I found this place on open table. I wanted to make a reservation for a special evening. After several hours, I chose Mojo.. It had the best reviews. Wow.. I was not disappointed. We had a couple drinks at the bar. ( get a well drink... My martini was nice but my partners cocktail was the Real Deal) The service was top notch from start to finish. The owner greeted us & made sure we were satisfied at every turn. As for the food.. Trust me. I have been to The Pelican, grill 66, Â ocean osteria, blue moon, etc... This fare will not disappoint & the chef will customize any order. I got the special pasta of the day.. But added chorizo. Just ask... Delish!
Review Source:Ok, I just don't think it gets any better than this: we were greeted by the owner, the bartender was full of information regarding the menu, the waiter was attentive and full of personality, and the food was spectacular! Â Oh, and the decor was amazingly beautiful!! This will be our first choice for dinner in South Florida.
Review Source:Excellent food at reasonable prices along with great service make this place a definite one we will return to. One thing to note, however, is the restaurant policy of adding a 20% gratuity automatically to parties of FIVE or larger. That was a bit of an unpleasant surprise. Fortunately, our waiter, Joe, was worth it!
Review Source:The restaurant has a very hip but laid back South Florida vibe all decorated in white with large canvases of art work throughout the restaurant. The Bar which was quite big looked like a pretty nice place to have a cocktail or two. We ordered off the prix fixe menu and had the Scottish Salmon grilled Asian style in an orange glaze over noodles with slivered vegetables. It was seriously good. We also both ordered salads to begin with. Mine was the roasted beet salad and the other was a Caesar which were both delicious and fresh. The service was good enough but could've used a little polishing. Fresh ground pepper had to be asked for instead of being offered and a glass of wine had to be asked for twice. All in all, we did enjoy the food and the ambience very much and do plan on coming back perhaps on a night when they have live music and half price martinis.
Review Source:The Food is wonderful! The service outstanding. Â It's a place you want to return to. Â Anthony, the host, is great. Â He takes the time to ensure everything is just right. Â The bar bites are absolutely delicious. The ambiance is cool and exciting. Â The personal touch of the hosts is obvious in every detail of mojo. Â Food presentation is beautiful. Don't miss the prix fix mid week dinner special. Â Mojo is a great place for happy hour or dinner, don't miss it.
Review Source:As a last-minute effort to find a good place to eat on Valentines Day, I made a reservation for two at 9 p.m. I had seen their advertisements in various publications for months, but to be honest, the picture of a nearly naked man did nothing to persuade my palate to venture to the establishment. It's a good thing I decided to take a chance, not to mention having few options late in the day.
While I was a little disappointed to learn that Mojo had failed to write down my reservation when I called earlier in the day, there was seating available for us. They did offer their apologies and brought two roses to the table, which as of today are still  alive. The decor had a Key West feel to me, which is fine seeing that I love the island. The food, while a little pricey, was very good. I had the jumbo crab cakes which were accompanied by sweet potato fries and apple cole slaw. All three were delicious but the serving of cole slaw was just too much and could be easily split between two people. I personally would have paired the crab cakes with sides that were more complimentary, and probably could have had I asked. The jumbo crab cakes (2) were delicious and I could not finish them both.
My friend started with what I believe was a squash soup. I was offered to taste it, but five minutes later he was nearly licking the bowl dry, so I will assume he really enjoyed it while forgetting that I wanted to taste it (he offered). This was followed by the bacon-wrapped filet, which was juicy and tender (I took the first bite to ensure I got a taste). It was paired with some roasted potatoes that were quite soft and tasty.
Based on my initial experience, I would visit Mojo again and recommend to friends. My only suggestion, if you haven't done so already, is to revamp your advertising campaign.
We came early--about 5:30-6:00, one other table taken. The maitre d took us to a comfortable booth. the bar is well stocked and the bartender looked like a pro--though I had only a glass of Chilean wine, that was served after having been forgotten, so there was no charge for a very good glass.
Anyway, one of us had Stir Fry Tenderloin with vegetables and brown rice. Â He was very happy with it--a Blue Moon served from the tap went well with the Tenderloin. (We weren't asked how we like the tenderloin It was served medium rare and it was served on a stick, over the stir fried veggies and rice. It had been grilled. Grade A.
We also had clams with linguine filling, good clams, nice and meaty, but the linguine was over oiled.
The menu showed Gnocchi with sausage and spinach.. Â I ordered it but asked for linguine instead of gnocchi. The sausage was sweet, the spinach perfect, but once again, the linguine was just to oily for my taste.
We finished with a piece of ricotta cheesecake. Artfully decorated with whipped cream and berries--but dense, Â The espresso was perfect, the service fine, even with the forgotten wine. Cost with a $15.00 tip--$82.00. Â
I'd give Mojo a second chance. It looks like a place with the potential to impress.
