New American Restaurants near Dania Beach, FL

“Stopped by on Easter Sunday for a nice lunch with our family. The food and atmosphere were great and our servers, Chelsea and Ana, were wonderful and attentive to our table. Our son was thrilled they served buttered pasta on the kids menu. The key lime pie was amazing! Thanks for a memorable Easter! ❤️Kid-friendliness: Good options on the kids menu!“

“This restaurant sits in the Marriott hotel by the airport in Dania Beach, FL. It's large, bright, clean and has a really nice outdoor terrace. Randa is so sweet and makes really good drinks. I wasn't sure what I wanted to drink and she asked me what I liked and said she'd make something good for me - and she did! I ordered the quinoa bowl with shrimp and it was delicious and filling. If I find myself back in the Dania Beach/Ft. Lauderdale area, I'm definitely staying at this hotel and dining at Radiant 166.“

“What was already a pricey buffet went up $5 per person recently. As buffets go, I'd rate it as fair. As far as hot food (in chafing dishes) there's usually 2 or 3 choices. A fried or baked fish (the lightly fried cod was outstanding this evening) meatballs in red sauce and one other Italian dish (like chicken parmagiana which is usually not great), a variety of potato, nice blend of roasted veggies. There's a nice fresh shellish area with shrimp, mussels and clams. A "salad type" station with potato salad and 2 or three other items. The stir fry station rotated out. One of my fav's. Excellent fall off the bone ribs, chorizo and roasted veggies at the hot food serving area. Desserts are mediocre and the 3 basic ice cream flavors. Service usually attentive and friendly, but then again, it is a buffet.“

“I visited Cooper's Hawk recently and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. My server, Melissa, is what made my experience really great and all while managing multiple other tables. Her customer service is impeccable. Can't forget that smile either. When I go back, I'll definitely ask for her!“

“Last time, I gave this place a good review. Now, not so much. As a local, my friends and I laugh at how bad the bar service is. It's like they go out of their way NOT to make eye contact. I just sat at the bar for 10 minutes, with a dirty bar in front of me and never got service. Bartenders have no sense of urgency. Staff needs a good wake up call in our collective opinion! Happens over and over again...“

“This place is amongst the best places to eat in the area. Everything about the place is 5/5 stars. The hospitality, the food, the atmosphere…chefs’ kiss.Celyne recommended the salmon and gyoza and I couldn’t be happier with going with her rec. Devoured everything on my plate ?“

“We really enjoyed sampling their tacos! I want to come back and try more. The Angus beef taco as well as the shrimp taco I tried were my favorite! The chicken and waffle was okay but not as solid as I was hoping for. Super fun idea through. Reminded me of Bruxie from Southern California.Vegetarian options: They have a section of tacos that are Vegetarian but likely many could be made vegetarian as well.“

“My favorite restaurant in Fort Laudy! Food is amazing! We had the hamachi, the branzino, the fries with clams, the oxtail and the marrow. All delicious! The margarita was great and the wine pairing options were really good! Definitely the best flavor in “

“I lean on reviews when determining what restaurants to visit when traveling for work. GG’s was rated #1 and I understand why. Actually came here 2x during my 3 day stay as we enjoyed it greatly. So much to love: service, food, ambiance, sunset, the yachts going by…a wonderful experience. The restaurant manager and waitress were superb.“

“Not your basic brunch! Delicious, flavorful and beautifully presented. Fat Stork is my go to for an amazing omelette. Also their burgers, tacos and salads are so yummy, they leave me craving more. And they have one of the best french fries I’ve EVER tasted. Even if you’re not local, it’s definitely worth the drive. You WILL NOT be disappointed.“

“We had an amazing evening out on the patio with Laurie, our server, who made our experience even better. Laurie’s wine and food recommendations were top-notch and, even when her section was very busy, she stopped by to make sure we had everything we needed. Thanks, Laurie, for looking after us so well. We look forward to seeing you again!“

“Amazing! Our waiter, Abraham, was the Best! The Manager, Bruce, is spot on! All staff had smiles on their faces and super friendly! Food was awesome, especially the crab cakes! This is a model of what Restraunt Dining should be! Glad We chose to spend our 16th Wedding Anniversary here tonight!“

