Mojo

I had been looking forward to dining at Mojo since it received a nice review in the Sun-Sentinel and one of my colleagues who frequents the restaurant always raves about it. My neighbor had purchased the Groupon for the prix fixe menu and even paid extra for Saturday night dining.\r \r Unfortunately, we were turned off as soon as we walked in the door when the hostess collected our Groupon certificate and the proceeded to lead us to the worst table in the restaurant. We politely asked to be moved and she obliged. Within one minute the general manager approached our table and told us that we would have to move back to the other table. When we explained why it wasn't desirable he agreed to let us move to a booth which was actually the best option.\r \r The rest of the experience seemed to go downhill from here. Our initial impression that groupon certificate holders are treated like second class citizens stayed with us from start to finish. We were served Chardonnay in place of Sauvignon Blanc but didn't bother pointing it out. Our waiter although cordial didn't seem interested in providing great service. He'd slam food in front of us and would rush off before we could say anything. The food was disappointing. The chicken was dry, the grilled salmon was excessively charred and the key lime cheesecake was carelessly presented with no garnish or trace of macadamia nuts. The only positives were the creme brûlée (mispelled on the menu) and the restaurant decor.\r \r I wish I could believe that this was just a bad night and be open to giving Mojo a second chance. Unfortunately, with so many other dining options available such as consistently excellent 3030 Ocean I think once was enough. more

As previous posters put it "a hidden gem" Used a Groupon voucher and couldn't have been happier. Food was excellent, even prepared a dish that wasn't on the menu for three of us. The Mojo house salad was delicious along with their desserts, got to have the Key Lime pie.... We will be going back ! Thanks for the great meal and service........ more

Owners Anthony and Dominic have created a wonderful atmosphere and a terrific place for drinks, apps and dinner. Their attention to detail has allowed for people at every level of interest to have a wonderful experience. The vibe and decorations are a welcome oasis for drinks. The bar bite menu is inventive, original and affordable. The Happy Hour specials are wonderful. Superb snacks at approacable prices. The menu is creative and offers specials at a host of cost levels. Let's ignore comments about coupons and nasty comnments about money. The bottom line is the staff is approachable. The food is superb, and the atmosphere is great. If the only reason someone is dining is because of a coupon, they may be better off staying home. Go, enjoy-you'll be glad that you did. more

I visited this restaurant with a Travelzoo voucher, they only honor the value of the voucher but gave us a superb service. The food is well prepared and different from the regular restaurants, the chef has unique combinations of spices that make every plate exquisite. We have gone back several more times after we discover it. more

One of the very best in the area, and their burata is amazing!! The service is also terrific and they have great weekday wines specials... Great for out of town visitors. more

Unbelievably good!! We are from NY and are used too many great restaurant choices. This ranks up there with the best of them! The service was impeccable and the food was amazing. We had the warm goat cheese salad and a couple of other apps. Them we split the stuffed pork chop as an entree. You HAVE to try the pork chop it was the best we have ever had, hands down. Can't wait to return to this little gem! more

Had a wonderful date night with my girlfriend. The cocktails, food and ambiance were all a delight to the senses. The staff were friendly, accomodating and efficient, the space was comfortable.\r \r To all those reviewers who wrote negative reviews because of coupons, etc. All I can say is, this is NOT a place for cheap eats. Quality comes at a price. If you want bargains, try Walmart. more

Loved the ambiance! Clean, Key West Style with great lighting and warmth. Duck breast was perfect! I'll be returning for the best espresso martini I've ever had...and served by a friendly, engaging bar master. Anthony is a doll and very welcoming. Dominick rocks as a chef and artist! more

This company signs up for coupon websites and then doesn't honor them. They get rude and indignant and tell you they are going to call the police on your if you don't be quiet. DO NOT EAT HERE! more

Terrible, You could not pay for my Diner for me to go there. \r Told the waiter I had a coupon, they claim it was not a problem , till the bill came . they would not honor it. As far as Im concern, I would not take my dog to Mojo. more

worse ever dont go. more

Just takes a little effort to find the place.\r Hidden in plain site.\r Right on US 1 just a little north of Fort Lauderdale downtown.\r Great interior designs and friendly staff.\r The staff is friendly a helpful when ordering.\r \r Hard to find but well worth it. more

This is definitely one of Fort Lauderdale's best. I have been there three times and all of the food I had was done to perfection and our service was top rate, friendly and unpretencious. The menu is varied and has some interesting sauces, particularly with the duck breast. We also enjoyed the unique clean, disctinct interior design and though I am not a fan of abstract, the art on the walls gives me every reason to have a change of heart with regards to my opinions about abstract art. It tends to be somewhat on the upper scale of the price index, but for what you get, worth it. more

What an amazing restaurant, a very eclectic menu, great food, good music and the decor is a sight you have to see. And did I mention the service was very good? more

Happened on Mojo by accident. Service was a tad over-eager...no complaints, we were well looked-after; I'm sure it will mellow down as word gets out about this neat place. Great design (love the crisp white!); creative food and drinks menu. Mojo gimlet was sooo tasty, I had to have two to be sure! Waffle fries with blue cheese and bacon super tasty and a nice portion size. Shrimp and crab wontons just OK -- try one of the other interesting apps, instead. more
