Shelby was very accommodating and pleasant to interact with. She offered us seating on the covered portion of the patio during a rainstorm when the restaurant was at capacity inside. She was very nice and knowledgeable about the menu, giving recommendations as well as suggestions. Food was great! read more

The Ambiance is amazing but the food is definitely not living up to the price tag. Probably the worst branzino i have ever had but i will say the Chilean sea bass was delicious but for the amount it cost you would think it would be the size of a regular filet. The one thing i can't complain about is the drinks; all the cocktails and even the mocktail we tried were great. read more

We are currently staying at the Hilton and after coming from the Conrad for dinner my kids wanted a sweet treat. No where in the Hilton was there any dessert they were interested in which is a bit ridiculous. S3 did have a desert my children were interested in. We asked if we can sit at high top since we didn't want to be an inconvenience and were going to be quick but we were greeted by a very rude hostess who told us that the whole restaurant was a "complete" experience. Mind you it's a special event weekend I am understanding had there been a line or limited tables, but I am not ordering it to go nor do I want my kid to have to sit outside with the dogs to enjoy their dessert. Whether you agree with me or not, I believe I deserve to be treated a bit better and a customer is a customer no matter what.I am truly upset about the experience and I wish I would have been treated a bit differently. I will be happy to take my business elsewhere. For what it's worth the restaurant wasn't even packed nor was there a wait for a table. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Wow wow wow best brunch!!! Amazing ocean views, delicious food, amazing service, bottomless mimosas!! I came here with my friend and we had an amazing time! The service was absolutely phenomenal!! When you order bottomless, they bring a bottle of champagne and juice to your table which I love. The burrata appetizer was INCREDIBLE I'm telling you it was the most delicious thing I've ever tasted. Get it!!!!! The steak bowl was just ok... the flavors and everything included was delicious, but the steak was over cooked and tasted off. The onion rings were underwhelming, not a lot of flavor but crispy. The donuts for dessert were delicious!! 10/10 recommend!!! read more

S3 has one of the best locations on the beach. In the summer, it's honestly the only beach restaurant I can handle because the bar gets such a good breeze. This used to be our go-to spot for birthday brunches and it really was amazing for a while. But the food and service started slipping, so I haven't been back much. Stopped in recently for a quick drink after Nube Rooftop and the service at the bar wasn't great. Such a shame because the view and location are still so good. read more

Came here with colleagues for a bit of a nicer dinner, such a fun, elegant spot. The bar by the beach is lovely, albeit windy, and the booths inside are nicely sized for a small group. Fire pits outside are nice too. The waiter was SO knowledgeable about all the items on the menu and made great recommendations for delicious picks, helping gauge if we'd ordered enough, and having a good sense of humor too. read more

I have been to S3 a few times for Brunch and Happy Hour and it blows me away every time. I most recently went to take my mom and aunt to brunch for Mother's Day and they had the best time. The hostess was extremely accommodating in getting us a table in the shade since my eldest aunt can not be in the sun. The brunch plates and bottomless mimosas were fantastic. We also had the coconut cake for dessert and it was seriously the best dessert I've ever had. Not only is the food and vibe at S3 top notch but the service is above and beyond. Extremely special shoutout to Vanessa our server for her hospitality and friendliness. Can't wait to be back soon!! read more

The space is amazing and our service was very good. However, my daughter ordered the S3 roll, it was ok. The Spicy tuna was better. Both very expensive for what you get. At home these rolls would be about 40-50% cheaper. My wife had the salmon bowl. The salmon was over cooked and salty. I had the halibut special, the flavors were good but my fish was also over cooked. I was also over charged for my Manhattan. I asked for Piggyback but got charged for the 12 year. That is a 20 dollar difference. Overall, I would say it was very mid and disappointing. read more

