Restaurants in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea

“I have been coming here since they opened a hundred years ago. I had to meet my brother who lives in N.E. Ft Lauderdale and he suggested we go there for lunch.

An amazing operation where they have 5 people behind the counter in a production line making the food.

I like the Italian sub which comes in a Small 8" or Large 12" on White or Wheat Bread. Ham, Genoa Salami, and Cappicola, choice of cheese plus all the fixings.
Great”

“Amazing bowls and smoothies! Totally recommend if you want something fresh and tasty”

“This best brunch ever. The waitstaff is awesome and so accommodating. Love the men that work there tall and short. I love them. Always look forward to seeing them when we come for brunch.”

“We came 3 times last week ! (couple from Europe) We love your chicken pad thai SO much !”

“This place was awesome!! Took advantage of their lunch specials and got the chicken burrito bowl which was so delicious- and lite on my stomach for the beach. Daughter got a quesadilla from the kids menu, so we got out for under $40 for both of us- which was great price. Service was outstanding. Would highly recommend.”

“Great place close to the beach! Love their crepes! This place will be one of our favorites for sure! Highly recommend.”

“Highly recommend! Everything was fresh and delicious! We will be back!”

“I was visiting from NJ and looking for the perfect Florida beach vibe. It was a Monday afternoon so I wasn’t expecting much When I walked In the Aruba Beach Cafe just in time for the 4pm Happy Hour and saw the Salty Pirates Duo on stage, I had to stay to check it out. The food was incredible, as was the really friendly waitress. The Salty Pirates were awesome and a lot of fun. Looking forward to returning next time I’m in the area!”

“My husband and I have traveled all over Italy. He is a great cook, who rarely compliments most Italian restaurants in America, but thought this little gem was spectacular. The food was simple, fresh and delicious. A true Roman trattoria. Bravo Marco and Valentina. Will definitely eat here again!”

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Pier 14, and I can confidently say that it exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I arrived, the management staff made me feel right at home. Their attention to detail and commitment to guest satisfaction were evident throughout my visit. They genuinely care about creating a memorable experience, and it shows! The barge ders are an absolute delight. Their friendly demeanor and expert knowledge of the menu made our time there even more enjoyable. They were quick to recommend some of the best dishes, and I was blown away by their recommendations! Speaking of food, it was nothing short of incredible. Each dish was crafted with care, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. Whether you’re a fan of seafood, steak, or vegetarian options, there’s something for everyone. I highly recommend trying their signature dishes—you won’t be disappointed! The atmosphere at Pier 14 is simply magical. With stunning views and a lively yet relaxed vibe, it’s the perfect spot for a night out with friends or a romantic dinner. The ambiance is enhanced by the talented DJ, who spun an eclectic mix of tracks that kept the energy high without overpowering conversation. The combination of great music and a vibrant crowd made for an unforgettable evening. Overall, Pier 14 is a must-visit destination. The exceptional management, outstanding barge ders, mouthwatering food, and fantastic atmosphere all come together to create a truly remarkable dining experience. I can’t wait to return!”

“The original rum runner and a blackened Mahi Mahi sandwich after a day at the beach. Price is a little higher but fresh fish with a place with no freezers within a 3 hours drive? I’ll pay for that. Great job, awesome service. Nice day on local summer.”

“The food was delicious and reminded us of our time in Boston. We ordered the steak bomb and grilled chicken sandwich. The servings are big and decently priced. They do offer a chicken finger basket for kids. The chicken finger basket is 100% chicken meat and not processed. This is a big win for us. The only thing they don’t have there is fountain drinks.”
