Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

Another fabulous dining experience, gourmet food at very reasonably priced. The bartender remembered my name from two months ago and he makes the best martini's. Order the escargot, mouth watering

First time back to Mojo for at least over a year. Had another really good meal there. Started with the calamari, which comes with an Asian kind of sauce that is really good. Hot calamari and sort of spicy sauce make for a good combo. My meal was a special: pistachio crusted grouper, mashed potatoes and spinach. All of that was very good and cooked perfectly. Dessert was a chocolate peanut butter mouse pie. It was delicious and clearly home made. Service was awesome as always and the noise level was manageable even with the live music in the background. Overall a really nice visit. Keep up your mojo Mojo!

I brought my girlfriend here for a surprise date this past Saturday. The first thing I noticed was the artwork. They have some really awesome original artwork on the walls. The art, combined with the low-level blue toned lighting made for a very romantic vibe. Elizabeth and I were seated right next to the stage, where a flamenco guitarist played for us while we ate. Of course, I had to play it off like I knew that was going to happen! For an appetizer we shared the best calamari I have ever had... Hands down. It was pan (or maybe skillet) fried without excessive breading and covered in the most delicious "citrusy" and spicy sauce (japanese seven spice, sweet thai chili, lime according to the menu). I can't wait to try it again! When choosing an entree, I like to go for items with interesting combinations of flavors. I usually go into it just thinking that I want to trust the chef and see if they live up to their reputation. For my entree at Mojo, I had the very popular Breast of Duck. It was served over beets, which are not typically my favorite, but the sweetness proved to complement the duck perfectly while covering the slight gamy flavor that typically lingers in the back of the pallet with this bird. It was served with a blueberry garnish and a cauliflower/ goat cheese puree which I could not get enough of! The only negative of the meal was the boisterous crowd of men sitting too close to us for comfort. It did detract from the otherwise romantic evening. However, I can not exactly blame the restaurant for this! So I did not take it into account in my 5 star review. Also, Elizabeth was probably not as happy with her entree as I was with mine, but that was her experience, so I'm sure you'll see that reflected in her review. I can't wait to come back for more calamari!

Can't beat the happy hour selections! All menu options are tasty, but the mussels steal the show - in addition to the Best bartender in FTL! I'll be back again and again. Wednesday is awesome...happy hour all night!
(5)Wil J.
This place was AMAZING. The food was AWESOME!!! The drinks were delicious and they did not water down the alcohol! A live guitarist was playing the whole time. It was 5 of us and I can't tell you the last time I had this good of a time!!!! WE WILL BE BACK AND WE WILL BE NRING FRIENDS!!!!
(5)Steven M.
OK food, froofy atmosphere, lots of Gay people. Don't expect to watch sports here. A little too girlish for me.
(2)Eileen R.
We hosted a private party on the bar side of the restaurant. Chef-Co-Owner Dom created a special menu. Manager Co-Owner Anthony could not have been easier to work with. The food was fantastic from start finish. Most notable were the duck confit ravioli and the rack of lamb which was cooked to perfection. A wonderful evening was had by all!

