Lauderdale...unless you've never had stone crabs before and are dying to try them or you've had them, love them, and have to have more...if so, that's the place to go...to be honest, I've never been able to figure out what's the big deal about them...been there, had them...cold crab you crack out of the claws..ehhh...just wasn't to my taste...I know there's a joint or two in Ft. Lauderdale that have them too but never went to any of them...seafood-wise Marie and I found this great little seafood joint in Pompano...called the Calypso, on Powerline south of Atlantic...only proplem is they're only open Mon-Fri as they do catering on the weekends...looks like a little local joint but the food is incredible...there's a very good Italian restaurant in Coral Springs actually...best is Flavors Of Italy...almost as good is Tavalino's...however, neither compare to Cafe Materano but good luck getting in there...last time I checked they didn't take reservations and are always mobbed...if you're looking for a place to smoke you might want to drop in at Smoke Inn Pompano...on Powerline above Sample...if you're gonna be there I'm sure a few of us might be able to get free and meet up with you there...on weekdays I can generally get there around 7PM...let us know...
