My Favorite Waterfront Restaurants

 Waterfront Restaurants 

My favorite waterfront restaurants:

• Southport Raw Bar
• A Fort Lauderdale staple. Casual waterfront restaurant with live music on the weekends and free dockage.
• Coconuts
• Views of Fort Lauderdale's Intracoastal. Must get their scoobies appetizer. They serve Sunday brunch and have happy hour Monday - Friday from 4 PM - 6 PM. Complimentary valet parking is available. The dock is first come, first serve.
• Dune
• This is a great spot for happy hour on the beach Monday - Friday from 4 PM - 6 PM. Ocean views on the sand.
• Beach House Pompano
• Beachfront restaurant with ocean views. Also, a great spot to host an event.
• 15th Street Fisheries
• Located inside Lauderdale Marina on the Intracoastal. Great live music. Upstairs is more upscale and requires a reservation. Downstairs you can just walk in - don't accept reservations. You can also feed the tarpon, which is family fun. Fort Lauderdale Water Taxi stop #3.
• S3
• Upscale eatery serving locally sourced New American & coastal cuisine, along with sushi & drinks. Located on A1A with ocean views.
• Takato 
• Japanese-Korean restaurant located in Conrad Fort Lauderdale Beach with seafood, great sushi, and meat plates. Get the angry chicken!
• El Vez
• Mexican with an emphasis on Baja-style cooking located in W Fort Lauderdale. Some of the best nachos and brownie sundaes in town!
• Casablanca Cafe
• Historic former residence on Fort Lauderdale Beach with ocean views & Mediterranean-American plates, plus live piano music.
