Hot & Soul

"Hot & Soul is a restaurant 16 years in the making.  Since we packed our bags in Boston and moved to New Orleans, our goal had been to one day own our own restaurant.  Over the years, we've learned how to cook the classics, new techniques and everything in between.  In New Orleans we learned about tradition, spice and bold flavors.  When we moved to San Diego, we learned about craft beer, fresh ingredients, ethnic cooking, and sourcing from small farms and fisherman.  Here in South Florida, we see the emergence of the burger bars, the gastropubs, craft breweries and comfort food made with quality ingredients.  All along, we've found little mom and pop restaurants, where the owners cook and serve the food, and you can taste the care taken to make it.  We wanted to create that kind of small restaurant feel.  We've merged our desires for the kind of restaurant we would like to go to, as well as the kind of restaurant that we would like to work in.  We hope you will come and appreciate our vision!"

Tarpon River Brewing

Tarpon River Brewing is one of Fort Lauderdale's newest and hottest brewpubs. The creators of The Riverside Market & Cafe joined hands with The Restaurant People (YOLO, Boatyard, S3, Spatch & more) to create a full-on brewery/restuarant in the heart of downtown Fort Lauderdale. All of their beer is brewed on site with very close attention to the subtle nuances of different ingredients, in a giant warehouse that was once home to the horses that drove the buggies back when the roads were made of brick. A local place for local people, For the Love of Fort Lauderdale.
