    Our second visit to Big Coty Tavern was for lunch whereas the first was for dinner. Both experiences were very good. There are better menu choices for dinner, but the food and service were great on both occasions. We are local and look forward to our next visit.

    Nothing special. Really touristy. Food was so so. Charcuterie tray was the best part of the meal. Hamburger looked better than it tasted. Service was fine. Atmosphere was very loud. Once and done.

    We enjoyed our meal here. We had a great table outside and server was very knowledgeable about the menu. He seemed to be handling a lot of tables but was good overall. We had the pretzel for an appetizer and then we had various meals from pizza to a seafood dish. We all liked everything. I would definitely recommend going.

    We had a wonderful meal and excellent service from our waiter! The noise level could have been lower, but it was evidence that t he patrons were all enjoying a Friday night!

    I’ve eaten here twice and both times the food has been outstanding!! Love sitting outside to see the views of Las Olas. Service was a little slow, but it was a Friday night! Plan on returning again!!
