YOT Bar & Kitchen 2015 Southwest 20th Street, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33315

"This place used to have stellar everything, but the food and service have started to slide. I don't blame my individual server; it looks like they are short staffed. Making your servers also responsible for bussing tables at a place like this doesn't make sense. I was supposed to get poached eggs on my avocado toast, but as you can see they were hard boiled. Would have sent back, but didn't see server for another 15 minutes. Really love the atmosphere, and I'll try again in a few months, but disappointed in this experience."

"Wow love this place. The food was great. The brussels sprouts appetizer with something very special and you should try it. The staff were amazing. Especially the girls waiting staff by the bar. Highly recommend something manatee. They’re there super probably more like a anything."

"Two weeks ago, I discovered a recent debutante restaurant sensation in Pompano named South Bar and Kitchen to learn that it is part of the SFL Hospitality Group owned by Mike Lender, and I learned that they also operate our acclaimed Canyon restaurant and YOT Bar ad Kitchen at 2015 SW 20th St, Ft laud. A quick Google, YOT pictures seduced me. Today, a visiting friend on business suggested lunch, and YOT immediately sprang to mind. We joined at noon. Set in the Safe Harbor marina haven on the New River, YOT's ambiance is impressive, remarkable, and amazing, reminiscent of the Boatyard restaurant on 17th St Causeway, but in a more laid-back setting. We opted for the outdoor lower deck under a sunny sky, shaded by blue patio umbrellas, embraced by a constant cool breeze, and surrounded by a fleet of mega-yachts worth over $2 billion. It was a moment of humility in the face of such opulence. The cuisine was consistently excellent. As a light drinker, I opted for iced tea, while my friends went for the watermelon mojito. We shared an Italian-meaty flatbread for an appetizer, followed by a grilled chicken sandwich with F-fries, a sautéed shrimp Caesar salad, and my choice—a delicious seasoned fried shrimp sandwich on a hot dog bun with F-fries. Overall, a delightful experience, though the only critique would be the dry hot dog bun (it wasn’t toasted, just dry). YOT has proven to be a worthy venue, and I'm excited to introduce it to my local foodies and my snowbird friends this winter season. Situated within a manned, gated business compound, YOT provides limited open parking (other spaces reserved for marina workers or visitors). However, they offer complimentary valet service. Expect average menu prices ranging from $18-25, excluding drinks, tax, and gratuity. Unfortunately, unaware, I had my phone camera on a different setting and some of my photos are blurred."

"A wonderful experience that started with the view and continued with the food and service. The smoked fish appetizer, red fish entree and tuna entree were clean plate delicious and Even the kids food and salads looked great. From the cocktails to the food to the view you can't go wrong."
