Best Seafood Restaurants in Downtown

Kimmy (Kimberly) was a fantastic server and the ambience, food and overall service was 5-star. Recommend to everyone. Will be back!

My husband and I dine out at least five times a week, and being in the food industry, we’ve explored just about every full-service restaurant in the Fort Lauderdale/Wilton Manors area. Eddie V’s consistently stands out, not just as a great restaurant but as a vibrant dining experience we can’t resist returning to. While the atmosphere is lively—some might call it overly-energetic—it’s all part of the experience. This isn’t the place for quiet conversation, but the buzz adds to the sense of occasion, making every visit feel celebratory. If you want a “quieter” experience, see if you can score a seat in their back dining room. It’s not available for small parties very often, but sometimes it is, and we love it. About the food and service…they’re exceptional. On the rare occasion something fell short, the general manager went above and beyond to make it right, showcasing a level of professionalism we truly admire. Eddie V’s is often seen as a “special occasion” spot, but we think it’s perfect for any night you want to treat yourself. If you go, ask for Aga—she’s warm, personable, and one of the most polished professionals we’ve had the pleasure of being served by. Highly recommended for a high-energy, first-class meal, whether it’s a big night out or just because you deserve something extraordinary.

Excellent food but the service was a bit slow. But overall excellent

It was our last/big night out in FTL, searched online for best restaurants, were in the mood for seafood, having had Mexican, Italian and Chinese on the trip. Wild Sea was #2 overall, was in the area we wanted, so made an online res for 7:30 (outside was not an option). We went over early to have a drink in the area and thought maybe stop by and ask about outside for our res an hour later (it was gorgeous out). Being a Mon night, was not too crowded, said could seat us now outside, so we went for it. We kept all our apps and entrees to seafood and each were great (I had the seafood chowder and the scallops). Service was good and the prices reasonable. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely great choice for bday dinner! Location great, service great and food fantastic.
