This time I tasted the Maine Lobster Chitarra, a half Maine lobster with squid ink pasta and calamari. It was excellent.
This is the reason why I keep coming back to this place so often. This time, Big Jim was our waiter. Very efficient and friendly.
A great place to have nice bay front dinner !

“Good food for dinner too!“

“I hosted my baby shower at Oceanic and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The Southern Room upstairs was the ideal size for our 40 guests. Spacious yet intimate, with such a beautiful atmosphere and access to a private balcony overlooking the beach. Our event coordinators, Casey and Maria, were incredible to work with throughout the planning process. They were both organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in making everything seamless.

The buffet options were fantastic, our guests are still raving about the chicken and waffles, and the donut hole bar was such a fun and delicious hit. On the day of the event, Bobby and Amanda went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. They were attentive, helpful, and truly made us feel taken care of.

We’ve received so many compliments from our guests about the food, service, and overall experience. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate such a special day. Highly recommend!“

“Whoa! I want to start by praising my server, Clarissa, for providing the greatest service. It was incredibly tasty in every bite and sip. A true reproduction of Peruvian cuisine, really. Everything was perfect, including the food, service, and menu. I had a typical pisco sour and cebiche a la brasa; if you enjoy cebiche, I heartily recommend it! I'm going to return and tell everyone I know about Manta. Fish tanks, beautiful design, and good music. Bravo to the wonderful personnel and chef!“

“I just celebrated my birthday there today 04/17/25 and it was exceptional. Wonderful staff, beautiful ambience. The food is great. I will be back.“

“First time here for Mother’s Day dinner and our experience was excellent. If you get the chance to have Robyn as your expert (she is so
much more than a server), you are in for a phenomenal experience. We ordered the burrata and steak tartar as appetizers. For our meal, we had the scallops, Parmesan Sole, truffle Mac n cheese and crab fried rice. Every single thing was amazing. The Parmesan sole and Mac n cheese though may have been 2 of the best things I’ve ever tasted. We were truly blown away. Our 17 yo son was with us and got to experience a culinary experience like no other.“

“Good food and high class restaurant. I recommend 100%“

“Tonight my wife and I had two guests , one from out of town , and we spent a few hrs on the boat. We stopped here for dinner and it was packed. A server named Allie came over and checked to make sure we were on the list.When we were seated Allie took great care of us and the meal was great !!! Entrees, drinks and appetizers all great - price was surprisingly fair“

“My 17 yea old had the whole Pampano and loved it!“

“Lucky’s Fish is exactly what you want from a Florida beachfront spot with nothing but good vibes and even better food. The staff was great, with multiple people checking on our table, and sitting outside in the sun under a shaded area made lunch with the family feel special. My fish sandwich was top notch, and the coleslaw on the side was tasty without being too heavy on the mayo. My mom’s salad with pineapple was delicious and not overly sweet, and my wife’s chicken sandwich was super juicy and full of flavor. It is hard to imagine Lucky’s having a bad dish because everything we saw coming out of the kitchen looked like something I would order too.“

“Last night was my first time here. The food was great as well as the service. The fried snapper, lobster macaroni and cheese, and tempora shrimp sushi roll were all delicious. Can't wait to come back!“

“Visited from the UK, absolutely stunning place to visit, the outside could do with a bit of a makeover, but the inside and harbour were stunning. Everyone was so friendly and the food was delicious.“

“Everything was fantastic And manager Kevin very helpful Will go again for sure“

“food here is amazing they not missing an great service!!!!“

“Best seafood in Ft. Lauderdale!!“

“We loved our food with great service! The mussels in a garlic marinara sauce were the best but more bread to dip would have been appreciated. I had Broiled Scrod with garlic roasted green beans topped with roasted red peppers. Others had broiled scallops, shrimp scampi, fish and chips. The fish dishes were delicious and being from Eastern Canada on the seashore, we were more than delighted to have had such great seafood in South Florida! Kudos to the Chefs and Kitchen Staff!! Have been here for 4 months and it was my preferred place for a meal. The portions were more than plenty! 5 stars to the Dania Fish Grill. March 09, 2023“

“Highly recommend! The location, the food, the service, everything was fabulous!“

“I have males and females puppies available for adoption send me a message thanks“

“Wonderful selection of fresh fish for lunch!“

“We had Kristie as our waitress. Service and food was amazing! I recommend this spot for dinner, brunch, or lunch! Will be back soon! Thank you again“

“Hooks Catch Seafood in Coral Springs delivered one of the best casual seafood meals we’ve had in a long time. Everything arrived hot and seasoned just right—flavorful without being salty. The team working there is genuinely kind, and we even had the chance to meet the owner’s son, who was just as friendly and welcoming.

