    Been going to S3 for a few years now, they are always consistent with amazing service. Our last waiter we had, Terry, was awesome.

    S3 stands out as one of Fort Lauderdale’s few unchanged establishments, which is positive. Though I miss the vibrant bar ambiance with pearls, stardust, doughnut holes, and a captivating brunette bartender, the cocktails and dishes were exceptional. My indulgence in doughnuts before ordering churro toast at 40 was unwise, and the coffee was mediocre. The location offers breathtaking views, a refreshing breeze, and amenities, but excessive traffic noise occasionally triggers fire alarms, preventing a flawless five-star rating.

    I usually love the edamame, but it was very mushy tonight. I got the bowl for dinner and it was so salty. I could barely eat it.

    The food wasn’t great. The burrata was spicy which was unexpected, the lobster ravioli was so salty I had to return it. The bang bang shrimp and the sushi roll were good. We also had the lo mein which was also very salty. The service was spot on and the management was fast to help out. They treated us kindly. I wish the food was better. It took quite a while to get drinks, we had our appetizers before we had a drink. Timing of food drops was off since I had my food before anyone else and had to start because it was a hot meal. Overall not great but the location and staff were perfect.

    We had a lovely evening at S3. The service was amazing, thank you Nam especially! Also all the other staff who rushed to move us out of the rain when there was an unexpected pop up shower. The food was delicious too! We had 2 excellent sushi rolls (dragon and blue crab),a seaweed salad, the Chilean sea bass (small portion but perfectly cooked) and we shared the coconut cake (huge and delicious!!) for dessert.

    The food was amazing! I would have given it 6 stars if I could have. I will definitely be back next time I’m in the area. If you live here, add it to your list of places to go!