I'm giving Mojo three stars, but know that my review is really a 3.5. I have been to Mojo before, but not for the food. My boyfriend Sam surprised me this past Saturday by taking me here for dinner. The atmosphere is really romantic with blue up-lighting and very cozy seating. They also had a live guitarist playing flamenco music- wonderful! We started off our meal with bread and olive oil. The bread was cold and the olive oil was only seasoned with black pepper. That bread would have been amazing if it was crispy, warm and right out of the oven. Also, come on! Only black pepper?? At least throw some Italian seasoning into that oil! Next we had the calamari appetizer. No joke, this was the best calamari I have ever had in my life! It was served with greens tossed in a fantastic ginger dressing. The calamari itself had Japanese spices and Thai sweet chili sauce on it. The calamari was a perfect mix of rings and tentacles that were lightly breaded and perfectly fried- they weren't chewy at all! I wish I had just ordered 3 of these appetizers and had that for my meal! For entrees Sam ordered the Duck Breast and I ordered the Char Sui Pork Chop. I honestly had no idea what I wanted to order. There wasn't really anything on the menu that stood out to me. I checked Yelp to see what was the most recommended, and it seemed to be a 3-way tie between the duck, the pork chop and the salmon. I didn't feel like eating salmon, and Sam was already ordering the duck (I can't order the same thing as someone else!), so all that was remaining was the pork chop. I also asked the waitress what her favorite dish was, and she responded by saying that the pork, salmon and duck are good (I can't stand when they give me an answer like that. I'm asking you because I care about your opinion). There seemed to be a trend with those three dishes, so I went ahead with the pork. I have to say I was quite disappointed with my dish. The pork tasted pretty basic, as the marinade didn't seem to soak into the meat. I also am not the biggest fan of balsamic vinegar, and that's all it tasted like to me. There was also a weird wet cornmeal type stuffing. At first I thought I liked it, but then I realized the texture was off-putting. The pork came with sweet potato, jalapeno corn fritters which were good but not great. They reminded me of hush puppies, which I happen to hate. The pork also came with garlic green beans which were delicious. I didn't like my meal, but I won't discredit Mojo for it. I tried Sam's duck and it was amazing. This restaurant has a lot of potential in my eyes, so I have a feeling we will be back (especially since Sam rated Mojo 5 stars!).
(3)Mari A.
Love this place! Whenever my husband and I are in town we make time to come have dinner at this hidden gem. It's very cozy and the decor is artsy. The food is delicious and fresh! They have a mouth watering creme brûlée. On a few occasions they have had a live singer and guitarist.
(5)Ken I.
Everything here is just excellent. Not much more to say. Excellent food, great value and never a wait for a table here. Just wish we got to go there more often... Location may be killing this place (tucked away up here on N. Federal Hwy)..
(5)Andy M.
First visit to mojo. Went for a bday party. Both food and service were great. Can't wait to get it again.
(4)Doris L.
A lovely looking place with lots of potential but low on the mojo. A Valentine dinner was sweetly mediocre at best. Fish filet was flimsy on flavor. Steak was blah. Side dishes looked like they were plopped on the plate in an assembly line of lunch ladies - mashed potatoes and green beans or something. Can't remember. Nothing wrong with it - but not up to par in my book. And then there was the tuna tartare, served chopped up in a large shot glass... that landed all over my lovely boyfriend's leather jacket. Accidents happen and it was a night to celebrate love..and compassion so we made the best of it and used up a bunch of napkins to clean up an move on with our evening. The tuna dish was replaced at no charge but that was it on the compassionate compensation on the part of the restaurant. We were swiftly brought a round of drinks following the tuna tumble, but those drinks also made their way on to our bill later. We were not in the mood to argue or beg for special service so we let it go and made a swift exit. On the service side -- our server started out full of mojo but was clearly pissed that an inexperienced assistant caused the accident. No compassion there, just fear of low tipping which led to her keeping a low profile at our table the rest of the evening. I would have gone the other way and kissed some major ass. I mean, it was Valentines night. It's not worth mulling over as the food here just wasn't good, and that is the key point. The tuna flop was just another reason to lament an overall disappointing experience. Boo hoo. Ok I'm over it.
(2)Genesis B.
My boyfriend brought me here thinking it was going to be stupendous... The food was very good but it wasn't "GREAT". They combine different ingredients together that you would never have combined yourself to create their dishes and they turn out very good. They offer a few plates that you would not find in many places such as duck. We were not a fan of the inside as it's dated and it isn't really inviting. The service wasn't bad but she could've been more attentive. We did like that there was a wide variety of people - families w/ kids, couples, and singles. Overall, we enjoyed it but wouldn't come back.
(3)D V.
Company Dinner With The Krew Everything was amazing Everyone had something different so everyone had a taste of everything. Salmon Tartare was phenomenal and although mussels are tough to get right now, Dom did his 'per usual' amazing mussel appetizer... Deserts were again, 'as usual' awesome! Thanks guys! Great job! Great evening!
(5)Matt D.
Total opposite of a chain restaurant. Relaxing, artistic and unique ambiance. Food and staff keep us coming back. Excellent for date night or a group of friends. I just wouldn't suggest if you're looking to have a private business convo - each time we have been seated in close proximity to other customers. Overall I love it.
(4)Dara B.
Once again another great dinner, excellent bar and table service!
(5)Sherry W.
This was my third visit for the $20 pre fixe menu. The service was once again great. This time I had the chicken with mashed potatoes and kale. The chicken was very moist. Kale was cooked with bacon so it had great flavor. Mashed potatoes had chives in them for added flavor. I chose the chocolate chip Kahlua cappuccino ice cream. It was excellent. I wished they rotated the menu options on the pre fixe menu, especially the desserts. Bread and olive oil are brought to the table upon request. They have $6 martinis all night on Tuesdays. Otherwise the other happy hour deals end at 7pm. If you sit at the bar, they have 1/2 off appetizers until 7pm. I will definitely return, but would be quicker to return if the menu had new selections.
(4)Chloe E.
John was a really good server. This place is a local gems and it's unique. Thursday night I went there was live music. I was able to enjoy the crab cakes and sweet potato fries. My beverage was a Cosmo and it was made to perfection. I like this place very much. It's unique and has vibrant artwork all over.
(5)Vincent P.
We ate at Mojo's this past Saturday. Eclectic old beach feel. Comfortable and relaxed. The food was outstanding. The owners, Dominic and Anthony, are great and gave the meal a personal touch, including recommendations. The Grouper was fresh and perfect, the ribeye was the best I had in a long while. The meatball app is a must.
(5)Nicole S.
Amazing food and specialty drinks in a great setting! The best hidden secret in Fort Lauderdale. The beet and goat cheese salad was delicious, the glazed salmon was perfectly done and the open face mini cannoli was superb.
(5)Orlando W.
Excellent over all experinece. Waitress pleasant, knowledgeable and very attentive. Huge fan of the DragonBerry Mojito. Ambiance and lighting nicely put together. Will definitely take significant others here and tell colleagues about.
(5)Michael D.
My absolute favorite restaurant! I love everything about this place from the art on the walls to the unique creations by the chef - everything is so good! The owner Anthony is friendly and hospitable and the food is so awesome! The strawberry & goat cheese salad is always delicious. The herb roasted chicken is good along with the fresh whipped potatoes and kale. For dessert I love the ricotta pound cake with caramelized apples and vanilla gilato (best. dessert. ever.) Some of my other favorite include the lamb lollipops (wow!) , the chicken parm (huge!!), the jumbo shrimp w/ chutney, and of course the mussels! They have AWESOME deals for every night of the week along with a Prie Fixe menu, it's definitely worth checking out. The restaurant is usually pretty empty and from the outside may not look that great but trust me, you're in for a treat!
(5)Goran I.
This place has been at this location for long time now. We finally decided to stop by for dinner. The calamari appetizer it was a nice portion but I found it be a little dry. The duck breast it was tender but a small portion. About the gnocchi, I have a hard time believing that's homemade, not really good. Service it was good.
(3)Roberto B.
Just a hop, skip and a jump from my apartment door this may well become my favorite new restaurant. Not just the courteous and attentive service from my waitress Samantha wooed me, the soothing interior that resembles a lovely sentiment that you could be in Sicily or Santorini and of course the outstanding food were just winners across the board. Since I work in Miami I often get asked when I'm returning to live there, Mojo stands out as yet another reason to say NEVER! I had the appetizer of lollipop lamb chops that were succulent and quite tasty (as evidenced by the juices that dripped down my shirt!). This was followed by a beet salad with red onion slivers and chopped nuts and it was fantastic - I would have licked the plate if there weren't other diners present. For my entrée I had the highly touted duck breast which was exquisite and it was accompanied with some delicious sauerkraut and an unusual concoction of pureed cauliflower with goat cheese; that almost stole the duck's thunder. I concluded with a glass of port and a rather large slice of hummingbird cake that I frankly couldn't finish - I was entering the realms of food coma - and boy was I pleased..... I can't wait to return!
(5)Anthony L.
Mojo is my secret gem The owners are wonderful hosts and restauranteurs The atmosphere is truly chic but comfortable and the food is nothing short of inventive with many interesting ingredients Just had a meal with a group of friends who all agreed that we must return soon for another special meal

