Everything here was absolutely amazing! Top-tier service, 5-star food, and a beautiful, fun atmosphere! The vibe was sexy but not clubby since the crowd was 35+. I celebrated my birthday here with my husband and highly recommend this place. Whether you are going for drinks, to meet people, or to celebrate an occasion, you’ll enjoy yourself.

We purchased NYE tickets for open bar 9-midnight NYE 2023. They sold the perfect amount of tickets! We had a table outside. And there was never a line when we went to the bar. Super friendly bartender. Fun dancers! Overall a really perfect spot to celebrate NYE w/ friends.

Miss leading information. We reserve trough Yolo Instagram account to finally realize that we were not at Yolo. No food service. Also, stated that a complimentary champagne toast was supposed to be give at 12 but nothing. And no champagne or wine available all night. I was a fan of Yolo restaurant but because of this false advertising I am really disappointed.

After having dinner at YOLO decided to check out the O Lounge next door. It is small inside and it gets packed, well at least the night we attended (Santacon). Drinks are good, dj is okay, it was a nice vibe. If you don't like tight spaces this place is not for you unless you get a section, my only issue was ppl dancing and bumping me all night, other than that it was pretty good

It was a rough start to my birthday celebration. When I arrived they told me the table I reserved for five people had a $375 minimum. I asked to speak with the manager regarding why this wasn't disclosed during the reservation process. The manager never came out but the server returned a few minutes later and said there wouldn't be a minimum. After that the server did a good job and sent a complimentary birthday dessert with a sparkler. The kitchen had several misses. Twice I was served food containing onions although the server previously informed them of my allergy.

I met two friends here for a Saturday brunch. We sat outside, the weather and atmosphere were lovely. A fun place to be in a Saturday. The restaurant was active but not full or busy. Our waitress was attentive and knowledgeable. We ordered drinks which were as expected. Next we ordered appetizers —- calamari and vegetable ceviche—- which sounded interesting but were overly drenched in spices and sauces, hiding any flavor or texture of the main ingredients. The calamari was stuffed into a cone shaped dish. We didn’t finish them. I ordered Eggs Benedict with arugula and was able to substitute heirloom tomatoes for the prosciutto, which I appreciated. The muffin was small and dry and cold. The poached egg was cold. The tomatoes were definitely not heirloom. And the tablespoon of arugula was wilted, as in old. The presentation looked as though I was at Denny’s. My friend’s pasta was also cold and uninteresting looking. We ordered chocolate cake which was fine. And coffees which were…very cold. Also, it is 2023. Even Dunkin Donuts will have nondairy milks available for coffee. Oy.

This restaurant is a must visit if you are in Fort Lauderdale. We went for dinner and the food and service were both amazing. Loved the decor!

We enjoyed the atmosphere, the food and drinks was good. Was there celebration my birthday, a gentleman bought me drinks asked to server what I was drinking. Prior to paying for the bill the server (sadly I don't remember her name), she bought out a donut tree with a lit sparkle I was so surprised. That was so thoughtful it made my birthday even special.
... so get here before inflation makes an unfortunate, and completely unnecessary, impact on your wallet. I visited this establishment on a Tuesday evening five minutes after happy hour ended (Mon-Fri 4pm-7pm). I was still happy I went and had a happy time on a solo outing on business travel. Due to the inside dining room being fully booked, my only choice on this very lively Tuesday evening in November was the outdoor patio. I sat near the Burning Tree which was a first time for a restaurant. Their reasoning for the burning tree is to symbolize their efforts to continually evolve as a restaurant in striving to provide the best dining experience as possible for their customers. I happily enjoyed The Smokey Rye ($15) as my drink of choice. This was a cocktail with Bulleit Rye whiskey, vanilla, chocolate mole bitters, and served with smoke treatment. Very nice. Due to inflation, this drink will now cost you $17. For my dinner meal, I had a simple Trout plate ($28). It was very delicious but didn't come with any sides, just the fish, unless a couple small purple flowers count. I don't think they do, but at least they looked colorful and pretty. If you want a side and something of subsistence with your meal, you'll have to order it a la carte like I did. I picked the Black Truffle Potato Gratin ($9). It was okay but no need to rush out for. I wouldn't ever order it again if I happen to return. Personally, I think $9 was a little too pricey for potatoes, but hey, you only live once, so what do I know? Bottom line, I got the impression this was a place to show off wildly, overpriced vehicles that people want to display in front of the restaurant in the valet area to overcompensate for some personal insecurity. Be careful not to get too carried away in showing off meaningless material things and catering to the one percenters crowd. There's a thin line and delicate balance in successfully providing a value experience to consumers of all kind. Tip for evolving to the restaurant owners: remember that every customer that shows up at your business is special.

Super cute spot for a date night or w/ friends ! It wasn't too full for a Thursday night but as the higher went on it got a lot better ! The music was great and the location is beautiful The calamari for appetizer was delicious , so flavorful and for entree we had the churrasco with the truffle potato's and the corn which was also so sweet & delicious. Ever in las olas , would definitely recommend

A great big "Wow!" We snagged a last-minute reservation on the final night of our Fort Lauderdale getaway and so glad we did. This just might be our new favorite dining spot! Outside and in--stunning...warm, welcoming, interesting, lots of look at! Our sever, Jonathan, was wonderful and the menu had so many tempting offerings!! SO glad we ordered the octopus in a unique preparation that was delicious and unexpected. All of our dishes were above and beyond. The unique drink menu allowed me to create my own Gin & Tonic with various flavors of tonics and add-ins. Have I gushed enough? This is THE place to eat in Fort Lauderdale.

The bartenders need some serious work in this place, at least one of them. I had a girl serve me, I believe her name is Danielle, who has one of the worst attitudes I've seen in awhile in Fort Lauderdale. Pours drinks super weak, and for the price you pay here, it's almost theft at that point. Gives you an attitude the entire time, like she's too worthy to be serving the customers there. Asked some other patrons there about her, and they all had nothing good to say about her either, so I decided to try and let this place know about her behavior.
