REVIEWS OF Aruba Beach Cafe IN Florida

James Garland

There is a reason this place has over 6K+ reviews. The food was excellent. Ordered the Jerk chicken wings, Bimini bread and Teriyaki burger. All items cooked and seasoned perfectly. When I am back in town, I will definitely be coming back for more.

Mark Towers

Great view of the beach while you grab dinner with live music in the background. The seafood diablo was excellent.

Duchess in Lydia s house. Marques

Very good yellowfin tuna salad. Great view of the ocean on the beach.

Danita Colson

Love the fish tacos

Luis Rebaza

This has been always a great place, good food and good view. However today I was there with my mother and after we lunched, my mother wanted to order an Aruba Martini to go and the barman named Jason did not even pay attention to my mother, she has to make a sign with her hand for him to see her and after that he told a waitress to help my mother, after that he throw to my mother the coaster. He is a racist and instead of a good afternoon, my mother and I return to home in a bad mood. I do not understand how can this store let people like that work in there, one day they are going to be in a lot of trouble.

Sabrina Ayala

Love this place! Since we discovered it, about one year ago, we visited Aruba Beach Cafe 3 times. Nice atmosphere, live music, good service, we will come back!.

Bill Peacock

Great beachside restaurant. They have a good happy hour with beverages and bar food. Definately worth a stop with the great views. Parking is a little tricky in area, so you may have to do a couple loops.

Mark Fuller

What can I say , Always great place, great staff , food and nice comfortable environment With The View

Latasha Jones

Very relaxed atmosphere. It's bigger inside than I expected. Our service was prompt and the drinks were good.

Michael Labanz

Always a good time. Enjoy the atmosphere and view of the beach activities. The park like setting in the area is a great place to relax and see the sites.

Gordon Shamway

The vibe of the Caribbean locally. good food excellent drinks and music. it's like jumping to Aruba for a drink

Jalex Diaz

This is a great place to relax, enjoy the sea view and delight an amazing food. If you seat outside, the sea breeze will make you feel in paradise.

Tobias Timothy

Took my wife here for our wedding anniversary... the food and drinks are good... the one issue would be that the wait staff was and would stand and congregated by our table. In NYC they usually go in the back alley or something thats not right on top of the customers. But this staff had no issues with it. It was odd to say the least.

Todd Kearns

Good when not to busy. Food is delicious but service can lack. Price isnt to bad

Timothy Ischay

Sunday brunch is one of THE better deals and meals in the Fort Lauderdale beach area.

Andrew Squire

Amazing food, sat at the bar with an empty drink for 20+ minutes... But the Red snapper was enough to still deserve 4 stars.

H W

Amazing food and views. Wait staff is fast and polite. Drinks are delicious! Can eat here everyday

Colleen Johnson

Totally awesome fantastic time dance giant fake food is very good

Tony Perez

Aruba is a great local spot for good food, drink and entertainment. Located right on the beach for great fun in the sun. This is a must go to place to enjoy time with family and friends.

Jeff Anderson

Right on the beach. VIP parking, food was great, prices were not to high. Love the atmosphere. Highly recommend this place. Will go back next time in the area.

Wayne Digs

Love Aruba! Always great fun, always great food, always great service...can always count a great time at Aruba's.

Maxwell W

I really loved their food and customer service, awesome area next to my residence. The employees are always very nice. I highly recommend this place.

Dorian Mix

Service was great. Wasn't satisfied with the food for the prices they had. Altho They're seafood soup and ahi tuna were pretty good so yea four stars

Misty Hicks

Wonderful, upbeat, fine dining atmosphere with live music and excellent service. Ordered conch bites that were very good and crispy for our app them lobster tail with fresh veges and potato with a salad. Lobster perfectly cooked!! Great place and great wait staff!!

Shannon Simons

I would have rated this a five had our waitress been good! We had a blonde with her hair in a ponytail, didn’t get her name. Didn’t give us any silverware no napkins, I had to ask another waitress for napkins. I asked our waitress for more salsa and she never returned with it. She had zero personality! Food was awesome view was the BEST! Waitress sucked!

Pamela Sparrow

Great food, great service, not too pricey.

