Returned to Le Bistro with friends. It was more crowded but same great menu. Next was Trina at the Atlantic Resort and Spa. Fab Greek avgolomeno lemon chicken soup and salad with beets started the evening. The ambience is modern yet warm. You can sit inside or outside across from the beach. The snapper piccata was delish, the Moroccan chicken tajine was tasty and the gnocchi was my favorite. The chef brought out a lamb flatbread which made us want to return just for that. The ending was mango sorbet in a tasy tuile flower--- the perfect dessert. The cheesecake was light too. Fish on 17th Street, on Sunday was another winner with lobster bisque and caesar salad in a ring of cucumber and some calamari. The jumbo shrimp in curry was spicy and the ribeye was smothered in onion confit and brie on top. The trio of sorbets chocolate, lemon and trio of mini cakes included key lime, chocolate layer and lemon. And then it was a special evening with Polynesian Revue at the long time favorite Mai Kai. Make sure to ask for the special Dine Out lauderdale menu. We enjoyed the goat cheese salad, glazed roasted duck and key lime pie. With lush gardens, energetic show complete with hula and fire dance and speciality drinks unlike anything you've seen before, the Mai Kai is the perfect place for a celebratory night out.
I did not make it to cafe Maxx or hi life yet but the feedback from friends was great. The Hi Life chess cake is a secret recipe.
Get dining!

We ate at Cafe Maxx a couple of weeks ago - very disappointing. the shrimp cocktail,grilled duck & pecan crusted snapper were quite good but the steak tartare was so-so, the mozarella & grilled portabella caprese salad was awful - no portabella mushroom and the tomatoes were cold from refrigeration (a real no-no in my book). Though the petit filet was good the accompanying vegetables were neither well presented nor tasty, very over-cooked. The chocolate souffle cake was good but the creme brulee spoons were mediocre. The final disappointment was the service which was very stiff and inattentive. Tonight we will try Coco Asian Bistro, hopefully with much better luck!
