Jamie says: Here’s a long time favorite fancy lunch spot from the Pine Island Plaza- Vienna Cafe and Wine Bar (9100 State Road 84, Davie, Florida 33324; tel. 954-423-1961).
This is the side of the restaurant most people would probably see. (We rarely see because we come from the other direction.)
I actually stood in front of the sign for a little trying to figure out if it was new or just something I never noticed before…
Here’s the side of the restaurant we usually see…
Check out the bar inside. (I’ve never sat at it because I always go for the delicious food.)
So straight to the tables we go. This is the area we have always sat in…
But there’s also another seating area, too.
It’s a charming place to dine for a nice lunch. (I love their lunch, but I’m not as sold on their pricier dinner menu.)
I love how they always have fresh roses on the table.
One of our favorite salads is the Sonoma Salad. We will often share it as an appetizer, but this time I really wanted their delicious grilled salmon on top of it. (They’ll add grilled salmon to any salad; for a fee, of course.)
Kathryn says: Whenever I go to Vienna, I have a go-to meal that I get because it’s so very tasty. The Cambridge Royal Smoked Salmon is a sure bet for a delicious meal. The delicate smoked salmon is piled atop crispy fried potato shreds. The dish is topped with a dollop of sour cream and a small spoonful of caviar. A little bowl of capers comes on the side. If you’re in the mood for salty, crunchy and sophisticated, then this is your dish.
Jamie says: Overall, Vienna Cafe is a wonderful place for a nice lunch out. The food is scrumptious and the atmosphere is charming.
