If you're looking for a good tasty brunch spot with a great view, definitely check out S3 in Fort Lauderdale. S3 is located right on Fort Lauderdale Beach. S3 has the perfect modern chic vibes with an amazing view and plus a professional staff that makes the dining experience more enjoyable. I ordered the shrimp tacos with yucca fries, and my friend ordered the croissant sandwich. The shrimp tacos were filled with juicy shrimp. Plus, the yucca were fried perfectly to where they still were soft in the middle but crunchy on the outside. I love how they give nice portion sizes. Everything was tasty, fresh, and the portions were more than satisfying.

Nice romantic seafood restaurant across from the beach I. Ft Lauderdale. SSS is located in the Hilton and has Asian and Seafood options and excellent service. We had Grilled Octopus, Tuna Rice Cakes, Skirt Steak, and a slice of Cheese Cake. Overall, a very nice dinner with excellent service and restaurant ambiance.

My wife surprised me by taking me to S3 in Fort Lauderdale for my birthday, and it turned out to be a beautiful surprise. We went for brunch, and the first thing you notice is the view. The beach is right across the street, and there's something pretty special about sitting down to eat while the ocean is putting on a show just outside. We started with the goat cheese croquettes. They were good, but I wouldn't say they changed my life or caused me to immediately start planning a return trip around them. The poke bowl, on the other hand, was delicious. Fresh, flavorful, and exactly the kind of meal that works when you're sitting near the beach and trying to convince yourself that you're having a healthy brunch. My wife's brunch was also good, and the entire experience was enjoyable. S3 is a great spot to eat, have a drink, or simply get lost in the view for a while. The food was good, the setting is beautiful, and the location is hard to beat. Four stars. A solid four stars, but not quite five. Sometimes the view is the star of the show, and at S3, it definitely knows how to make an entrance.

Sun Surf Sand is a perfect brunch spot--especially on a gorgeous sunny day. Whether you're sitting inside or out, you'll have a beautiful view of the Fort Lauderdale beach. Outdoor seating includes lounges, a fire pit for late nights and a DJ. Very beachy vibe. The restaurant itself has a rustic elegant charm. Lots of wood and yellow lighting, creating the perfect ambiance. I must mention their espresso martini. I requested mine to be made with tequila and OMG, it was perfection. We ordered a few appetizers and entrees to share. Food was fantastic. The ample portions of the servings were perfect for sharing. Some of our favorites included the duck onion rings, shrimp tacos with yucca fries, the neo tokyo roll, and burrata. We were celebrating two birthdays. Our waitress Vanessa G surprised us with a complimentary dessert. Soft and warm freshly made donuts with a variety of dipping sauces was the perfect ending to our meal.

We ended up going there after we were scheduled to go to Nube but couldn't get in because they do not accept kids and we didn't know whatsoever. Ambiance: The view is nice, it is by the beach. They kept the door open and we were sitting by the door so the heat was coming but overall nice ambiance. Music was decent. Food: Food is okay, nothing to go crazy about. The bang bang shrimp (is not pictured) but it was not that good. The tuna crispy cakes was actually fresh and good. The sushi was okay nothing to be impressed about, i had the S3 roll. The salmon part was good though. Drinks: I had the passion fruit drink and it was described as a sweet drink but i don't think it was that sweet, we added simple syrup, it was a good and strong drink. Price: We had 3 drinks, bang bang shrimp, 2 tuna crispy tartare, 2 sushi and a wagyu steak with fries with a side of truffle fries. It was definitely a lot of food, but for the flavor we felt as though it wasn't worth the cost. Our total came out to be $240 so about 80 per person it was the three of us.

Nice spot for sushi along the beach in Fort Lauderdale. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. I had the poke plate which was good but layered with a bit too many pickled onions. My daughters opted for avocado toast and a spicy tuna roll. Winner we all loved was a bag of donuts! So fresh and almost melted in your mouth. I highly recommend. Menu was a bit confusing to offer things like sushi and donuts but we enjoyed the meal and our server was attentive.

Bang bang shrimp, Korean fried chicken bites, & dragon roll
Ciara H.

Came with a friend earlier in the week to try out the happy hour here, and we had an amazing time. The weather was perfect, and it wasn't too busy so we were able to enjoy the fire pit area. WHAT WE ORDERED : Korean fried chicken bites, bang bang shrimp, dragon roll + 3 happy hour cocktails. Our bill was about $67 plus tip and it was definitely worth it! One of the better happy hours I've been to out in Ft. Lauderdale.

Onion rings

My children took me here for Mother's Day today and what a lovely time we had . Great atmosphere and the service was excellent very warm , welcoming, kind people. Our server Zoey was excellent . We did brunch and it was delicious. A great way to brunch on Mother's Day .

Classic Benedict
Angela B.

Sun Surf Sand is a perfect brunch spot--especially on a gorgeous sunny day. My friend and I indulged with a refreshing cocktail and a "mix it up" brunch with the classic brunch items and a sushi roll. All the items were delicious. The crowd was lively. And the service was phenomenal with the server staggering our food orders. This is a must go to spot right off the beach and A1A.

