The City of Weston didn't even exist when we bought our timeshare in 1994; we were told the city was currently being developed and would be a city of distinction when finished. All true. The City of over 65,000 residents is a glowing example of what good planning and lots of money can do, and Weston was born and incorporated in 1996.
There is something for everyone in Weston, but my favorite thing is East City Grill at 1800 Bell Tower Lane. I am not a huge fish fan, but I love beef; my husband is just the opposite, so we sample each others meals all the time. Our first visit, in March 2012, was by all standards excellent. My heritage tomato/basil/fresh mozzarella salad was so delicious (and large) that I barely had room for my filet mignon, which was outstanding and prepared perfectly medium rare. Jim had the scallops appetizer which he devoured and their fish special which was served on a pearl pasta with a truffle sauce that I personally wanted to lick off the plate.
Our second visit, a week later, found us ordering some of the same items because they were too good to pass up. I tried a different appetizer--crabcakes, which were very moist and full of crab. I ordered the Chimichuri steak as my entree, and while it was very tasty, it was tougher than I expected. Jim had the Seared Tuna steak, which he pronounced "awesome". We went away with a doggy bag of the tuna steak because he had filled his belly with the Scallops appetizer again.
East City Grill offers indoor or outdoor seating, and the service is superior. Dinner for two and wine for one cost just under $115. East City Grill is definitely a great restaurant for that special occasion. To make reservations, call 954-659-3339.
Ugh, they turned this lovely place into a sportsbar. They took a winner and turned it into a loser.
