t’s easy to see why Dr. Jane Therrien at Weston Family Eyecare is continually voted Best Eyecare Specialist. She is dedicated to preserving the gift of sight through comprehensive vision care and specialized procedures which are an integral part of her practice.

Dr. Therrien specializes in pediatric optometry, specialty contact lens fittings, and the treatment and management of ocular disease. She offers “state of the art” eye care in a warm, caring environment.

This includes the use of Wave Contact Lenses and Orthokeratology. Wave lenses are custom designed from the patient’s corneal “fingerprint” to create a custom lens that follows almost every tiny shape of the cornea. This precision offers unrivaled comfort and sharper optics. Orthokeratology, or Ortho-K, is a revolutionary, reversible, non-surgical therapeutic procedure for temporary vision correction. Custom lenses gently reshape the cornea while the patient sleeps, allowing users to go all day without needing glasses or contacts.

Dr. Therrien is a board certified Optometric Physician who received her Doctor of Optometry degree from Nova Southeastern University. She is a member of the American Optometric Association, Florida Optometric Association, and the Broward County Optometric Association.

avor the delicious flavors of Peru at Sabor Latino. The popular lakeside restaurant specializes in authentic, home-style Peruvian cuisine with a focus on freshness and flavor.

Many of the menu items may seem familiar to Weston diners. That’s because Peruvians eat a lot of fusion food; there is a strong Italian and Chinese influence such as the Tallarin Saltado, a Peruvian-style chow mein. The menu also features many classic Peruvian dishes such as the causa appetizers, which feature stuffed smashed potatoes, as well as fresh ceviche.

Regardless of what you order, rest assured that it is prepared using only the freshest ingredients possible. Peruvian cooking is very healthy. Most of the food at Sabor Latino is grilled and everything is made-to-order. Traditionally, Peruvian food is very spicy, but the restaurant will prepare it mild if you prefer.

The food is not the only thing that is hot at Sabor Latino. It is the place to go for live entertainment in Weston, with diners dancing into the wee hours of the morning on weekends.

a Rural Argentine Grill serves the best steaks this side of Buenos Aires.

The steakhouse started as a small grocery and butcher selling premium cuts of Certified Black Angus Beef. It began with one table in the back and quickly grew into a full-service restaurant. While you can still shop its gourmet market, La Rural now offers a complete menu of Argentinean-style steaks and fine wines, along with a selection of Italian dishes.

The house specialties include the Entraña (skirt steak), Vacio (flap meat), and the Gaucho’s favorite, Asado de Tira (short ribs). For a true taste of Argentina, try the Tablita La Rural. This grilled sampler platter features Chorizo Argentino (cured pork sausage), Morcilla (blood sausage), Mollejas (sweetbreads), Salchicha Parrillera (pinwheel sausage) accompanied by grilled peppers and marinated artichoke hearts.

La Rural’s famous empanadas are a great way to start any meal, or top one off with one of the restaurant’s authentic Argentinean pastries for dessert. The ambience of this intimate establishment is further enhanced by the restaurant’s waterfront dining. La Rural is open for lunch and dinner every day except Tuesday.

What they’re Saying “When we relocated back to Florida from abroad, we had very specific, unconventional needs for our dream house, and Wendy worked tirelessly, creatively, optimistically, and enthusiastically until we found The One. Every showing felt less like going out with a realtor and more like spending time chatting with a friend!

We will recommend her again and again!”

The Herthel Family

“Wendy sold our home in Weston and helped us purchase our new home in Parkland. She made both sales seamless and easy. We depended on her expertise, persistence, and calm assuring attitude throughout the entire process.”

-- The Schapiro Family

“We were so glad to have Wendy as a realtor in Weston! Selling a house can be a stressful experience, but Wendy took us by the hand on every single step of the process and her patience, attention to detail and market knowledge made us feel calm and confident we were getting the best possible deal.”
