Patio

Great atmosphere, great food and very friendly service. Also very convenient parking with the valets, that are very quick and helpful.

Grilled salmon
Khadija H.

Beautiful location and view. I got the grilled salmon and although it was a tad overcooked, it was still great with the tomato relish. Unfortunately, the Mac and cheese fell flat which is disappointing because it was an upcharge. If you go I'd highly recommend the scoobies and the fish dip to start and avoid the Mac and cheese!

Crab empanadas
Carrie V.

Good food and a great location! We enjoyed sitting outside near the marina and looking over to the water below and seeing all the tarpon swimming. We may have even fed them a little shrimp to get them to jump up ... shhhhhh Service was good considering how busy they were and they brought out the best key lime pie for my birthday - thank you!

Coconut Shrimp

Food and ambiance were great. Although it was very hot outside, the establishment and staff were very accommodating. They made sure you're comfortable by checking up on you frequently and keeping your ice cold drinks filled. Thank you! *Key lime pie top notch

This place was unreal! the only obvious downfall is the wait time... i wish they took reservations, i get why they dont because they dont need to, but it would be way more enjoyable for the customer. Really appreciated the $5 valet situation, and the view of the water is incredible. We tried the blackberry mojito while we were waiting, it was okay but very strong. The food is incredible! We obviously had to start with the famous scoobies, which are their little crab claws drowned in butter and garlic and served with small toasts. MUST GET. Also their coconut shrimp and dipping sauce is one of the best ive ever had. We also had the clam chowder which was delicious! For mains we had the crab cake salad and the fish tacos. The vinaigrette on the salad is like a fruity dressing and its SO DELICIOUS. THe only time i would maybe return is on a monday or something, even though the food is outstanding, its painful waiting that long. But i get why others love it!

Chicken tenders

Great location right on the water. You can pull your boat right up to the dock. The parking is very crowded and you have to valet but is on the beach to be expected. It was a last minute stop and only had to wait about 10 minutes for an outdoor table. The service was quick and efficient it is probably always busy but our food came out quick and hot. I'm not a big seafood fan but Mahi is such a great option. So fresh and delicious. The lobster roll had a ton of flavor too.

Delicious coconut shrimp
Anabella B.

Two thumbs up for this place. First, the crab claws in special spices are to die for. And the coconut shrimp were HUGE and tasty. At least 4 servers checked on me, made sure I had everything

Bar

There are restaurants you plan to revisit, and then there are restaurants that turn into a full-blown marital mystery. My wife and I came here years ago and had one of those meals that sticks with you. Great food, killer atmosphere, one of those "we have to come back here" nights. Only problem? We completely forgot the name. For years, this place became our own personal Fort Lauderdale urban legend. We kept telling ourselves it was tucked down some side street away from the beach, hidden like a seafood speakeasy. Meanwhile every map kept insisting it was "at the beach," when what we were really remembering was this perfect spot sitting right on the Intracoastal with a view that makes you want to cancel the rest of your day. Well, mystery solved, and the return visit absolutely delivered. The view is flat-out magnificent. Boats cruising by, water sparkling, that laid-back South Florida energy where nobody should be in a hurry, especially the bar, which occasionally moves at the speed of a manatee on vacation. Honestly, it kind of adds to the charm. We started with the conch and shrimp fritters, and this is where the comedy began. The texture? Perfect. The flavor? Spot on. The actual conch and shrimp? Possibly still out in the ocean somewhere. Delicious fritters, but let's just say the seafood was working remotely. The sausage served with them, though, absolutely understood the assignment. The spinach and artichoke dip was excellent, rich, hot, and exactly the kind of appetizer that makes you accidentally ruin your appetite and not care. My fried snapper sandwich was the star of the table. Absolutely fantastic. Tender fish, fried perfectly, with a crust seasoned so well it felt like somebody in that kitchen actually loves food. Every bite hit. This is the kind of sandwich that makes conversation stop. The fish tacos, unfortunately, didn't get the same memo. Overcooked, underseasoned, and just kind of there. Not offensive, just forgettable, which in a place this memorable stands out even more. The burger, I'm told, was perfect. The tuna burger, on the other hand, got hit with what sounded like topping overload, to the point where the tuna itself got lost in the shuffle. If tuna is the headliner, let it sing. Now let's talk dessert, because this is the part that deserves its own standing ovation. The key lime pie is in a class by itself. Pro tip: save room. Seriously. This isn't one of those key lime pies that punches you in the face with fake tartness. It's balanced, subtle, fresh, and ridiculously good. The kind of dessert that makes everyone at the table suddenly become "just one bite" thieves. Pair that with a very well-made espresso martini, and suddenly all flaws are forgiven. Service was excellent throughout, and the whole experience reminded us exactly why this place haunted our memory for years. Four stars because a few dishes missed the boat, literally and figuratively, but I'd absolutely recommend it. Go for the fried snapper, the stronger appetizers, the mac and cheese, and above all else, that key lime pie. Some restaurants are worth finding once. This one was worth solving a years-long cold case.

