Reviews:

“Attractively served, surprisingly good food. Latin and Caribbean touches mixed together and beautiful burgundy and green décor add to the ‘fine dining with flair’ at this unexpected eatery in Plantation”
Zagat

The Land & Sea, an imaginative take on an old surf-and-turf standby with the beef tenderloin gussied up in a port wine glaze and the lobster tail in a lemony butter lobster tail flavored with a hint of vanilla. Vanilla? We were thinking the same thing, but somehow it works – and quite nicely at that.”
The Miami Herald

“When it comes to fine dining in West Broward, your best bet is on of the upscale chains. Add to that select club of artists, Adrian Deacon of the Renaissance Hotel’s Bin 595 in Plantation.”
The Miami Herald

“The food, an eclectic mix of Asian and Caribbean elements was a happy surprise. The wine list, extensive with about 150 bottles from mostly California and Australia, offered many recognizable and commendable labels at reasonable prices.”
The Miami Herald

“The warm and tasteful restaurant, where lime-green chairs, burgundy couches, high back booths that seat six, and extravagant columns and brightly colored lighting fixtures form the scene. The menu is just as imaginative. Alaskan halibut crusted with ginger, basil, and anise; prawns glazed with a sweet Thai sauce; and filet mignon served with a plantain and bonita hash are among the appetizing entrees. 150 –bottle wine list completes the experience.”
