New American Restaurants in Fort Lauderdale, FL

“Checked out this great restaurant last night. The food was magnificent. Wow!! Everything was so tasty and the flavors melded well. Please check it out. We had the Jerk Plaintain, Thai style Charred cabbage salad, which had some great tasting pork, sweet and tangy wings and the Thai style crab fried rice. Can’t wait to go back and try the snapper.“

“We absolutely enjoyed Moxies. It was first time here and the food and cocktails were a 10/10. It was our birthday dinner my sister and I and she said I picked a great restaurant. We made a reservation to be seated on the patio but it was a little breezy so we asked the waitress to be seated in the inside without an issue. We really enjoyed ourselves. We will be back!!!“

“Manager Travis at the Cherry ST in Tulsa Oklahoma- was so knowledgeable- answered all our allergy questions and was patient and also was able to explain what was on each taco Food was fresh and very good and tasty! Velvet“

“Our waiter Eric B. was absolutely spectacular- warm, attentive, and incredibly serviceable throughout our entire meal last night. He made us feel genuinely welcomed and taken cared of, going above and beyond with every detail. We truly appreciated Eric's hospitality and will definitely be coming back because of him!“

“We had breakfast on the veranda. I’ll give grace for the construction work; I knew about it before choosing to eat here. The circular saw use was a bit loud, but it was only a quick startle.

The food was good but my eggs Benedict and potatoes were cold and the eggs were borderline runny even for “soft”. My husband’s omelet was a bit light on add ins, at a $1 a piece.

Waitress was friendly but a little slow on coffee/tea refills. I did appreciate the offer of a to-go coffee.“

“We are regulars at this restaurant, and recognize that there can be one experience out of many, and this was it. Although the restaurant was not anywhere near full, our server and her trainee seemed busy elsewhere and never check back for beverage refills. The vegetables that were served were undercooked. The filly cheese steak flat bread had a lot of onions and very little meat. Also, in an almost empty restaurant, harsh vocal music was playing at an extremely loud level that made it almost impossible to hear a conversation across a table. This is not typical for this restaurant which in the past has generated an excellent experience.“

“Naked Farmer Las Olas is a gem!
The food is fresh, flavorful, and you can really taste the farm-to-table quality. The roasted veggies and charred chicken were spot on, and everything felt clean and satisfying. Big shoutout to Kayleigh—she made the whole experience even better with her great recommendations and friendly vibe. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to!“

“Brooke was fantastic, fun environment. hugh portions. great night“

“Great place for dinner & dancing. Food surprisingly fresh and good every time. Charging extra for a PIECE of bread with my salad, NOT COOL! I get inflation, but seriously, and especially since we were a table of 6 drinking & eating!“

“Great food and amazing customer service.“

“Service was excellent. Dinner was excellent. But...I'm not sure I will return.. TURN DOWN THE VOLUME for those seated inside. I'm not against background music (thumping noise?), but when the volume impinges on my ability to hear the person sitting across from me ... it ruins the evening. Pump the volume outside ... not inside!“

“Nice location on Las Olas!
The atmosphere is great, and the frozen Piña Colada did not disappoint. The menu is a bit limited, so I just had the chips and salsa—not really what I was in the mood for food-wise—but I did enjoy browsing through the connected Tommy Bahama store and got some shopping done. Overall, a pleasant stop!“

“Jenna the bartender is amazing ? love the curry dish, service is also ?? good. Little pricey but worth it.“

“On June 16, we went to Kaluz Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale to celebrate my mother’s 85th birthday. We are regulars at Kaluz to the point where we have the cell phone numbers of several employees. In a nutshell, Anthony, the manager, should not hold that position in a restaurant like Kaluz. My husband and Anthony exchanged words and Anthony’s solution to the issue was telling us, “You should not come back here. The owners do not want parties larger than five people.” My jaw dropped. I could not believe that a manager’s solution to an issue about seating us sooner, while we waited for two other people in our party, especially since my 85-year-old mother could not stand for long, was to tell us, on two separate occasions, that we should not come back. Anthony also put the entire blame on the owners of the restaurant. We go to Kaluz almost on a weekly basis, tip extremely well and have taken countless people there that have also ended up being regulars at Kaluz. No restaurant manager should EVER tell a customer, regular or not, to not come back regardless of the issue. Needless to say, we will not be going back to Kaluz as long as Anthony continues working“