I reserved a table here on a Thursday night for a group of colleagues in town for business. The food was very good, and they had a ton of fun mixed drinks on the menu. Loved the vibe too.
The only thing I didn't really appreciate was the lack of ability to adjust dishes to not include meat. I've been to very few restaurants where the kitchen and staff were hesitant about replacing the meat in a dish with some spinach and mushrooms. I mean, really, it's much cheaper than the meat you were going to put in there anyway!
Other than that, service was good, and we enjoyed the ambience.
Ahhmazing food!!
We had two appetizers: some kind of crab bruschetta and delicious cheese and artichoke with tomatoes and basil.
Our main entree was the pork chop with chorizo stuffing and hush puppies. INCREDIBLE!
Ambience was laid back, singer had a beautiful voice.
Service outstanding! The owner Anthony goes out of his way to make you feel at home.
Go try it.. You wont regret it, Mojo lives up to its name!
Avoid this restaurant if possible. Â Three of the four in our dinner party became ill an hour or two after dinner. Â It seemed to be food poisoning. Â We had beef and chicken for our entrees with mussels first. Â Some of the mussels tasted bland and not right. Â The beef was barely mediocre. Â We will not be returning to Mojo.
Review Source:Hm..
Not sure about the "cleanness" of the people that deal with the food,
they guy that was bringing the food at the table, was touching the food with his fingers.., several times he did that, I was in a party of 8 or more, and almost all plates he touched the food..
Well go for drinks and eat in someplace else..
:)
We went to Mojo on our vacation. Â Contemporary, cool interior where you can dress up or down, nobody seems to care. Â We had excellent service. Â We ordered the eggplant appetizer with fig sauce OMG! good. Â Beet salad was also excellent. Â Date got the special veal chop, and I got the grouper. Â Delicious. Â We got talked into a dessert, which was flavorful, but not my favorite. Â My only complaint was the dessert, and that's only because I wouldn't have normally ordered something with banana in it, and it didn't bowl me over. Â Otherwise, great place and we'll definitely go back again!
Review Source:This place is a Foodie Gem! The entire culinary and bar program is exceptional. Staff is very knowledgable and inviting, The duck entree was cooked to perfection! Our Ceviche was oh so delightful. Excellent boutique wine selection very much enjoyed by my wife, I ordered a Gin Martini, the server Thomas summoned the head bartender Nick who was insanely knowledgable and accommodating, sold me on a craft gin he said I would not likely see at other places, I fell in love. the level of service and quality at this place is inspiring. I look forward to retiring with friends. Bravo to this well organized establishment for doing all the extra "little things" to personalize our dining experience.
Review Source:Haven't been here in a year, but the service was always good, the drinks were great, and the food was very tasty. Â I think it might be owned by members of the GLB community but I'm not sure nor do I really care. Â It always had a diverse group of people when I went in there and I look forward to going back.
Review Source:Had dinner at Mojo for the first time tonight and had a wonderful experience. We had the travelzoo deal which made the "cost to joy" value even better. Cool, chic interior...doesn't feel like you're on Federal Highway. We started out with respectable size glasses of house chardonnay and pinot grigio at the bar, only $5 during happy hour. Â The bartender was very friendly and competent. We took advantage of $5 "bar bites" during happy hour and ordered the artichoke and truffle dip. Good, but there are better choices at this restaurant. At dinner, we ordered the Mojo House salad and a grilled peaches appetizer. The salad was a nice mix of fresh greens and was too big to finish. The grilled peaches were amazing. Entree choices were Organic Salmon with a grilled orange ginger glaze and a crab stir fry with brown rice, wahini, and stir fried vegetables. My husband loved his salmon, but I thought my dish was the winner. Dessert was a flourless chocolate cake...really delicious, one of the best I've had in a really long time. The waiter was very attentive without being intrusive. He was knowledgeable about the menu and had a very pleasant disposition. To top off the meal, the owner, Anthony, came over to our table to introduce himself and check on how everything was. We only paid $39 for our meal (plus the wine and artichoke dip) which was the deal of the century...but even at full price...we would have been very satisfied. We definitely will return to Mojo.
Review Source:The meal I had last night was 5 stars. The reason I gave it 4 stars was because I came here once before and I dont remember it being as fantastic as it was last night. I took my mom who is visiting from out of town there because she wanted something different and creative. It was a Tuesday night, there was a nice little crowd in the place. We were sat quickly and our drink order was taken quickly as well. I cant remember our servers name but he was very friendly and helpful.
