Reviews for Marti's New River Bistro in Fort Lauderdale, FL
This was my first time at Marti’s. My friend and I were seeing a show and decided to stay close to the theater so we could... enjoy good food, the river, and catch up. Our server was wonderful. She was attentive and always had a smile. The drink from thebar was good. The menu is set for the night and offered unique choices of everything from the appetizers to dessert. Theappetizer was good, a fried kimchi flavored rice ball. The people at the table next to us said the shrimp Bloody Mary wasuneventful. Flat. Bland. The biggest disappointment was the main course, which was to be butternut squash, farro and risotto. Mydish did not have any butternut squash, only a chunk of a hollowed our skins filled with farro. The farro/risotto was dry andflavorless. Risotto is creamy, no? I tried to scrape out squash from the skin, but it was hard-not cooked. $70 for one personis a lot of money to be this disappointed. We won’t be going back. Read more
Restaurant was nice and with a great view. Food was very good. Loved the presentation. Portions were quite small but, I didn't... mind as I prefer smaller dinner. Would come back if the menu is different as they have a fixed menu. Read more
Despicable place. I reserved a window seat for 6 p.m., but when I arrived I was told that I couldn't sit at the window. My... appetizers were mixed up and the manager sucked. Seeing that my daughter and I were the only African American diners, I feltthat this restaurant only catered to the white elitist. Read more
This restaurant is beautifully set & very picturesque with the lawn & river view out the window. That's where everything else... stopped Don't dine here unless you like food prepared by a chef that probably took a course in 'micro wave' cooking and receiveda C- grade. I ordered 1/2 chicken glazed with peach sauce. It came out in less than 15 minutes. Proof it was micro-waved. It wastough, tasteless & grainy. I considered the trout but it was prepared with strips of bacon. So a healthy option was full ofbacon grease. I mentioned it to the waiter & he ignored my comment. What a disappointment to such a beautify set & convenientlocation. Read more
My husband, daughter and i were heading to Broward Performing Arts to see The Phantom of the Opera so we stopped in to Marti's... for a bite and it was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Service was great. Staff was friendly. The food was incredible. I had the vegetariandish it was roasted root vegetables with red quinoa and coconut cashew cream with a mixed green salad topped with golden beets,thinly sliced pear, goat cheese and candied walnuts with a yuzu vinaigrette.And the desserts eere out of this world. It was asampler of apple pie, german chocolate cake, coconut cream/pudding, and coconut sherbert with strawberry sherbet. SOOOOOOOGOOOOD!!! My family and i were completely satisfied and well be looking forward to coming back hungry for more. Read more
Let me start with, I have NEVER left a bad review for any place. My fiance and I stopped at Marti's as a last minute meal before... seeing Riverdance on Saturday night (01/06/18). The next day I woke up sick to my stomach with food poisoning! I believe it wasthe shrimp avocado poke I'd ordered for an appetizer. I was literally sick the entire day sunday, barely able to function letalone care for our 3 children. What was supposed to be a nice evening to ourselves (which we hadn't had in over a year) wasinstead blanketed by an entire day of recovery the very next day. Like I said, I don't like to complain let alone leave a badreview, but after the way I felt the next day I feel it is needed! Read more
This restaurant was amazing! The food was excellent and the service was out of this world. If you have the opportunity to pick... a waiter, hands down go with Yessar. His recommendations and service are unrivaled by many. Our family adored him. Glad to beback! Read more
I visited this restaurant last Saturday for the first time. I was pleasantly surprised with the dinner. Even though it was a set... menu I truly enjoyed the 3 course meal. You have to try the yuka puff they melt in your mouth. Presentation and flavors are onpoint. John the server was so attentive and knew what to recommend. He knew that I was attending the theater and he made sureeverything was on schedule. If you have tickets for a play get there early and have dinner or drinks at Marti’s New RiverBistro! Read more
