    We were in Ft Lauderdale for lunch and wanted somewhere nice on the water. The table outside was great and private and the service and food were perfect. Highly recommend eating here.

    Excellent service. Nice variety on menu of primarily seafood dishes. Anything we had with a sauce was quite spicy so if you like spicy you'll love it if not ask to skip the sauces. I would rate cost a little on the mid to high range but overall a nice experience.
