ferent restarants and judged the restaraunts on quality of the food, service, presentation and finally the style of the restaurant. Based off of these categories, I went ahead and rated the overall expirence I had on a scale of one to ten (ten being the highest). I tried to make sure every restaurant had a fair advantage, therefore I went to restaurants I had never been to before. After I went to these restaurants and judged them, I went ahead and added the scores. Based on these scores I listed out my top five restaurants. The restaurants I went to were Siam Nippon which is a Thai restaurant. I went to Flanigans, which is known for their seafood dishes. I made sure I went to KanPai, they are known for their outstanding sushi. I went to Chops Lobster Bar and they ship their lobster from Maine all the way down to Florida. I wanted to make sure I went to an Italian restaurant as well. There is a fabulous Italian restaurant located in Mizner Park called Trattoria Romana. I also went to Dubliner, which is an Irish Pub locater in the center of Mizner Park.
1Flanigans I went to Flanigans and ordered a salmon dish. It
was fresh and the best piece of fish I have ever had. The service was outstanding, my waitress was quick and accomadating to my needs and wants. Flanigans is some what of a high end restaurant and I was there for a little over an hour.
Nippon 2Siam Siam Nippon is located in West Boca and is a Thai
restaurant. This Thai restaurant is known for its pad thai. I got the chicken pad thai and it was delicious. The noodles are very thin and how the dish was presented looked fabulous. The service was quick and the inside of the restaurant was fancy, but the prices of the food were low for what the restaurant looked like.
Romana 3Trattoria I love Italian, therfore I figured why not go to an
Italian restaurant and incorporate them to the list. Trattoria Romana is an amazing Italian restaurant. I order their gnocchi alla vodka and the dish was outstanding. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce was nice and creamy. Trattoria Romana is located in Mizner Park and is on the high end side for pricing.

3KanPai KanPai is a Japanese restaurant, but more specif-
ically, it is a sushi restaurant. When I went their I noticed it was another fancy restaurant and almost looked like Siam Nippon. Personally, this restaurant was on their higher priced side, not as high as Trattoria Romana, but it was close.
4Chops Lobster Bar When I went to Chops Lobster Bar, it was a busy Friday night in Mizner Park. The service was good at first, but as the restaurant got busy, the service started to get worse. I ordered the Maine Lobster dish, it was the dish they are best known for. The food was great and thre atmosphere i n the restaurant was fabulous.
5 Dubliner Irish Pub
Dubliner is an Irish Pub located in the center of Mizner Park. The service was fair, it was not great. I ordered fish and chips and it was outstanding. The batter was not greasy and neither were the french fries. The fish was also cooked perfectly. The tables outside had chalk on them, that way kids could draw on the table.