“I think our servers name was Eric. He did an amazing job. The food was 10/10 I would definitely come back. He was wearing a blue shirt and blue socks. Older gentleman who did a fantastic job taking care of us. He was knowledgeable and pleasant. Thank you crab cakes scoobies jerk wings oyster Rockefeller and my virgin daiquiri.“

“My boyfriend and me came here to celebrate my birthday! It was a memorable moment! On top of the delicious food that both asked for; Lobster Ravioli and Branzino, we had the best service that anyone could ask for. Sheila, our server, was amazing: professional, sweet, attentive, and smiley and I hope she is recognized for the marvelous treat she delivers to her customers! Thanks Sheila, thanks Divieto! Your prestige is well deserved ♥️?????♥️“

“We were at American Tapas for a wedding dinner event tonight. The food was so fresh and absolutely delicious. We got to taste many things on the menu because it was an event. Each new item came out perfectly timed. Not all at once and the dishes were plentiful and delicious. There was nothing cheap about their food. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. We were served dish after dish. The wait staff were so accommodating and very friendly. This restaurant is clean, new, modern, and a great place to go for couples, friends nights out or any night to be fun and special. They have a full bar. They also have live entertainment. The gentleman at our event tonight played guitar and sang for almost a full 4 hours. How is fingers still strummed the strings and his voice didn't give out I don't know. But he was exceptional also! Overall, this is going to be my go to place and I would highly recommend it . : side note. The owner from Brazil himself is very involved in the dishes that come out and the recipies. Thanks guys for a wonderful evening!“

“We found this new fast food that typically would not be a place we would frequent. We can’t stay away from here the fresh food, delicious choices and plenty for me to choose from being I am a pescatarian too! Their salmon is cooked perfectly the right size, too, sweet potato noodles to die for and top off the kale slaw and that is my go to on each visit! But now let’s talk about their friendly staff! From Day 1, no matter who waits on me is always pleasant and I usually have my favorites; here, there are many I just met the new General Manager, Justin Schwartz, I have to mention how I met him. I was speaking to a Team Member on the line when I overheard someone earshot away answering my question about the salmon. To my surprise he overheard me and chimed in to let me know how they rotate the salmon often and we hit it off right away. The team members: Caleb and Samantha and most others have been so hospitable they are definitely doing something right here. We continue to come frequently too many to mention so this will suffice! Delicious food!“

“I love primanti Brothers I've been going there for the past 30 years. Late nights munchies some of the best sandwiches you will ever put in your face hole. And the pizza is top-notch. A great place to people watch especially like after a Friday or Saturday night when the Clubs let out and all those drunken fools come tumbling in and stumbling around.Kid-friendliness: It's located right on sunrise boulevard and A1A across the street from the beach. It has great outdoor seating and there's a really killer tie fusion restaurant upstairs. Can't go wrongWheelchair accessibility: I believe there's enough room to utilize wheelchair inside. It should be comfortable enough unless it's slam bam packed“

“Short and sweet here. I will say if you're vegetarian, there's like no options besides the giant pancake that I highly recommend. Apparently there was a veggie burger that i did not see, so i can't give perfect advice here. Coffee man... there's not really any coffee that hurt, felt like I was coming into an Ihop with breakfast styled food but no real coffee. Anyway the service? Man, these ladies were trying so hard to keep the disappointment from me from spiraling just her excitement and positive attitude helped not dislike this place entirely.If you're gonna get anything, get the pancake! Best advice I can give.“

“The environment is very good, the food is ok, and the menu for lunch and dinner is different. It's close to the beach. Let's go for a walk after eating and remind them that their toilet is broken. I wonder if it has been repaired now! ?“

“We went for an early dinner on a Tuesday and it was easy to get in. I'd definitely come back! Pictured are the "Bell & Evans Roasted Chicken" and the "Filet Kabob". Both dishes were extremely filling. Our waitress was also very attentive and kind.“

