Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Lauderdale by the Sea

We had the Theo’s chips and stuffed squash flowers for appetizers. I would highly recommend both. My wife had the Bronzino and I had the filet mignon souvlaki. They were both excellent. I tried their great beer Mythos which was crisp and refreshing. My wife had the spicy margarita and she enjoyed it. Unfortunately, we did not have room for dessert, but they looked fantastic. This place was recommended to us by my cousin, and I can’t wait to think of when I see her.

Always a great meal at Sea Watch! It was Valentine’s weekend, so we knew they’d be busy. Everything was served with little delay. Three of us enjoyed the scallops while the fourth had the Seafood Mixed Grill. Nice wine list, too. Prices are fair, and we (almost) always have leftovers to take home!

Wonderful roasted tomatoe flatbread always to perfection and delicious nutritious selections.Well managed by friendly Amanda and best service by efficient kind Kylee makes for regular weekly dining experience.

ALWAYS THE BEST, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. STEVE PUTS OUT QUALITY FOOD YOU CANNOT GET ANYWHERE ELSE. YES IT CAN GET A LITTLE LOUD, THE SERVERS CAN RUSH YOU OUT AFTER TWO HOURS, AND IT IS A LITTLE EXPENSIVE. BUT REMEMBER ONE THING AND ONE THING ONLY, IT’S ABOUT THE FOOD STUPID, IT’S ABOUT THE FOOD!

Had. Overly visit for a birthday celebration the other evening. When we arrived we were asked if we wanted to be seated o the bar are or the dining room. We chose the bar, and Raphael. Seated at a huge table with cushioned seats and pillows for comfort. The table could have compacted an additional 3 but we loved the space . The food was perfect. Calamari and a caprese appetizer, a veal dish ( perfectly executed) a chicken dish ( with the sauce brought on the side since that guest had asked several questions about the sauces so Raphael made that part of his service), and the seafood ravioli. We were almost too full from the apps that we couldn’t finish all our meal. These were graciously boxed and given to us. Raphael had overheard us wish our guest a Happy Birthday, and before we had even decided on whether or not to have a dessert he brought her a lovely tiramisu with happy birthday and roses on the plate. Totally u expected and thoroughly appreciated. There was an Apple tart ordered which the other party in the group loved. At no time did we ever feel pushed to finish, nor were we left without attention. The entire staff kept an eye on us but never intruded on our visit. If there is anything on a negative about our evening it was the group seated next to us who spent their entire time LOUDLY trashing a former friend, neighbor or co- worker, getting increasingly louder with each drink. Fortunately, they left before we had truly started our mains, and the atmosphere become much more relaxing afterwards. ( we seated in the bar area so I did expect to hear some additional voices versus theDining Room. When this group left it was more civilized voices at civilized levels. Nothing to do with Vico- just poor public behavior by adults old well old enough to know better.) Prices are entirely reasonable for we ordered and were given. We’ve never had a bad experience nor a bad meal at Cafe Vico. The kitchen is consistent and the staff gracious
