Boatyard 1555 Southeast 17th Street, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316

"This restaurant deserves 5 stars because the food is great, the atmosphere is beautiful, and the service is excellent. Everything was cooked to perfection and cocktails were on point. The outdoor seating is especially beautiful and I wish we waited to be seated outdoors. My only criticism is that our main courses were served way too quickly and more time between serving should be timed better. We would have probably ordered more cocktails if the service was slowed down. In spite of the poor timing, I would certainly return and recommend checking this place out. Looking forward to our next visit."

"Enjoyed the swordfish special for dinner. Great vibe and energy in this place. Outdoor seating is very nice, just be ready for others that may be smoking cigars out there. I would suggest sitting inside if that bothers you. Service was top notch!"

"I’ve been to Boatyard three times and one thing about them, they’re always going to make some delicious bread! It has a sweet butter option, is freshly baked and always soft and yummy. The red wine was smooth and the mocktail was ok, it tasted like a slightly bubbly lemonade. Since I came during dinner and the burger is only a lunch option, I tried the lobster ravioli which didn’t really impress me. There wasn’t much flavor and the sauce didn’t elevate the dish for me. The crab leg, however, was delicious and the steak was made very well! The french fries that accompany the seafood dish are very thin and don’t hold much flavor, in my opinion. The fish was tender and the sauce paired very well with it. The chicken was good too. Note: I tried the cake the last time I came and the fruit that was on top of it had mold on it within an hour of my departure. The actual cake was still good though. There are definitely some rock star menu items and I encourage you to try this spot out!"

"This is a fantastic restaurant with an amazing chef and staff! Enjoy a romantic dinner or celebrate with family and friends. This place may be pricey but is worth every dollar. It's an amazing culinary experience. Your taste buds will be dancing with joy!"

"Came for a birthday brunch with 10 guests and were very comfortably seated! SUCH a great atmosphere for weekend day drinking. Good tunes, very friendly service, food came out timely and tasted great (which can sometimes be an issue for such a large party). They have bottomless mimosas and bloody Mary’s ($25) and they are GENEROUS with the champagne. A lot of places kinda scam you with the bottomless but not here! The food was so so good. I got the shrimp and grits - very healthy portion of shrimp. But the best part is the ambiance - right by the water, very sunny and open. Had a blast and would love to return with a group!"
