    We absolutely love Burlock Coast when we are visiting Fort Lauderdale. Excellent food. Excellent service. We have several with food allergies and they are amazing at being able to provide safe options for each of us. We’ve dined as just a couple and as a group of 6. Each time they haven’t skipped a bit. They care about where we want to sit and what we want to eat. Thank you!

    Our server(wish I remembered her name) was excellent. So much so that we actually spent some time talking about how attentive, informative, not overbearing, and thoughtful she was. The food was excellent, we each had something different burger, omelette, chicken sandwich, mahi sandwich. We shared the ridiculously tasty Bimini bread. Very accommodating when it came to tweaking meals and drinks to our liking. This was my best visit yet!
