Coral Springs isn’t particularly the heartbeat of the culinary world, but don’t tell that to Keith Blauschild and Dena Lowell who, after running a successful catering business decided, upon their clients request, to also open a restaurant. The stylish spot is packed on any given day and is definitely worth the drive. The Cook and The Cork will be offering a Crave GFL menu on Wednesday and Thursdays with dishes like ginger barbecue pork tenderloin with wasabi mashed potatoes, grilled black Angus bavette, and grilled salmon with an ancho cilantro crust.

Elegant and sleek, the $35 and $45 meals offered during Crave GFL for lunch and dinner respectively, will make diners feel they’ve won the culinary lottery. Go for the smoked trout with tomato, cucumber, and horseradish cream, spiced duck breast with curried lentils, and shishito peppers with bonito and black truffle ponzu. Dessert features a passionfruit liquid gold tart served with lychee-perilla sorbet and torched meringue.

This waterfront steakhouse is worth a visit just to gaze at the mesmerizing jellyfish tank alone. And contrary to its name, Steak 954 offers a wide selection of seafood dishes like the salmon crudo served with smoked avocado puree. Meat doesn’t miss the mark either and the petite filet mignon with charred broccolini, roasted cipollini onions, and watercress chimichurri is the perfect example. Wrap up the night with vanilla buttermilk wanna cotta served with cherry compote and sunflower brittle. Available Sunday through Thursday for dinner only.

For Crave GFL, diners can enjoy dinner specials that include herb focaccia, spicy avocado tomatillo dip, and ceviche with pickled peppers and pineapple. Entrees like beer battered fish and chips, scallops with braised mushrooms, and skirt steak with bone marrow and truffle Yukon puree appeal to all tastes. End on a sweet note with cheesecake with strawberry lime jam and donuts served with a white chocolate banana rum sauce.

While the main focus of Etaru revolves around the ever-popular robotayaki grill, there’s plenty more to be in awe of from sushi to tempura to dumplings. Meals can get on the pricey side, making Crave GFL the ideal opportunity to experience the dishes with its $45 tasting menu that includes items like black kampachi sashimi with yuzu truffle, sweet potato tempura, beef, ginger, and sesame dumplings and scallops with yuzu mayo. There’s also the Etaru dessert platter, an assortment of all things sweet in the restaurant. The tasting menu is available Sunday through Thursday for lunch and dinner and requires a minimum of two people.