We shared two appetizers - the escargot with artichokes, feta and tomatoes in white wine and a special which was grilled or baked peaches with goat cheese, proscuitto and balsamic. These were two of the best appetizers we've ever had, especially the peaches. While we enjoyed our main dishes (she ordered the mahi special and I had the chicken), we wished we would have just ordered more appetizers and shared them. I would have had another order of the peaches. For dessert, we shared a slice of the chocolate espresso torte which was so smooth, so decadent we asked to thank the chef for the entire meal.
It was a superb meal from start to finish. Great for a girls night and cozy enough for a romantic date. Definitely try Mojo.
I went to Mojo for my 2-year anniversary...I was very satisified. Â The wait staff were great, and Anthony, the owner came out to everyone's table to check on them. Â Very rare these days in South Florida. Â I had the filet mingon with the fries adorned with truffle oil/bacon/blue cheese. Â Very good. Â My girlfriend had the fish. Â She said it was good, but a tad overcooked. Â The dessert was awesome...I had the creme` brulee..very smooth and decadent. Â
The atmosphere was amazing, has a very key west feel. Â If you want the loud, loungy atmosphere, there's a side for that...I decided to sit on the more quiet side. Â The lounge singer...hilarious...she made the night! Â
Overall, a good experience. Â I wish them luck in the future!!!
So why in this updated review would I down rate Mojo from a five to a four? Simply put, it's that matter of consistency. Though the food consistently remains top notch, other things about the place do not. In my initial review I mentioned the entertainment that didn't show up on time. During my last venture to Mojo it was the service at the bar. I went to Mojo for their mussel Monday. The mussels were dime size small, but properly prepared in a very good broth. However, the bartender managed to make our Margarita drinks, ordered with salt and lime but ended up coming with with sugar coated rims. So what? I can let that pass. Everyone makes mistakes, even though I have never heard of that type of mistake before. However, the next mistake, I can't let pass. He then took our drinks, poured them into other glasses with salted rims but then reversed our drinks, giving my drink to the other person with me and the other persons drink to me. Second mistake. Then, when checking out the bill upon leaving, we were billed $12/mussel dish instead of the posted $6.00/mussel dish. Third mistake. When brought to the bartender's attention, his response was "Are you sure it is only $6.00?" Well, yes I was sure, to which he responded that he would see what he could do about it. To me, when one doesn't even know the price of the specials being served, that qualifies as a fourth mistake. To top that off, instead of simply correcting the billing, we sit there not only waiting for the bartender to see what he can do about it but then also waiting around while he attempts to correct the error on his bar top computer. Fifth mistake, as I can't think of anything more boring than watching someone fool around with a computer glitch that consisted solely of simple a arithmetic error when most anyone ought to be capable of quickly correcting a $12 error in their head.
As I had mentioned in my first review, which review was only written after dinning at Mojo's a number of times, that the food is indeed very good. Unfortunately the other things like the repeated blunders of an inept bartender, a singer doesn't show up on time and the like are representative of inconsistencies not deserving of a five star rating; hence my apologizes and my corrections.
Nice place, nice food, nice people. Relaxing, creative decor with a lot of sea blue and white. Very Key West feel. Even the windows are blued-out - interesting, but it ultimately feels a bit confining - like you're in suspended animation.
We sat on the side away from the singer - perfect if you also want to have a conversation besides enjoying the music. She was pretty good, nice selection of covers.
We had a voucher which was no problem, contrary to what I read in other reviews. We both liked the appetizers (ceviche and beef carpaccio respectively) and the entrees. The airline chicken (I guess it takes guts to put airline in the name and have to field constant questions about it) was in fact a large piece of pounded chicken, well breaded and not greasy. I ordered the shrimp stirfry, which was ok, but to my taste it needed to be spicier, or least have some zing. And more fresh vegetables - celery, water chestnuts, maybe? Anyway, the latter was a lot of food - 6 good size shrimp and lots of peapods - enough (with additions) for 2 more meals.
Service was very nice, we chatted both with the waiter and owner. I would definitely go back if it weren't for the distance - plus I think the prices are a bit high for regular visits.
Oh before I forget - Absolutely awesome flourless chocolate torte - real whipped cream and dots of raspberry sauce. If all their desserts are that good ... anyone fond of them will be in heaven.
My boyfriend and I decided to try Mojo and I am so glad we did. The food was delicious and our server Jason was awesome. They were featuring a macadamia crusted baked Brie which we tried and it was absolutely delightful! My bf had the filet mignon which was cooked to perfection. I had the lump crab cake which was also really tasty. All in all a really great night and experience! I am definitely a fan. I hope to go there again when we are back in the area.
Review Source:1st experience here and it was wonderful. We were welcomed by all. The wait staff was extremely attentive. The crab " cake" was a healthy spicy take and wonderful.Portions were generous. The eggplant appetizer was delightfully different and yummy.My stir-fry with Salmon was cooked perfectly and piping hot. We opted for cold desserts due to our being stuffed. The ice cream and sorbet was delicious. We are locals and will be back wit friends.