Came here late in the evening since they stay open pretty late. The restaurant has a very romantic atmosphere and the outdoor fire pit is a nice touch that keeps the patio warm. It's a good spot for a girls night out or a date night. The sushi and omakase felt very overpriced for what you get. We did order two pieces of wagyu and toro nigiri, which were good, but overall the sushi pricing didn't really match the value. Here's everything else we ordered: Salmon Crispy Rice - Very good. Crunchy and topped with jalapeño. I liked it. Grilled Octopus - A few pieces of octopus that were tender, but it was barely charred. The plate was mostly fava beans... Zulu Pork Ribs - Fall off the bone tender. Flavorful and actually pretty filling. Chilean Sea Bass - Flaky but bland. This was the most disappointing dish. For $49, I've definitely had much better. Not worth it in my opinion.

This is a great sushi spot right on the beach. The location is hard to beat. Service is fast and friendly, making it perfect for a sunset dinner on a Thursday night. Jinan took great care of us! The cocktails were excellent. We had the Mamasita and the Smoke Signal Old Fashioned, and the menu offers a solid selection of sushi. We started with the Tuna Crispy Rice, and then I ordered the Neo Tokyo and the Angry Hamachi, and my boyfriend had the Lucky Roll and the Surf and Turf Roll. Prices are fair considering the quality and the beachside setting (about $105 per person). Overall, it's a relaxed and enjoyable spot, worth a visit if you're in the area.

Hamachi Tiradito
Alexina A.

S3 was absolutely marvelous. The atmosphere was really nice we sat outside, and the heaters made it cozy and comfortable. We started with the hamachi tiradito, which was incredible; the hamachi literally melted in your mouth like butter. We also ordered the S3 sushi roll, and it was delicious, with the perfect combination of salmon and steak. Our server was very nice and friendly. For dinner, we went with the skirt steak since they were out of the filet, and we were pleasantly surprised by how good it was. Everything from start to finish was great, and the overall experience exceeded expectations. I would absolutely love to go back and try more dishes.

Mateja K.

I loved the quick service and the tasty bang bang shrimp and tuna roll. The music at 5pm on a Sunday was actually the perfect volume and not overly loud. The booths are comfy and ambience is nice overall!

Where can I find the latest health score?

myfloridalicense.com.

What are the best parking options?

There is street parking to the West. I believe the road is Breakers Ave.

What are the vegan options?

Unreliable.

Are you allowed to smoke (cigars, vape, etc) in the outdoor area?

Yes

Would this be a good place for a dinner party, celebrating a 25th birthday? We want fancy and yummy, but fun.?

It's on the beach so wouldn't consider it fancy. But you can dress up in the evening and have a great time. Food and drinks are great!

Do they charge corkage? I found out. It's $20 and the wine cannot be on their menu.

Probably, they charge for everything else.

Do they have a good whiskey collection?

Not sure. Best to call

It absolutely lived up to the ranking! But I have to start with Juan, our server, who was AMAZING! He took such great care of us, guided us through the menu, and made recommendations that completely made the experience. Juan suggested an off-menu hamachi appetizer, and OMG... incredible. We immediately ordered a second one. The ONLY reason we didn't order a third was because they ran out! Then came the gyozas. Premium pork, homemade dough, homemade sauce, and easily some of the best gyozas we've ever had. And yes... we ordered a second round of those too! I had the Bakka Roll, which did not disappoint, and my husband had the salmon teriyaki. It came with two generous pieces, which I naturally interpreted as "one for you, one for me." Apparently he did NOT agree. I also loved seeing several families with children enjoying dinner. We'd absolutely feel comfortable bringing our kids next time. Unfortunately, Ichimora is pretty far from home for us, but it is 100% worth the drive. We'll definitely be back, and next time we're bringing the rest of the family. Juan, thank you for making our anniversary dinner so memorable! If you're visiting, ask for Juan and trust his recommendations. He knows what he's doing!

Its happy hour was the most inviting from all the restaurants within walking distance from where i was staying, so I stopped in alone early evening on a Friday night. It was a great experience. It's a really large indoor dining area, so even though it was fairly busy inside, was able to be seated immediately. They do have outdoor dining as well, but not sure how usable it is during this time when the mosquitos are so bad. All the folks I interacted with were elegantly friendly, with my server being attentive (keeping my tap water constantly full), even though I was only a party of one and chose not to drink. I was here only to sample (since I still needed to bring back food for the rest of my party), so chose two things off of the small Happy Hour menu: 6 HH Oysters (3 Eastern and 3 Pacific for $18) and Karaage Chicken ($14). The food came out fast, and both were excellent (though I wish the chicken had some more interesting sauces than just the bbq sauce and mayo). I was in/out in less than 20 minutes. One interesting thing was that the on-site manager interacted with me twice: once to make sure I was being helped while waiting to be taken to my table, and once I was leaving to make sure everything turned out well. For me, these sort of interactions really does make the difference between a good restaurant experience and a great one. The payment processor is Toast and the transaction happened tableside.

The salmon crispy rice was absolutely to die for- I would recommend it 100 times over! For my meal I had the red snapper skewers which were great, but the portion was a bit small for the price (especially considering it does not come with any sides). Our server was a bit strange.
