Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Lauderdale Beach

I love this location of Patrizia’s and it has been my 3rd time there. Pro: Food - fabulous; Staff :Friendly and attentive Atmosphere: nice and above average. Con: It was busy but we waited at the bar for a drink for almost 10 minutes, clearly there should have been another bartender on. The bartender was really doing the best he could. Also when booking, it asks if you are celebrating something, to which I answered yes, a birthday, thinking there would have been a candle in dessert , or something said, to which there wasn’t. While not a huge deal to me that it wasn’t acknowledged, it should not be asked when making the reservation. BUT -I will return!

First time at Mastros and what can I say? Firstly, and most importantly, the attention was excellent. Not too intrusive and just enough to attend to your needs. At times we did have to wait for a second, but I attribute that to the busy Valentine's Day rush. Secondly, the atmosphere, was lovely. For those who want you're more lively setting I would recommend the indoor/bar/lounge areas.  for quite an intimate setting, you'd want to sit outside. Speaking of outside - absolutely love the inter coastal view! Last but at least, the food! We had the Branzino, the truffle mushroom gnocchi, and spinach. Then we topped it off with the "piece de resistance," the butter cake! The plating and the flavor were incredible! I was lucky enough to score a table for the Valentine's Day and I can definitely say I'll be a repeat customer! 

We were seated quicking and had a reservation. Beautiful waterfront dining on the intercoastal waterway. Our server Ashley was excellent, friendly and very attentive. We were not rushed although the place filled up quickly. Ordered the sushi as an appy then went with their their fresh fish entrees. truely fresh and delicious. Portions were generous. For dessert we had the cheescake and the 5 layer chocolate cake. We were told all desserts were baked on premises by their pastry chef and it showed. The chocolate cake was HUGE for $ 14 no way to even attempt to finish it. If I had to pick on one item, not their fault, the sunset was blocked by a high building acroos the waterway.

Just an amazing place to dine and share a good time with people. The atmosphere is so upbeat, staff is super friendly, the service is great and the options for food are terrific. We’re visiting from NY and stay in Miami Beach but we always try to get here at least once during our stay. I had blackened mahi mahi and it was delicious. The others chose a burger or salad and everyone was quite satisfied. My cousin drove down from Boca to meet us and he was thrilled with the Boatyard. A great choice for any occasion!

ALWAYS THE BEST, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. STEVE PUTS OUT QUALITY FOOD YOU CANNOT GET ANYWHERE ELSE. YES IT CAN GET A LITTLE LOUD, THE SERVERS CAN RUSH YOU OUT AFTER TWO HOURS, AND IT IS A LITTLE EXPENSIVE. BUT REMEMBER ONE THING AND ONE THING ONLY, IT’S ABOUT THE FOOD STUPID, IT’S ABOUT THE FOOD!
