Happened to be around the area on a Saturday night and all places Las Olas were packed. Then, I remember I had visited this restaurant many years ago and there it was, still on the same spot next to the river. Laid back atmosphere, place where locals go. Good drinks, good service. Everything was delicious. The calamari was exactly what I was looking for lightly dusted and not too salty. The burger was cooked to order and very juicy. The quesadilla was full of meat! Wow, I'm glad I found this place again ????
Review from a non local! Riverside seating and views made our meal delicious and fun. Ordered the mahi fish tacos with Spanish fried rice, sirloin steak tacos, shrimp cocktail appetizer, and Lauderdale Brewery Coconut Porter. Everything was delicious! Hot and fresh. Absolutely delectable. The coconut porter was very interesting; tasted like a Guinness with coconut. Service was wonderful and very attentive. Our server was excellent and was very knowledgeable of the menus. Family friendly restaurant. I really loved the water views. Everything was nice already but the waterside seats made it just more fun. Highly recommend!
Excellent service and food was super fresh and tasty. You can't beat the view and atmosphere in the surrounding area. The prices are very reasonable especially for a waterfront dining experience. Wilp be back again for sure.
