Fort Lauderdale Restaurant Guide & Dining Reviews
Featured Review


My friend and I dined at the Art and Design Cafe on 11/3/09. Our server, Lynn, was excellent - very friendly and attentive. The place is a delight, the food could be better. We both had salmon and it was a little too done. The portions are not large, which is fine, but the sides could be bigger and better prepared. The dessert, Baked Alaska, was disappointing. The wine, however, was quite good. I fully intend to dine there a second time, as it is a charming place and I am hoping they work out the bugs (such as uneven hours, teeny tiny candles and no matches to light them with on the tables, a broken espresso machine......)![]()
