“Decided to celebrate our 21st wedding anniversary at Eddie V‘s. Everyone was friendly and chef prepared a special complementary tuna app for us, it was delightful. We started with cocktails and oysters Rockafeller, Candy ordered the salmon with a bourbon glaze over carrots that was very flavorful. I chose the 10 ounce fillet that was cooked perfect, although I wish I'd added an accompanying sauce, and a side of au gratin potatoes hit the spot. We kept the evening off with the bananas, fosters flambé table side, the perfect end to a perfect evening. And I didn't even talk about the specialty cocktails and extensive wine list. Can't wait to return....“

“I can't get enough of this place; everything is fresh and tasty and the prices are good. I'm there at least once a week and drive a half hour for their mahi mahi. The lobster rolls are big and meaty and the shrimp is always prepared perfectly.“

“Had a wonderful lunch here. Their ultimate sauce was very flavorful and I enjoyed the spicy level most. There seafood was also very fresh, the mussels were large and juicy 😋Also a five-star revew for their Lychee cocktail. Kiki served the meal and she was very nice and helpful!“

“We had an amazing time thanks to Dee, the bartender and mixologist who truly made our experience unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, Dee was welcoming, professional, and incredibly talented. The drinks were on point—crafted with skill, flavor, and style. Every cocktail was a work of art and perfectly balanced.“

“Coconuts has consistently been my "Go-To" spot when guests are in town or a special occasion comes up. From the Drink Menu & Appetizers to Deserts and everything in between; they have always been spot on! Valet makes parking easy in the busy beach area, taking away the hassle of having to find a spot. The staff is always kind and courteous- I especially appreciate the mindfulness when I mention my food allergies. I'm confident I can order anything off the menu and not have to worry about an accidental contamination and reaction. If you go- don't leave without ordering the Scoobies and a slice of Key Lime pie!“

“My husband did great choosing this place for my birthday dinner last week! My friends had the Mahi Mahi, husband had the grouper, and I had the fish special with orzo/crab fritters. For dessert we had key lime pie and the icky sticky. The octopus appetizer was great also. I had a guava punch cocktail. All around an enjoyable experience!“

“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“

“Loved this place. Great happy hour specials. Peter took fantastic care of us.“

“I cannot even explain the wonderful time we have as a family from the moment we walk into Embarcadero 41 until the moment we leave. The food at this restaurant is exceptional and the service is above and beyond our expectations. Valleria ALWAYS greets us with her warm and happy smile making us feel welcome everytime we visit. The last time we came we asked for her to take care of us but we will not in her assigned table group so Rafealla was kind enough to let her help us they both did a incredible job at taking care of us together!“

“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.“

“I can't get enough of this place; everything is fresh and tasty and the prices are good. I'm there at least once a week and drive a half hour for their mahi mahi. The lobster rolls are big and meaty and the shrimp is always prepared perfectly.“

“The food was very good! I had the risotto with beef tenderloin, and it was delicious—rich, flavorful, and satisfying. However, I'm giving four stars because the portion of risotto was quite large compared to the amount of beef tenderloin. A bit more balance between the two would have made it perfect.“

“Awesome you need to go and try this place“

“Wonderful place with super yummy food!“

“Best seafood in Ft. Lauderdale!!“

“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!“

“Had a great time at lucky fish Beach bar and grill for several evenings while I was in pompano beach. Met some great people. We listened to the live music and dance the night away. Great drinks and great service. What a fun place right on the beach!!“

“Great Food Excellent Service & Extremely Classy 💕“

“Great Service from Daniel

I had a great experience at Hook Seafood & Wings thanks to Daniel, the cashier. From the moment I walked in, he was respectful, fast, and professional. He greeted everyone with a positive attitude, stayed focused even when it got busy, and made sure every customer was taken care of quickly and accurately.

What stood out the most was how patient and clear he was when explaining the menu or answering questions—he never made anyone feel rushed or ignored. You can tell he takes his job seriously and wants people to leave happy.

