Review: House of Caviar and Fine Foods in Fort Lauderdale

December 5, 2015 by Olivia Lancaster Leave a Comment

Updated September 2026. Bemka’s House of Caviar and Fine Foods remains a Fort Lauderdale–based caviar and gourmet specialty business (retail/wholesale), with an online presence via houseofcaviarandfinefoods.com / related Bemka storefronts. As of this check, public contact pages still list the SW 3rd Avenue Fort Lauderdale address near the airport corridor.

This article began as a 2015 tasting note from an Art Basel–week sampling event — paddlefish, hackleback, and other roes on mother-of-pearl spoons and blinis. The sensory takeaways still hold as a friendly intro to trying caviar, but treat product availability, pricing, and store hours as things you confirm directly. We are not publishing invented hours or prices here.

What to know before you go / order

It is primarily a specialty foods / caviar retailer experience, not a full-service dinner restaurant.
Call or use the official site for current retail hours, pickup, and shipping cutoffs.
Ask staff for storage and serving tips if you are new to caviar.

A Taste of Florida Lager by Florida Beer Company

August 23, 2012 by Jess Wilson 1 Comment

Light 2026 note. When we first wrote about Florida Lager, it was under Florida Beer Company (Melbourne-area roots). The brewery later continued in the Space Coast orbit under the Carib Brewery USA banner, and the easy-drinking Florida lager tradition lives on in their lineup (often seen as Sunshine State / Florida lager styling). Availability on South Florida shelves rotates — check your local bottle shop.

Our original tasting note still fits the style: a golden, approachable craft lager with malt-forward comfort — a friendly “starter” Florida brew beside hoppier local IPAs. Pair with backyard cooking or a low-key Intracoastal sunset, not a homework assignment in beer snobbery.

Curious what to eat with that pint? Drift over to the Eating in South Florida guide.

Historical review with a branding/continuity note. Confirm current beer names and tap lists with the brewery or retailer.

A’dam Good Bar and Grill’d – Coral Springs (Archive)

July 29, 2012 by Jess Wilson 3 Comments

Archive note (updated September 2026): A’dam Good Bar & Grill’d in Coral Springs appears in multiple directories as permanently closed. The University Drive space has since been associated with other concepts. This page is kept as a historical review snapshot, not a current recommendation.

Our original 2012 visit notes (UFC night, kitschy Americana décor, mason-jar drinks, and the goat-cheese quesadilla) remain below as a time capsule of what the spot felt like then.

Historical review (2012): Last Saturday I went to A’dam Good Bar & Grill’d with my sweetie to watch the UFC 149 fight. The drinks, atmosphere, and food made the night — projectors on oversized screens, quirky Americana décor, salads in tortilla bowls, tomato bisque in mismatched mugs, and that memorable “A’dam Good Quesadilla” with goat cheese.

Looking for somewhere to eat now? Start with our updated Eating in South Florida food starter guide and always verify current hours on the restaurant’s own channels.

Status based on public “permanently closed” listings at check time. If the brand reopens elsewhere, confirm independently — we are not asserting present-day service.