Review Source:We've eaten there a handful of times and never been disappointed. Â It's fun just for drinks too and very cool that they server dinner so late.
Christmas Eve their take on the traditional Italian 'seven fishes' dinner was great and last night their special Valentine's Day Dinner was over the top. Â Lamb chops to die for. Â
Wait staff is alwasy pleasant and I love being in a place where owners are there and personable and welcoming and make me feel like they really appreciate my business. Â
Their generous sponsorship of community events just endears them to me that much more. Â
This is my new favorite when I want something really special.  You don't have to spend a lot but I always enjoy wine (wine list is very reasonable) so dinner  for two can be on the expensive side, even more with cocktails, but doesn't have to be. Â
And it's the only place around that has my all time favorite brandy Cardinal Mendoza for after dinner.
My recent first visit to Mojo was, overall, a good experience.
The dining area is mostly white, and accented by original art that I learned was by the chef / owner - I liked the art, but the overall look of the dining room was a bit odd. Â (I later learned Mojo had taken over a predecessor restaurant dining room, so they apparently inherited some of this look).
The dining room was strangely quiet for most of the time we were there - no music for ambiance - and we later discovered that was because there was to be live music - I'll just say that the live music was inoffensive, but not really to my tastes. Â (Fortunately, it was in another room)
The highlight of the dining was the ceviche appetizer - it was beautifully seasoned, and every ingredient seemed very fresh. Â It was enough to share with my date, but it was so good I think that I would get my own next time!
My entree, a grouper special, was also quite good, but the flavors were not very distinct - there was a corn base for the 'sauce', and I liked it, but it might have overpowered the fish a little bit. Â The fish was very nicely cooked.
My date seemed to really enjoy her entree, and I liked the bit I was able to 'steal' - it was a glazed salmon, was cooked just right, and had good flavor. Â There were mashed / whipped potatoes with wasabi served with the salmon, and I really liked that - my date thought the wasabi was a little much.
The wine list is decent, and the prices about average. Â There is a good cocktail list that I think I would try if I return.
Disappointing. Â $11 for a Tanquery Martini on a Tuesday evening at 6:00PM? Â Are they nuts?
We attended a charity event last evening (Tuesday). Â The charity was gave everyone one drink ticket. Â When we asked for a martini it was explained the ticket was good for beer, wine, or rail up to $3.50. Fine we offered to pay the difference, no problem. Â
When the bartender gave us the $24 bill my reaction was there had to be a mistake. Â Nope that was the charge $11 each plus tax=$24 Â He applied the $7 discount after the total and taxes. Â When questioned the bartender copped an attitude. Â Seriously, i'm here to write a check for a charity and you're jacking prices even during Happy Hour? Â Adding insult to injury it was a TUESDAY and it was 6:00 PM not the busiest night for any restaurant. Â When we mentioned two other local expensive restaurants in the area where the drink prices aren't as high I was told "Well we're not _____ or _____." Â With that we decided then not to stay for dinner.
Add this there is a very small parking lot that fills up quickly. Â The busniess to the north polices their parking lot and will have you towed. Â There's two empty business (one to the south and two up north) but you can't just turn left coming out of the lot. Â You have to execute a series of u-turns. Â Very inconvenient.
This location has turned over again and again. Â Previous businesses haven't fared well alot in part due to the parking. Â If Mojo expects to recruit and retain new customers they have to examine their business model and prices they charge.
A large group of friends and I finally had a chance to try MOJO last night. We got a very friendly welcome and the food was above average. We started with the spinach and artichoke dip and I got the MOJO burger which was delicious. My friends ordered the stuffed pork-chop and the "Millie" which is a version of fried chicken, Yum!
The only negative was that we asked the waiter nicely if we could split the check prior to ordering and we got some snarky attitude, like "you're lucky 'cause I normally don't do that." It's sad because that would be enough for me not to want to come back. So judge for yourself because you may not get the same waiter but the food is great.
Great new place on Federal- just opened. Â Their kitchen is open late so I'm sure I will be stopping by again since there are so few late night options in this town. Â
So far I've gone once for dinner and once for drinks. Â Each time the service was fast and friendly. Â The food is a fusion of Asian and American? Â Had their beet salad and tasted a few fish entrees - all were great! Â The drink menu is huge and a bit intimidating. Â Nonetheless, I was able to find several to my liking. Â ;-) Â FYI: the "Lemonade" is great! Â I think Monday they're starting an all night happy hour, too.
I'm always amazed at what you can find in a strip mall in FL! Â Great place and friendly, easygoing staff will ensure this place is a hit with the locals. Â I expect them to do quite well in a town crying out for late night dinner options.
