We had a late dinner at Sotogrande in Fort Lauderdale with a group of 10 friends, and the food was really delicious — everything we ordered was well prepared and flavorful. The waterfront location and rooftop atmosphere make this a great spot for group dinners or entertaining guests.
Unfortunately, we didn’t have a great experience with our server that evening. That said, the general manager handled the situation professionally and made things right by inviting our group to the rooftop for champagne after the restaurant closed, which we appreciated.
Overall, it’s a beautiful Fort Lauderdale waterfront restaurant with excellent food and a great setting. We’d return, especially knowing management is attentive and cares about the guest experience.

The food was all overcooked so it wasn’t good and they don’t take cash??? The drinks were expensive, but great. Our server was very good so I tipped the server in cash so this place couldn’t interfere with that part at least. I prefer to use cash so I won’t be back here. Hopefully they will get the food part right, it’s actually not that hard to not make EVERYTHING well done. Oh, valet only so if you want to self park it’s not an option. I explained to the valet EXACTLY where the key card was, then the manager grabbed me as we were entering the restaurant and asked me for the key card??? Typical American service that folks get everywhere these days. Nobody listens, nobody has a clue and nobody can make a decision. Next Thanksgiving we will cook at home. And a restaurant this expensive there it should at least be an expediter in the kitchen. It checks the food before it goes out.

Sat at the bar for dinner and drinks on a busy night. The atmosphere matched the excellent food and service. If this restaurant was in the town I live in I would be a regular for sure.

1st visit! We sat at the bar. The atmosphere is beautiful. Very upscale boho vibe. Our bartender was Christina. She was amazing. Her recommendations were very helpful. We loved the Greek wine she offered us a taste of. We ended up getting a bottle. She nailed it. The daily catch was triple tail! Rare but the absolute best! You have to try the RASPBERRY PASSION VACHERIN for dessert. Best dessert I have ever had. Will be back for sure. All staff engaged & were very friendly. Everyone was smiling.

We had a great time checking out the Harbour Hour at Sotogrande! The views here are awesome, especially at Sunset. And the food was so good! The menu is inspired by the ancient trade routes and travels around the Atlantic Coast of Southern Spain to the Eastern Mediterranean. My favorite was the Keftedes, which is Lamb, Tzatziki, Tomato & Mint, eaten with pita bread.. So good! The Sangria was delicious as well! Might be the best I've ever had! Harbour Hour is a great time to come try out Sotogrande! The deals are too good to pass up!

From the moment we got to the restaurant until we left it was an amazing experience. Ambiance is great, peaceful atmosphere and elegance that way I like it. The hostess fantastic and our server super attentive and charming. Every single person that worked there and passed by us smiled. You can tell that they love working there and that gets transmitted to the clients, we had the manager come to our table because we were interested to go to the rooftop after dinner. Food is spectacular, we had three different dishes all amazing! Everything about the experience was wonderful.
You don't have to stay at Pier 66 to enjoy this restaurant. Are you bored with another steakhouse? Over the top so-called dining experience? You desire a uncomplicated simple dining experience? I would say this restaurant fits the bill. Our dinner consisted of appetizers and a salad. We came away satisfied. The old term is true, a picture is worth a thousand words, below you will find real photos off our dining experience. I would definitely visit here again. In fact look for me you might just see me here.

Sotogrande is conveniently located in Pier 66, offering amazing views and breathtaking sunsets. The menu is Mediterranean-inspired, and despite our server’s recommendation of the steak, our favorite dishes were the catch of the day and the lamb. The desserts were delicious, especially the Basque cake. What truly surprised us was the quality of their wines. They have some wines specifically imported by one of the owners, and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality. We will definitely return when the weather is cooler to enjoy some bites and their delicious wines. We also recommend making reservations since they are a premium location inside the resort, and seating may be limited. Ambiance 5/5 Service 4/5 Food 3.5/5

SO GOOD! I've been so excited to try this new place on the water in Ft Lauderdale. It well surpassed my expectations.... especially the staff - Wow, they made sure that our group fully understood the menu and brought everything out at just the right time! We were there celebrating my son's 30th birthday and it couldn't have been more perfect! Food was delicious, drinks were fabulous and the ambience was relaxed and extremely welcoming.
