server was pleasant but they were out of items on the menu both food and wine. Only 2 of the 8 wines offered in white were left. We were a party of 5 and they also added a 21% tip so beware. Yeah most likely would not return.

    Wednesday night. Service was up and down. Mostly slow. Staffing issues from what we could see. Got our entrees before our salads Ordered tapas and full entrees and it just felt disjointed. Mojo chicken thighs had no flavor. Not sure how you can mess up chicken thighs with Mojo but it tasted like there was salt and pepper on them and that was it. Needed to marinate at least 24 hours which it was obvious they did not. Wine list severely lacking Some good dishes Including the brussels sprouts , the chicken wings and the eggplant stack Glad we allowed two hours before we went to the show. Otherwise we would’ve never made it

    I really wanted to like this place, we are local and always looking for a new spot to add to the rotation. I saw the rave reviews and now I realize they're mostly from out of towners staying at the nearby Hilton. The ambiance is super cute, strong first impression. Since it's tapas style we started off with 4 plates for 3 of us and would order more from there. They were down to one bartender so the food came before the drinks. We ordered the wedge, the grilled wings, the eggplant parm and the pulled pork tacos, a nice mix of things to get a flavor for the food. The wedge was super uninteresting, ingredients didn't seem fresh at all. The wings were okay, no seasoning at all. The pulled pork tacos were room temp and lacked flavor. The best dish was the eggplant stack and even that was just okay. We decided not to order anything else from there and call it a night and go get dessert elsewhere. I'd come back for drinks and snacks if someone wanted to go but definitely not a meal and wouldn't recommend it to anyone at this point. It's a great location, hope my experience was a weird one off but I doubt it.

    Cute place! Very quiet on a Wednesday night. The food was good, but it came out so fast that it was obvious that the bacon-wrapped dates were pre-made and then barely warmed up. The spinach/artichoke dip was delish! The muscles were ok, but the sauce is too thick for the dish. We ordered the bread pudding for dessert and it was a disappointment. Served cold and dry. I think is potential for this restaurant, but they need to up their game.
