“We recently dined around Ocean2000 and had an amazing experience. We visited on Friday night and Jorge was our server. He was wonderful to us and made sure all of our food and cocktails were perfect. We had an old fashioned and the pelican breeze and they were both delicious. We ate the octopus, the beet salad, the cowboy with lobster butter and the pork chop. The food was excellent and perfectly cooked. The room was dimly lit and very romantic for our date night. The was a family in a more lit area a few tables away and we saw some patron eating outdoors near the sea. It was an amazing night. Thank you to Jorge!!!!! You are the best!!!!“

“Met friends at the outside bar! We had the famous Coconut Shrimp which were amazing! The service was outstanding! The ambiance was festive and upbeat! The young bartender was fantastic!! I'm sorry I can't remember his name. He made me a delicious Old Fashion with extra cherries! It was perfect! He made it with Knob Creek bourbon and I usually don't like Knob Creek but this was perfect! I highly recommend!“

“Had the pleasure of dining in at Anthony's Clam House. We come all the way from New Jersey just for the clams! Everything was excellent especially the linguine vongole and the Tuscan shrimp. The atmosphere is very nice. The service was awesome, we were blessed to have Angela as our waitress, she was a sweetheart. She checked in with us throughout the meal to make sure everything was good. 10/10 overall and I look forward to coming back!“

“Absolutely fantastic experience at 52 Seasons Fort Lauderdale. My friends and I were celebrating my graduation and had a blast. The food and cocktails were amazing and the ambiance was spot on. Our server Trevor made our experience incredible and masterfully handled our 11 person table (with different people arriving at different times) with ease and made our experience incredible. He explained every one of the desserts and answered every question we had about the food. My steak and asparagus was cooked to perfection. The lamb was not too gamey and perfectly savory. 5 stars across the board for this restaurant. Reasonably priced for the ambiance and food quality.“

“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 !!!

“Was looking forward to the Ceviche I had on our first night on vacation. I came back to have the Ceviche again a few days later since I loved it so much and the Ceviche was completely different. All shrimp…. Did not even taste like Ceviche. Was sooo disappointed. I wish they would have told us before we ordered or I would have gotten something else instead. Let your customers know if the menu changes. I walked through high winds and rain to come back to this restaurant before flying back home.“

“We had a great Mother's Day brunch there. We loved the food. Everyone was friendly and they even had a beautiful surprise for the moms! The service took a bit to get its act together, but then did a better job after some initial hiccups. Very cool restaurant at a boutique hotel.“

“Really a hidden gem. We were hungry after a day at the beach and searched the web. We ended at this delicious place were the food is SO GOOD and so fresh. We were so happy to find it. Flavors were amazing, real italian flavors. No sauces from jars or frozen... Everything fresh and delicious.We will definitely go back.“

“Wonderful food, fabulous service.“

“What a superb experience, I wish I could dine like that every day, but then I guess it wouldn't be a special. The view is gorgeous overlooking the Atlantic ocean. Service was top-notch, and we wanted for nothing all night. Most of us had fillets, which come with a whole roasted garlic, which is one of my favorite things in the world! We started with a half pound of king crab that melted in your mouth. And you cannot leave there without trying the crème brûlée which is like silk and their carrot cake. I will dream about that dinner for a while!“

“Great food and even better staff!“

“A great local place serving Louisiana cuisine. They have (and make the distinction between) Cajun "country" and Creole "city" food. Everything we had was excellent and authentic. Make sure you check out the daily specials board for some unique things and try it all. Definitely worth a stop for a meal when you're in the area.Parking: Plenty of spaces in the surface lot.“

“Found this cute place by accident, but so happy I did. Very nice staff, recommended me the Connecticut roll. OMG so good, I ended up ordering another one to go. Delicious food! I can't wait to try the other things in their menu. They also have specials throughout the week.“

“Omg!!! Food is amazing and the customer service is so awesome, please if ur in the area stop by“

“The absolute best sushi in Fort Lauderdale! Great place for a quick bite or date night!“

“We really enjoyed it. It was HELLA expensive. Waitress was really nice and talked us through how to order a small steamed crab order to try using the mallets and everything :) . E went there originally to order steak and lobster tail, which we did. We know we like crab, but never did the whole crab mallet thing. We enjoyed it. Food plus drinks was ridiculously expensive. I've heard that this is a bit of a tourist place, despite the "rustic" decor.“

“Sooooooo good OMG… everything was incredibly fresh the fried conch , the steak n cheese with shrimp , garlic butter snow crabs with the right amount of spice the blueberry lemonade I want a gallon next time ❤️… the employee were super helpful in helping us decide thank you for your patience.“

“great food service ,selection, prices“

“Definitely one of the best restaurants on the Fort Lauderdale strip, just a chill place to go after a long down on the beach that is really good priced especially for college students !! I always go with my boyfriend since we are always on a budget but still want to go somewhere nicer and the view is always amazing and every single server that we have had has always been super nice and attentive :)“

“My wife and I were visiting for a few days for our 9yr anniversary trip. Wanted to have a nice meal, so we chose Carrabba's. We both love Italian, and we new this place was great. Our server was Gigi, and she was amazing. Super sweet, super attentive, and extremely observent to our needs. Do your self a favor and ask for her. Then the manager Richard came over, and was extremely nice as well, and was as polite as they come. He even offered us a anniversary desert on the house! We can't say enough good things about this place. We'll definitely be coming back again and again.“

“Food was delicious and our server was great . Would definitely recommend this place“

“Beautiful atmosphere, superior friendly service and delicious, flavorful food.“

“The cheinese food hands down is the best I've had out here in South Florida! I'm a huge critic when it comes to food. The flavors has not disappointed me and it's only my 2nd visit. It's packed with flavor... others I've had right off of Broward Blvd has been bland. Fried rice has not tasted authentic like Jade Flower. The Chicken wings, ribs, and house special LoMein have been 5Stars! You don't have to take my word for it... try it yourself & thank me later!“

“Had the best mommy & daughter Friday lunch. Great food excellent service and the happy hour drinks were fantastic.“

“This restaurant is a gem on Sistrunk Blvd. I kept it simple and ordered the 6 hot honey breaded wings and fries. The wings were piping hot, crispy, jumbo, and juicy. My meal plus a drink was under $15 and well worth it. The staff demonstrated great hospitality. I’ll be back to try the lemonade.“

“The entire experience was wonderful. Our server Evan was outstanding, his timing on courses and cocktails was precise. His knowledge of the menu was explicit. The suggestions from him were all outstanding from the lobster appetizer to the beef tostada and the stuffed poblano pepper. We can't say enough about the entire staff. The two ladies that greeted us were professional and told us about the restaurants. We will return.“

“I had an appointment in the area that was canceled at the last minute. On my way out, I came upon Sea City and decided to give it a chance. I ended up ordering the shrimp and fries lunch special with a drink..I rarely finish a plate of food in one setting but I did today! The food was fresh, hot, well seasoned, and delicious. The service was amazing and the space was clean. It may sound silly but when I walked in, I immediately felt the love circulating through the establishment and tasted it in my food. My spontaneous stop ends up making my day. I will definitely be returning in the near future!“

“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!“
