Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Lauderdale by the Sea

We had the best meal we’ve had in a long time - especially for the value it was. 10/10 recommend when here in Fort Lauderdale!!!

Branzino is not as good as it was when I first started visiting this place in 2023. I won’t come back for it. Service was kind of slow. I had to go find the server to pay the bill, after sitting there for over 10 minutes.

Absolutely loved everything about our dinner at YOLO. The service, the food, the atmosphere were outstanding. We are already planning our next visit!

We ate dinner ate dinner at the chefs table. While it is very pricey, it was well worth the experience. The food was spectacular. There is a reason that the chef has Michelin stars and there is no doubt they are coming for MAASS as well. Our host Nathan was awesome. If you get him talking music, you get a show with dinner. He was great giving us a great education on what we were eating while allowing us to enjoy the expereince. Highly recommend doing their wine pairings with the dinner. The artists in the kitchen have created an exceptionally special menu. Can’t wait to see what spring brings. Will definitely return.