I was fortunate enough to have dined at the sushi bar, traveling solo, in a busy Saturday night and had my omakase meal made by Michelin sushi Chef Pham. I asked if he recommend the surf & turf and another nigiri or the omakase. He said omakase. Asked him which one, nigiri (for $3 more) because it had more flavor. And wow was it one of the best sushi meals to date. The staff knew what every single piece was and how it was flavored, and you eat it from light fish to dark, ending with wagyu. He came from SF 2 years ago and is now responsible for all 11 restaurants in the family. Was great to sit at the sushi counter to chat with him. What a treat, truly. The staff was extremely attentive and superb. I did start with the edamame which was good but not to my flavor palette. Too spicy for me, and a bit too soft. I ordered the bag of donuts of course and they were great. Took 5 out of 7 to go because they said it stays well the next day! Get the omakase box. $68 is very fairly priced made by Chef Pham (at least that evening, I got lucky). Get a reservation. It's busy, with plenty of seating. There's outdoor seating and a circular bar at the entrance. read more

Always a good time at S3 The music is perfect the ambiance and service is always good and the food is delicious. We went after our hockey game and had a great time I even had some New Yorkers say wow. The edamame is delicious and highly recommended the burrata we had to get two plates of this app although the last time I was there the tomato was more fresh and crispy...The octopus is delicious but honestly it was too much bean and not enough octopus (it felt like the beans overpowered the octopus). The spicy tuna crispy rice was warm when it came out and had a great spice level. The dynamite roll was amazing and the salmon poke bowl was incredible. If you want great food and good vibes definitely go here. read more

Happy Hour at S3 is a must. The customer service was great. The food was delicious and came out quickly. The drinks were the cherry on top of a great experience. We visited in a rainy day and were unable to sit at the bar for happy hour. The manager was very accommodating and we were able to sit on the side away from the rain and still participate in happy hour. Our server was very patient and engaging. We definitely went with her recommendations on drinks (not pictured sadly). We will be back to try the regular menu and definitely happy hour. read more

Fort Lauderdale-WOWZA!!! This place sits right on the corner of one of the best views! We had the ocean right in our face the entire time. Loved it! It was raining, and our waitress asked us if we would like to sit outside. We happily said yes. The weather was just a little bit of a pain, and the wind had really come up, but the view could not be beat. We had a non-alcoholic, Sun-kissed Sipper, and a Hibiscus Kiss cocktail. Both were phenomenal. Our waitress recommended that we try the goat cheese balls. They were cooked perfectly and had a delicious guava jelly to dip. We had the Tuna poke plate along with a Lucky sushi roll. There is a very interesting tasting leaf in the Lucky roll. It's called madai. The waitress let me taste this leaf before I ordered my roll. It is an interesting combination between mint, spicy, cilantro, cumin, and possibly soap!!! lol You need to try it before you order, because some people do not like this item. I thought it was tasty! Presentation was really beautiful and the food tasted fresh and delicious. Definitely a spot to hang out, have drinks, and enjoy some delicious food on a beautiful sunny day. We will be back when the weather is better so we can enjoy the outdoor area to the fullest! read more

The ambiance was nice, but the chair-to-table ratio didn't really help -- I felt like I was sinking into the cushion while trying to eat. The food overall was good. My man ordered his steak medium-well and it came out closer to well-done, but it was charred perfectly so the flavor was still great. My branzino was just okay on its own, but when paired with the steak it was actually delicious. The Korean fried chicken was wonderful. Overall, the experience was decent. I just wish the presentation of my fish plate had been a little more polished. I work in hospitality and often refer people to different spots, so details like presentation really stand out to me. Drinks- bartender is heavy handed with the citrus in the passion paradise drink and the mamasita. I had the sand drink which was good and a patron margarita that was really sweat. read more