“The food was amazing the servers are so nice best breakfast place I’ve been to in a while“

“amazing all the time! definitely a must“

“We’re foodies based in NYC and seasonal Floridians and this one of our favorites ! Last night our server Orin and Chef Ivan outdid themselves!! Everything was fabulous!! Great food and service!“

“Coconuts has consistently been my "Go-To" spot when guests are in town or a special occasion comes up. From the Drink Menu & Appetizers to Deserts and everything in between; they have always been spot on! Valet makes parking easy in the busy beach area, taking away the hassle of having to find a spot. The staff is always kind and courteous- I especially appreciate the mindfulness when I mention my food allergies. I'm confident I can order anything off the menu and not have to worry about an accidental contamination and reaction. If you go- don't leave without ordering the Scoobies and a slice of Key Lime pie!“

“Hole in the wall vibes, right off the beach. I LOVE the pizza, & compared to the other restaurants here the price is pretty affordable. Most authentic pizza I’ve been able to find in America. The crust is a perfect combo of floppy & crunchy. & even just the cheese pizza is super yummy! Service is amazing & super friendly.“

“My husband and I started going to Mya Papaya a few JJ the ago and now we are there a couple times a weeks and bringing friends. I am a newish vegan and love the extensive vegan and omnivore choices for families like ours!“

“We started with the guacamole which as always was delicious. The sweet potatoe chips that come with it are a must try. The west coast steak sandwich never disappoints. The kale slaw they put on it makes this sandwich hard to beat. Our friends had the chicken kebabs which are also fabulous and a nice size portion. My husband had the meatball which he loved. The only sort of negative thing is I would not go back on my birthday. Not that I need a free dessert but its a nice touch that they don't do. They did put a candle in the dessert we ordered but a small free scoop of ice cream or even a small dessert not on the menu goes a long way in my opinion.“

“I love all the choices that you get to choose from to put in your bowl. And everything is so fresh and delicious! My favorite sauce is the basil pesto. It is exceptional! Tim and Phil provided exceptional service this evening for our meal. We will be back!“

“Great spot for fast casual food!“

“Jason was absolutely the best ever ty for an amazing first experience at this establishment“

“Lenore is the best chef 👩‍🍳 and her care for her clients is amazing. She is delightful and does an excellent service teaching people to cook“

“This is my go to for delivery of great New York style pizza. The big pizza is huge!“

“This was such a neat experience and the food was delicious!! We came to celebrate my birthday and all the staff went out of their way to make it feel special. The portions are a great size! We were all full. The bread inspired by sour cream and onion chips was the best bread&butter I’ve ever had. The soup was my favorite course - it was different and insanely yummy. Would love to do this again!!“

“We were so impressed with the menu choices, how nice everyone was & how delicious our food was. They definitely take so much pride in the food the serve. We will definitely recommend this restaurant. Our server Raanan was the best! Thank you for treating us like family 😊“

“This restaurant is exceptional! we went with our family after our civil ceremony and their service was beyond expectations. they made every effort to accommodate us as we found them very last minute and the weather turned rainy and windy suddenly. we wanted to sit outside, and they reserved the table without hesitation and then afterwards accommodated us inside when the rain started. They were so attentive, courteous, and made sure we were all taken care of. they had live music with an excellent singer who was talented and played with our kids and sang with them. the hostess Sally, was kind and sweet and very attentive!. Michael was a great server as well. ! all of them were great! the food was superb! great tasting with many options and excellent quality. thank you so much for making our night special. I will highly recommend this restaurant.“

