Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Las Olas Isles

What an experience! Started off with a seafood risotto that Steve sent to our table as a gift. So good! Service was top tier, food was delicious. We had a duck bolognese, veal chop, grouper, and chicken with sausage dish. I see why they’ve been in business for 30+ years. First time there, will definitely recommend & be back.

The service and the food were really good. The outdoor seating was perfect. I would recommend this place for lunch, happy hour, and dinner

Have dined at the Boatyard for over 10 years. Have always had a five star experience. You will love this restaurant.

I hate when restaurants charge a service fee, I feel like that takes away the tip from the servers. I requested to be sat next to the clear windows over looking the ledge and we were not sat there. But besides that, it was a great experience.

Our only disappointment with the restaurant was not having visited it sooner. Living in the neighborhood, we bypassed it many times before venturing out on a Monday night. To our amazement, the food, the ambiance and service were beyond expectations. Our server, Thomas, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. His recommendation of a variation of our usual unfiltered sake was right on. Walking us through the menu, we selected the tuna tower, the Korean barbecue with rice, the grilled octopus and the crispy duck entre. All were excellent but the octopus and the duck were particularly noteworthy. Having worked in Turkey for many years, we can appreciate the correct way to tenderize and char grill octopus. Here, it was done to perfection. Likewise, the duck was crispy on the outside yet still moist on the inside after being sliced and quartered. The outside seating was not overcrowded like many similar venues, and the volume of the music did not preclude us from having strained conversations. While pricey by some Fort Lauderdale standards, it was well worth. Lastly, we were pleased that are open table reservation was promptly honored notwithstanding a busy restaurant.
