While it is an unassuming, corner building that's easily passed by as compared to be the louder and flashier establishments on the Drive, Caruso's & Courtyard Cafe is one of the coziest neighborhood spots one can find. The staff were incredibly accommodating (Thanks Lloyd and Cheryl, y'all deserve a raise!) and created a welcoming atmosphere that's a prime example of a 3rd space! The food, from the wings to the pies, were surprisngly tasty based on my lackluster expectations from the fairly middling interior decor. Plus, it's in a walkable, easily accessible, multi-modal area on Wilton Drive, complete with outdoor seating that makes it an even better experience.

COURTYARD CAFE Dom Caruso has partnered with an old neighborhood favorite that I thought was gone for good: Courtyard Cafe. I have been here for three meals in their first week and I am so happy. The food seems to be even better than it did at the original location. The portions are large, everything was cooked perfectly, which was a particularly impressive feat considering that they have just opened. I understand that the original chef is involved with the reopening, and I see many familiar faces in the wait staff. It has been great to see Aaron again, as well as Todd and all of the others. Welcome back to a neighborhood favorite!

Such a beautiful spot! The food is incredible. Anything Dom makes is amazing. We had the garlic rolls and "The Dom" pizza. We have been eating his food since Caruso's on Dixie near Prospect. The food is still as good as it has always been. So happy Dom is back and doing what he does best!

I am so happy to be writing this review for a few reasons.. It was my first time back to Courtyard Cafe since they closed from their previous location and I was a frequent customer and I never had a bad experience through the years. Aaron was always an exceptional server and I missed his presence when they closed. I was so disappointed when the closing happened and I am aware the rents have gone up so ridiculously on the Drive in Wilton Manors, it’s a sin in my eyes to be charging such high prices‼ Anyhow I went to the newest location on the Drive with a friend and to our surprise Aaron was there again as the server and our food was amazing just like before‼ It doesn’t matter what you order it’s always delicious as it’s from the same menu as before and I’ve tried everything‼ Special shout out to the chef and owner Manny for his personal touch on what comes out of the kitchen with his cooking talents and pleasant personality.. just like Aaron‼ Go check out this gem in Wilton Manors for some delicious foods and nice atmosphere as well‼

Great to have a Wilton Drive favorite back! Courtyard Cafe keeps the fun, familiar menu offerings while adding some welcome new items to mix things up. Order turnaround time was a bit on the slower side and the soft drinks were a little flat, but honestly, it’s just exciting to once again have a Diner spot you can actually hang out in. A welcome return to the neighborhood and a great place to socialize.

We had a 60th birthday party for 11 people. Cheryl and Will did a fabulous job as our servers. The food came out perfectly. They know how to handle a small to a large party. Bon appétit !

We were happy the Courtyard is back. We loved the breakfast in the past. We had awesome service today. We will be back. The food today was for the most part very good. The biscuits and gravy were so good. The eggs were cooked perfectly. However the bacon and home fries were a little over cooked as were the pancakes. The waiter offer to replace mine, without me saying a word. Good eye on his part. As can happen a grill can get away from the cook, but given the other food being so good, we can overlook it. We were happy and will be back. I recommend you try it out. Welcome back guys!

Hands down one of the best pizza spots I’ve been to. From the first bite, you can tell everything is made with care.The crust is perfect, the sauce is flavorful, and the toppings are fresh and generous. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and makes you feel like family. If you’re looking for pizza that actually hits the spot, this is the place. I’ll definitely be back again and again!
