This restaurant replaced one that had been gone for some time. The new owners did nothing to update it - it's the identical decor from years ago. We would have been OK with dated decor if the food was good. Of the four of us dining that night, two couldn't even eat their pasta it was so bad - "chalky", overdone, overly starchy. One person had no choice but to eat the pasta because it was all they ordered! My chicken marsala was fine. For the four of us we ordered two salads, 1 special fish dish, appetizer eggplant parm, pasta with tomato sauce, one bottle of Pelligrino, 1 Diet Coke and 1 glass of wine. The bill came to $180 plus tip!! I always like to see new restaurants succeed. I predict this one will be closed shortly!

The service was phenominal. A nice touch to have table ready with a ballooon for birthday and a Happy Birthday sign. The owner came by and spoke with us. The food was really good, but the outstanding service and teamwork put this place over the top.

Let me begin by saying the service we received was outstanding and our tip to the servers reflected our impression of their dedication and hard work. On the other hand, we were a bit disappointed with the food we were served. I had veal scaloppini with mushrooms. The portion was good but the veal was not pounded and was very chewy, not what was expected. My wife had the veal chop parmesan and spaghetti, which was at least tender and satisfying compared with my veal dish. For dessert we both had expresso and shared a Creme Brule which was somewhat bland in taste lacking a vanilla edge and the surface was under torched and not caramelized to the extent we usually expect with this dessert. This was our fifth return visit and it was the most disappointing one of the five. We have had a much higher level of satisfaction and good impression with the quality of the meals and food during our previous visits. Hopefully it was just an off day for the kitchen during our visit and we will give it another try in the near future. Once again, my compliments to the two servers who were very friendly, attentive and accommodating from start to finish of our meal.

The restaurant was not what we were expecting from a fine dining experience. Overpriced for a pasta dish that was made with entirely too much tomato paste. The salmon was great but everything else was just sub par. Will never go back. Sorry.

One of the best restaurants we've been to in awhile! The atmosphere was comfortable and accommodated our party of 8! The staff was beyond nice and welcoming! And the food- just wow!! Thank you for making my mom's birthday memorable!

I've dined here a few times previously. I came with my daughter and we were sat at 5:30 for a 5:45 reservation. We were having a mommy daughter date night before a show at the CS Center at 7:30. The food was not up to par as previously. We ordered simple, basic dishes that are not hard to make spectacular. Arancini, one of the app specials, lacked flavor and the quality was low. Ground beef was gritty. Caprese salad the tomatoes were not ripe and delicious and it happens to be tomato season. Lasagna was sitting in a pool of oil and the beef in the dish was also gritty. I would have ordered wine, but the list wasn't complimentary of their menu (admittedly, I'm particular about wine and well versed). Once our sparkling water was served, services began to lack. My daughter and I were there for over 1.5hrs and had to ask for the check at 7:10 from another server so we could leave and catch our show. Although our original server was nice, he never came back to check on us. I never leave bad reviews, but I also feel that hopefully this will help the restaurant right their wrongs going forward with their other patrons. Hopefully they will improve and continue to be a part of the local dining scene.

We made a dinner reservation for 4 people on Friday night. Table was ready when we arrived. We ordered the Octopus salad appetizer which was delicious. Unfortunately for the main course, out of 4 dishes, the 2 seafood risottos in white sauce and 1 seafood linguine in marinara sauce were very bland, the other dish which was a fish fillet (forgot the type) was good. The portions were a good size, enough calamari and large shrimp, well cooked, but lacked any flavor (I'm not talking about them being spicy, but just not having any broth flavor or even salt). The desserts Key Lime pie and a Creme Brule, were OK. The prices were quite reasonable for the area. The place is new and quite big for Coral Springs, nicely decorated and very welcoming. The staff is very friendly, professional and are always close by to help. Unfortunately the day we went, there was a large party between 12 and 15 people who had their own projector and screen for watching a hockey game, and they elevated the noise level tremendously, so everyone else needed to speak a lot louder in order to be heard by your own party at the table. This gave the place a sports bar feel rather than a nice sit down restaurant. There was very good live music in the background, but it was very hard to enjoy with the overall noise at the time (the band was behind the overly noisy table).

The four of us all enjoyed our meals and our server Elena was very pleasant and attentive. The owner Pedro was giving roses out to the women in honor of Mother's Day and is always very friendly with his guests!!

Our party of 6 totally enjoyed the entire experience. From the Caesar Salad, the chicken parmigiana and the Frutti Di Mare all were superb. The bread with the toppings tray were delicious. As for the desserts, key lime pie, cannolis and tiramisu were an over the top treat. In all we can't wait to return and take other friends to this find.

This place is a little gem! The service and food are outstanding. Everyone is extremely kind and helpful, and they were all checking in to make sure we were satisfied. The ambiance is quiet, and you can have a normal conversation without having to raise your voice to be heard. It's perfect for a romantic dinner. I went on a weekday but I'm looking forward to going again when they have live music. Strongly recommend it!

This is perhaps the best restaurant in Coral Springs. We come here from Boca Raton it is so good. The owner is wonderful and greets all his guests and aims to please. We will be back when next in town!

I went here a few times. First time was wonderful and the next few times it went downhill more and more. I kept giving it a chance but it only got worse. On Valentine's Day, many people actually walked out because they were waiting for over an hour for their food, and the owner kept coming to the table, making excuses. Our meals were free because we waited for so long. We were understanding and thought maybe they were understaffed. When we came back for my parents anniversary in April, there was barely anyone in the restaurant and still the wait was long. The food was mediocre (not amazing like the first time we went) and the prices were high for what we got. The quality just went down from when we went there six months prior. I will never ever go back to this restaurant. Even though the owner is nice, they have issues with their staff, and the food is not worth the amount you're paying for. Very sad because this place really has the potential to do great things, but when the waitress tells you that literally all the orders got mixed up in the kitchen and the chef doesn't know what to make. You wonder how well is this restaurant actually run?

I went here for dinner . First they said their open table was not working which was fine there was plenty of seats for dinner . We sat outside . The server didn't introduce himself or say hi , just what do you want ? It was strange but we tried to be positive ordered drinks and food . Then thirty minutes later no drink or food , stale bread arrived . Then a waitress comes out and says he forgot your order could you repeat it to me. Waited another fifteen minutes for at least the drink and nothing came . We told the hostess the service was horrible , can't imagine the food being any good. I can't comment on the food since we left due to 0/5 service- slow and incompetent

Four of us went after reading great reviews. It is was absolutely one of the worst dining experience possible. 1. Three appetizers, all cold, lifeless 2. Four drinks, the Martini's were warm and the beer was cold, after a 10 minute wait 3. The bread, it came after the appetizers by 20 minutes. 160 for this. We left in disgust. This is more of a 'Buffet at Golden Coral feel' than a restaurant feeling. The Reviews are obviously fake.

The four of us had a great time! The service was without fault and everyone enjoyed their entrees. My special likes are the chicken parm and the spaghetti and meatballs. How's this for a recommendation...we made another reservation for next week!
