Frommer's Review

Despite its bleak location in an unassuming storefront, Darrel & Oliver's Cafe Maxx is one of the best restaurants in Broward County. When it opened in 1984, it was the first restaurant to have an open kitchen, and what a stir that caused! Now, instead of the kitchen, the marvel is what comes out of it. Consider ancho-rubbed swordfish with corn and succotash, conch fritters, and avocado salsa; sweet-onion-crusted yellowtail snapper with Madeira sauce; or blue cheese and pine nut-crusted rack of lamb. Yum. But save room for dessert -- the deep dish Bourbon pecan pie or Bing cherry bread pudding are just two of many diet- and mind-blowing options.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