Mojo is located in a Mall off of US 1 in fort Lauderdale. It has beautiful brushed metal doors and the inside decor is blue and white which are my favorite colors (next to black). The decor is very comforting. The restaurant is divided into two rooms. One has a bar. The other has a small stage where there is often entertainment, but not while we were there. We went before Christmas. This was our third visit to this restaurant. It is a very nice venue and I would recommend it. It has an eclectic menu although my partner noted that there appeared to be several asian style dishes. I had the flat bread margarita which was very good. I followed it with a shrimp and crab dish served over linguini. They made a less spicy sauce for me. This was an excellent dish. The sauce was appropriately thick and the linguini was served al dente. I was very pleased There are no table cloths on the table and while the server was very pleasant, the service was only good - not excellent. I've started to take note of the rest rooms in various establishments. The restroom here is very nicely appointed and is very clean, which is important. The owner of the restaurant came to the table and greeted us. He advised us of the prix fixe that is offered. He is very personable and is very interested in his customer's satisfaction. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant
(4)Liz F.
Was trying to find a place to eat in that area and the great service started from a phone call. I asked about reservations and Anthony was very welcoming on the phone and was enthusiastic about showing us the menu. It was a Tuesday so it was not that busy. Anthony showed us a nice menu that included salad/soup/appetizer, main course and dessert. I forgot our waiters name but he was very nice and helpful. I ordered the roasted beet salad. That was amazing! As well the salmon with lo mein noodles and Asian vegetables... Really good! Not fishy, well seasoned and last but not least the creme brûlée... 5 stars all the way. Service, food and ambiance. The Pre-fix menu runs Tuesday - Thursday I believe and it's $19.95 and during this time they also have happy hour. $6 well martini's $5 wine by the glass.
(5)Robert C.
Mojo is awesome. Fantastic owners & staff. Anthony is awesome. The food is awesome. The guitar player is awesome. This is one of my favorite restaurants. The bartender Jay is awesome. We had in incredible time Friday night. Had the clams & piggies, veal saltimbucca, lollipop lamb chops, mojitos & dirty martinis. All was super fantastic & totally awesome.
(5)Cipher S.
The owners are a great duo; Anthony is in the front of the house mingling, his partner (forgive me, I forget his name) is the chef and whips up some amazing dishes. I don't have much experience with any other servers except for Samantha. She's spectacular. She knows the food items intimately and sold me on the meatloaf one night (I'm not a particular fan of meatloaf, let it be said) by telling me it was like wearing a warm sweater in front of a fireplace on a cold evening. It was like that. Well played. Bar staff is a little pretentious but that's par for the course with a lot of bartenders in the area. Live music occasionally which is actually not overpowering while eating and adds to the ambiance. Parking looks bad but its actually pretty good. I highly recommend giving it a try.
(5)Eryn I.
Another fabulous meal at mojo! Great music and drinks! We had all the app specials (tuna, salmon and the burrata) all of which were fabulous. The meals were all wonderful: chicken milli, pork chops, duck and salmon. The beer selection, according to my husband, was just ok but the vodka was great!! I love the happy and open environment with beautiful art work and friendly weight staff! Looking forward to going back!
(5)Zachary F.
This place is a gem. This was the first time I've been, and far from the last. I went for the Tuesday special deal 3 course meal for $20. Everything was great. Plus I ordered an additional appetizer the escargot, better than I could have hoped for. The other thing about this place is the design is so relaxing. Enjoy.
(5)Brian G.
Mojo is a reealy good restaurant in FT. Lauderdale. it has a large bar, a room for dancing and live Music, is nicely decorated with modern art , has a very nice vibe and great and friendly service. there is plenty of parking too boot. as for the food, the duck breast was delicious as was the stir fired salmon and vegetables. they used a root substitute for the mashed potatoes which was delicious, and their red cabbage, was better than the red cabbage that i eat at my favorite German restaurant.. this place is a winner!!!
(5)Janie G.
I can't believe we haven't been before. We kept driving by but never looked into it. Thanks to Yelp we gave it a whirl and it is the best hidden little gem, walking distance from home. You know what that means, well it means I could walk there ;) Decor is best described as FRESH. So inviting! Walls are decorated in the Chef's very own artwork which is actually very impressive. I am not an abstract kind of girl but this guy has some talent. Food was dynamite, I will have to post a picture of the clams I always get. Cooked perfectly with the little salty clam belly still in tact. Do you know how much culinary talent it takes to cook them that way? Servers were so friendly and attentive. Cucumber martini with jalapeno infused vodka is BRILLIANT! So happy to have found this place ;)

Following an initial hiccup and some legwork to reconfirm a reservation that the online reservation system had cancelled in error, I was able to visit Mojo while in Fort Lauderdale for a long weekend. In the end, I'm glad I made the additional effort to get here, as Mojo was the clear culinary standout of my entire trip. The caliber of service left somewhat to be desired, but overall, I'm still looking forward to returning sometime in the foreseeable future. Food: The menu at Mojo is comprised of stylized American Continental fare, with everything from ceviche to meatloaf. I started with a glass of German Riesling and the Margarita flat bread pizza, the latter of which was flavorful and nicely prepared. For an entree, I had the char sui pork chop, which was filled with chorizo cornbread cherry stuffing and accompanied by sweet potato corn jalapeno fritters - it was excellent. My dining partner and I did not order dessert, largely because it was not even offered by the waiter - however, the desserts being enjoyed at an adjacent table appeared appetizing and expertly presented. Service: The only lackluster component of my visit to Mojo was the service, which was surprising considering that the restaurant was not even at 50% capacity. Much of the problem had to do with the waiter, who lacked personality, knowledge of the menu, and basic service skills. I overheard him say to another table that he was a relative of the owner, so perhaps the hospitality industry was just a convenient fallback and not his real life calling. Nonetheless, it's still no excuse for poor training. Apart from the waiter, the hostess and a gentleman that appeared to be the owner, were cordial, welcoming, and appreciative of our patronage. Atmosphere: The interior of Mojo is sophisticatedly casual with contrasting color schemes throughout, including the chef's own abstract artwork along the walls. The restaurant consists of two separate dining rooms, one of which also houses a bar area. There is also a small elevated stage across from the bar, which a classical guitarist was performing on during my Friday evening visit. Dress is smart casual. Cost: Moderately pricey, but commensurate with the quality of the food. Appetizers are $10-$15, salads are $6-$18, entrees are $15-$32, and a la carte sides are $4-$8. There is a $6 service fee for split entrees and 20% gratuity is added to parties of 5 or more. Other: Mojo is closed on Sundays. The dining room is open from 5PM to 10PM, Monday-Thursday, and 5PM to 11PM, Friday-Saturday. Happy Hour is Monday-Friday from 5PM to 7PM. Free parking is available in the lot directly outside the restaurant - no valet is available. A two-course prix fixe menu is offered on Tuesdays for $19.95. Mojo also offers both onsite and offsite banquet and catering services.

