About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for business meals
Experience modern, coastal Italian cuisine at Fort Lauderdale's newest hot spot, La Fuga. Chef Michael Mayer infuses local South Florida flavors with classic Italian staples to create a fusion of crave-worthy, contemporary dishes.

La Fuga, (Italian for "the escape,") is nestled in the heart of the Kimpton Shorebreak, named in homage to the location’s historic beginnings. The newly renovated Kimpton Shorebreak occupies a unique space in Fort Lauderdale, originally opened as The Escape Hotel in 1949.

La Fuga pays tribute to it's origin story in name and also in atmosphere. Featuring midcentury design, and a laid-back vibe, the indoor-outdoor dining room includes views of the hotel's scenic courtyard and provides access to a rooftop pool overlooking Fort Lauderdale’s intercoastal.

    The food and service were incredible! There were 5 of us, and everyone loved what they had. The staff was incredibly polite and professional. The only reason I didn’t give all 5 stars is because outdoor dining surrounds the outdoor pool. I found it awkward that we were fine dining next to people swimming…and I’m sure those in the pool felt like they were on display.

    We were promptly seated by a friendly host. Then we were forgotten about. Had to grab a waitress to try and get our server. No one came. The waitress came back (not ours) and kindly took our order for food and drinks. She said she can at least get us started until our server comes. We then never got our drinks until she noticed again. Finally I we insisted she take over and be our server. She was quite nice. No apologies from the management or even our supposed server. Food was delicious though.

    Service and atmosphere were great but honestly the food was disappointing. My fiancé and I are not ones who cheap out on a nice dinner but we honestly thought the price points were insane for the amount/taste of the food. We got the octopus appetizer and it barely had two full pieces of octopus. I got the lobster ravioli as my entree and it was very dry, had to ask for more sauce. The inside of the ravioli was not creamy at all, really reminded me of canned tuna. Would not recommend.

    Food was just ok, expensive, the service was terrible, and the birds on the patio were very annoying
