Operated by a philosophy that it derives its name from, YOLO and neighboring O Lounge are vibrant, much-loved staples in the South Florida culinary and nightlife scene. The swanky Fort Lauderdale restaurant and adjacent lounge serves thoughtfully prepared contemporary American cuisine in a sophisticated, bustling atmosphere that includes a bar and dining room with open kitchen, and an outdoor patio, and features inventive cocktails and an extensive wine list to complement the menu. The longtime Las Olas hotspot serves up lunch and dinner daily, and is legendary for its happy hour and Brunch on Saturday & Sunday.

    We had a very pleasant dining experience. It was our first time at YOLO. I originally asked for outdoor seating but when we got there they had music outside that was loud. The hostess was helpful and moved us to a nice booth inside which was much quieter and comfortable. Server, Susana, was very nice and pleasant. Attentive! We would go back.

    We’ve visited here several times. Nice looking restaurant with an innovative menu. Good food. Unfortunately there’s a DJ and the loud and bass driven music overwhelms the atmosphere and the entire facility. The ability to have conversation without yelling in the restaurant is challenging. (I’m reminded of my younger days of disco. lol) Just an odd mix. If you’re looking for a place to unwind, have good conversation, and enjoy an upscale dining experience - this is not likely the place for you.😑

    My experience was horrible as soon as I stepped in through the door. My waiter was amazing , God bless him. My reservation was for 10pm but we waited 40 minutes for a table. When we walked in through the front to check in for our reservation, it was chaotic and unorganized . A sign was needed to let individuals know this is the check in line so thank God security came to direct us . Staff had attitude , kitchen kept getting how I wanted my food done wrong , and once the food was sent back to be modified to my liking they sent the food back cold . Plus part of the steak that my table ordered was burnt . It was just a mess. Horrible Valentine’s Day experience !!!

    This was our first time trying YOLO and it beat our expectations from the ambiance the service and most definitely the food! Everything was even more spectacular because it was Valentine’s Day but I will definitely say this place is one of my top restaurants

    As it has been since its opening on Las Olas, YOLO is THE place to be! From the vibe to the drinks, food, and service (including a rose for every patron on Valentine's Day), everything is excellent. For special occasions, don't miss the fabulous donut tree!!

    Trendy, nice place but value for money does not equal. Asked for our salad to come out first and it came out with entrees. Pellegrino was served warm and we had to send it back. Ordered a $90 steak and came out over cooked. Was not able to eat at the same time as my partner for Valentines. Manager never stopped buy to apologize or check in on experience. Won’t be returning.
