Abiaka Wood Fire Grill (in Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood)

"First time here and we were impressed with the entire experience. The skirt steak was well seasoned and good but the halibut was on another level. It’s prepared in a bag! When it gets served the server cuts the bag open and then the incredible aroma is experienced. The taste, even with capers, that I don’t like is truly delicious. Nicole the server was helpful and sweet. Yes, it’s expensive but it’s really good.."

"I really wanted to give this place 5 stars. However, after my last experience, I can’t. The first time I dined here, I had a great salad and an amazing dessert. I was so impressed by the delicious dessert not to mention how pretty it was! So I wasn’t sure if I could should review it based on my menu choice. I decided to go again to change up the restaurant choice and I was so disappointed. The shrimp was overcooked, the chicken dish was so forgettable. I don’t know what’s happening here but definitely not a fan. Disappointed considering the other dining options at the hotel."

"I have to share the most Fantabulous dining experience I had last night at Abiaka Wood Fired Grill in HR Hollywood .It is such a hidden gem .Run do not walk to experience this for yourself .The food was phenomenal .The drinks were yummy and beautiful .Everything was cooked perfect . Fresh clean unique flavors .My favorite dishes were the fire water scallops and jam on toast for appetizers.For entrees the filet was cooked and seasoned perfect and the halibut was next level.For dessert we did the banana chocolate bread pudding . But the best part of our experience was BRAXTON .Our server was an ABSOLUTE ROCKSTAR ON EVERY LEVEL. I mean just stellar .He wowed us in every way possible .Ask for him and prepare for an epic experience — eating dinner at Abiaka."

"The restaurant is gorgeous. The views of the palm trees, guitar and pool are very Floridian. The restaurant is very open which caused the noise to be very loud. Extremely loud. I ordered an Islamorada drink. Presentation was nice but the drink was too tart. Disappointing! The food was lacking seriously lacking. I had the seared scallops. Three undercooked and lightly seared scallops were served. The sauce lacked taste no flavor at all. My dining companion ordered the steak cooked medium-well. The steak was served rare-medium. The sauce was overly spicy. The roasted broccoli looked so delicious upon arrival to the table. Sadly the lemon juice was too overpowering. It was okay but did not taste nearly as good as it looked. Service was just okay. Our server was too busy socializing. The big rollers got the best attention. Why does it take over 20 minutes to bring the credit card and bill back to the table? Save your time and money in this disappointing dining experience."
