    Bo’s beach was incredible! I enjoyed the atmosphere with its open window seating. I watched all the activity going on on the beach while I ate a fantastic plate of lobster Mac and cheese. I was a half hour early for my reservation and the hostess was extremely accommodating. The waitress was efficient and very friendly! The service was fast and the food was excellent! Highly recommend, A++

    Dune continues to provide an outstanding dining experience and remains my favorite high end restaurant in Ft Lauderdale. It is elegant in its contemporary design. The service is exceptional—gracious, unobtrusive, informative, friendly. The food is fitting for “foodies” yet robust enough for a broad range of tastes. Dune is wonderful for special celebrations or holidays like Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day especially when they have musicians like a harpist or saxophonist and singers who add to the ambience. I highly recommend Dune.

    Just an amazing place to dine and share a good time with people. The atmosphere is so upbeat, staff is super friendly, the service is great and the options for food are terrific. We’re visiting from NY and stay in Miami Beach but we always try to get here at least once during our stay. I had blackened mahi mahi and it was delicious. The others chose a burger or salad and everyone was quite satisfied. My cousin drove down from Boca to meet us and he was thrilled with the Boatyard. A great choice for any occasion!

    YOLO has always been recommended to me ever since I moved down to FLL this past August, so I was very excited to experience it for the first time. It did not disappoint!! The atmosphere, the service, the communication amongst the servers and management, the food quality, and creative menu made point for a wonderful dining experience. They had a DJ out on the front patio area, but it did not overwhelm the indoor dining area, so I could actually hear my colleague's voice. I will recommend this restaurant to all my clients and colleagues who are in town visiting!