Andrew Hong

Went here on a rainy Monday morning. This restaurant offers a great view right by the beach. Our waitress was extremely helpful and professional. We ordered the bimini bread (which was later complimentary) Fish Tacos, Seafood Quesadilla, and Conch Fritters. Our meal was very generous in portion. And it tasted amazing. This is a spot I would go back to whenever I get a chance.

Amber Beames

I can't say enough great stuff about this place. The food was amazing!! But it was Kris at the front bar who made the experience the absolute best! You must try the half off apps at happy hour! The Potstickers are to die for!!

Poll Edwpp

Always the Spot to take your out of town guests to. They will enjoy the atmosphere and the food....a Great South Florida experience!!

Carol Bracamontes

Great service and atmosphere. Delicious food and beautiful Ocean view. My 84 years old Mom says it's the best chicken quesadillas she has ever had.

Dean Little

Great beach side restaurant. Food was delicious. Restaurant was a little dark for my liking, but I just may be old.

Cheryl Robertson

Gil was personable knowledgeable and friendly. He went over the top for my teenage grandsons and myself. My daughter and her boyfriend and the baby's were equally happy. I have been here over many vacation years. Food was fabulous . I brought my family for a special event and bragged and you didn't let me down. Fresh seafood...sauces excellent...mojitos Mmmmm.

Jennifer DeVenuti

Excellent experience. Food was delicious. Was seated immediately for dinner outside. Valet parking for just dinner is $5.00. Nice view of beach and people-watching. Staff was helpful. Bimini bread is a must have!

Creative Decor and Catering

I love Aruba! Great customer service, good music. I just wish they would remodel their bathroom to make more convenient for women to use. Such a busy place with two stall.

Shirley Perez Anel

Beautiful view, nice enviroment, delicious food, great staff, live music. Loved the place. Definetely coming back soon.

Anna Frade

Such a wonderful place. Right o the beach. Good food, live music, great staff.

daniel oliviero

This place has been there since I can remember. Amazing atmosphere. On Saturday nights they have a live band which is excellent to dance to. Definitely recommend to anyone that is visiting Florida or lives here in fort Lauderdale.

kay Cee

I like their ceviche. It has a nice flavor to it. And served with crackers. Dish of choice. Decided to try the conch chowder. Nope. I don't expect it to be fresh soup. But it was a tad bit salty this night for my taste. Great place for a date, girls night and group of friends. The live music plays good music. The dance little space to dance can get pretty crowded and block the hostess table. But if you don't mind being so close to strangers and feeling their sweat and wild tipsy dancing you may have lots of fun. The topper is of course the view of the beach from just about anywhere you sit and exploring the near by pier.

Gary Babbitt

I enjoyed my dinner, it is a friendly atmosphere. On Aruba (One Happy Island) there are many US flags flying along side the Aruba flag. All that being said I will withhold 2 stars. I hope to see an Aruba flag flying soon.

German Sabio

Pina colada was really bad, I dunno if the barman was distracted or what. The burger and fries, however, were one of the best I've had in the whole state. I would recommend the burger to anyone in the area and, personally, I think it's worth the drive from downtown Miami

Mark Ellinger

The food was good, not over priced. The ocean view while dining was great. I’m sure parking is a challenge, we took Uber so we did not have issues. Our waiter was very attentive.

Gordon Lenz II

Fun Place, definitely has the Caribbean feel. Wonderful location and views of the Ocean

Sis aka Shelia Goodrum

I enjoyed the experience. I only visited once. It was a Sunday around 1:15 pm. The place at first seemed packed with only a few seating inside and outside. Later, I realized it was just the hostess being placed within a high traffic area of the restaurant. I sat outside and enjoyed the BEAUTIFUL view of the beach/ocean while I dined. Food comes out at a reasonable time. I ordered an burger and fries with tea. The beef and fries is on par with non-franchised burgers. The staff was friendly. I found the bathroom to be a wee bit small. When I entered, two ladies were already waiting in line for stalls to become available. The bathroom was clean. They have many food dishes to choose from. All looked delicious as being brought to tables. A person can walk from the restaurant to directly onto the beach. 4 stars only because of the bathroom wait.

Christine Riley

Great party vibe. Great food with very generous portions.....a little loud for my taste with the crowd AND the music, but lots of fun...the lobster salad club sandwich was unbelievable!!! Great service, Shelly....thanks for a great time.

