will try them both, thanks

But I live in New Jersey! (Flying home Sunday AM, so I will, in fact, be home by kickoff.)

Probably won't have a chance in hell SB w/e as most Fri/Sat's are tough as it is but Mama Mia on the circle in Hollywood. Food is fantastic, as good as any place I've been in Chicago and very reasonable.

Shrimp Absolut Citron™
Cold water pink shrimp sautéed with a touch of fresh lemon and orange juices, torn basil and flamed with Absolut Citron vodka. Finished with fresh mozzarella and pink sauce

If you live in NJ you will probably be just OK with Matteo's. If you want to enjoy some GREAT people watching and Great food too while in FL, check out Cafe Martorano East Oakland Pkwy near the beach. Incredible you will love it.

That is the Vietnamese place--they have the best pho in S. Florida. For banh mi and some other things I prefer Saigon Cuisine in Margate, bit for pho, Pho 78 cannot be beat. The summer rolls are very good, too.

It will be impossible to get in there that weekend. The food is great. They are opening another location in the Hard Rock.

good recommendation, my stomach wants the month of march to arrive soon. must gain 10 pounds down there every year
