- MMoniqueVirginia •33 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoFabulous location, beautiful decor, exceptional menu and a service team that was all about getting to “yes!” My husband had a stroke 11 years ago and restaurant music that’s too loud is uncomfortable for him…we asked if the music could be lowered and they accommodated. We will be back for brunch!More infoDUNE By Laurent TourondelPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Lauderdale Beach•4.4

- SSandraVIPFort Lauderdale •26 reviews5.0Dined on 9 Dec 2024I feel awful for not remembering our server’s name as he played a major role in making our night here a very memorable one. We had reservations for 2 but sat at a booth because we planned on ordering a few tapas. The vibe was just right, there was live music being sang by a guy with his guitar and his partner on the piano. For drinks we kept it simple with a few shots of tequila and some margaritas. For tapas we had: -Pot Roast. This dish was warm, savory and succulent. The beef was braised to perfection and the veggies were well cooked. -Peel n Eat Shrimp. The butter sauce has old bay seasoning in it which gave it a nice kick! The herb garlic bread was wonderfully toasted, not too hard and soaked up the butter sauce nicely. -Bacon Wrapped Dates. The sweetness from the dates paired well with the bacon. The blue cheese on the inside was well melted and added a creaminess to each bite. -Filet Mignon Slider. No comment, my husband swallowed the slider whole. He says it was a 10/10. I believed him because he liked his fingers to get up the bit of aioli left on it. -Lamb Chops. Perfectly grilled. Nice grill marks on the outside and juicy on the inside. -Chicken n Waffles. Cooked to order. The waffle was still warm when it got to our table. The chicken breast tenders had a nice crunchy well seasoned batter on them. -Pork Belly. Wish they fried it a bit more but you could taste the marinade on the meat. The glaze was also a nice touch. -BBQ Ribs. The ribs were definitely fall off the bone. Only thing I would recommend is to get a good broil on the bbq sauce so it’s not too messy . We will definitely be back & have already told our friends to check this place out.More infoAmerican Tapas BarPrice: Moderate• American• Lauderdale by the Sea•4.8
