DineOut Fort Lauderdale 2011

[crewsweeper]

I see the DineOut Fort Lauderdale 2011 restos and menus are out. Any values worth trying? Looking at maybe Cafe Maxx and possibly Sublime. But didn't see too many, if any new spots or places getting recent raves from other reviewers.

Any thoughts?

Johhny V's was amazing during the promo last year - one of my best meals of 2010, and I plan to hit it again this year (I think they do weekends - I went Sunday last year), and with 4 courses instead of 3 it was amazing value and quality.

Thanks everyone for the recs. Looks like I might only have a one night op to do dine Out this year. Market 17 and Johnny V's both seem interesting. Might come down to last minute, depending on what I feel like that day type of decision.

I second Market 17, also suggest Johnny Vs. I've heard glowing reviews of Grateful Palate but their food is so over priced. That said, this may be the time to try it, at a $35 price fixe.

Sublime really isn't * that * great. It's only great for modern vegan/vegetarian cuisine. Aside from the Frito Misto, its really not that tasty. The glowing feelings so many express about it is in my opinion more about the concept & atmosphere than the food.

Market 17 definitely! And I hear SAIA at the B Ocean is very good as well and is deemed to be quie pricey so on a special deal it might be worth a try.