Akitos

This is one of my favorite places to eat. The setting the food the music just everything about this place is wonderful. Highly recommend bringing people here

Melissa Bratta

My boyfriend ordered NON-BLACKENED fish...it took forever to come to the table and it was COVERED IN CAJUN BLACK SEASONONG. The waitress took it away to get him a new one....and it came...WHEN THE REST OF OUR PARTY HAD FINISHED THEIR DINNER....SAD. WONT BE BACK

Douglas Drevermann

Seaside civiche..and seafood casadias.. Outstanding food and service...thanks Marko

Denise Poole

Love this place the food is delicious the music is great so much fun

Amanda Simpson

This place is so upbeat and busy!!! All are made welcome. Easy access to the beach!!! Animals welcome!! Live music! And the food is so amazing!!!!! Thanks to all the staff for making our visit so pleasant!!!

Paul Thompson

The atmosphere here is a winner. How can you ever beat a meal or cocktails on the beach? You can choose to sit inside or out. Outside being that much more of a true beach experience. Never a bad experience at Aruba, good friendly service. I think their menu in the past had more options which caters to my particular palate, but there are newer exciting options that may appeal to the masses. I would give the food a B+

Elaine Garcia

I love everything about this place: the food, the service, the music, the location, etc .... casual & wonderful

Anthony Stone

Great food and a varied menu with views of the beach and pier. They also have live music and an attentive staff. Valet parking right outside the restaurant is also a plus.

Donat Dixon

OK place if you are on the beach and want to just walk up and grab a meal. As my daughter said, "the fresh oysters didn't taste like the ocean" and the lobster was rubbery. Crowded n noisy and our waiter disappeared into the crowd.

Hez Pop

I love this place so much, it's my tradition to do every time I'm in town! Best food around! I get the seafood platter and really indulge! I usually share it but have tried to eat the whole thing before unsuccessfully, lol. I got the shrimp Louie and felt like it was more of a crab salad. Delicious food, great service! A chair cut my friends hand and they were so good about it. The manager came over and comped his meal. It was not a big cut her said the chairs had recently been reupholstered and they would check it again. Love this place!

Edison Irizarry

Love this place,my Mexican Princess gets excited,good seafood,drinks and music

Mebin TM

Bad food. Very disappointed. Rice was not cooked. Fish was bad and expensive. Feel nauseated after eating this food. Dont waste your money for food here.

david inzalaco

Stopped for lunch and had a pretty good meal. The restaurant was pretty busy at an off time but it was staffed appropriately.

Autumn Earl

We waited a long time for everything. To take our orders, bring our food, get a box, get our check ect. My boyfriend got a burger and it was undercooked and soggy. The seafood was good but small portions for a 38 dollar plate. The lobster tail was TINY! However, it is in a beautiful location where you can sit outside with gorgeous views of the beach.

Raymond Stepnowski

Very good but….(I’ll wait until the end). I have not been here in years because a) I don’t live close anymore and b) I rarely go anywhere touristy during “the season”. It was summer so we decided to go, still busy though. So, we both had the escargot which was very good except the bread was basically a roll and not a baguette (if it was, it was a poor baguette). I then had the conch fritters which is basically bar food and it was ok, just not what I would order again. Other half had the lobster salad sandwich with fries. Same with him, it was just ok. The wait for the entrees (lobster salad and fritters in our instance) was approximately 35 minutes which I consider a little long for a place like this. And now I remember why I haven’t been here in a while: c) the wait from ordering to placement on table still is long. And since I am writing this and thinking about the meal, I am changing “very good” to “ok” or whatever terminology/stars a website is using. If you’re a tourist, check this place out. It’s right on the beach and a fun place to be.

Marilyn Ocean

This place was a lot of fun ocean views feels like a very tropical setting. They had great music playing that's somewhat even dancing to. The food was great had a Sashimi tuna salad which was fresh and high grade. They were extremely busy it was loud noisy and crowded and the service was poor. But then again since this place had a great setting with ocean views inside and outside seating I still had to give them 5 stars. I was sitting there with friends for over 15 minutes after being seeded with waiters and waitresses running back and forth or just standing around chatting with each other but never coming to the table until I said something

Forrest Love

Great place to relax on the Beach and unwind. Drinks were good if you upgrade away from house liquor, food was excellent. Worth the Price.