I've been here twice now with the first time about 2 months ago. A friend invited me and we went as a party of 4. The server advised us that it was Martini night so all 4 of us ordered Martinis along with dinner off the fixed menu. I had the roasted chicken which was delicious and everyone enjoyed their meals along with 2-3 Martinis per person. When the check came all Martinis were full price. We asked the server why our drinks weren't discounted and she acknowledged that she made a mistake. However only 3 of our 10 drinks were the specially priced Martinis. She never told us this at the beginning so she said she'd talk with the owner. When she returned with the revised check she said Anthony agreed to only discount the Martinis on special. Even though I wasn't happy with the response I thought I'd give the restaurant another try because the food is good. This restaurant participated in Dining Out For Life so I organized a group of 10 people to join me for dinner and none of my guests had ever dined here before. The server told our table on 3 separate occasions as the guests arrived at different times that bottleS of wine under $100 were half off. We agreed to order a bottle of red & a bottle of white. When our Dining Out For Life ambassador came to the table who is a friend of mine he informed me that there is a limit of one bottle per table at the discounted rate. I asked our server and she said "oh yes that's correct." I asked if an exception would be made since it's a party of 10 with every person ordering an appetizer & entree, and she said she'd ask Anthony, the owner. She returned saying that Anthony would not make the exception. Even though I've enjoyed the food both visits, I will not be returning or recommending this restaurant. You will have a good meal, but you'll want to ask if any specials have restrictions or maximums, because this part doesn't seem to be shared at the start of the meal and the owner doesn't make exceptions even when the server fails to inform you.
(2)Bri A.
I was really excited to try this place out after reading all the great reviews from yelp.. I was pretty disappointed as my food was really bland, everyone at my table thought the same of their food. The bread that is served before the meals was dry and hard inside and out.. We ordered a bottle of wine which was good. And the ambiance was nice. But I wouldn't go back.
(2)hank t.
Thank you for a memorable experience!! I love coming here as Anthony and his staff is most accommodating . Trod at however, my lively wife surprised me in my 60th birthday with a small party of 14 guests .
(5)Andy C.
I could pick on a few things. The bread was weak.tasted old.. and the olive oil was not evoo...But overall it was great. Anthony the owner was more than hospitable. Our service was outstanding. My steak was fabulous. Wife loved the stit fry. The meatballs were solid. The place is very artsy and comfy. Worth a trip back.
(5)Ligia M.
What a cute place, great decorations, great ambience, & delicious food. We have reservations & the host was so welcoming & accommodating. Our waiter was great & told us all about the specials & gave us time to order out food & drink our wine. We have the burrata appetizer, my friend had the crab cake dinner & I had the gnocchi it was all delicious. They also had an acoustic guitar player, very cool. I will be going back.
(4)Joe P.
Anthony and Dominick have a fabulous formula for eclectic dining (with an Italian emphasis), fine wines and cocktails, and ambiance. Great for happy hour with Italian tapas, as well as date night and special family events. Savor the experience!

We love happy hour specials, food, artsy atmosphere! Try the hummingbird-amazing!

Service, decor and food were all amazing! Perfect!

The meal I had last night was 5 stars. The reason I gave it 4 stars was because I came here once before and I dont remember it being as fantastic as it was last night. I took my mom who is visiting from out of town there because she wanted something different and creative. It was a Tuesday night, there was a nice little crowd in the place. We were sat quickly and our drink order was taken quickly as well. I cant remember our servers name but he was very friendly and helpful. We shared two appetizers - the escargot with artichokes, feta and tomatoes in white wine and a special which was grilled or baked peaches with goat cheese, proscuitto and balsamic. These were two of the best appetizers we've ever had, especially the peaches. While we enjoyed our main dishes (she ordered the mahi special and I had the chicken), we wished we would have just ordered more appetizers and shared them. I would have had another order of the peaches. For dessert, we shared a slice of the chocolate espresso torte which was so smooth, so decadent we asked to thank the chef for the entire meal. It was a superb meal from start to finish. Great for a girls night and cozy enough for a romantic date. Definitely try Mojo.
(4)Jengo M.
Ahhmazing food!! We had two appetizers: some kind of crab bruschetta and delicious cheese and artichoke with tomatoes and basil. Our main entree was the pork chop with chorizo stuffing and hush puppies. INCREDIBLE! Ambience was laid back, singer had a beautiful voice. Service outstanding! The owner Anthony goes out of his way to make you feel at home. Go try it.. You wont regret it, Mojo lives up to its name!
(4)Rudy R.
I had a wonderful evening with my wife for our anniversary. The food was delicious and the decor was great. Service was excellent and the owner Anthony was very welcoming and nice. We will definitely return.
(5)Ana B.
Hm.. Not sure about the "cleanness" of the people that deal with the food, they guy that was bringing the food at the table, was touching the food with his fingers.., several times he did that, I was in a party of 8 or more, and almost all plates he touched the food.. Well go for drinks and eat in someplace else.. :)
(3)Eileen B.
Attentive and accommodating staff, fabulous food- try the peach salad if it is on special and the hummingbird cake for dessert- homemade and amazing. The ambiance is hip and relaxing. enjoy!
(5)Fauzia I.
Nice place, nice food, nice people. Relaxing, creative decor with a lot of sea blue and white. Very Key West feel. Even the windows are blued-out - interesting, but it ultimately feels a bit confining - like you're in suspended animation. We sat on the side away from the singer - perfect if you also want to have a conversation besides enjoying the music. She was pretty good, nice selection of covers. We had a voucher which was no problem, contrary to what I read in other reviews. We both liked the appetizers (ceviche and beef carpaccio respectively) and the entrees. The airline chicken (I guess it takes guts to put airline in the name and have to field constant questions about it) was in fact a large piece of pounded chicken, well breaded and not greasy. I ordered the shrimp stirfry, which was ok, but to my taste it needed to be spicier, or least have some zing. And more fresh vegetables - celery, water chestnuts, maybe? Anyway, the latter was a lot of food - 6 good size shrimp and lots of peapods - enough (with additions) for 2 more meals. Service was very nice, we chatted both with the waiter and owner. I would definitely go back if it weren't for the distance - plus I think the prices are a bit high for regular visits. Oh before I forget - Absolutely awesome flourless chocolate torte - real whipped cream and dots of raspberry sauce. If all their desserts are that good ... anyone fond of them will be in heaven.
(3)Ralph W.
Excellent food at reasonable prices along with great service make this place a definite one we will return to. One thing to note, however, is the restaurant policy of adding a 20% gratuity automatically to parties of FIVE or larger. That was a bit of an unpleasant surprise. Fortunately, our waiter, Joe, was worth it!

I went to Mojo for my 2-year anniversary...I was very satisified. The wait staff were great, and Anthony, the owner came out to everyone's table to check on them. Very rare these days in South Florida. I had the filet mingon with the fries adorned with truffle oil/bacon/blue cheese. Very good. My girlfriend had the fish. She said it was good, but a tad overcooked. The dessert was awesome...I had the creme` brulee..very smooth and decadent. The atmosphere was amazing, has a very key west feel. If you want the loud, loungy atmosphere, there's a side for that...I decided to sit on the more quiet side. The lounge singer...hilarious...she made the night! Overall, a good experience. I wish them luck in the future!!!

Went there last night with friends and had a fabulous dinner. Met the owner Anthony at the door who was so friendly and welcoming. Food was DELICIOUS. We had their mojo salad which was a great starter. The guys had a stuffed pork chop, both agreed it was the BEST they had ever had, the gals had salmon over thin noodles and crab cakes, both excellent. Ended with a scrumptious key lime pie and coconut gelato......we will be back for more(and hope to meet Dominic next time) Kudos to our terrific server, Victor.