“My go-to place in Fort Lauderdale! Amazing fish tacos🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Scenic views on the rooftop. Great decor. Highly recommend!“

“Ocean view restaurant delivers top notch cuisine with fresh and generously portioned dishes. The service is exceptional -friendly, attentive staff ensure a fantastic dining experience. Highly recommend!“

“I have been cruising for years and our group usually stays at the 4 point hotel. The place has totally upgraded its service. Very clean and nice bartender. Lisa was really nice and personable. She certainly knows how to make delicious specialty cocktails. We will definitely be back.“

“Great food at a really good price. The server was more than helpful in finding something I’d like and telling me a bit about the restaurant. The bbq is not smoked in the traditional sense. Rather it is cooked over a wood fire and gets its Smokey flavor from that.

Either way it is delicious and I will be back.“

“Ashton was so friendly and welcoming during our check in process! She didn’t even know but it was my 30th bday and they brought a complimentary bottle of wine for me once I checked in! Very unexpected but appreciated. Would recommend working with Ashton!!!“

“This is the third time I have ordered from Pelican Wings and things. We have ordered wings from many other places and by far- these are the best. They are good sized, meaty wings and are perfectlyCooked. Will definitely be ordering from here again.“

“awesome drinks great atmosphere.“

“Surprisingly good for a hotel restaurant!The service was great, the waiter gave us desserts on the house.The bar mixes up some really great drinks too, their happy hour is well worth it if you’re staying at the hotel.Their brunch is also very good. A lot of fresh cooked variety, cooked to order.“

“Always a great time breakfast, brunch and dinner.“

“Hostess was a little snappy. Waiter was top notch. There was a very loud and rowdy group behind us tho and he offered to move us but said they were leaving soon. Thank goodness they did. When went to the bar after for an espresso, the bartender was great.“

“We just had a lovely thanksgiving lunch at Shooters, hosted by Sarah and served by Jesse. It was a wonderful experience from start to end, and we are so thankful for their friendly and kind service. Legends!“

“We attended the special brunch for Easter at the Marriott Harbor Beach ballroom. Upon entering the ballroom lobby, we were immediately greeted by a dessert buffet that was beautifully decorated and showcased a large array of dessert choices, some too pretty to eat! Once entering the ballroom, there was a duo playing the perfect dining music setting the tone. The ballroom was set up with food stations representing everything from snow crab claws, shrimp & oysters. Charcuterie stations displayed a great antipasto selection and every choice was absolutely fresh and delicious. Table decor & decor at the various food stations was lovely and ideal for Easter. Candy peeps peered out from the grass utilized in the centerpiece at each table together with hidden wrapped chocolate. There was an omelet station with cooks attending, & continuous buffet tables with fresh fish, & vegetable dishes, & carving station with lamb, prime rib, and ham. The servers were fantastic, continuously clearing our table between courses and attending our every need. The cost of this event is higher, but for a holiday I would highly recommend. The food was delicious, fresh and well prepared. Inside ballroom, or outside patio seating was offered.“

“Love staying here! Great place! I wish the rooms were slightly bigger but overall great place!“

“As always it is a wonderful dining experience when we go to Marti's New River Bistro. I am SO SADDENED to know that it will be the last brunch that we have there. Your server Joey is absolutely the best, sorry to say we did not have him on Saturday and the one we did have was a little ditzy. But in spite of her we had a wonderful meal and a great time. I only wish it was not closing.“

“Service is fast. Food is consistent. Close to home and the price is right! LUV CPK!“

“Literally driving from Dallas tx to FLL for these wings as we speak. Every time I come to Florida I stop in here. In love.“

“Always fun vibe hanging at bar.“

“Have a drink, and/or lunch by the pool. Very relaxing environment. The lunch menu is limited, but the choices are solid and the quality is great. I went with the grilled fish tacos and was completely satisfied. The wait staff was perfectly efficient without being overbearing.“

“Nice place. Not the place to go for a quick basic drink. One Hennessey cost me $19, I should have asked first smh.“