Vadim Olari

5 stars for the food! 1 star for asking for more tips. The food was very good no questions, but leaving tips it is not a rule of how much you should leave, that's what I know. A $10 tip for a table of two people I think is enough plus everyone leaves tips as much as they want or can in my opinion, asking for more tip should not be put in discussion at all!!! Hope management will take get a closer look at it...

JSxpress Smith

Eat good food, drink good beers/drinks, and listen to live music. Need I say more? Ok, sit beachside and watch people catch huge fish off the pier too. Great place. Prices may be a little higher than normal, but not when you consider the location.

Errol Augustine

Very nice location .. awesome food menu and drinks..

Peter Martin

My favorite restaurant in Lauderdale by the beach. Amazing food and good music.

Jason Rodriguez

Very casual laid back restaurant. Good seafood options. Very good if u have an appetite, as they serve a good amount of food. Waitress was amazing!!

Francie Novo

Had a great time enjoying the views. Loved the Bimini Bread with the Sweet honey butterThe scallops wrapped in bacon were my favorite. Chicken skewers were delicious too. Portions were large. Probably would of liked the seafood platters grilled. Made sure to leave room for the key lime pie...delicious! Live Music also filled the air.

Conrad Timpf

My favorite beach place to hangout , great food, great drinks, good live music , eat and hit the beach or hit the beach and eat. Great service and lots of beach goers

Ingrid Ortiz

Excellent foodz prices and ambiance. This is my go to spot when I visit Florida.

Cam Desmarais

Reasonably priced drinks and good live music

Mariella Cardinale

I liked the location, right on the beach. Good atmosphere and good food

Robert Brandon

Beautiful place to go for this Sunday Providence right on the ocean staff incredible manager awesome

Adventures of Eliot

I don't you the other day, the quality of food was good, service was quick. Many of the tables throughout the restaurant and have a view of the ocean. There are not many oceanfront restaurants in Broward. Anything the restaurant lacks The view makes up for. They have great live music most of the time. If there's a wait, usually a high top or bar seating is available.

Roger Matar

For me it’s the second time I come with my wife and have dinner, first experience for us it was good in everything , but the second visit which was yesterday night it was very unprofessional and bad, first a waitress came and took the drinks order then a second waitress brought the drinks and put them on the menu directly while we are looking on them to check what we want to eat it was bad attitude from her, my wife orders frozen strawberry lemonade which was taste not good and I got a drink for me as well, finally when we finished and ordered the check to pay, they was charging us for the lemonade drink as an alcohol charges, we spoke with the waitress and told her about the price she said it’s not my problem the first waitress ordered you and I can’t do nothing it is charged as an alcohol drink, I told her to call the manager directly, DONALD the manager come and he sit with us on the table and he was an amazing person changing the stress I have for what happen to a cool time talking about something else, I was planing me and my wife not to come anymore to this place but because of DON we will come back for sure I promised him. He is really a great manager and I wish you a very good luck in your life and I want to tell Aruba Owner that you are lucky guys to have a kind of person that deal with customers. God bless you Don and all the best

A Social Media Consumer

So good! Drinks were perfect. Great food (very flavorful), great view of Atlantic Ocean, good service. Just lovely.

cookiemiami

Best place in Lauderdale by the sea, live music, fresh food, overlooking the ocean..... what more can you ask for? Paradise? You’ve got it! They even have valet parking Burgers are awesome and you can share!! Cheers!!

Miss Alina

Love this place! Great food and drinks and beautiful atmosphere right on the water. Their weekends breakfast buffet is amazing too with a great selection.

Vivian Levine

One of our most popular local restaurants. Great food, beautiful ambiance that allows you to feel like you are right on the beach. They also play live music most of the time, specially at night, always. Their prices are fair and the quality of food is very good. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Vincent Rush

Great ocean side dining with large portions and a great vibe. The valet parking next to the restaurant is kind of a joke. Separate outfit altogether and there is no validation of parking. But it didn't dampen the dining experience. The Caribbean Jerk wings were outstanding and very meaty.

