    Turkey Sandwich (focaccia bread, avocado, tomato, caramelized onions, artisan lettuce).
    Sabrina S.

    This place wasn't on Yelp so I thought I'd add it just so ya know... Turkey sandwich was very good. My friends enjoyed their quesadilla and chicken salad sandwiches too! Nice atmosphere. Service was ok.

Caesar had thick cut bacon on it and the patty melt was on some really amazing Rye bread. As good as the food was, the service was better! Sophia P was my waitress and she killed it. She gave me highly detailed responses to my questions about the menu that genuinely helped me make good menu decisions. Overall just had a chill relaxed demeanor where I didn't feel pressured into making any choices. Definitely want to come back!

I'm still dreaming about those Girl Scout Thin Mint-inspired pancakes. They were unbelievably delicious, and the portion was huge , perfect for sharing with the table. We also ordered the banana bread grilled cheese as a second "dessert breakfast" item, and it was such a fun and tasty treat. For our main dishes, we tried two different types of Benedict: the short rib and the crab cake. Both were excellent, but the short rib Benedict edged out just a bit with its rich, savory flavors. That said, the crab cake Benedict did not disappoint either which they were generous with the crab, and it tasted incredibly fresh. Our cocktails were just as good as the food and made the whole brunch experience even better. The perfect weekend brunch vibe. Can't wait to go back!

    Had the most beautiful night at the Boatyard!…read more My best friend and I are in town for a concert tomorrow evening, but could not leave Ft. Lauderdale without checking out a local upscale restaurant. We headed over to the Boatyard, and had such a great evening! We had a reservation for 7:45, but came a little earlier, and were able to get sat around 7:20! We originally requested patio seating due to the beautiful view of the water, but due to South Florida weather, we decided a seat indoors would ultimately be best. Our server Juan provided us with great service! He was very kind, and made sure the dirty martini i ordered, was in fact FILTHY! We ordered the parmesan fries and Brussels sprouts as an appetizer, and they came out hot and fresh. Our party of four also shared the ceviche which was incredibly flavorful and decorated to perfection!! The highlight of the night was my center cut filet cooked medium, with the most PERFECT chimichurri sauce. My family makes fresh chimichurri, so it's safe to say I am not always easily impressed, but this was one of the best ones I've ever tried!! We left the restaurant full and satisfied. Because the weather cleared up nicely, we were able to get some nice pictures outside by the water! 10/10 night! Pro tip: Valet parking is only $10, and parking was so difficult to find on our own. It was also raining, so this worked out perfectly! Valet staff is incredibly kind as well.

Food was decent but a little bit too sweet for both our entrée and the appetizer tacos. A lot of sweet sauces that we definitely didn't enjoy. The appetizer was fresh tuna in cute little taco shells. We tried the clam chowder and it was out of this world delicious!!! I am a clam chowder snob so I know!! We shared an entrée. Shoyu glazed Sea Bass. Way overly sweet. I actually didn't even finish this plate. My whiskey Creek cocktail was overly sweet as well. The next one I had, I asked her to ease up on the simple syrup. Much better the second time around. My dinner mate had the high seas cocktail and said it was good. Service was on point and our waitress was very friendly.

Our server (very new) was absolutely amazing. He gave us the story behind the name, Katherine, who is the wife of James Beard nominee Chef Timon. The restaurant is a small white building. Once you get inside, it's like stepping into another world. Its beautiful interior has wooden tables, Edison lights, gold table lamps, and white marble tables. Super clean. The menu looked wonderful and it took a while for us to decide but we did. *tuna crispy rice *chili garlic heirloom tomato (ordered bread as suggested) *iceberg wedge *red thai curry branzino This was absolutely the best dinner experience we've ever had. The tuna crispy rice was delicious! We went on the suggestion of our server to order bread with the chili garlic heirloom tomato and this was a banger!!! It was amazing. Hubby enjoyed his wedge salad. Oh, and that red Thai curry branzino was golden. Now wonder Chef Timon was nominated for a James Beard. Our server actually served us a vanilla bean "torrejas" French toast dessert with a lit candle since we were in town for our 15th anniversary. I just pray we get to come back again in the future. You MUST come here if in the area.