Max and I came here for the Scoobies. We had them at another restaurant and these are superior to the other ones. It's Friday and it's happy hour. The place is crowded and shares space with another restaurant. Wrap around bar was filled with patrons. I would definitely come back during happy hour and order more Scoobies. Fair warning. Do not. I repeat do not come dressed up. Even though the place is air conditioned, it's outside. Not to mention you will need a shower after your Scoobie experience.

Tuna poke
Zoe C.

They originally told us it would be a 25-minute wait, but we were pleasantly surprised to be seated after only 5! We started with the tuna poke, which was different from what I was expecting but absolutely delicious. Then we split the lobster club, which also caught me by surprise in the best way. Everything was really good, and sitting outside overlooking the water made the experience even better. Such a beautiful spot!

The amazing Jose!!
Collin W.

Our incredible dining experience and it started with our five star server, Jose. He was so amazing and he recommended some incredible dishes. Highly recommend the Scooby snacks. The oysters that we had were super delicious and shucked very well. The char grilled octopus was the best octopus I've ever had with that pickled fennel was such the perfect touch. Will be back probably every Friday!!!

Keshante A.

GET THE COCONUT SHRIMP! I totally lucked out and got a waterside view during a gorgeous sunset with a view of some expensive looking boats. The food was delicious-- NY strip, Mac and cheese and asparagus. One of the best places I ate while visiting. Perfect way to end vacation. Highly recommend!

Oysters
Bisan A.

Coconuts is a Florida staple and I finally got to give it a try Friday night. We waited about 20 minutes to be seated and got a great table outside on the lower dock, near the water. Service was terrific, our waitress was super kind, knowledgeable about the menu and weekly specials, and quick. It's chill vibes, you feel like everyone is there to have enjoy the outdoors and some good food. We got the scoobies to start of course, which you should most definitely get. It was in a flavorful yet simple melted butter. Each crab claw had a ton of meat on them which I was happily surprised about. I got 3 oysters (I forgot from where) which were fresh and delicious, I could've ordered a dozen of them but didn't want to fill myself up before my main entree arrived: smoked trout toast. Although I've had smoked trout before, this unlike anything I've tasted. It was one of their weekly specials and special it was! The smoked trout was delicious and tender; you could really taste the smokiness. It was packed with flavors of dill and mustard seeds and it all combined together wonderfully. All of that was on top of a piece of nicely toasted challah bread (I think that's what she said). It was a really tasty meal. Overall, I will for sure be back at Coconuts to try the rest of their menu and go back for the cool vibes.

Technically Yes, you'd need to get off at stop:F7 of the water taxi (Swimming Hall of Fame Fort Lauderdale Beach). Coconuts will be the restaurant directly to the left of the swimming hall of fame.… 

Do they take reservations?

no. they take you down on a list, no call ahead or reservation.

NO- They don't need it because it's a lively place.

Where do you park there?

They have free valet on site. There's also boat parking.

They do not take reservations.