Thamahr Alexis-Woon

Best local cafe, right on the beach. Cozy atmosphere. Great live music. Indoor and outdoor seating. Amazing food and strong drinks. Friendly service. Valet parking. We absolutely Love this place....

Daniel Frazer

All.great live music and drink and food are consistently good.

Tim Cronkhite

We are here from Oregon visiting my niece and nephew and they took us here for happy hour. The prices are okay. The food and drinks aren't bad. The view is really nice it's on the beach. They had a live band Friday. The staff I have mixed feelings. Hostess wasn't really nice it seemed it was more of an inconvenience asking her a question about happy hour. Oh and happy hour people you only get to sit outside in the pub table area. That was odd to me.

Jack Brown

Great menu with variety. Very good service and an amazing sea side view. ENJOY!

Sarah Joëlle Grant

I came here while on a 4 night vacation and I enjoyed it! The live music was super loud and I could barely hear my server and it wasn't the best music. Drinks weren't too bad, I would give them a 6 out of 10 (10 being the highest) the food, however was really good. I got the spring rolls and seafood platter ( I know I enjoy eating) I would give that a 8 out of 10. I would return here whenever I'm in Florida.

Margit Scheffler

Fantastic food and service..great atmosphere .would go there many more times with my family.

Laurie Inguaggiato

I was pleasantly surprised by the fair pricing for the location. Love the Bimini bread! Atmosphere is more fun than romantic, can get pretty loud during the evenings.

Zachary Alasia

Great location and view, service was great we just had drinks and they were great

PRDavid J

Live it ..relax and big inside , front beach with an amazing view

Idania Hernandez

Stunning view and delicious food. Excellent service. My favorite place to eat in Lauderdale by the sea!

Jorge Sierra

Super nice view.. breakfast on Sunday buffet perfect to start the day.

Barbara Murphy

Ate here a couple of times while at Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. The varied menu, nice location, local color, and easy walking distance from our hotel made it one of our favorites while visiting here with friends. Something for everyone!

Claude Dukes

Grouper sandwich was not fresh, I suspect frozen and not very good. The server was even worse than the food. Server was slow and our appetizer was never delivered. It’s a shame that the experience was so poor because the location is great.

Chuck Yocum

Food tasted great but waited 35 minutes for food to come and the waiter forgot to bring our appetizer. The appetizer was oysters so no excuse. Had to leave a 10 percent tip. Straight up the waiters fault he should have checked the kitchen for our food

Kaessa

Wonderful little cafe, great food, perfect location. Service is great.

RJ Smith

The seafood medley is so good! There usually is not a long wait to be seated, and Aruba has pretty much everything from burgers to sandwiches to grill cheese to steaks and you name this is a very good restaurant and it is located in the pristine little village of Lauderdale by the Sea. On weekends there’s always a block party put on by the city, it is a great place to visit and a wonderful place to live. I love it.

Andrew Allen

Awesome food, loving the city vibe and great people

Jaime Esposito

Is it just me? Everyone from out of town wants me to take them here, but I’ve never been impressed with the food. The atmosphere is incredible in Lauderdale-by-the-sea... but this place consistently disappoints me. There are plenty of better choices on every other corner. Most recent visit my roll was moldy and the time before that my crab cake tasted off. I am not picky when it comes to food, but I do want it to be edible. Stars for a great atmosphere to enjoy a few beers.

Devin Marie Marcinkevich

I love this place! They have such a nice spot on the beach. Definitely a place to go if you are on vacation!

Flavia Damveld

A little crowded Great music,dance floor,overall good and fun

Eduardo Nunez

The Point !! Very nice open place to enjoy at any time. Get on time to enjoy a good time

Kevin

Right on the beach with view of the ocean. I'm giving five stars based on quality of food, drink and service. My blackened snapper was nothing less than perfect. The smoked wahoo dip was delicious. If you're looking for cozy or romantic you might want to look elsewhere. This is a large venue and can get quite noisy.

Jennifer Haggberg

This place was fun, right on the beach with indoor & outdoor seating, it had huge glass windows that covered the whole wall so you could look out at the beach, pier, & ocean. The homemade bread with the glaze topping & honey butter was delicious.