“This evening after work drive down to Ft. Lauderdale dinner with a friend. Well worth the drive time and expense. Atmosphere and guest service was second to none, Jonathan with the glasses ensured our plates stayed full and glasses never went empty. Each team member treated us as they passed the table managers checked in several times. Finalizing the meal with grilled pineapple was the best ever.“

“From the beginning to end hands down was the best place of great food to be from the greeting entrance to our server Valerie she’s amazing very courteous comfortable confidence she got orders correct the kitchen staff played a great part in this as well they cook to perfection and I cnt forget about the large quantity of dishes that came out it was left for sure this is a great place to come“

“First time here for dinner. This place is very famous for a wide variety of wines. I did not have any. I had the blackened ahi tuna. One of the most delicious ahi tuna I have ever had. The place is very popular so a reservation is recommended.“

“The manager was super nice I observed that he was very kind to the employees and shows that he cares about them and customers. I wish all managers would be like him . It as Feb. 1 about 820pm . It got busy and he handled it very well they all were like one big happy family. The employees staff were very kind and polite. I highly recommend this location ???️?️?️“

“First of all my entire pregnancy I craved their version of eggs Benedict and their delicious coffee. Almost every Sunday for months you could find me having brunch there. They have a charming Dj and a fun atmosphere to enjoy your meal on Sundays. I also love that you walk through this almost garden like scenery for outdoor eating in the front.“

“The best grilled cheese I've ever had! What a great experience throughout.Went to get lunch somewhere new and I'm so glad I found this spot. The staff members were welcoming and the food was freshly made.Such a gem right in the middle of Wilton Manors. If I had known sooner, I would have frequented this restaurant!“

“Local gem tucked away in small shopping plaza located on Commercial near Lauderdale By The Sea. The food and ambiance were top notch. You walk in and your immediately transported to a speakeasy inspired venue space with some of THE BEST PIZZA I’ve had the pleasure of indulging in. Better than NY pizza hands down and I’m from NYC. The edges of the crust were crispy to perfection with a beautiful focaccia like interior. Make sure you order the “Ba Wit Da Za” hands down my favorite! The bartenders and servers are just as cool as the place is. Fun, edgy, full of energy and super knowledgeable on their menu. The Chef there really knows what he’s doing. A stellar experience, cannot wait to try another pizza! Every time I go I plan to try a different one, they had so many to choose from!“

“I love love love Borsalino! Food is always on point. Super delicious and so flavorful. Presentation is spot on and the staff and owner George are all fantastic! Great little spot with beautiful decor. We've had just about everything on thr menu and we keep bringing more and more friends and family so they can also experience this beautiful gem for themselves! Thank you Borsalino team for always treating us like family and amazing food every single time!“

“This is one of my favorite Coopers Hawk locations. The staff is friendly and the food is always great, sometimes I go by myself and just have a soup and salad or even just a salad. I love their shrimp crab lobster bisque, they don’t skimp on any meat. Their salads are always fresh, I’m a sucker for a Caesar salad. Food is so delicious I forget to take a picture of it before I start eating ?. My favorite appetizers are the chicken potstickers and the over the boarder egg rolls. You won’t regret getting a wine club membership either, there are so many amazing perks with the program.“

“Service and food was excellent, I stay at this Hilton regularly and it’s nice to have a first class restaurant right down stairs. The staff are efficient and friendly and the food is consistently high quality. I definitely recommend giving it a try whether you are visiting the area or are a local resident!“

“Service and atmosphere was great the main course not so much. Very pricey . The one good thing was the bread pudding. The waiter was super nice and suggested the drink and dessert I had. They also had an amazing DJ that played great music and it was a very nice chilled vibe.“

“Small family orientated hidden gem. Amazing couple duo. The absolute best breakfast in South Florida. The service and CONSISTENCY of the food is incomparable. Found this place by mistake and I'm surely becoming a regular. Carlo is such an amazing chef that we must be grateful to have him in such a casual atmosphere. Thank you Lise and Carlo I truly appreciate the both of you.“

“Really enjoyed our experience here. The staff was so personable and friendly, the food and drinks were quality and delicious. We sat on the front patio which was a fun vibe (though occasionally noisy from honking cars or the train). They had great happy hour deals. Would recommend!“

