Boatyard - Fort Lauderdale (FL)

5 /5 Gorana Ilić: Francheska provided excellent service during our visit, and the food was outstanding. Every dish was delicious and well-prepared. Francheska had a great attitude and made us feel very welcomed from the moment we sat down. It made for a relaxing and enjoyable dining experience. I highly recommend this spot for both the hospitality and the cuisine.

5 /5 Michelle B: Boatyard is a great spot to welcome your guests to Florida! It has a great atmosphere and different areas within the restaurant offer different vibes depending on your mood. We sat outside which has water views, some fire pits and couches to lounge at with your group. We found some seats at the outside bar with a nice view and lively atmosphere. We had a nice selection of snacks to choose from but ended up spitting an order of shrimp from the happy hour menu and the wagyu bolognese from the regular menu. The shrimp were large and delicious with an interesting presentation. The wagyu bolognese was a good size and even after we split it, we took home leftovers. The happy hour drink list was good and the wine choices were good. They have La Crema on the happy hour menu. The servers were not especially attentive and did not seem to be working well together. We actually waited a bit to order another beverage but decided to leave after waiting over 10 minutes. Overall, the service was fine, food was great, atmosphere is amazing and we have had many a fun evening here so we will definitely be back. I give it a thumbs up for bringing your people here for an intro to South Florida.

5 /5 Elsa Rozenberg: We booked the little private room for our holiday party, and everything was top-notch. I love the decoration. I took a delicious Old Fashioned for the cocktail and really enjoyed it. We took an impressive seafood tower with delicious crabs. We ordered so much, but I particularly enjoyed the 38-ounce Porthouse steak. Massive and tasty.

5 /5 Terri Leeman: Such an amazing place, and I’m vegan/vegetarian! The cauliflower dish on the menu intrigued me because we have a place in Pittsburgh (The Lot, in Oakmont) with a similar dish that I absolutely love, and this was equally amazing, along with the Artichoke Chops with Basmati Rice. My BF loved his dishes too of Branzino and Peri-Peri Shrimp. The staff was very friendly and helpful too. We happened to go on a Thursday for happy hour AND ladies night, so the place was pretty busy and great for socializing, with the fire pits going and a DJ playing. Super great place to be and experience.