Anthony Cortez

Wow we were so looking forward to this lunch. After reading all the reviews we were sure it was a hit. Have to say the ceviche was a hit,,,,but thats where it stopped. Drinks were strait alcohol which normally would not be a problem but not for us. Ordered a seafood sampler platter that was just aweful. Lobster,shrimp,and scallops were serverely over cooked and tough as nails. Zero flavor. If we hadnt traveled all day we would have left. Would highly recommend anything else.

Jacee Lynn

I had the best meal I’ve ever had here! My friend and I were on vacation and went to Aruba for dinner and it was beyond amazing! Whoever the cook was Saturday the 17th was so amazing!!!

Buddy Mountcastle

Great place to eat any time of the day or night. Good food and great view. Lively entertainment on the weekend too. Great location

Fidelio Mcdonald

Great place to go with your date, nice view. great service, good food. From top to down very good place. Recommend them.

Ron Pawlak

Great beach front location. Usually have live music. The biggest plus though is Marget. She is an awesome bartender that we met. Great service. Always nice. Stop in and ask for her..

Brian Binder

Great place right on the beach. Good food and beer selection. Definitely a great place to stop by for a few drinks and some food while out on the beach.

Chris Olson

At Lauderdale by the Sea! In the heart of the shopping district next to the ocean. Great menu selection!

Lassya Ramineni

One of my favorite places in Fort Lauderdale. Outdoor seating here is really nice. The beach view is magnificent. Best time to go here is at the sunset. The live music really warms your heart. Don't forget to try their cocktails.

Mario Schlindwein

it's the perfect place for you to have fun with friends or meet different people to the tune of a song. You can enjoy and enjoy a very updated music by the sea to the sound of the waves and even dance. You can sing, dance, have a good beer and have a wonderful snack or dinner, seafoot are special.It's perfect snack

Jay Stokes

Terrible service. Happy hour food is ONLY in the bar and there is very limited seating there. And ONLY if you buy a drink... Thankfully the drinks are cheap for happy hour! Live music was great! Large menu. OUTSTANDING view. But like I said, the service attitude, efficiency, follow up, speed and even non verbal facial expressions were horrible.

Eve Seidman

I don't see what all the hype is about with this place. It's very close to the beach that's it. Food is okay nothing special. Always a wait. I prefer 101 so much more.

Tracie Quander

Great food and scenery. Attentive staff

Barb lee

Very accommodating! It was very windy where we were sitting outside and they moved us to a window view table inside during a very busy time. Drinks and food were all perfect! Thank you for a nice evening!

John H

If you go, in the evening, sit outside. Away from the hustle and bustle but still right on the sand. Amazing views of the water. Great food, decent service.

Felicia Samuels

I’m from Toronto and I’ve been going to this place for about 15 years now and not once has it disappointed. Best place in town with the best drinks and seafood. I’m not the biggest fan of live music in a restaurant and somehow at this place I’ve ended up on the dance floor.

BAT Tay

Great Vibes .On the ocean. Food delish. Vibrant atmosphere. Ask for Jason - mixologist. Try the muddled Gin martini

Bobbe Wright

The food was great with perfect location and atmosphere, unfortunately the service was poor and the servers acted as he did not like the job or just did not care. The manager/owner came to ask how was everything, the server never did. Makes you not want to return.

Tracey Powers

A nice Oasis in Lauderdale by the Sea! Waiter was great, seafood soup was fantastic, and grilled squid salad was very good. Restaurant is right on the sand. Really nice!

Patricia Gannon

We ate here sun sept 29th the view of the beach was spectacular I got the chicken pasta which was delicious also my daughter got the pizza which was delicious as well! They have a gentleman who plays the steal drums while there of the modern music these days he's excellent its very loud so youll have to yell at your waiter there was a strong smell of fish which was to be expected I guess overall excellent experience if youre looking for something cheap to eat this place isnt for you

Traci Capetillo

HORRIBLE - you can have a much better experience at other beach restaurants. Went there with my mom and wanted to have drinks and an appetizer. First off, it is SO over-crowded in there on the weekend, we were not impressed with the cleanliness and the friendliness of staff initially but just decided to stay since we were already there. We ordered alcohol drinks and said we just wanted an appetizer. The server said he would have to charge us an up charge of $4.00 since we we were ‘sharing’, unless we ordered something else. Since WHEN is sharing an appetizer something out of the ordinary that requires an up-charge? The server argued with me until I insisted that the manager come to our table. The manager was more reasonable and said there wouldn’t be an up-charge, but at that point we didn’t even feel like eating or dealing with our server. We asked to pay for our drinks and leave.

