Bring The Old Owners BACK!
As a dining guest that has visitied the Tropics for many years while visiting Lauderdale and Wilton Manors, my partner and I were totally let down by the food, service and energy. In the past a visit to the Tropics was fun, the servers were upbeat and the food not like it came out of a warming tray. We even asked our server if the resturant was under new ownership and he hesitated giving us a response (probably because he had been asked that question many times before). We had heard rumors prior to going that a change had happened but in fairness we wanted to give it a shot. After many years going there this will have been our last. The new name should be Tragedy @ the Tropics.
The Food Is To Die For!
Ok, to begin with I am a resturant snob. I am particular about where my partner and I eat so I was hesitant when I first walked into Le Patio's tiny space, but don't let size fool you! The food is absolutely OUTSTANDING! We travel alot and visit many unique style resturants and this one has to be the holy grail. The two women that own Le Patio have a passion for the food they create and the pride in which they have in thier ownership and respect of their dining guest. If your looking for fast food taste, getting in and getting out in a hurry this is not the place for you. Just sit back, relax with several glasses of wine and be prepared for a culinary treat. Le Patio is now on our vacation dining radar when visiting Lauderdale/Wilton Manors. We need a place like this in Atlanta. Great food, great location great host! Robert & Joe
