Penrods now operates Nikki Beach locations in South Beach; St. Tropez, France;
St. Barts, Guadeloupe; Marbella, Spain; Puerto Vallarta, Mexico; and Sardinia,
Italy; not to mention upscale Miami restaurants Pearl and Satine and, yes, even
legendary Fort Lauderdale watering hole the Elbo Room. So it was only a matter
of time before the Nikki brand name started slouching slowly from the south to
leave its indelible mark upon Broward County. Nikki Marina is the result of that
slouch. With complimentary docking for boats and yachts, seagoing patrons can
simply roll in for the Sunday all-day Bloody Mary specials or the Friday two-for-one
drinks, and then stagger back to their vessels. The rest of us can have our cars
taken by valet or parked in a garage. We recommend you stay just for the drinks.
Dinner entrées range from $16 for ravioli to a staggering $42 for a 14-ounce
steak. But if you want to see and be seen, Nikki Marina, like Nikki locations
around the world, is the place to do it. Now, get in line behind the velvet rope
and start begging the doorman for entry — if you’re a guy or a homely
girl, that is.
