36 Best Cocktail Bars near Lauderdale By The Sea

“It’s rare that I give 5 stars to a restaurant, but here it is. Obviously it’s not high end, but it is an awesome casual-chic Mexican restaurant (especially for a franchise). Taco Tuesday is definitely the best time to go to take advantage of the specials.
I will say that the trio I ordered (chips with salsa, queso and guacamole) was a little pricey for what it was, but everything else was a great value. Shoutout to Tyler who provided the best service ever and Steve the GM who checked in on my group. Will definitely be back!

Oh, and great music ;)“

Antonio provided outstanding service throughout our visit. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, gave excellent recommendations, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever being overbearing. His friendly attitude and attention to detail really elevated the entire experience.

“Casa Calabria is one of our favorite hidden gems in Fort lauderdale everytime we visit, but Dominic makes our visits truly special. His warmth, kindness, and genuine care makes us always feel like family from the moment we sit down. Every time we're in south Florida, this is the place we go!! Dominic goes above and beyond with every detail—perfect timing, thoughtful recommendations, and the kind of hospitality you don’t forget. Dominic turns every great dinner into a memorable night. We’ll definitely be asking for him every time. ❤️🍝 The atmosphere is unforgettable and addictive! It's like youre in Italy in Fort Lauderdale, and that's what we were looking for! Everyone greets you with a smile. The food- is amazing and we have tried it all! Dessert and coffee is top notch and you can tell it's homemade. This place is authentic, fun, and very family friendly. We recommend this as a must try in Lauderdale, and recommend Dominic if you want a family oriented vibe! Tell him Cooper & Carson sent you!! And call him Domino 😊“

“We had the BEST experience at Proof in Wilton Manors. From the second we walked in, the atmosphere was incredible — stylish, welcoming, and just such a fun energy. We even had the chance to meet the owner, which made it that much more special. You can truly feel the passion and pride behind this place. And let’s talk about the food. Every single thing we ordered was outstanding — beautifully presented and packed with flavor. What really impressed us was how amazing the gluten-free options are. Not just one or two safe choices — actual thoughtfully crafted dishes that feel just as indulgent and exciting as everything else on the menu. That’s rare, and it matters. If you’re in Wilton Manors, this is a must. We’re already planning our next visit.“