Jennifer Corpus

This place is really chill and at the same time super lively especially with the band. I took my niece here from Dallas and my daughter here. A really good time, the bar tender awesome,honestly can't remember her name. I'll call her Jersry,nice girl super attentive. This place is great for family, kids, date night or even alone. You won't be disappointed.

Jason St. Gelais

Wow what an amazing taste to go with the view of the waves crashing against the sandy beach. Service and atmosphere excellent. Server was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Even had a live singer. This place is a must if you are traveling in the area and looking for a great experience.

Bee Bee

Not great. Food tasteless and overpriced. Only saving grace is the location.

Eileen Gibbons

Just love this place! Great view, excellent menu and food, awesome service!

Kendra Hurrell

Cool place, a lot bigger than I expected, great spot to hang out after dark and grab a few drinks. Variation of seating options makes this place ideal for pretty much anyone and any reason. Bar tender was prompt and friendly.

Chelsea G

Took a walk down to the beach to eat and could not have had a better experience, great band playing, beautiful view, great service and AMAZING seafood and drinks. Highly recommend

Nona Bernard

We love to come here for brunch, lunch, dinner, for drinks...anytime. I love the Bimini bread, conch fritters, caprese salad and just about any appetizer they offer. Love the lobster and salmon. My Husband loves the seasonal crab and all the fish dishes. I highly recommend. We valet for parking. Sometimes there is an extremely loooong wait so be prepared. Also, they sometimes have a little band/music which is really enjoyable.

christopher dabek

Beach side restaurant with live music, awesome food and a great selection of drinks, live bands and overall phenomenal atmosphere! A definite must see and experience when in Fort Lauderdale. I would recommend the Beyond Burger on the menu- super delish ! Laid back awesome climate with minute walk to the ocean. We went here 2 night in a row - just absolutely amazing! Dancing, food drinks and fun

Alek Kocher

This was a wonderful place to eat lunch. I went there twice on my trip to Florida. The service was friendly and fast, reasonable prices, and the fries were probably the best I’ve ever had. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy a delicious meal with a view of the ocean!

Mariah G

Very nice venue with great views of the beach. Had a very delicious and strong Margarita.

Mel Snow

Location was nice. Was really dark in there. Food was okay. Was expecting amazing food after reading reviews. Was really disappointed. The quality was takeout food. The price was really high for quality of food. Kids food frozen pizza. Would not go back. Mulligans across the street was so much better.

Uri Ortiz

Friday happy hour very happy! Good music and Bob the bartender alway pours an excellently mixed drink.

suzanne chesser

Surprisingly good for a “touristy” spot! The food was good and the View is unsurpassed! And the drinks were Not overpriced! I felt like a tourist in my own hometown and enjoyed it!!!

Denise Williams

The Atmosphere is Beautiful, while you're having a Good Lunch or Dinner. It's best to go, during the Daytime, because you'll be able to see the Beautiful Ocean.

BAIL BONDS FORT LAUDERALE

Great ambiance and decent food... and there is lots to do in the area when your dine with dinner

nadya watson

Great place with live music. Lobster bisque was delicious, coconut shrimp and blue crab dip too! Great drinks and tasty key lime pie!

Clarissa Campos

Great place, in front of the ocean. Very busy and they also have music. Great for families. I ordered Broiled seafood platter, it’s a big plate that you can easily share. Delicious!

Chris Harkless

Good place to kick back! Always good live entertainment.

Kelly Bystrom

Great scenery. Friendly bar staff. Decent food.

