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.

    Christmas Eve with loud club music, plus seating next to the kitchen, plus along the path to the bathroom. All of which would have been forgivable with fantastic food, but it was average. As one of my guests said, people seemed more interested in photographing their food rather than how it tasted.

    * The place was busy, and everybody was in good spirits. Perhaps enhanced by the holidays. * Cocktails were nicely executed, although a bit overpriced. * Appetizers were mediocre (calamari seemed frozen, monkeybread was whatever, fried shrimps were so-so, and smoked octopus was good. * Rib-eye was all fat. *The Tomahawk as expected, was nothing great but an overpriced Show. * The "free" donuts are a tacky marketing gimmick. * Coconut creme brulee was amazing. The waiter was great (Horacio I think was his name)

    Service was awful. Server lacked professionalism. It was business dinner and I was embarrassed in front of the client. No beer selection/ out of stock of any decent beer. We had to ask 3 times to get spoons for desert. Drinks were taking a long time and holiday drink didn’t come as described in holiday ornament!

    The service and ambience were great, but the food was lacking. We came here last year for a business holiday meeting as well, and there has definitely been a degradation across the board in the quality of the food presentation.

    I had the wagyu strip steak, price 100 dollars.. way to overpriced and was a very bad piece of meat … not worth the price at all!
