Best Restaurants for Groups in Oakland Park

It was a a cool evening to dine outdoors but with the portable gas fire torches, my wife and I were comfortable. We were only looking for a light bite so my wife ordered the edamame and a California roll. I ordered Miso soup and a sampling of nigiri. The edamame was fresh with a light snap when biting and perfectly, lightly salted. The Miso broth was hot and hearty. Perfect on this cool Florida night. She told me she loved her California roll and I thought my nigiri was delicious. Dock fresh with brilliant colors. I chose the tuna, yellowtail and golden eye snapper. I'd order the same thing again in a heartbeat, but there were so many other items I'd like to try next time. She ordered a glass of champaign (by the glass) and didn't particularly care for it. Too dry she said. I chose a drink that is their spin on an old fashioned. (I forget the name) but it had ginger in it and it was delicious. Small side note, the brand of still water they serve is Mountain Valley. You don't see this brand very often but it was fantastic. So refreshing and crisp mouthfeel. I LOVE Acgua Panna and keep it at home but I may switch it up and try this brand of spring water if I ever see it in a store or online. We had a great experience at Takato and look forward to our next time here.

Amazing food and service! Our food came out so quickly and every dish was absolutely delicious. We had the salmon fillet crudos and the Neo Tokyo roll as well as some nigiri and it was some of the freshest and butteriest fish I’ve ever tried. Finished it off with a chocolate chip blondies and it was the perfect meal! Definitely a great meal along the hotel strip!

The service was fantastic! The margaritas are well worth it as well as the lobster quesadilla. I highly recommend ordering any of the guacamole. We will return.

Absolutely loved everything about our dinner at YOLO. The service, the food, the atmosphere were outstanding. We are already planning our next visit!

Everything was great as usual. Our waitress, Simona was wonderful and Nick, who served us in the past, helped out too. Louie Bossi's is a staple of Fort Lauderdale and should not be missed. Even the basic things are gamechangers. Do not miss their garlic bread served with ricotta and get the meatballs too so you can add a little sauce to the bread & ricotta. Superb!
