    One of my favorite restaurants on Fort Lauderdale Beach. Directly across from the water, amazing food and even better customer service. Everyone is so friendly and actually cares about the service you are receiving. It's one of my go-to's when I just want to sit at the bar, people watch and let some stress off. Highly recommend (and this is coming from a Florida native) Hope this helps!
