The place was packed and tables were so close together, you could hardly move. The noise level was very high and you could hardly hear each other talk. I ordered a Sam Adams Boston Lager and the waitress told me they had it. When they came back, I immediately could tell by the color that it was not what I ordered. The waitress then proceeded to tell me first that it was what I ordered and then told me “well, it says lager”! I ended up just drinking water. I have never had a good experience here and only went this time because my friends needed an air conditioned place and they chose it. I cannot think of anything good to say. Slow and poor service, noisy, outdated and no space between tables.

We had a lovely lunch on the beach! We sat outside and the fans made it very comfortable. The famous Bimini bread was good, but I’m not sure what makes it famous. My husband and I had the blue crab dip, conch chowder, and seafood Alfredo. The crab dip was excellent! It’s not like some places where you can’t taste the crab. There’s a lot of crab in it and I had a great flavor! The chowder was good too! I think the best thing though was the seafood Alfredo. Whatever the fish was in it was to die for! It was so tender and had an outstanding flavor! The shrimp and scallops were cooked perfectly and the whole dish was wonderful! The ambiance was great too!

I had visited Lauderdale by the sea several times and had seen this restaurant , but never actually tried it before. I finally did and I don't regret it. It has great food, nice waiters and the place has a really good energy. If I come back to fort Lauderdale I will definitely come back to this restaurant.

Basic Costco foods nothing excited it’s just pre-fabricated nothing fresh everything is fried or frozen the staff is adequate

Very crowded with dim lighting but the food was great. Best fish tacos ever. Service was slow but suppose due to so many people.

Aruba is a must visit. Food is always good, especially the fresh fish and conc fritters. View is amazing. Service is generally good, but they are waiting too many tables at once. Drinks are good but overpriced. Just a classic restaurant with a lot of bars, people having too much fun, and live music. An overall experience to say the least!

Cheap beers, good service first day, second day was served by Lauren who openly insulted us at table

Really enjoyed this place again! The view of the water was so nice from our table. Our food was very food, and our drinks even better. Excellent Mojitos and Excellent Margaritas. I really enjoyed the AHI tuna appetizer. My wife is vegetarian and enjoyed her meal as well.

perfect place to go if your looking to feel uncomfortable by their manager, Don Bookman. I heard a few racist remarks from him towards one of his foreign employees. I feel was just inappropriate and unacceptable, especially for me to hear them while I’m dining at my table . Then in the private room they have there was so much food that had just been sitting there for hours no attention was brought to it the smell of it was disgusting and it was so unsanitary. The Ladies room was a pig stock for them to have not been very busy at all that afternoon. Finally, to top my experience off the hostess never gave me my change for a shirt I bought that was $22 I gave her 40, of course I was going to tip her but she went missing for 15 minutes after going to “get change” I believe I overheard one of the hostess say her name was alexia or Alexis

My buddy travels all around the Caribbean. When we made arrangements to meet in Florida, he stated this is the best place to eat, drink & have a good time! He grossly understated his recommendation! This place is beyond phenomenal! The service is the best ever! The good is even better! And the drinks.... You will not be disappointed! I started with a regular sized mojito, it was the best I ever had! When I jokingly as my server for a larger one, she mentioned they have a 44oz one and asked if that would be ok.... Hell yes! See picture! Now the food: Appetizers: Conch Stew - I now what angels eat in Heaven! Crab Dip - Hold yourself back, it gets better 1 dozen, fresh oysters - Best ever! Seafood quesadilla - It really can’t get any better, but wait.... Fried shrimp Regular & Coconut! We ran out of room in our stomachs for more food! Two full bars Seating inside & out! Parties! (Yes there was a full blown birthday party going on!) Singers. We will be back!
We ate here at least 4 times during our 10 day stay in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea. My husband is still talking about the j*** chicken wings and we both miss the bimini bread that we got every time! Blackened fish tacos, calamari, conch fritters and the blackened seafood trio are not to be missed!

We joined the view of the beach and the one man band! The food was plentiful and very good. They wiped down the tables right away after each guest. Their spicy dishes are really spicy which we LOVED. I highly recommend this place for friends, and couples. Although I saw children there I would not recommend it. The do not have disposable menus or a QRcode menu.

We got a seat outside right away on a Monday night about 5pm. Gets busy later on for certain. Good food and drink and fun love music on inside too!

Awesome waiter - think his name was graham - Food was ok. Unfortunately the hostess was just completely overwhelmed - and was not in a very gracious mood. We waited a very long time - substantially longer then quoted - and she really just gave up on trying. I blame management - weren't properly staffed to keep things moving.

Stopped here with friends. Got a seat with a great view of the beach. Located in the center of the action in this interesting town. Wife got a seafood quesadilla that was excellent and I loved my crab dip. Only negative was our waitress who had no enthusiasm whatsoever. Otherwise, fantastic!
