Forever a favorite for me !!!! I've been here probably 30 times lol over the years and it's always great . The staff is always very nice and welcoming . I've ordered mostly ceviche and tried a few meals. The food is always fresh and made to order . Inside decor and seating is beautiful. Vibrant colors and more . They offer cocktails , juices , water , and wine which is always good .

Ceviche tradicional, arroz chaufa de marisco.  Great food, awesome service .

Food and service was great. Gina our server was great, very knowledgeable about the menu. The space has a beautiful, clean, and colorful ambiance that feels warm, inviting, and elegant.

Dessert

First time. Quiet later lunch. Delicious. Visually well played. Flavors were very good and balanced. Had a Ceviche mixto and then a Risotto Saltado. Dessert was a Lucuma with chocolate cake. Luscious. Another guest had a more traditional lomo saltado. Rating should be more like a 4.5. Leaving room for future visits to affirm updated rating.

Jalea Mixto (fried seafood/fish combo)
Angela A.

We dined at Salimar Ceviche Bar on a Wednesday evening. The restaurant is beautiful and inviting. We were greeted right away before being told to pick any table we liked (they weren't too busy at the time). We settled in and were quickly welcomed by a smiling server who brought menus and water. To start, my husband and I ordered Pisco Sours (tradicional)--the perfect beginning to a Peruvian meal. The menu is extensive, with plenty of classic dishes that showcase Peru's rich culinary heritage. Among the highlights are ceviche mixto and several types of causas. For those who haven't tried causa, it's a layered potato dish with spices, often topped with tuna or chicken--a pre-Columbian dish that still shines today (take that, colonizers!). Highly recommend giving it a try. We ordered: ceviche mix, anticuchos (grilled steak or chicken), causa, and Jalea Mixta (a fried seafood and fish combo). Each dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The ceviche was bright and zesty, the anticuchos tender and well-seasoned, and the Jalea Mixta a crispy indulgence that we dipped in a spicy sauce and tartar sauce. Service was attentive and friendly throughout the evening, adding to the overall positive experience. My only regret? We didn't save room for dessert. But that just gives us the perfect excuse to return. We're already looking forward to our next visit.

This is my second time visiting this gem. Although I have visited other Peruvian restaurants this has to have the best tasting ceviche. From the last time I visited the restaurant has been updated and it went from hole in the wall to fancy! I was impressed!! They were busy but our server definitely took care of us. 5 stars all around. Two thumbs up for the chef, yummy in my tummy!!

Hidden gem alert! South Florida is well represented when it comes to Latin American or Caribbean cuisines. But In my mind, no South American cuisine tops Peruvian. Enter Salimar! A beautiful, vibrant space, almost as eclectic as the food itself. We came with a huge party(14 people, no reservation), and they were able to accommodate within 5 minutes. The wait staff was both attentive and patient. And the food? Delicious, point blank period! And even more impressive is the price point. Peruvian cuisine tends to be in the high side, but Salimar does not put a big dent in the wallet. Plain and simple, Salimar is the real deal.

Ceviche mixto

This is my second time eating food from Salimar Ceviche bar and I have absolutely loved it. I live about 45 minutes away from Fort Lauderdale but my hairdresser is nearby this place so I've been stopping by for dinner after my appointments the last few times. Everyone from the host to servers are incredibly attentive and friendly. I love how fresh and beautifully-presented the ceviche dishes are. The restaurant interior is also quite beautiful and inviting. Price point isn't too expensive. I would definitely go back. Just be aware their ceviche does run a bit spicy if you ask for spice!

Decor is simply chic!
Raul M.

Seems to me that this is my new go-to place for Peruvian food. I'm so happy I chose this for dinner!!! The decoration is so exquisite, clean, chic and warm at the same time. We had Nicolas as our server and he took the time to explain quite a few options on the menu. His attention and patience were OUTSTANDING. We went for a couple of pisco sours (as one should) which were very tasty. Ended up sharing 3 entrees that really blew our minds. Such an amazing way to end our evening! Can wait to go back!!!

Chocolate dulce de leche cake
Nicole J.

Our party enjoyed our dinner at Salimar. There was a nice atmosphere when we walked in - modern decor with some touches of traditional Peruvian folk art. Our waiter and other staff were very attentive and hospitable. The food was good and portions were just right. They ask to tailor spice levels which was nice. The ceviche was fresh and very flavorful. Desserts were also good. The coconut flan didn't have a lot of coconut flavor but was still a very good flan and you could tell it was homemade. The chocolate dulce de leche cake was also good, very balanced and not overwhelmingly sweet as many dulce de leche treats tend to be. Note for folks with seafood allergies - check in with your waiter. They fry shellfish and other items together.

