Boatyard - Fort Lauderdale

The Bimini bread was incredible. Shrimp scampi also highly recommended. I was very impressed by the efficiency of the wait staff and the great level of service. Great spot for a date who can appreciate a classy nautical themed ambiance. Will definitely be back.

Very nice dining experience for my first visit here. Ordered Calamari, which was really good and went well with their sauce. Seafood Paella was delicious! A bit on the soupy side, though. My guest ordered lots of oysters so they must be good too. The Rainbow Trout (under Favorites) was pretty good but the topping was the highlight of the dish. It had lemon vinaigrette and some veggies. So tasty! The truffle mashed was also great! Definitely recommended to visit.

Food and drinks were excellent, as always. Busy Saturday night and the kitchen flow was a little disorganized with 20 minutes between entree arrivals at our table of 6. The managers walking the restaurant, however, noticed the error and worked quickly to rectify. Good job. Boatyard is not inexpensive but the food is excellent and they do strive to provide a premium dining experience. Definitely recommend.

Nice ambiance. Healthy food options. Bimini bread was delicious…must get! Margaritas were on point. Couldn’t really see the water from our table but nice to see some boats floating by.

Food was excellent. The ONLY thing that was odd...was that it was raining outside...and they have leaky ceilings with buckets sat around to catch the water. The sat us right just off the bar area next to two buckets that were catching drippy water. No one else was seated in the area. There were plenty of tables in the main part of the dining room which appeared to not have leaks and where most guest were seated. I found it odd that a restaurant of this caliber would seat anyone within a foot of the buckets. Part of going to this restaurant is the dining experience, which fell short. Again...the food was great, unfortunately our overall experience was less than enjoyable.