One of my favorite restaurants across the Ft Lauderdale beach. Service is very good. The food is excellent . The Dragon roll- fresh and good Sea bass Special- omg, melt in your mouth. So tender, with a nice crust on the outside. It was so delicious and delicate. Very flavorful. The Farrotto was very good as well. Korean Fried Chicken - Very flavorful, they were small bites, but very tasty. Very good. Lamb- was good, nice flavor. Not overpowering Highly recommend. read more

Came here for a bachelor party dinner, and it was outstanding. With beach views, and the open kitchen concept makes this also a great date night spot! Aesthetic & Ambience: 8.5/10 a bit more on the fun modern side. Lot of unique designs with plenty of seating at the bar. Ambiance is a 8/10 its quiet, but can kick up volume quickly. Service: 9/10 our server was amazing, unfortunately I can't remember their name, but they was awesome and even recommended my favorite cocktail which isn't even listed on the menu. They also recommended the Chilean sea bass, and it was a good pick. Korean fried chicken: 8.5/10 chicken thighs fried and coated with a gochujang sauce. It's not spicy. Grilled Caesar: 9/10 very delicious and light. I rarely find grilled salads, but this one had edamame and a freshly shaved parmesan. Goat cheese croquettes: 8.5/10 it was really good, however goat cheese does have a bit stronger of a flavor profile, but the guava sweetness was perfect combo. Chilean sea bass: 8/10 pretty good, was a bit more on the dry side with the sear on the top. There's no skin, and it's deboned! read more

Phenomenal!! We hosted my graduation dinner here at S3, for a party of 20, and everyone had a fantastic time! Let's talk about the atmosphere first. Ambiance was fantastic, we were seated at a large combined table with ample space. Lighting was great and we loved the excellent service by our wait staff team. The menu was pre-selected and the wait staff did a phenomenal job timing the arrival of food such that we had ample time to enjoy our drinks and chat prior to digging in. We first had the edamame and korean fried chicken, followed by some salmon, grilled octopus, one of the best churascco steak I've ever had, shrimp noodles, and to close it out, a delicious, velvety soft double chocolate cake. I would highly recommend S3 to my family and friends without any hesitation. They are a great place to host celebratory dinners!! read more

I went to this restaurant for pre dinner drinks then dinner. Our drink server and dinner server seemed very unfriendly. It seemed like they did not want to be there and wanted everyone to know it. We ordered our drinks, which consisted of 2 glasses of wine. They were delivered and that concluded our pre dinner drinks. We then migrated to the dining room. Once again our server seemed very angry and it was as if she wanted everyone to know it. We ordered the sushi boat. The sushi was delicious, but for $145 the portion was very small. When we got the check, we were given a tablet to pay on. The tip percentages were very deceiving, as they calculated the tip based on after tax total. The server also shoved the tablet in my face and seemed rushed. Overall, it was high quality food but portions were lacking. The reason I will not be returning is the service. read more

Been wanting to try this place for happy hour but I ended up going to brunch instead. I ordered "bottomless" mimosas- I used quotations because the word bottomless was open for interpretation. I was informed that it wasn't bottomless but I'm given a bottle of sparkling and juices to make mimosas. Still not sure how it's advertised as bottomless when it's not? Either way, the brunch was good. Had a sushi roll and the breakfast sandwich. I'd be back to try the happy hour. read more

We had a great meal at S3. I pulled into the valet parking area and I asked about getting a charge while I dining. They gladly took care of getting my car charged while dining. We got a nice table by the window overlooking A1A and the beach. We started with an Omakase box (supreme) and every one of the sushi pieces was like butter....nice, full of flavor and delicious. We got a Korean Fried Chicken and each piece of the boneless chicken bites was excellent...we asked for sauce on the side. My grilled octopus was very tender and served with some large beans in a bowl. My husband's eggs benedict were delicious. My niece got the A5 Surf and Turf and she loved the blend of flavors. Overall a great experience. I just wished our server had a bit of a more friendly and smiley customer service attitude...it was fine, but not great.... Valet parking with the S3 validation was $9. read more