Disappointing. $11 for a Tanquery Martini on a Tuesday evening at 6:00PM? Are they nuts? We attended a charity event last evening (Tuesday). The charity was gave everyone one drink ticket. When we asked for a martini it was explained the ticket was good for beer, wine, or rail up to $3.50. Fine we offered to pay the difference, no problem. When the bartender gave us the $24 bill my reaction was there had to be a mistake. Nope that was the charge $11 each plus tax=$24 He applied the $7 discount after the total and taxes. When questioned the bartender copped an attitude. Seriously, i'm here to write a check for a charity and you're jacking prices even during Happy Hour? Adding insult to injury it was a TUESDAY and it was 6:00 PM not the busiest night for any restaurant. When we mentioned two other local expensive restaurants in the area where the drink prices aren't as high I was told "Well we're not _____ or _____." With that we decided then not to stay for dinner. Add this there is a very small parking lot that fills up quickly. The busniess to the north polices their parking lot and will have you towed. There's two empty business (one to the south and two up north) but you can't just turn left coming out of the lot. You have to execute a series of u-turns. Very inconvenient. This location has turned over again and again. Previous businesses haven't fared well alot in part due to the parking. If Mojo expects to recruit and retain new customers they have to examine their business model and prices they charge.

A large group of friends and I finally had a chance to try MOJO last night. We got a very friendly welcome and the food was above average. We started with the spinach and artichoke dip and I got the MOJO burger which was delicious. My friends ordered the stuffed pork-chop and the "Millie" which is a version of fried chicken, Yum! The only negative was that we asked the waiter nicely if we could split the check prior to ordering and we got some snarky attitude, like "you're lucky 'cause I normally don't do that." It's sad because that would be enough for me not to want to come back. So judge for yourself because you may not get the same waiter but the food is great.

Beautiful, relaxed and artistically inspiring decor. The service and food was excellent. I had the meatballs and calamari to start - both scrumptious. For mains we had the special grilled steak and shrimp stir fry. Both were excellent even though the stir fry was a bit oily. Highly recommend for a good restaurant in the area. On top of everything we used a groupon deal for dinner and they were extremely gracious in honoring the deal. A must try!
(5)Nina S.
If you want south beach style and 5* food and service and are in broward why travel to dade? Definitely a Glbt friendly community but being straight I still felt welcome and comfortable. Try the fig martini and the meatball appetizer!
(4)Lynne L.
Excellent apps, entrees and desserts. Bevan was the best waiter ever! Thanks Mojo for the beautiful evening.

I finally made it to Mojo, met a few friends at the bar which happened to fill up very fast. For a first timer I asked the bartender (Jae) for some recommendations on cocktails & appetizers. She hit the nail right on the head w/her recommendations. The escargot & calamari was out of this world & she was right the best beef carpaccio in town. The cucumber martini & special mojito were to outstanding. As we waited for our table we noticed most people at the bar were regulars & had nothing but great things to say about the food. The ambiance & music were perfect. Laid back, casual & so welcoming that we decided to eat dinner at the bar & carry on with the show. The bartender was suburb, funny, knowledgable & didn't break a sweat serving drinks for the entire place.. Which had to be over 100 patrons. I was highly impressed. We took the advise from another guest sitting next to us & had the duck which Jae chimed in & stated was her favorite & that we were in for a treat...Wow never had duck quiet like it. Unfortunately we left no room for dessert however, the espresso martini was just enough for me. From the food to the art (who is the chef/artist) to the staff to the bartender (who rocked) there's no place like it. Will definitely be back sooner than later.

My recent first visit to Mojo was, overall, a good experience. The dining area is mostly white, and accented by original art that I learned was by the chef / owner - I liked the art, but the overall look of the dining room was a bit odd. (I later learned Mojo had taken over a predecessor restaurant dining room, so they apparently inherited some of this look). The dining room was strangely quiet for most of the time we were there - no music for ambiance - and we later discovered that was because there was to be live music - I'll just say that the live music was inoffensive, but not really to my tastes. (Fortunately, it was in another room) The highlight of the dining was the ceviche appetizer - it was beautifully seasoned, and every ingredient seemed very fresh. It was enough to share with my date, but it was so good I think that I would get my own next time! My entree, a grouper special, was also quite good, but the flavors were not very distinct - there was a corn base for the 'sauce', and I liked it, but it might have overpowered the fish a little bit. The fish was very nicely cooked. My date seemed to really enjoy her entree, and I liked the bit I was able to 'steal' - it was a glazed salmon, was cooked just right, and had good flavor. There were mashed / whipped potatoes with wasabi served with the salmon, and I really liked that - my date thought the wasabi was a little much. The wine list is decent, and the prices about average. There is a good cocktail list that I think I would try if I return.

