The Ritz Carlton Poolside Café Ft Lauderdale

This is NOT a Ritz Carlton hotel!! You are killing a worldwide famous brand. This hotel has nothing to do with Ritz hotels around the world. It resembles a four star hotel in

Was told by the staff that they had easter brunch buffet so I made reservations with them the day before easter. When we showed up for our reservation time I found out that they don't do buffet easter brunch. They only do a la cart. This was terribly upsetting since as anyone know the day of easter to make reservations is impossible. I was lied to by the staff as to what they offered. So of you are looking for a buffet style for easter this is NOT the place to go to.

This is a great hotel with a beautiful pool that overlooks Ft Lauderdale beach and has a wonderful bar and kitchen. The burgers are great, so are the drinks and cocktails. Good gluten free (“gf”) options as well. We had burgers, fries and a Caesar salad - all good. Also good was the margarita and frozen rum drinks. The poolside chairs fill up fast - get there early! It can get windy, so they have to take down the umbrellas. Otherwise, plenty of shade - they’ve even got a ‘sunscreen bar’ with lots of options. Pool is on the 7th floor and requires keycard access. Attendants are very helpful, as are the wait staff.
