Breakaway Inn Guest House in Fort Lauderdale

DO NOT ONE HERE. 30 MINUTES BEFORE DRINK ORDER. 45 MINUTES NO FOOD. THE PLACE IS EMPTY. I DON'T WANT TO PLAY THE CARD BIT I WONDER IF THAT'S THE REASON WE WEREN'T BEING SERVED. NEVER AGAIN WILL I PATRONIZE THIS PLACE I DO NOT RECOMMEND. RUN THE OTHER WAY

This place is terrible. I went to celebrate my birthday with my girlfriend on a Friday night. It was around 7pm, not too late or early. The place wasn't even full (while all the other restaurants in the area were). We stood waiting to be seated and was ignored by the staff. After about 10-12 mins. Someone told is to have a seat anywhere we'd like. After sitting for another 10 minutes, the menus arrived (no silverware). 10 minutes later the waitress took our drink order only too inform us that they were out of iced tea. She then disappeared. 15 minutes after that. Another waiter appeared. He took new drink orders and started us with an appetizer. We ordered the octopus, he informed us they were out of that too. So we went ahead and ordered our meals. My girlfriend had the lamb and i tried to order the chicken. They were out of chicken as well. Finally we just walked away.
I'm a huge fan of all the restaurants in Lauderdale by the Sea. This one ranks at the bottom. It's too bad i didn't get to taste the food; I've heard good things, especially the octopus. Needless to say my birthday dinner was ruined. We ended up at another Greek restaurant down the street. Way better experience.

I got the fish tacos and the little bit of fish under the mound of slaw tasted great. WAY to much "filler" in the tacos. I'm paying for fish tacos not slaw tacos lol had to return my drink because it still had a bunch of lip stick all over the brim... With all the other options down here don't think I'll be returning.

I would give zero if it was possible. We stopped in for 1 drink after dinner, had the drink and as we were leaving the bartender claimed we never signed the credit card slip, which we clearly did as 2 of us split the tab, and even asked the bartender for a pen so we could sign the tabs. No biggie, print new merchant copies and we'll sign those again, they insisted we sign the customer copies and leave those which is shady... no biggie, we did so... then as we were leaving the bartender (didn't catch his name but he is from Houston as he was talking about his team advancing to world series) so the bartender says to us to go eat a big bag of diks, but as we were almost completely gone so we heard it, went back and asked him what he said and the tuff guy wouldn't even look over at us. so we asked for the manager and told him what had happened, he couldn't care less... so needless to say we will never go back... we are all locals, and it's a shame some places take that for granted and only care about tourists... well visitors beware, the staff is rude and apparently up to shady business. The owner should also consider hiring a manager that at least acts like he cares about customers.
