BlueMoon Seafood And Chophouse - Coral Springs, FL

I went to their former affiliate in Lauderdale By The Sea about two years ago, and as I recall it was not too bad of an experience, but overpriced. Now that this location has decided to separate and revamp itself, I decided to give it a try. This locations is definitely not as nice as the Lauderdale by the sea but it was nice enough. I did however find the staff to be more laid back and a bit more friendly though.

 

We were starving so we decided to jump right into our food. My fiancé had the 16 oz premium choice NY Steak. As a steak lover he was very satisfied with the size and cut. He like the taste of the port wine demi very much.

 

I had the Lobster and Shellfish Pan-Roast. It had a little bit of everything in a spiced brandy-tarragon cream. It was not spiced, but still had good flavor. I was very happy with the amount of seafood that was in the dish.

 

What we missed out in an appetizer, we made up with dessert. Instead of sharing, we decided to order two desserts. The first was the Icky Sticky Caramel Torte. It was sticky but not icky and really good.

 

The other dessert option was the Jamaican Coconut Rum Crème Brulee. It was tasty (its not too difficult to make a crème brulee), but promises of coconut rum flavor failed to deliver. It was pretty basic.

 

My final take on BlueMoon Seafood And Chophouse is while the food is good, the prices are a bit outrageous. The restaurant is located in a shopping center and is not offering anything out of the ordinary so I am not sure they warrant charging almost $50 for a plate of food. However, it is up to you to decided.

La Parrilla Rotisserie & Grill - Coral Springs, FL

I don't know how to describe La Parrilla Rotisserie & Grill other than similar to La Granja (restaurant chain that serves Latin American food).

 

My fiancé had the Steak with Rice and Peas. It was a satisfying meal, but didn't wow.
 

 

I had the Mofongo with Fried Pork. First off the sauce (which is usually garlic based) tasted and look like Lipton broth, then the meat was over seasoned and salty. The Monfongo itself was decent though.
 

 

Bottomline, decent service, a basic restaurant atmosphere, and okay food.

Smashburger - Coral Springs, FL

Smashburger wasn't a smash but it wasn't a complete miss either. Smashburger is a semi-self service kind of place. You walk in, go to the counter to place your order, seat yourself, and they bring the food to the table for you. Smashburger offers a bunch of different burgers, sandwiches and fries. 

I ordered the Spicy Baja Burger and Sweet Potato Smash Fries. I am sad to say but the burger was just okay. It had potential based upon the toppings used but the burger was a little dry/overcooked (maybe due to the smashing) and had too much guacamole making the burger messy to eat. I did like the bun though. The fries were also really good, and I would go back just for the fries alone.

The restaurant was clean and had someone walking around to maintain the cleanliness, but it was extremely cold to the point that I was uncomfortable and rushing to eat my food to get out fast so I would recommend eating outside. One good thing I can say is that the staff was wonderful and service was exceptional.
