Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Dorsey-Riverbend

Second time here and just as good as the first. They make dinner so fun and great vibes. Is your date boring? Well don’t worry the sushi chefs will keep you entertained. This place and food is phenomenal.

My husband and I dine out at least five times a week, and being in the food industry, we’ve explored just about every full-service restaurant in the Fort Lauderdale/Wilton Manors area. Eddie V’s consistently stands out, not just as a great restaurant but as a vibrant dining experience we can’t resist returning to. While the atmosphere is lively—some might call it overly-energetic—it’s all part of the experience. This isn’t the place for quiet conversation, but the buzz adds to the sense of occasion, making every visit feel celebratory. If you want a “quieter” experience, see if you can score a seat in their back dining room. It’s not available for small parties very often, but sometimes it is, and we love it. About the food and service…they’re exceptional. On the rare occasion something fell short, the general manager went above and beyond to make it right, showcasing a level of professionalism we truly admire. Eddie V’s is often seen as a “special occasion” spot, but we think it’s perfect for any night you want to treat yourself. If you go, ask for Aga—she’s warm, personable, and one of the most polished professionals we’ve had the pleasure of being served by. Highly recommended for a high-energy, first-class meal, whether it’s a big night out or just because you deserve something extraordinary.

Favourite restaurant on A1A! Love the food and the ambience. A staple in Fort Lauderdale.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Moxie and it was an experience worth sharing. From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting ambiance set the tone for the evening. The decor strikes the perfect balance between modern and cozy, with soft lighting and thoughtfully arranged seating that encourages relaxation and conversation. The food was nothing but perfect al the dishes was sharable and each bite was a testament to the chef’s skill and attention to detail. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the presentation was impressive without being pretentious. The service was another highlight. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely friendly, making us feel right at home. Whether you’re looking for a spot for a romantic dinner, a celebration, or just a great meal out, Moxie is a fantastic choice. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of their menu!

Shared a great salad & non- briny blue point oysters. Steak prepared perfectly, while I like to avoid the carbs of bread, theirs was way too good to resist. Excellent service. This is where we go for some of our finest dinners in Fort Lauderdale.