The restaurant has a very hip but laid back South Florida vibe all decorated in white with large canvases of art work throughout the restaurant. The Bar which was quite big looked like a pretty nice place to have a cocktail or two. We ordered off the prix fixe menu and had the Scottish Salmon grilled Asian style in an orange glaze over noodles with slivered vegetables. It was seriously good. We also both ordered salads to begin with. Mine was the roasted beet salad and the other was a Caesar which were both delicious and fresh. The service was good enough but could've used a little polishing. Fresh ground pepper had to be asked for instead of being offered and a glass of wine had to be asked for twice. All in all, we did enjoy the food and the ambience very much and do plan on coming back perhaps on a night when they have live music and half price martinis.
(4)Ed N.
We've eaten there a handful of times and never been disappointed. It's fun just for drinks too and very cool that they server dinner so late. Christmas Eve their take on the traditional Italian 'seven fishes' dinner was great and last night their special Valentine's Day Dinner was over the top. Lamb chops to die for. Wait staff is alwasy pleasant and I love being in a place where owners are there and personable and welcoming and make me feel like they really appreciate my business. Their generous sponsorship of community events just endears them to me that much more. This is my new favorite when I want something really special. You don't have to spend a lot but I always enjoy wine (wine list is very reasonable) so dinner for two can be on the expensive side, even more with cocktails, but doesn't have to be. And it's the only place around that has my all time favorite brandy Cardinal Mendoza for after dinner.
(5)Erin S.
My boyfriend and I decided to try Mojo and I am so glad we did. The food was delicious and our server Jason was awesome. They were featuring a macadamia crusted baked Brie which we tried and it was absolutely delightful! My bf had the filet mignon which was cooked to perfection. I had the lump crab cake which was also really tasty. All in all a really great night and experience! I am definitely a fan. I hope to go there again when we are back in the area.
(5)Amanda C.
Absolutely Delicious! Great service, great atmosphere, and one of the best meals I have had in South Florida!
(5)Judy L.
Great atmosphere. Server Bevan was very professional and cordial. We asked for suggestions of other places to eat and he offered a few. Ceviche and Onion pizza flatbread appetizers were delicious. Swordfish was prepared to perfection. Bacon wrapped filet w/ Gorgonzola = mmmm. Crab & shrimp fra diavalo met expectations. Ribeye with Gorgonzola mashed potatoes portions big enough to take home in a leftover bag. Party of 4 enjoyed our 1st time visit, hope you'll enjoy it as well. Oh, the musical duo was entertaining and enjoyable. Have fun.
(5)Kim B.
Fantastic restaurant with great food and the decor is amazing. The owners make you feel welcomed and the service is on top.
(5)Sue W.
Ok, I just don't think it gets any better than this: we were greeted by the owner, the bartender was full of information regarding the menu, the waiter was attentive and full of personality, and the food was spectacular! Oh, and the decor was amazingly beautiful!! This will be our first choice for dinner in South Florida.
(5)J. S.
Haven't been here in a year, but the service was always good, the drinks were great, and the food was very tasty. I think it might be owned by members of the GLB community but I'm not sure nor do I really care. It always had a diverse group of people when I went in there and I look forward to going back.
(4)Harry D.
Aphrodisiac Monday's with Dj Maximus ITB night is just the best. $6 Bowls of Mussels!!!!
(4)Alan C.
After many visits to Mojo I can now write a review to share. In general food is American with asian and other influences. Never pushy with overdone flavors, many dishes you think you know have a new interpretation. Tonight a simple meal for me. I started with a favorite appetizer, Escargot with artichoke, white wine, garlic butter and grape tomatoes. They made sure to give me a basket of bread to dunk. After that I thought, be good and eat simple... chicken maybe. I ordered the Panko & Parmesan crusted chicken with arugula salad. Sensible and very tasty. Add to this meal a knowledgeable wait staff and pleasant management and you have a restaurant to remember. I'll be back...again!
(5)Donald C.
The Food is wonderful! The service outstanding. It's a place you want to return to. Anthony, the host, is great. He takes the time to ensure everything is just right. The bar bites are absolutely delicious. The ambiance is cool and exciting. The personal touch of the hosts is obvious in every detail of mojo. Food presentation is beautiful. Don't miss the prix fix mid week dinner special. Mojo is a great place for happy hour or dinner, don't miss it.
(5)Mindy T.
From the moment we walked through the door, we got first-rate treatment. After a week of eating out every night while on vacation during Easter week, I took my best buddy from high school and my daughter to Mojo's for a night out. There was an amazing flamenco guitarist, great apps, perfect martini's and the food....well, all i can say is that I took my 86-year mom there two nights later. Within 15 minutes, she said "this is the best restaurant in the area'. In fact, she took her senior citizen friends and her boyfriend there tonight! We had the mussels, the barada (mozzarella with pesto on garlic bread), the house salad is like no other, chicken milanese, the stellar stir fry...and all I can say, is that the Mojo team aims to please. If you are looking for atmosphere and fine food, this is one restaurant you don't want to miss.
(5)David K.
Had dinner at Mojo for the first time tonight and had a wonderful experience. We had the travelzoo deal which made the "cost to joy" value even better. Cool, chic interior...doesn't feel like you're on Federal Highway. We started out with respectable size glasses of house chardonnay and pinot grigio at the bar, only $5 during happy hour. The bartender was very friendly and competent. We took advantage of $5 "bar bites" during happy hour and ordered the artichoke and truffle dip. Good, but there are better choices at this restaurant. At dinner, we ordered the Mojo House salad and a grilled peaches appetizer. The salad was a nice mix of fresh greens and was too big to finish. The grilled peaches were amazing. Entree choices were Organic Salmon with a grilled orange ginger glaze and a crab stir fry with brown rice, wahini, and stir fried vegetables. My husband loved his salmon, but I thought my dish was the winner. Dessert was a flourless chocolate cake...really delicious, one of the best I've had in a really long time. The waiter was very attentive without being intrusive. He was knowledgeable about the menu and had a very pleasant disposition. To top off the meal, the owner, Anthony, came over to our table to introduce himself and check on how everything was. We only paid $39 for our meal (plus the wine and artichoke dip) which was the deal of the century...but even at full price...we would have been very satisfied. We definitely will return to Mojo.
(5)Robyn S.
We went to Mojo on our vacation. Contemporary, cool interior where you can dress up or down, nobody seems to care. We had excellent service. We ordered the eggplant appetizer with fig sauce OMG! good. Beet salad was also excellent. Date got the special veal chop, and I got the grouper. Delicious. We got talked into a dessert, which was flavorful, but not my favorite. My only complaint was the dessert, and that's only because I wouldn't have normally ordered something with banana in it, and it didn't bowl me over. Otherwise, great place and we'll definitely go back again!
(4)Eileen R.
1st experience here and it was wonderful. We were welcomed by all. The wait staff was extremely attentive. The crab " cake" was a healthy spicy take and wonderful.Portions were generous. The eggplant appetizer was delightfully different and yummy.My stir-fry with Salmon was cooked perfectly and piping hot. We opted for cold desserts due to our being stuffed. The ice cream and sorbet was delicious. We are locals and will be back wit friends.
(5)Tiffany G.
Omg.. This place was amazing! I have heard good things, but this place exceeded my expectations even still! Luckily for us, there was a couple next to us that were regulars and they helped us narrow down our order choices!! We started with the calamari and the mussels! The calamari was served with a sweet Thai sauce and it was divine!! The mussels were the best mussels I have ever had, and quite to my surprise!! I could have lived off those mussels.. Soft and PERFECTLY cooked!! I will be back for those!!! For entrees, my hubby got the meatloaf, which I tried and it was very tasty; however my duck was simply amazing!!! The flavors were phenomenal and it was perfectly cooked as well. I ordered the sour cream and chive mashed potatoes as my side in place of the cauliflower and goat cheese puree-I would have loved it as a side item, but I am cautiously staying away from soft cheeses while pregnant, and I was happy with my substitute. It complimented the duck!! So glad we finally tried this place !! We plan to come back soon, especially for the mussel special on Mondays!!!