“As a local Google guide, I had the pleasure of visiting Mia Oceanfront Restaurant in Hollywood, Florida, and I must say, it's a hidden gem worth sharing! One of their standout dishes is the traditional Russian Borscht soup, a flavorful and comforting delight that I can't get enough of. The service at Mia Oceanfront is top-notch, the food is simply fantastic, and the entertainment adds to the overall dining experience.What sets Mia Oceanfront apart is their thoughtful amenities, such as their dedicated kids' room where children can play and have fun while parents enjoy their meal—a brilliant concept that offers a stress-free dining experience for families (it's like free babysitting!). This was my second time at Mia Oceanfront, and I absolutely love it. Whenever I crave good Russian cuisine, Mia Oceanfront will be my go-to spot without a doubt.If you're in the mood for delicious Russian fare in a welcoming atmosphere, Mia Oceanfront is definitely the place to be.“

“I've lived in Fort Lauderdale for over 4 decades. As long as I can remember, Primanti Bros has been my go-to. Get the sandwich, get the slice. Blind drop a finger on the menu, I guarantee you'll love whatever it lands on. Thank me later.“

“I had a reservation at 5 pm. I was seated right when they opened. The crispy duck was amazing, and I loved the cherry gastrique. The staff were friendly and we enjoyed talking to them about the food and desserts. My friend had the snapper, which was perfection as well. Afterward, we had two desserts, the apple cobbler cupcake. I was blown away by it because I love apple pie. This was like apple pie as a cake. We also had their cinnamon roll with apple as well. Loved the texture and balanced flavors of the roll. Icing was perfect. Not too sweet.“

“An incredible amount of fun and I had a grouper that was by itself enough of a meal for two people also they have live music live band Live dancing a definite mustParking: Preload pay by phone makes it easier with a charge card to find a parking space and just click a button“

“The place looks great, very clean and well decorated! Their staff are amazing very friendly and helpful! Food was excellent and delicious! Their sushi is well built and the flavors are very, very good! I felt in love with this little gem of sushi here in sterling Rd. Thank goodness is very close to home and I will definitely comeback over and over again!! Kudos to the chef, keep up the great job!Parking: Located inside a shopping mall giving access to plenty parking spaces!Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair access is not a problem here!“

“This place was a real surprise. I made plans to meet a friend for dinner, and we were looking for a place near The Parker before the show. Temple Street Eatery showed up in a quick search. Let's start with the basics. You get in line, order at a cash register, pay for your order before you get your food, and it's delivered to your table. This isn't the place for you if you want table service (and the corresponding tipping experience). However, if you love great food, fair prices, and a funky low-key atmosphere, check it out. Parking at most places is usually challenging, but there was ample parking here, even during dinner hour. Delightful for sure. We started with a couple of different dumplings; you can get small plates with just two, which is fantastic if you like to try different things. We ordered the veggie dumplings which were lacking flavor. However, the shrimp dumplings were amaze-maze! I ordered the Goszilla Ramen with rice noodles; you can have different types of noodles; I like gluten-free. OMG, this was mind-blowing. Really, really great. My friend had the Spicy Miso Ramen, and wow, she actually didn't speak for like 3 minutes. If you knew who I was talking about, you wouldn't believe she could be quiet that long. Now, chips on the table here, it's about a half hour ride from my place. I am lazy and hate driving in traffic (duh, you live in where?) so if I tell you that I would make a special trip just to eat here again, T R U S T M E - it's worth it. There are no tablecloths, no entertainment, no fancy shmancy stuff, just eat-as-fast-as-you-can, great food. Word to the restaurant - Your prices are fair, and I appreciate great food at fair prices. Please don't raise them because I'm really cheap and even I would come back, drive a half hour to eat with my blabber mouth friends here - just cause the food is dope. Cool?“

