Amazing rooftop experience and great environment. The food and drinks were delicious and the staff was super friendly. They even had a dj making the ambience even more enjoyable. I went for brunch & must definitely come back for a sunset/dinner experience next.

The house of Vue brunch is a wonderful experience and we had the perfect weather to accompany the ambiance created by the house team. Right on the Riverwalk with a great view of the river and activities. We ordered the Vue Rose (x2 bottles!) for three of us. Started with the caviar and Chips appetizer followed by a burger with truffle fries, the frite bites and a Caesar salad with chicken. A perfect afternoon.

Moxies was the best dinner we had during our visit to Ft Lauderdale! The drinks were amazing, food was absolutely delicious. It is quite loud with a big bar scene, but we don't mind that vibe! Definitely a place to check out. We will be back!!
