    Everything about the evening was perfect. The manager spent time with us acknowledging a birthday. It’s about a 3 hour drive to get here for us but well worth it - finish g a spectacular weekend .

    Wonderful food and service and ambience. We have been so disappointed at so many supposed fine dining restaurants ever since Covid drove qualified people out of the industry, that we were very pleased that at least one restaurant has maintained its standards. Bravo to management, servers and kitchen staff. Can’t wait to eat there again!

    During my first visit to Boatyard in Fort Lauderdale, we had lunch with a friend and was thoroughly impressed. The Lobster Salad Roll was a standout, offering a generous portion of fresh lobster in a perfectly toasted New England roll. Equally delightful was the Snow Crab Chowder, rich and flavorful, making for a comforting start to the meal. The ambiance was both vibrant and relaxing, capturing the essence of waterfront dining. The service was attentive and warm, enhancing the overall experience. Nestled by the water, Boatyard’s location adds to its charm, making it a must-visit spot in Fort Lauderdale.

    Our waiter, Mike, was great. He went overboard to satisfy a couple of special requests we had. Hostess also was very nice to accommodate us. Food was much, much better than we expected. Very nice physical facility although parking could be an issue. Can't wait to go back!!!

    Our server, Shamar, was fun, attentive and helpful. Added greatly to our enjoyable experience. We both had fish dishes, and they were excellent. Interesting menu, good drinks, didn't rush us, but were there if we needed them.
