In regards to restaurants, the Diplomat is situated in Hollywood and IMO the best food choices will either lie in Fort Lauderdale (north up the beach) or Miami (further down south).
If you are in the mood for meat I would highly suggest Chima on Las Olas (Ft Lauderdale). It's an Argentinian Steakhouse, very good, but pricey, and reservations would be a must. If you are looking for a more casual/fun place hit up Opa (greek) which is just a few blocks from the Hotel and also on A1A.
Oh, also, right across the street from the Diplomat property is Nikki Marina. It's pricey but has some great seafood and you can eat sitting out by the water.

I must agree 100%, Chima is the shiznit. Love that place, havent been there in a few months. Opa is a fun time, if you go, the filet cubes appetizer is great, the fresh made humus is the best i've eaten.
A few other good places that arent to far.
Italian, If you want a nice small place with the best homemade style Italian food, Sarafina's is a place to go, they only have about 4-5 tables inside and sit another 7-10 tables out back right on the intercoastal. It's a few blocks east of sunrise blvd, about 10 minutes north of the hotel
Cuban, not very fancy and great prices. But the food is fantastic. Good place to have a big meal with lots of people. Las Vegas Cuban Cuisine on Oakland Park Blvd.
