“Food was great beer on point“

“FOOD WAS HOT AND DELICIOUS!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!“

“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 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.“

“I can come her for a quick bite, or go all hands in with their crab boil. I love everything here. Even when it’s super busy I am greeted quickly and seated quickly. The service is great but the server Kiki is better than great. Every restaurant needs a Kiki server like her.“

“We celebrated my husband’s birthday at Daniel’s Steakhouse in Fort Lauderdale, and it was absolutely unforgettable. The steak was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and every bite on the plate was bursting with flavor. The ambiance was elegant yet relaxed, with soft lighting and a serene private dining space. Our server, Nina, was wonderful—warm, attentive, and professional. Even the managers stopped by to check on us and make sure everything was perfect. From start to finish, the service and food were pure perfection. The red velvet birthday cake was the sweetest finale to an incredible night. Daniel’s truly delivers a five-star dining experience in every way.“

“The food was good I had the crab cake it came as one big serving with a lot of crab, for dinner I had the shrimp stuffed crab it came as 4 medium size shrimp stuffed with crabmeat. The dessert I had the banana butter cake it was phenomenal!!!!!!!!! With vanilla icecream the cake was warm and went great with the icecream!!!!! It was really good!! Oh and our server name was Alison she was magnificent!!!!!!!!“

“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“

“Every visit to E41 makes me feel like I’m back in Peru. It’s great to have such authentic food close to home.

Rafaella, our server, and the rest of the staff were super attentive and we’re very happy with our experience.“

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

“The paring are always the best. I look forward to this every month. I have been at every one of them and they have been successful. This week's pairing was excellent, the food choices were superb the drinks third and fourth were a bit sweet but still enjoyable. I think this is one of the best parings I've been to. Please continue having them every month. This is where me and the girls come and vent and talk trash and have a great time.😂😂😂“

“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.“

“GOOOOOOOOO!! NOW gooooo..I promise you will not regret it. The octopus is delicious, the yuca fries are out of this world the way they do them (different luxurious), the whole fried fish is outrageous 😋..

The dips, chimichurri, the red onion slaw (thats the nane i just made up) was craaaazy good omg I could eat that slaw on anything lol..cereal cool, cake why not, lol ...ok joking! But you have to get that red onion slaw..
Please try it out, ENJOY 😉“

“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“

“Awesome you need to go and try this place“

“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.“

“Back at Blue Moon Fish, Lauderdale by the Sea.
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 !
Book your table.“

“Real Florida seafood served with casual laid back feel. The service is always friendly. This is my go to place year round, can’t beat it!“

“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 place is fantastic. Great food, staff and patrons.“

“We got the lunch special catch of the day and it was delicious. The fish and chips are amazing too.“

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

“Excellent food in a casual feeling restaurant overlooks the pool and ocean“

“I primarily visit Whiskey Neat - Plantation. I really enjoy the ambiance, and the staff is always attentive. Great place for a variety of Old Fashions … Highly recommend visiting and you won’t be disappointed.“

“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.“

“This company is located at the Yellow Green Farmers Market in Hollywood FL on Sheridan St. booth #640….don't get Ceviche from any other Ceviche places there. I ordered the Classic Ceviche, and was not disappointed! It was fresh, and delicious! The owner and his wife were very friendly and provided very good customer service. They make the ceviche fresh to order. I will return, and recommend this restaurant if you happen to go to this Farmers Market. It’s not right at the entrance but worth the walk thru!! 👍“

“great service and food. our waitress was attentive and food delicious. sad they didn't have the drink I wanted but overall a great place“

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

“Best Jamaican food in Fort Lauderdale right now“

“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.“

“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!!!!“

“great wings cooked exactly the way you want“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Alejandro was an amazing server and had a great time with our table. Food was great, but one of the items was out and we had to request something different. Not Alejandro's fault and he made sure we were only charged what we actually ordered. Would definitely go again!“