Definitely one of the best customer service experiences I’ve had in a while. Shout out to Daniel for holding it down and keeping the vibe solid!“

“These guys are THE BEST. Not only is the food just as amazing as it’s always been (I’ve been a semi-regular for nearly 25 years), but the staff and management are top notch. Recently my best friend passed and his brother knew he loved Catfish Dewey’s, so he wanted to have a dinner there with local friends, neighbors, and colleagues. I went in and spoke to Joe, the manager. He assured they’d make it happen and they did so, flawlessly and with great attention to detail. They managed a party of nearly 48 people in addition to their regular clientele, even bringing in extra staff to help with the event. These folks went out of their way to make sure this special event went flawlessly and it did. The waitresses, whose names I cannot remember (I told you I wouldn’t…sorry! Ha!) were amazing. Food runners, on point. Bartenders, outstanding. Management, excellent. There’s a lot of love and care in this establishment and it should be celebrated. There’s not enough of that these days. Support local businesses who care, especially those with GREAT food AND great people like Catfish Deweys.“

“Reservation was for 7:30pm and when we arrived we were immediately seated. Restaurant seemed bright for dinner service. 30-45mins into dinner they dimmed the dinning room. Drinks were ok but not to the level for this establishment. We ordered crab cakes and oysters Rockefeller. Oysters were great. Crab cakes were a little underwhelming. We went with the 50oz waygu tomahawk, medium rare, truffle mashed potatoes, corn pudding, cream spinach. The steak was amazing and almost fell apart in your mouth. Truffle Mashed Potatoes and corn were great but cream spinach was not and we did not finish it. I have to say that the service level was top of line and a highlight of dinner. All in all just a good dinner but not great especially for a Michelin Nod restaurant and the price point. There are better steak houses in Ft Lauderdale.“

“AMAZING!!! I'm not a fan of seafood, but I went to Kelly's Restaurant and was amazed. They have delicious food. They're also famous for their lobster. 100% recommended. The staff are friendly and attentive, always smiling. Jake in particular was very attentive. He's very sweet and has a big smile. Excellent customer service. Thank you.“

“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“

“We had the calamari, twin lobsters, ravioli, broccolini, all were fantastic! Fresh, tender, buttery, exceptionally WOW. The service was on point, food was warm, beers were cold. We were there on a Saturday, parking was ample as other businesses were closed, the spot is on the corner. We are going back for more and remember you can BYOB. Thank you.“

“We have been going here for 30 years. This is one of my favorite places to go!!!“

“A MUST! Great place with a great vibe!!!“

“I come here on Sundays and the brunch menu is so good. This place has a great conch salad. There’s a live DJ who’s awesome too. 10/10 recommend coming here for lunch!“

“Best seafood in Florida I recommend this place“

“Had the American burger. It was great. Ate at the bar and both bartenders were very attentive. Varied menu and relaxed atmosphere.“

“1st time trying fried pickles THE BEST!!!!“

“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.“

“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“

“Amazing ceviche, we requested the corvina ceviche we are Ecuador and Colombia and made our own at home, so we expect the best of hen we ask for a ceviche! this was an amazing ceviche, the service was amazing. I will definitely recommended to anyone to try it.Good job guys!Bruno y Anne“

“I'm not sure if my last review came through so I will repeat it. All of the reviews I've read on this place is what made me come here except for the ridiculously entitled people who complain about having to wait an extra 10 minutes. To attack a business because they're busy and they're doing their best to get you a seed is selfish and shows how much you think the world revolves around you. I wish they had an app that you can review the reviewer. I hope you get stuck in traffic for the next month. I hope the next time you have to crap in public The person that's in the bathroom before you has constipation. I also hope the next time you have a toothache The dentist gets a flat tire and makes you wait in the waiting room for 45 minutes. This is a great restaurant The food was very good The server was very nice never even paid attention to how long it took to see us I was actually kind of excited because the place was busy and I knew it was going to be good. I was not disappointed.“

“This is a great place to dine! Totally recommend it! Great costumer service thank you Omar & Mario“

“food was ok, thanks to our server Vicki she made everything better! Great service!! see her when u go!!“

“We went this evening after seeing a friend post the menu. WOW!!! We sat right at the bar and had the Drunken Mussels app, gumbo, shrimp poboy, and shrimp taco. What a GREAT meal. The staff was friendly and top notch. We met Chef Joe who obviously has passion, talent, skill and fantastic people skills and enjoyed chatting with him just as much as his creations. We went on a lark and we definitely will be back to try the other items on the menu... and we will be bringing our friends.“

“The best crab legs in Florida !“

“Ocean view restaurant delivers top notch cuisine with fresh and generously portioned dishes. The service is exceptional -friendly, attentive staff ensure a fantastic dining experience. Highly recommend!“

“First time coming here. I wanted authentic Chinese and I was not disappointed. The decor of the restaurant is very Chinese traditional with vibrant red against gold colored decorations and smartly adorned tablecloths. The food was excellent reminiscent of a large city china town. Service was excellent as well. Will definitely return.“