I am appalled at my experience here today with my father and my 1 year old son, we were looking for somewhere to sit down out of the rain, and grab a few drinks and maybe get some fries and food in due course. We were told to sit anywhere. We found a nice window booth that could accommodate my son in his stroller out of the way from people, and could see the view as my dad was visiting from England and I wanted to share this place with him as I come here all the time. After we were seated for 5 mins, a lady served walked over and asked if we were eating, to which I said no just drinks for now, she told me we couldn’t sit there and would have to sit at the bar or high tables with stools around the bar. I can not sit at the bar with my son and the high tables are not suitable for the stroller. We stood there with half the restaurant looking at us as we tried to find somewhere suitable we were “allowed” to sit at. Meanwhile they sat another couple at the table we had just been told to move from, there we’re plenty of empty tables in the restaurant so it’s not like there was a shortage of tables for people to eat at. Back to us, The only suitable table was a low table reserved for disabled patrons with stools- in the middle of traffic, not out of the way, relaxing or the type of environment we’d come here to enjoy and also not suitable for my 70 year old father to have to sit on a chair with no back. I walked over to the server, expressed my disappointment in her poor lack of judgement and told her we would be leaving as we didn’t feel welcome nor felt it was a family friendly atmosphere. I will not be returning even though I love their bread. So sad. I fish at the pier all the time and stop here often. Shame on u Aruba, your staff need better training to use common sense and judgement instead of discriminating and alienating patrons.

Really love this place! Ironically I have only gone during the evening time but the view of the moon on the Atlantic Ocean is equally beautiful. “I see the moon and the moon sees me...” Great menu too and the servers are really nice and welcoming to tourist.

Went here with friends a couple of times. Being a creature of habit, I order the same thing each time we go - the seafood quesadilla. One of my friends got the fish tacos and we shared. It was delicious!

Angel Arias

Pricey... yeah... but everything is in that area. I had the seafood quesadilla. Amazing, plump and delicious. Wife can't stop raving about the mahi sandwich too!

Michael Lee

Amazing food and service... Thanks for the hospitality. Amazing Blackened Mahi, Ahi Tuna and Cevichi.

Carolina Bustamante

Awesome environment, right next to the shore of the beach. Not the cleanest beach, but best in nice environment (music and people wise). Affordable parking available in surrounding areas. Awesome live music and food. Customer Service was great. I will definitely come back and recomend this place.

THIS REVIEW IS IN REGARDS TO THE VALET SERVICE THIS EVENING OUTSIDE OF ARUBAS, THE MANAGER OF THE VALET SERVICE WAS EXTREMELY DEMEANING, & RUDE TO MY HUSBAND. SO MUCH SO THAT WE NO LONGER WISHED TO ENJOY OUR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY DINNER AT THE RESTAURANT. SOTIRI (MANAGER) OF VALET NEEDS TRAINING ON THE APPROPRIATE WAY TO SPEAK TO CUSTOMERS. IF IT WHERE MY COMPANY ID WANT BETTER SERVICE FOR MY CONSUMERS & HE DEFINITELY ISNT IT. THE OWNER NEEDS TO BE MADE AWARE OF THE CHARACTER OF ALL STAFF.

the food is great, surprised since most places you find by the beach haven't been as good. there service was awesome, Chris was real nice and helpful with great recommendations for food and drinks. the view is awesome cause you're tight there by the beach and the restaurant feels tropical like a coconut on a beach!

Amanda Lynn

We had a great meal and enjoyed the live music very much!

joe dino

Awsome food awsome manager guy was the best

Tim Haley

Amazing view of the beach and ocean while you eat. Foods not bad I think portions should be a little bigger for what you pay. 5 stars because of the atmosphere and service and probably a 3 or 4 for the food.

Gail Whitted

Love this place. It's so much like being in the Caribbean, and the menu is quite extensive. Drinks are good too!

Derrick Jones

Our family of 6 enjoyed sitting by the beach and eating a fantastic coastal lunch. The bread was a highlight! We could've had two loaves. The portions are ample and the service was perfect.

Niki Irving

great place to eat on the beach! food delicious, staff and service excellent, a band too! got to try their bread ask for their special bread!

Casey Dolan

What an amazing view, delicious food, great service, lively crowd, cool music...what more could you ask for...

Kamele McLaren

Super packed. Best bet is to grab a seat at the bar. Great food. The waiting system is very creative...balloons with names inspired by the ocean, food, liquor... and when they run out of ideas just plain old letters of the alphabet.

Nicarah White

We had an awesome time celebrating with My Aunts birthday. It's a cool place to hangout