“Very kind staff and exceptional service. Our party of 4 was late and they were still able to accommodate us. We went for a friend’s birthday and the waitress (Stephanie) and manager (Dustin or Justin) ensured that her bday lunch was unforgettable. They went above and beyond and we were very satisfied with our delicious meal. We recommend trying the Goat cheese croquettes, Korean friend chicken bites, Sushi, and their Chocolate blondie & Coconut cake. The cocktails were also very good! Especially the Coconut Breeze and Yuzu Ginger Mule. Thank you for the great experience!! We definitely will be returning :)Parking: Parking is hard to find at the beach, so make sure you valet park at the attached hotel and the waitstaff will give you a voucher to get a discount. Valet is $8 for brunch and $10 dinner. This is worth it compared to paying around the same or even more at one of the public beach street parking, which can take forever to find. Valet is the way to go!“

“Food is amazing and the drinks are good. I’m really here looking out for the girls that wear heals. The floors are SUPER slippery. Please be careful if you’re in heals, get yourself some of the grip things for the bottom of them. It’s a hazard.“

“Tonight we visited Lettuce & Tomato Gastropub in North Miami and I have to tell you, they don't miss! From the service to the delicious food, this hidden gem is serving up one of the best dining experiences in South Florida. The ambiance of the restaurant is relaxed and modern but gives you the feeling that you are in a quaint eatery in South America. For our first course, we tried the Braised Shirt Rib Bao Buns and the Crispy Shrimp Bao Buns, these were both so good that if the meal stopped here, we would've been satisfied. The flavors on these come together for one of the best bites of food I've ever had. For our entrees, we had the Filet Mignon Steak Sandwich, a melt in your mouth tender filet served on a crunchy baguette with tomato aioli, lettuce, tomato, and onion. Simple but so delicious! But this Au Jus and Truffle Burger was an experience that was unexpected and incredible. This perfectly cooked burger of the highest quality, the beef was the star of the show, was topped with shallot confit, truffle aioli, white cheddar cheese, and served with a peppercorn Au jus for dipping. This is a burger you have never had and I assure you, you will never forget it. We finished our meal with creamy cappuccinos, the decadent Bread Pudding and a delicious Almond Tart, both served with homemade vanilla bean gelato. Overall, we loved Lettuce & Tomato and will go back many time in the future. Cheers!“

“I love this place! Everything is so delicious! I love all of the different options they have and I try new bowls every time I go. It’s hard to get my husband to eat healthy, but not here. I definitely recommend eating here and it’s one of my favorite lunch spots I visit weekly!“

“I had a great time celebrating my birthday here for brunch. The atmosphere is great, being able to view the water and yachts outside is all the vibe you need. There is even live music! I wasn't a huge fan of the food but the drinks are great! If you and a friend like to drink, get the patron margarita tree! Thank me later.“

“This place has a variety of food. I love the Salmon Carpaccio and a side of Avocado plus a drink! ? Outdoor seating is the best, you can watch sports right at the bar or from the tables around it. Great atmosphere and service! If u don't find parking, u can always park at the shopping plaza, It is one of the best sports bar in the area! ✨️“

“You can come and have lunch with the pre-fixed menu, it comes with an appetizer and a main course with drinks such as iced tea or soda, coffee or dessert of the day...or if you prefer to go in the afternoon to enjoy a family dinner with friends or book to enjoy your birthday surrounded by those who enjoy your company and order that bottle of wine ? and toast to life.“

“We are trying all our local joints and are really happy with discovering Tap 42. Riley kicked butt as our waiter, the food was excellent, and my margarita was made fresh ingredients and delicious. Riley absolutely charmed our 3 year old and was well versed in the beer selection so my husband got the perfect beer.“

“Loved the breakfast buffet! I ended up eating here with my kids every morning by of vacation because it was the best and quickest option. We all loved the food each day, and I loved the attentive staff and great selection of food. Highly recommend if staying at the Diplomat.“

“Hospitality, unlike any other, first, I thought it was a hole in the wall but once I walked in, I was treated with the upmost respect and the birth of in Miami no doubt. Prices unlike any other and I really appreciate the love I get when I come up here Definitely visiting again.Parking: You good here. It’s awesome. Always space and happy hour on taco Tuesdays. $2 tacos and they’re to die for #yum“