creative, delicious but not overly fussy. great service, nice ambiance. Not break the bank either-- would recommend this restaurant to anyone. Will be back with friends for sure!
(5)Jenny D.
Has been one of my FAV in Fort Lauderdale ...always look forward to the overall experience. Restaurant has been there approx. 4 years and everything has been consistent. Great food - fish tacos, beet salad, meatballs and mouth watering and creative entrees. Service is super friendly and unmatched. Anthony is the best and Jae puts all bartenders to shame! I love the beauty yet simplicity of the decor which is very inviting and fun. Ask Anthony who is the man behind the art! Get to this place soon and bring lots of friends! :-)
(5)Austin M.
I'm a resident of Ft Lauderdale, and if I eat out, I always go to Mojo. Ft Lauderdale is not a culinary city, unless you really enjoy TGI Fridays and Outback. The staff is great, and the food is the best I've found in this city. Also a lot of great drinks. I've never been disappointed.
(5)Debra W.
Love, Love, Love this place. Jay is a rockstar bartender. Love her. And while the Happy Hour menu is a great bargain, so is everything on the menu. Creative, flavorful & generous portions that are thoughtfully prepared & delicious. The ceviche is tender & yummy, the meatballs saucy & moist and the roasted beat salad pleasantly unexpected. Nobody does seafood as exceptional so consistently. No matter what I order, it comes out phenomenal. Gotta love a place you can't go wrong with no matter what you order.
(5)Mingosd S.
We enjoyed this place thoroughly from the moment of arrival to departure. Although I don't believe in mixing seafood and cheese the chef cooked up a variation of filet sole special. The hearty spinach egg drop soup as great. I wanted to take the whole experience home with me. . . . Food service and decor right on point.
(5)Angie V.
What a great restaurant!! This is the recreation of the famed Mojo in Margate, NJ. We were so happy to find it, and it's as good as ever! Cool place with a beautiful bar, hip, and with a south Florida flair. Anthony is the ever-gracious and welcoming host, and the talented Dominic is working his magic in the kitchen, as well as his artistic talent on the walls. We enjoyed the burrata appetizer and beet salad, which were excellent. For entrees we had the seared pepper crusted tuna, and probably the best pork chop any of us had ever had. Very much looking forward to going back again and again!!
(5)Martin G.
Duck breast was excellent and nicely presented. Our teens liked the Carbonara and chkcken paremesan pasta, and particularly the desserts. Excellent wine recommendation and good service -- nice to see owners/managers personally involved.
(4)Casimir Y.
This is quickly becoming my favorite restaurant in Fort Lauderdale! The food has always been incredible and inventive - and the owners, Dominick and Anthony, are welcoming and fun. Highly recommended!
(5)Brian T.
A real gem! Beautiful decor, great music, fantastic food. Cosmopolitan atmosphere. Can't believe that living here in a town of great restaurants this was a new place to me. Took my three generation family there Xmas Eve. Sampled lots of martinis. Loved the low key professional waiters. 'First class place' is my highest grade and they deserve it
(5)Julio M.
I was wonderfully surprised at how great this place is. After reading some of the reviews my expectations were not very high. The lights are dim and the atmosphere was warm, friendly and inviting. The waitress was nice, attentive and very well informed. They had a seafood chowder special that was the best I have ever tasted. It was chock full of seafood and flavored perfectly. Since it was not on the menu my guess was that it would be pricey; however, I was pleasantly surprised to learn when i got the bill that a cup was a mere $4.00! Had I known I would have ordered a bowl. Everything else we ordered was delicious, from the calamari to the pork chop to the pasta.
(5)Keith L.
Awesome food and super friendly people. This place is a real find so I'm already looking forward to going back. We started with a six onion flatbread. Tasty! The onions were mild but very flavorful and the dish was the perfect amount to share. Might have to try the meatballs next trip. For an entree, my wife enjoyed the carbonara. A very generous bowlful with a full flavored sauce. You can add jumbo lump crab if you wish but she chose not to. I tried the special - filet mignon with blue cheese crumble. Absolutely delicious and nearly fork tender. The kitchen really knows their stuff! Our server was helpful and friendly - personable throughout the meal. Dessert was Key lime pie which was good but not a standout and that was fine. Very nice wine list at rather decent prices. Check them out for a great evening.
(4)Kristen T.
We went to Mojo on a Tuesday night for their prix fix dinner special for $19.99 (runs Mon-Wed) which includes a soup or salad, entree and dessert. I chose the roasted beet salad, salmon orange ginger glazed, lo mein, asian vegetables and chocolate banana bread pudding. The beet salad was good with blue cheese, red onion, candied walnuts, balsamic reduction although I am not sure the beets were actually roasted. The salmon was excellent. I ordered it med rare and it was so moist and flavorful. The bread pudding, although not served with ice cream, had the perfect blend over banana and chocolate without one over powering the other. The portions that are included with the prix fix deal are very good. I actually took have my entree home so I could enjoy my entire desert. I will definitely go back to try some of the other options. You can't beat the deal as the regular entree for the salmon is $25 alone.
(4)Vincent S.
On a road filled with mediocre food lies a gem...Mojos. The food in every category from fish, to meat, to poultry, all cooked to perfection and taste out of this world. Whether its for appetizers or full course meals, this is the place to take your date,your wife, or a group of friends. The place is spotless clean, the service is friendly and attentive. All this would be for nothing, if the food wasn't good, but it's awesome. Not many places you go to in Ft.Lauderdale can you say you really love the food, but Mojo's is top notch.
(5)Peter D.
This is my first review on yelp, had to write about this place. First, our waiter was the best, Jason - just an amazing person and very entertaining. We started with the Goat Cheese Salad, then moved onto Zuppa d' Pesce and the stir fry Salmon - all amazing. Then for dessert it was the Brownie Sunday and the Hummingbird Cake, again, just great. Bottom-line - I have eaten at some great places like Sunfish Grill, Steak 954, Capital Grill, Season 52, Morton's etc..... Mojo's has made the list. So happy to found this hidden gem.
(5)Douglas C.
More like 3 and 1/2 stars..I have only been here once so I can't comment on consistency. However, I will return since I was pretty pleased with the food and service here. I had been meaning to try this place for a while and finally did on a Saturday night. Reservations via open table were honored upon check in. Parking was easy as this was the only store in the shopping center that was open at the time. The ambiance/decor is a little unusual but nice nonetheless. There is blue lighting and house club type music was playing before the flamenco guitarist arrived. Maybe trying to be a little too hip for a strip mall, but I appreciate the effort. The restaurant is pretty big and when we arrived a party of about 15 had arrived too. We luckily got our orders in before them however, so service on the whole was fine, although it lagged just a little bit towards the end due to the aforementioned party. Waiters seemed willing to help each other out though preventing any real service pitfalls. We started off with some drinks. The dragonberry mojito and cucumber martini were both enjoyed. We then got half sized salads of the caesar and beet salads. Both were good albeit a little small for a starter salad. The beets had great flavor and were cut down to small chunks. The casesar was pretty standard. There are a few interesting menu choices and I took our waiter's recommendation for the duck breast. It was a very good dish. The meat was cooked to my liking with great berry flavored sauce. Fresh blueberries on the plate with the sauce was a nice touch. Some of the duck skin however was little too burned. Overall though a very nice dish. The cauliflower puree served with the duck was paired very well with the berry sauce. The chicken dish ordered was simply flavored but cooked nicely. I heard the skin was excellent. Sour cream and chive mashed potatoes served with the chicken were good but lacking any real expected depth of flavor. Dessert consisted of a decent brownie with some very nice coconut gelato- their version of the almond joy brownie. It was good but I would try other desserts. Prices are a little high but this is a good value if you go before 6:30 pm, which I may do next time. I plan on returning.
(3)Michael R.
We had a great time. The owner Anthony is very welcoming. The food was cooked perfectly and came out in a timely manner. The ambience is a little unusual with the blue lighting but it is not a detraction from the experience. The service was excellent our drinks were never empty and our sever was knowledgeable. The prices are a bit high even for more basic dishes which is my only issue with this establishment.
(4)John B.
Excellent food, 1st time visit! Great find! Try it, I'm sure you will enjoy!
(5)Avneet S.
I reserved a table here on a Thursday night for a group of colleagues in town for business. The food was very good, and looked like they had a ton of fun mixed drinks on the menu. Loved the vibe too. The only thing I didn't really appreciate was the lack of ability to adjust dishes to not include meat. I've been to very few restaurants where the kitchen and staff were hesitant about replacing the meat in a dish with some spinach and mushrooms. I mean, really, it's much cheaper than the meat you were going to put in there anyway! Other than that, service was good, and we enjoyed the ambience.
(3)Deven B.
Great new place on Federal- just opened. Their kitchen is open late so I'm sure I will be stopping by again since there are so few late night options in this town. So far I've gone once for dinner and once for drinks. Each time the service was fast and friendly. The food is a fusion of Asian and American? Had their beet salad and tasted a few fish entrees - all were great! The drink menu is huge and a bit intimidating. Nonetheless, I was able to find several to my liking. ;-) FYI: the "Lemonade" is great! I think Monday they're starting an all night happy hour, too. I'm always amazed at what you can find in a strip mall in FL! Great place and friendly, easygoing staff will ensure this place is a hit with the locals. I expect them to do quite well in a town crying out for late night dinner options.
(4)Jeremy J.
As a last-minute effort to find a good place to eat on Valentines Day, I made a reservation for two at 9 p.m. I had seen their advertisements in various publications for months, but to be honest, the picture of a nearly naked man did nothing to persuade my palate to venture to the establishment. It's a good thing I decided to take a chance, not to mention having few options late in the day. While I was a little disappointed to learn that Mojo had failed to write down my reservation when I called earlier in the day, there was seating available for us. They did offer their apologies and brought two roses to the table, which as of today are still alive. The decor had a Key West feel to me, which is fine seeing that I love the island. The food, while a little pricey, was very good. I had the jumbo crab cakes which were accompanied by sweet potato fries and apple cole slaw. All three were delicious but the serving of cole slaw was just too much and could be easily split between two people. I personally would have paired the crab cakes with sides that were more complimentary, and probably could have had I asked. The jumbo crab cakes (2) were delicious and I could not finish them both. My friend started with what I believe was a squash soup. I was offered to taste it, but five minutes later he was nearly licking the bowl dry, so I will assume he really enjoyed it while forgetting that I wanted to taste it (he offered). This was followed by the bacon-wrapped filet, which was juicy and tender (I took the first bite to ensure I got a taste). It was paired with some roasted potatoes that were quite soft and tasty. Based on my initial experience, I would visit Mojo again and recommend to friends. My only suggestion, if you haven't done so already, is to revamp your advertising campaign.
(4)Stephanie F.
good date night spot. it was pretty quiet when we went, the owner talked to us which was really nice. the waitress, i forgot her name, was amazing. i got a chicken dish and my boyfriend got the gnocchi. i felt my dish was a little flavorless but his was pretty good. my mojito was awesome, and the creme brulee was delicious :)
(4)Freddy M.
I found this place on open table. I wanted to make a reservation for a special evening. After several hours, I chose Mojo.. It had the best reviews. Wow.. I was not disappointed. We had a couple drinks at the bar. ( get a well drink... My martini was nice but my partners cocktail was the Real Deal) The service was top notch from start to finish. The owner greeted us & made sure we were satisfied at every turn. As for the food.. Trust me. I have been to The Pelican, grill 66, ocean osteria, blue moon, etc... This fare will not disappoint & the chef will customize any order. I got the special pasta of the day.. But added chorizo. Just ask... Delish!
(5)Candice C.
Tried this for the first time with a Groupon and we will definitely be back. Shared the red mussel app which was very tasty. I had the crab cakes and the bf had the duck... both were amazing - clean plate club amazing. All desserts are made in house. It has a south beachy lounge ambience and the service was very good. Happy to have found this place.
(5)Kim C.
This is one classy place with very attentive staff. They carry our favorite gin, Hendrix, which is not offered by many restaurants. The musician that performed did a fantastic job; just the right mix of style and volume. The quality of the food is excellent as well.
(5)Harry A. M.
We came early--about 5:30-6:00, one other table taken. The maitre d took us to a comfortable booth. the bar is well stocked and the bartender looked like a pro--though I had only a glass of Chilean wine, that was served after having been forgotten, so there was no charge for a very good glass. Anyway, one of us had Stir Fry Tenderloin with vegetables and brown rice. He was very happy with it--a Blue Moon served from the tap went well with the Tenderloin. (We weren't asked how we like the tenderloin It was served medium rare and it was served on a stick, over the stir fried veggies and rice. It had been grilled. Grade A. We also had clams with linguine filling, good clams, nice and meaty, but the linguine was over oiled. The menu showed Gnocchi with sausage and spinach.. I ordered it but asked for linguine instead of gnocchi. The sausage was sweet, the spinach perfect, but once again, the linguine was just to oily for my taste. We finished with a piece of ricotta cheesecake. Artfully decorated with whipped cream and berries--but dense, The espresso was perfect, the service fine, even with the forgotten wine. Cost with a $15.00 tip--$82.00. I'd give Mojo a second chance. It looks like a place with the potential to impress.

