Best Seafood Restaurants in Ft. Lauderdale

Wow! First of all I was expecting the restaurant in itself to be small because of the looks of the entrance but I think it’s like a trick to fool you at first because once you get to the place in itself it is HUGE! And the vibes are amazing! The music is so good and just the right volume, the hosts are extremely friendly and accommodating, they have sitting indoors and outdoors and indoors/outdoorsy which is also a surprise factor. We started the evening with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and some of their Sweet Petites oysters. We the ordered a second round because the oysters were phenomenal but this time we went with (3) Bar stools and (3) Mamma Mia! (Yes, oysters that were also amazing SPECIALLY the bar stools!) Our server Valeria was a sweetheart and made the best recommendations for the oysters and the food, we were a little shy to ask but before we could even stress out about asking for the best dishes she read our minds and gave us an incredible walkthrough of the best items on the menu and popular amongst guests. We ordered the crab cake (it’s a classic, a must truly) and when I tell you all I could say throughout the entire night was WOW! I am not exaggerating at all, this place is incredible and I hope as a local you are definitely holding loyalty for it SEAFOOD wise because it really should be the only place you are visiting. The Crab Cake is usually two but we only got one since we didn’t know if it was going to fill us up and didn’t wanted to waste food THAT WAS A HUGE mistake we later regretted after taking the first bite of this amazing heavenly crab cake, never again eating this dish anywhere else. The French fries are also made from scratch and they are perfect NOT GREASY at all, right on point with the salt and crispy outside with a very good fluffy situation inside. Loch bar was without a doubt one of those spots you have been neglecting for a while not knowing the treasure hidden inside.

First the food was absolutely delicious. It was unanimous. We all agreed that the food was great and very plentiful. My wife and I shared the cobb salad. It was great and could have served 3-4 people. The entrees were all around were the same. Delicious and more than we could finish. The service was friendly and very capable. I only wished the menu had more choices.

A very interesting and full menu to choose from. Always interesting for the Season we are in. Server was excellent and was most attentive to our dining experience. We enjoyed the conversation because we could actually hear each other for the entire evening. We were not rushed from one course to the other, so it was a real "dining" experience. Never had a bad meal in this restaurant. Not our first trip here.

Despite the busy holiday crowd, the service and food were exceptional. Chuck was informative and knowledgeable about the menu selections and was an attentive, gracious server. City Fish is consistently fabulous! Highly recommend the Clams Casino, Crab Fritters, Skillet Seafood Newburg, and the Stuffed Flounder. It was our first time trying those particular menu items, and they were delicious! The Crab Fritters were so good that I could have feasted on only them and been ecstatic!

I was pleasantly surprised they were open for lunch on Christmas Eve, but they did not advertise it, and there was only one other table there. The meal was perfect, as always. We had excellent service and an attentive manager. We felt very special, but we felt bad that they had to work just for us.
