Amazing food and service. We visited 3 times on a holiday from Toronto, and had great food and service every time. Things the gem of Fort Lauderdale. The only improvement would be the noise level on Saturday night on the patio- music was quite loud and made conversation a bit difficult. Otherwise fantastic, thanks 3S!!!

Great food and service, however they had a DJ on the outdoor section but the speakers on the interior played the music so loud I could barely have a conversation. It was way louder indoors than it was outside.

The food is absolutely excellent, from the quality and presentation of the fish, to the appetizers, to the main courses. Additionally, the service is top notch. Very attentive, kind, helpful servers who make sure to get all the diners the food the exact way that the individual wants it. Great drink offerings also. Have yet to go for happy hour but it seems really good (only M-Thurs). Cheers to everything about this place.

Dinner was delicious. The table had the grilled cheese, Greek salad, sea scallops, fish sandwich and crispy duck. Everyone was happy. Jordan was our server and she is great. She even helped present a birthday cake to my parents.
