We had a spectacular experience, driven by the attentive and friendly service by Jolie, Ariel, and Brittany. The food and view were both fantastic and the cocktails were top-notch. However, the service is what truly made it a 5 star experience. We were only in town for a night but will be sure to revisit next time we are in town!

Overall the dining experience was “good”. The soup was delicious, the chop salad was excellent and the dessert was very good. The main dish, Scottish Salmon was over cooked & burnt on the top. No pre-dinner bread & butter was a disappointment. The food server was fair at best. After we order and were served two desserts, she brought a birthday cake because one of us was celebrating a birthday. I’m not sure why the server did not inform us that a birthday cake was being served, so we could have not ordered two desserts. Due to her poor communication, the birthday cake went to waste!

Would have rated the atmosphere higher but we were seated at the table closest to the kitchen. The steak I had was great, steak sauce was not good in my own opinion. My wife’s mayo was excellent as well as the citrus butter sauce. Great spot, always seem to end up here when I return to Lauderdale.

We had a wnderful time at the Boatyard. Our server was amazing and attentive the entire evening. We had a great table where we could watch the Chef orchestrate the kitchen masterfully. The food was excellent from the Calamari which you could cut with your tongue to the Caesar Salad which was dressed perfectly to the Surf and Turf that was superb. The ultimate was the side of onion rings we ordered. They were so delicious. Highly recommend! The drinks were fun and festive as well. We will be back when we are in Ft Lauderdale