Likely one of the best happy hours i have seen in Lauderdale.Bar specials are 1/2 priced and well done.Had been here for a full dinner as well in the dining room.Will definiately be returning.(Calamari 4 stars)
(4)Marqus R.
So why in this updated review would I down rate Mojo from a five to a four? Simply put, it's that matter of consistency. Though the food consistently remains top notch, other things about the place do not. In my initial review I mentioned the entertainment that didn't show up on time. During my last venture to Mojo it was the service at the bar. I went to Mojo for their mussel Monday. The mussels were dime size small, but properly prepared in a very good broth. However, the bartender managed to make our Margarita drinks, ordered with salt and lime but ended up coming with with sugar coated rims. So what? I can let that pass. Everyone makes mistakes, even though I have never heard of that type of mistake before. However, the next mistake, I can't let pass. He then took our drinks, poured them into other glasses with salted rims but then reversed our drinks, giving my drink to the other person with me and the other persons drink to me. Second mistake. Then, when checking out the bill upon leaving, we were billed $12/mussel dish instead of the posted $6.00/mussel dish. Third mistake. When brought to the bartender's attention, his response was "Are you sure it is only $6.00?" Well, yes I was sure, to which he responded that he would see what he could do about it. To me, when one doesn't even know the price of the specials being served, that qualifies as a fourth mistake. To top that off, instead of simply correcting the billing, we sit there not only waiting for the bartender to see what he can do about it but then also waiting around while he attempts to correct the error on his bar top computer. Fifth mistake, as I can't think of anything more boring than watching someone fool around with a computer glitch that consisted solely of a simple aarithmetic error when most anyone ought to be capable of quickly correcting a $12 error in their head. As I had mentioned in my first review, which review was only written after dinning at Mojo's a number of times, that the food is indeed very good. Unfortunately the other things like the repeated blunders of an inept bartender, a singer doesn't show up on time and the like are representative of inconsistencies not deserving of a five star rating; hence my apologizes and my corrections.