My fellow yelpies truly never let me down! I've had Salimar Ceviche Bar saved for a while and was very intriged by their 4.8 stars. I'm Peruvian and a pretty hard critic when it comes to my cultural food. I'm comparing to my grandma or moms cooking and it's really not fair. We have so many Peruvian restaurants to choose from in South Florida (which I love) but I've found that some dishes are better at specific locations so it's hard to find a place that has the best ceviche AND hot dishes, if you get my drift. Salimar Ceviche is debatably my number 1?! That's still up in question, however, I can say they are mf bomb! Thier spicy mixed ceviche reminds me of the one my dad makes (the best) and their pasta options with seafood or lomo are drool worthy. Their staff was very kind and warm. I always have our little dude with us so I'm always grateful when they go above and beyond for him. We will be back to try more! Highly impressed. Deserving of the raving reviews. Also a vibe! I told my husband 'this place is so cute, you could have a birthday here'.

Salimar is hands down my favorite and go to Peruvian place outside Peru. I have been to Peru a couple of times and this food doesn't disappoint even when you compare with the actual food in Peru. The dishes are authentic and the decor is appealing. I have tried various ceviches and they are all very good. They can make it spicy too. Their chica morada is good but my favorite is their Chica de hora. It's basically an alcohol for a non alcohol price (don't tell them that. ;) ) Their food is best and they are always busy. No matter what time you go. Inspite of that they are always super prompt with their service and are always courteous. Salimar is the best kept Peruvian secret in SoFlo.

AMAZING! I grew up eating ceviche and this place definitely deserves its recognition. The decorations are beautiful, the service is excellent, and the food is great. They have a lot of options on the menu.

I'm always on the lookout for new places but have issues with spicy foods. I mean that ANY heat for me is like most people eating a scotch bonnet so I have to be very cautious.…

I am in the same boat. I asked to speak with the cook who turned out to be very accommodating to my needs.

We're still on the hunt for the best fried catfish in the Hallandale Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and…read moreMiami area, and after searching online, we decided to give Catfish Dewey's a try. If you're driving a larger truck, be aware that parking is available but pretty tight. Once inside, we were warmly greeted by the host, who was incredibly friendly and escorted us to our table. Our waitress was just as wonderful--attentive, personable, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. There was music playing everyone there was enjoying themselves. Since it was Tuesday, we both ordered the all-you-can-eat fried catfish special for $21.99. They start you off with hush puppies and coleslaw, and when your meal arrives, you get your choice of a side. We both chose the fries. The portions were generous, with plenty of crispy fried catfish on the plate. The fish itself had great flavor, was perfectly crispy, and wasn't over-breaded. The hush puppies were delicious, and the French fries were cooked just right. My husband, who considers himself a bit of a coleslaw connoisseur, really enjoyed the coleslaw. I wasn't as impressed with it, but that's just my personal preference. My biggest disappointment was the tartar sauce. For a restaurant that's been around as long as Catfish Dewey's, I expected a homemade tartar sauce. Instead, it came in a pre-packaged container and tasted overwhelmingly of onion. Unfortunately, it just wasn't for me. If I were rating everything individually, I'd give the catfish a 7/10, the hush puppies an 8/10, the fries an 8/10, the coleslaw a 5/10, and the tartar sauce a 0/10. Overall, we enjoyed our visit, especially the friendly service and the crispy catfish. While it wasn't the best fried catfish we've had, it was still a good meal. As I always say, don't let my opinion make your decision. Everyone's taste is different, so go try it for yourself and form your own opinion. You might love it!

The restaurant was and bustling with customers coming in to eat consistently! It wasn't too loud so we could hear each other at the table. Although they were busy, we didn't have to wait too long for our food! Our server, Phillip, who truly looks like Ryan Gosling was PHENOMENAL!!! He was on top of EVERYTHING and had the best personality and demeanor!!! The fish & shrimp and sweet tea were AMAZING; however, the sides need a little bit more work but were edible. Hence the 4 stars instead of 5.

This is a happening place on a Saturday afternoon. You actually need to reserve tables even in mid afternoon. But I had an outstanding host who found me a very pleasant table in the dining room. I wasn't in the mood for alcohol beverages but they do have good happy hour prices. All of the staff were extremely pleasant, smiling, and were eager to take my order. For my beverage, I ordered an iced tea, and they brought an assortment of sugar-free as well as sugar to choose from. They may not have many people who order tea or coffee but it would be nice to have Stevia. The tea was very good and I'm from the south where iced tea is the number one drink. My server immediately brought me fresh toasted Italian bread with flavored oil and it was delicious. I ordered three items from the happy hour menu. I ordered the Greek salad, the shrimp cocktail and the clam chowder. I didn't care for the Greek salad since I felt it was had a little bit too much dressing and not enough lettuce but some may care for more crunchy vegetable Greek salad with lots of dressing. The chef did come out and offer a substitute since the item wasn't into my liking and that was extremely nice. I didn't expect it. The clam chowder is unbelievable. It is definitely authentic and absolutely delicious. Also the shrimps are humongous and tasted very freshly cooked. And the cocktail sauce was just right. It wasn't super spicy. Even though the bar area is very lively with lots of sports TVs, the dining area is quiet. This is probably the third time I've been to this restaurant and I'll probably go back again this week because I'm craving the clam chowder. If you haven't tried it then you need to check it out. I would, however suggest to get the full menu items because I think I'm going to the next time. They have so much more than it just on the happy hour menu.