The blackened catfish was absolutely perfect, cooked with care and great flavor. The French fries deserve their own mention: crisp, clean, and cooked in their own dedicated oil, which means no contamination and no heavy salt. The chicken was just as impressive—hot, juicy, and full of flavor.

The restaurant is kept clean, including the bathroom, and they offer drink refills, which is always appreciated. Hooks is the kind of place where the food is great and the people make it even better.“

“This is my wife and I go to spot on the weekends.. Great place for weekday happy hours also... Food is amazing.. Big portions and drinks are made to perfection.. I highly recommend this spot to anyone who's in the Deerfield Beach area.. Please go see Diana at the bar! She's the best bartender Ive had serve us in long while! Great place to pull up after a day out on the boat because they have a marina too! We love this place!“

“Our favorite local spot! Order the dolphin key west sandwich!! Thank me later. Whale chips and ask for extra whale juice 😉 (it’s their homemade honey mustard) 10/10 we always recommend The Whales Rib for a laid back delicious dinner in Deerfield Beach.“

“We had a great meal here. We visited on a Monday night and Drew was our server. He was very attentive and great with our kids. We had the brick chicken, vegetable skewers, and kids grilled chicken with vegetables and coconut rice. All was tasty and we ate every bite. Our drinks were great as well. The atmosphere was lovely - we had a beautiful breeze from the ocean a block away and listened to excellent live music.“

“H2Oceans offers a diverse menu, which includes the freshest of seafood, prepared to perfection at reasonable prices! The restaurant is sparkling clean, the ambiance is cozy, and there is also live music every Thursday, as well as for special events, out on the covered patio. Without reservation, I highly recommend this neighborhood gem.“

“Great location food and atmosphere! Right on the beach.“

“An area of Food truck vibe restaurants. Masons famous lobster rolls were definitely a solid choice. If you a craving a lobster roll hot or cold this is a great stop. I wouldn't say they are actually famous though. There was nothing special about the lobster roll. Just a good classic roll with a good amount of lobster. I would absolutely go back for one. My wife and I split a cold and a hot. I preferred the cold she preferred the hot. I thought the hot could have used a touch of salt.“

“Top Tier Restaurant and Lounge is awesome. Had lunch there the other day and it was excellent. The steam fish was excellent with rice and peas and bami. It was very good. Service is great and the owners are terrific. The best part is they offer evening events which offer a fun great atmosphere. Top Tier is a fitting name!!!!“

“Today 7-23-22 2 pm out door deck late lunch Our waiter was Marcelo , he was so sweet, patient and helpful, he made us feel comfortable, not rushing us , Thank you Marcelo awesome time.“

“This is the second year that we choose to take photos and enjoy the panorama of the sea and enjoy the delicious food. I recommend it.“

“Nice place to hold an event. Service is great“

“During our stay at the Ritz Carlton in Fort Lauderdale, we had dinner at the Burlock Coast Restaurant located within the hotel. The food and service were spot on. There is both indoor and outdoor dining. We enjoyed some cocktails and shared a few appetizers, including the shrimp cocktail. After that, we took a lovely walk along the beach, which is right across from the restaurant.“

“Great food and service. Not like all the other Thai food in South Fla. Much better. And definitely upscale . We have been going there forever. I think at least 20 years. If you desire top quality Asian food in a beautiful upscale place, Thai Spice is your destination 😋“

“We stayed at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa for 2 nights - we had 3 meals at Council Oak. Once in the dining room and twice at the bar. All I can say is WOW. The food was excellent and the service was the best I have seen in years anywhere... Everyone was attentive.. Smiling.. Made us feel like they were there for us! My wife and I are still taking about it. Great Job!!“
