Experience modern, coastal Italian cuisine at Fort Lauderdale's newest hot spot, La Fuga. Chef Michael Mayer infuses local South Florida flavors with classic Italian staples to create a fusion of crave-worthy, contemporary dishes.

La Fuga, (Italian for "the escape,") is nestled in the heart of the Kimpton Shorebreak, named in homage to the location’s historic beginnings. The newly renovated Kimpton Shorebreak occupies a unique space in Fort Lauderdale, originally opened as The Escape Hotel in 1949.

La Fuga pays tribute to it's origin story in name and also in atmosphere. Featuring midcentury design, and a laid-back vibe, the indoor-outdoor dining room includes views of the hotel's scenic courtyard and provides access to a rooftop pool overlooking Fort Lauderdale’s intercoastal.

    Food was just ok, expensive, the service was terrible, and the birds on the patio were very annoying

    Ambiance and greeting staff were what you'd expect for beautiful Ft. Lauderdale; however, waiter and a couple of entrees were underwhelming.

    The server was a little late in providing water and taking our order, but from that point on the service was excellent. The live music was enjoyable.

    La Fuga is a hidden hotspot at the Kimpton Shorebreak! Excellent food, cocktails and wine in a lovely setting (outside by the pool is fantastic!), and great, attentive and caring service.

    Sat out by the pool at dusk. Truly lovely setting. Excellent service. Everything we ordered was delicious, including dessert ( Panna Cotta is out of this world!) The finest dining near Ft Lauderdale Beach. Heads up: Be prepared to pay $23 for a shot of fine tequila.

    The food was outstanding, fresh ingredients and very creative. Our waiter Jonathan was excellent, helpful, and attentive. The arancini were amazing, and I loved the lobster ravioli. Even the bread was good and moist, unusual for many Italian restaurants, and the olive oil mixture for the bread was phenomenal. Overall, a very pleasant dining experience

    Great dinner for 2 Brits looking for a good meal on a Monday evening. We shared a bruschetta and a Tuscan salad to start, then both had branzini mains , then shared a panna cotta dessert. Food is very well presented and delicious, portions are big, but size doesn't comprise on quality. We each received 2 thick branzini fillets and struggled to finish them but made it! Staff are friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed with families welcome but there remains a vibe of a high end restaurant and staff are professional and attentive. The manager spoke to us and it was good to see him as a maitre d should be , always present and helping everything run smoothly. Wish we had found sooner! Thank you.