We went to lunch on a nice warm Friday afternoon and wanted the whole ambience experience. We sat outside at the bar at a high top table which usually isn't my favorite, but it was nice. It was very hot, but they do have fans blowing so be prepared for your hair to blow all over the place unless you're bald. The service was excellent, first we thought we would sit inside because it was too hot, but then we said let's go for it and we moved ourselves outside so the hostess and the waitress were extremely helpful. This is more than just an eating establishment. It's an experience sitting among the most expensive and fabulous yachts in the world. The view is lovely and also the people are lovely to look at as well. The menu has a nice variety and if you like cocktails or beer or wine, there's a good selection. I had the shrimp tacos and my friend had the fish tacos. Our other friends had the Power Bowl with chicken and they all enjoyed everything. The prices are a little high, but you're not sitting at a strip mall. Apparently, they have specials for happy hour, live music, and they are dog friendly. It is located on the north side of SR 84 not far from 441 so use your GPS. If you want the Florida feel and you don't own a yacht, but you like to be around the yachting crowd this is a good place even in August.

I ordered the shrimp tacos. They tasted good, but the shrimp were smaller than I expected and heavily fried, so the presentation wasn't quite what I was hoping for. My boyfriend had the smash burger, which was probably one of the stronger dishes at the table and was very enjoyable. Some friends ordered the chicken kebabs. They were good, although a bit sweeter than expected. The rice wasn't our favorite and included lentils, which gave it a less traditional feel. That said, thsi is not a Mediterranean restaurant so we weren't necessarily expecting authentic traditional cuisine. The daiquiris were a hit with our group, and everyone who ordered one was very happy with their drinks. Overall, this is a great spot for a fun outing with friends, good service, drinks, and a lively atmosphere. While the food didn't completely wow us, we still had a nice experience and would come back for the vibe and drinks.

The place is very nicely decorated and there is so much to look around at because the theming is very nice. I also like that there is a nice amount of seating and the bar top area is spaced out also. The bartender was friendly and got the drink orders in quickly but was a little pushy with trying to get us to upsize our drinks when I only wanted a small. The frozen hurricane was delicious and has a nice strength to it. Very sweet but very refreshing! The burger and fries I had were amazing and the burger was cooked perfectly! I will say at almost $19 dollars for the smash burger, I wouldn't go out of my way to get it again because the price was not worth the flavor to me! The fries were also tasty but nothing to write home about. Overall a good place but one that I will come for just drinks and then grab food somewhere else in my opinion!

We are very please of the quality of our food and the servers. Yes a few time I had to write négatif reviews, because I like to tell the true story. Last week we hit the jackpot with the wonderful server we had. It is sad that most the time he works in the evening , and most our outing are at lunch. So, this time he was our lunch server . His name was JOSE, I can say, after all the time we eat at that restaurant he was one of the best servers, he had nice personality, we could see that he liked Is job, hope next time I go back , that he will be working, beside the great tuna lunch we had , he completed our nice outing . Bravo JOSE .

Making an online reservation was effortless, and we were seated promptly, so our visit started off on a positive note. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience was underwhelming. Our server was friendly, but the service overall was very slow. It took quite a while for him to check back with us, and he wasn't very familiar with the menu. We had to remind him of the side options that came with our meals, which was surprising. While he was pleasant, the level of service just wasn't what we expected. The food was average and didn't really stand out. We all ordered the three-course special. We started with the tortilla soup and the chili, but both arrived only lukewarm, which was disappointing. For the entrées, my steak was tough, not very tender, and also wasn't served hot. The mashed potatoes were actually the highlight of my plate--they were flavorful and well prepared. The ribs were tender. The salmon entrée was fine, but nothing particularly memorable. The restaurant wasn't busy during our visit, which made the slow service and long wait for our food even more surprising. We also noticed other tables that had been waiting even longer than we had, with meals taking an unusually long time to come out. Overall, this just wasn't the birthday dinner experience we were hoping for. While the staff was courteous, the slow service and average food make it unlikely that we'll return. Hopefully they're able to improve, because the restaurant has potential, but unfortunately this visit missed the mark for us.