We ordered some food to go. We ordered the veal Parmigiana and the chicken piccata…read more They both tasted ok... but not authentic Italian. More like ítalo-americano. The red sauces tasted generic. Definitely was not a home made sauce. The chicken piccata same but the sauce did not come from a can. Overall, we weren't impressed, but we are both Italian and know how the food should taste, so we might be pickier than others. I wasn't greeted at the door. The 2 kids working there were busy on the iPad. The guy that handed me the food barely looked me in the face. I wasn't impressed. Sorry. I wish I had liked this more as it's right by my house. However, the bar seemed really nice and there were to people hanging out.

This a a review for Sunday brunch…read more It's a bit further than we like going for brunch, especially when drinks are included (yay! - includes mimosas, bloody mary, and champagne- more on that later), so I was hoping not to fall in love with it too much. But I did. So now I'll have to go back. We did a reservation for the first seating, 11am. I had seen reviews mentioning a parking garage, but didn't see one that looked obviously public so we valeted ($7, not bad, but I think there was a sign that said you couldn't venmo or something so take cash just in case). There were a lot of people crowding in the entryway waiting for seating time to begin, but once the clock struck we were all sat pretty quickly; and we were able to walk around beforehand and see the offerings, which was nice. I went for the snow crabs as always. The melted butter was in a crock pot instead of a pour spout, which I really appreciated because it still had all the... butter fat? I'm not sure what it's called, but I hate when it's separated out. I also went a little crazy on the "daily" specials menu (also included, don't worry); our server suggested two at a time to start. I think i started with 5. The only one that let me down was the Korean sticky rib, which was very dry and overcooked. Speaking of our server, he was fantastic. He figured out the game pretty quickly and refilled our mimosas at about the halfway point. Mostly champagne with a splash of orange juice. The entire restaurant was buzzing with people, but you were never bumping into anyone and you could carry conversation at a normal volume. On the food side, I think there was too much to note all of it, so I hope all the pictures help! Everything we ate (aside from the rib) we enjoyed. This just took over the Hard Rock brunch at Kuro for my first choice (which is great, because this one was only $80 or $85, compared to their $145 last I checked). Make a reservation, and enjoy.

This is the type of place where the waterside scenery is right, the service is excellent and the…read morefood options/quality make you smile. Its on the water so we watched boats - even ones that look like cars - sail down the waterway. We didn't have a lot of time because our server James was quick to take our orders, present our food, fold napkins when we left the table, and keep our Sunday brunch champagne glasses filled. I enjoyed brunch with 4 friends. The Sunday brunch offers a lot of meat for a seafood restaurant, so everyone had satisfying choices. There's a breakfast food area, salad/soup bar, carving station, raw bar, dessert bar, etc. I enjoyed the fresh salmon sushi. But I came for the oysters and crab. The ice cold snow crab was juicy and big. It was so popular that twice I saw employees refilling the ice bed! But the oysters. They were surprisingly wonderful because I prefer the sweet small oysters from the West. But these Gwynn Island Virginia oysters were small like West coast oysters and sweet, briny and plump. The brunch is split into a buffet and table service. We started out ordering from the menu, like an ice breaker to brunch! I ordered the stuffed bay scallops served in a scallop shell and it was very good. I also ordered the oysters Rockefeller and liked the shrimp that garnished it. My friends ordered everything from Korean super sticky ribs, several orders of crab cakes, to salmon sliders. If you order the salmon slider, know it has tomato jam and sweet onion on it. It was sweeter than I expected. But the salmon from the carving station was just delicious. Jay, the manager, was so engaging. He was near the raw bar and took interest in why I asked if there were West coast oysters. Later, he was curious as to why my friend determined to take so many crab legs. She put several on my plate! I assume that was her plan all along. Boy did I eat a lotta crab! James delivered two bowls of fresh towels to our table, so I wasn't the only one digging into the seafood. I notice that Jay is very aware of what is happening during brunch, that's great because everything stays on track. There are many options but how much can ya eat, especially when I dug into the seafood? So I had a couple more flutes of brut champagne and then got a dessert plate from the buffet. Yes, a plate! Ok, my husband and I each got a plate and tasted a lot. Let's just leave it at that! The miniature cups of passionfruit custard pie and key lime pie earned their spots. The truffles and chocolate lava cake had the same thick chocolate filling so they tasted good but remained on the plate, as did the creme brulé because it had a bit of watery custard under the sugar crust. The rest of the custard had set. The raspberry lemon cheesecake was delicious and went missing from the plate! So its hit and miss but there are so many desserts - so many I didn't taste - that you're bound to find many that you love! Unsung heroes like the buser whose name I didn't get, who smoothly explained how the brunch works while filling 2 of our 5 water glasses, should be a server. He was gone in a moment. His uniform didn't have a name tag because the restaurant doesn't use them. I wish they did so I could recognize him here. And sometimes guests are so focused on all the delicious choices that they forget their service team member's names, so its easier to read a name tag than have to have to remember. It was a great experience, at a price. So head for the raw bar, just leave me some oysters!