The dinner, the wine and the service exceeded expectations. Nicole was our server and she was properly supported by food runners, bussers and managers. Our favorite course was the nutter butter foie gras and prawn toast. It was about $400 per person, and IMO it was worth it. They do include 4% for server wellness. No one could explain what it really was, not server nor manager, so we asked for it to be removed and they said no problem.

One of them is @maass_ftl in the Four Seasons which offers a $35 Lunch or $60 3-Course, $95 5-Course, $155 7-Course Dinner. We opted for the 5 course and the first 3 tastings were memorable starting with Wellfleet Oyster, Foie Gras Nutter Butter, to the Yellow Fin Tuna Crudo. For the main course, we were looking forward to the Lamb Belly, however, they offered a Pork Schnitzel or Brioche Chicken instead which was a downgrade. I really felt this should've been communicated before we even placed the order. We were at the bar way before our reservation so there was plenty of time to let us know beforehand. In light of this situation, the GM was very apologetic and wasn't our server's fault. I just think the kitchen failed to inform the rest of the staff. So was it worth the experience? Yes we would definitely go back!

Parking was conveniently located right in front of the restaurant, making it an easy stop. As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted and invited to sit wherever we liked. We chose a table near the window and immediately appreciated the intimate and charming atmosphere. The restaurant also features a bar and televisions, creating a relaxed and welcoming vibe. Our waitress was pleasant, attentive, and made us feel right at home, which always enhances the dining experience. Although we weren't extremely hungry, the menu had so many appealing options that we decided to sample a few items. We started with the Caribbean Tea shots, which were unique, refreshing, and surprisingly enjoyable. For drinks, we ordered a Malbec and a Peanut Butter Old Fashioned. Our first entrée was the Churrasco Frites, featuring marinated skirt steak topped with chimichurri and served with twister fries. The steak was cooked perfectly, tender and flavorful, but those fries were the true star of the dish. Still wanting more, we ordered the Garlic Parmesan Twice Cooked Wings. They were nicely prepared and satisfying, though I would have enjoyed a stronger garlic flavor. Not quite finished, we moved on to the Oaxaca Burger, an 8 ounce burger stacked with onion rings, bacon jam, house BBQ sauce, and Oaxaca cheese. This was one of the best burgers I've ever had, and possibly the best. The bun was toasted yet soft, the burger was seasoned perfectly, and it was cooked to a juicy medium temperature. Every bite was packed with flavor. Overall, everything we ordered was excellent, and the service and atmosphere made the experience even better. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning.

I have had several things from the menu, including a hamburger, house salad, wild salmon, chicken Melanesia, empanadas and even a hot dog! Everything is fresh and high quality. The salmon is huge and very fresh. It has a mild blackening/seasoning that forms a nice crust. The chicken reminds me of my mom/grandma/great grandma's chicken cutlets! Very Italian/Sicilian vibe. (Get them with mash potatoes). The patio is always comfortable with a great breeze and a view of the ocean a block away. What really stands out here though is the friendly service. Andres has been there almost every night and has always been great. He is very prompt with bringing drinks and food. You can see them hustling down to the kitchen and keeping things running smoothly. But what I like the most is the friendliness. He is always willing to chat about soccer, music, wine, or anything else (but also knows when to leave you alone so you can eat). Also, the value is pretty good. The wine is $10 or less. They have my favorite Malbec. And even the ribeye, at the beach, for $27 is not bad at all. Some of the appetizers are a bit pricey ($13 french fries) but I think all in all its one of the better values in the area. Note they do not serve liquor, only beer and wine. Also, there are no tables inside. Just a small bar inside and then several tables outside. This is a fairly quiet and unpretentious restaurant. If you want a trendy noisy evening this is not the place. It has never been packed, but there is usually a person or two at the bar. They play music but it does not dominate the atmosphere. Usually something chill like reggae. If you want friendly service, good food, and a relaxing environment, then this is a great choice. Dog friendly patio. This is the type of place you can sit with a book and drink wine, or catch the soccer game and have a beer or three. Definitely worth a visit especially if you are staying at the hotel!
