The house of Vue brunch is a wonderful experience and we had the perfect weather to accompany the ambiance created by the house team. Right on the Riverwalk with a great view of the river and activities. We ordered the Vue Rose (x2 bottles!) for three of us. Started with the caviar and Chips appetizer followed by a burger with truffle fries, the frite bites and a Caesar salad with chicken. A perfect afternoon.

Service was very good. Food was all delicious. We tried the meatball appetizer, pasta bolognese and tiramisu for dessert. Some of the best we have ever had. This was our first time there. Atmosphere was fun. Would definitely go again when in Fort Lauderdale.

Moxies was the best dinner we had during our visit to Ft Lauderdale! The drinks were amazing, food was absolutely delicious. It is quite loud with a big bar scene, but we don't mind that vibe! Definitely a place to check out. We will be back!!
