    I am told by some locals that this Padrino’s is the ‘tourist’ Padrino’s without a full menu. To no matter…it was fantastic. Food was hot, fresh and delicious

    We went to this beautiful restaurant and had a great meal. The ambiance was excellent and our waitress Marien was kind, quick and 100% on point with her recommendations. We are only in Dania Florida for one day but if/when we return, this restaurant is an absolute must visit.

    I’ve been patronizing Padrino’s regularly for 40 years, in Hallandale, Plantation and now in Dania Beach, where I went last night with my wife and friends. Sitting alongside of us was a woman, playing music on her phone that was louder than the house music. I asked her to stop and she refused. I then asked our waitress to intervene, and she said she would tell the manager. Nothing happened. Then I demanded to see the manager, who finally came to us and talked us like we were the problem. I explained that we dine out to relax and enjoy ourselves, and not hear music from two sources simultaneously. He was not the least bit sympathetic, and in fact went to the woman and had a lengthy (and friendly) chit-chat. Sorry, Padrino family, we expect better of you and won’t be back anytime soon.

    I order porkchop dish. The chops tasted old and dry..like meat close to spelling. My guest couldn't eat her apertizer, the only part that was good was the fried plantains they were the best I every had..and I don't like them. Food had a left over taste, but service was the best.
