Excellent service. Awesome foods. Space between tables are good. The steak I got was good but was just not as juicy as I thought it'd be. The steak did lack flavor but it was accurately cooked to what you wanted. The steak was medium rare but lacking in flavor and juiciness was just mediocre. The salads was a bit underwhelming but it's salad 🤷🏻. The tables are clean and tidy. The entire restaurant is lovely and the employees are always willing to help. The waiters/waitresses make great suggestions and are super helpful. We constantly got our drinks filled and got our plates taken away on a super timely manner. It also didn't take too long to get our foods as well. It is on the more expensive side for cost but the amazing employees definitely makes the experience worth trying.

Tried to make reservations for Friday night and we were told it’s fully booked so we decided to try “walk in”. When we got there, the wait was only 2 minutes. Our waitress was the incredible Robin who should get a raise and be promoted to manager. It’s been a while since I got such an incredible service at a restaurant. We order the honey bread and octopus with chorizo and both were delicious. For main I got the Moroccan style Salomon and it was incredible . For dessert we went with the s’mores which was very tasty but little bit challenging to eat. Great dinning experience. Would definitely go again.

Our waitress was so nice and friendly! I’m so upset I don’t remember her name (blonde hair in a low ponytail)I came with my best friend. She treated me! the salad was so yummy! I tried grilled octopus for the first time it was good as well! Basically everything was cooked to perfection! The ambiance was beautiful/peaceful as well! Came on a Tuesday night because I don’t really like crowds!

This was my first time at this restaurant. Came with my wife for our anniversary. I had the Florida Paella and she had the Jumbo Shrimp Scampi. The meal was really good! Seasoned to perfection. Clean, nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Will definitely come here again.

LOVE IT!!!!! Happy hour are the best! But the most AMAZING part of it all is sitting at the indoor bar with Jake and Sage, they are super attentive, and they don’t miss a beat with anyone sitting at the bar. It gets busy but they manage it very well and create friendships at the bar, how they do it, don’t know but it gets done! Came last week and because of them and the amazing food and service they both provided we came back. Thank you for being so attentive you guys!

I had the most fabulous salad here! It was the one with the ancient grains, can't remember the exact name. My goodness I didn't realize a salad could be so tasty. It's large, and was quite filling. The grilled pineapple on top was perfect. I can't wait to go back! And shoutout to the fabulous bartender Corla!

I came here for a birthday of 10 people. It was super easy making a reservation, unlike other places around the area. The atmosphere here is awesome and it’s right on the water. The food was all wonderful and the drinks were really good too. The staff are actually very nice and helpful, from the hosts, the bar and the servers. I used to go to Shooters until it turned bad and let me tell you this place is a lot better. I will be back, thank you Boatyard!

We walked in with no res around lunch time and although the place was pretty crowded, we were able to be seated quickly. This place has awesome vibes! We started off with a few appetizers including 4 jumbo shrimp, calamari, and a Caesar salad with prosciutto. The calamari is one of the best I’ve had. We got a pitcher of a vodka lemonade which was plenty for two people. Our main course was the mahi-mahi tacos, they were juicy and perfect to split. We topped off our meal with the s’mores dessert which was more of a chocolate pudding with graham cracker layers a fluffy marshmallow top. Amazing service as well! Will definitely be coming back.

Came for a birthday brunch with 10 guests and were very comfortably seated! SUCH a great atmosphere for weekend day drinking. Good tunes, very friendly service, food came out timely and tasted great (which can sometimes be an issue for such a large party). They have bottomless mimosas and bloody Mary’s ($25) and they are GENEROUS with the champagne. A lot of places kinda scam you with the bottomless but not here! The food was so so good. I got the shrimp and grits - very healthy portion of shrimp. But the best part is the ambiance - right by the water, very sunny and open. Had a blast and would love to return with a group!

Great ambiance at this restaurant. Great location by the canal. The food is very good, especially the tuna tacos. However, the experience here was quite dull compared to similar restaurants due to the lack of attension from the staff. Difficult to get more drinks, get dessert, and pay this time. We have been before and found it fantastic, so maybe just a one/off.

Made reservations on OpenTable and was seated immediately upon arrival. Both hostesses were very friendly. Went for Saturday brunch. Some of the food came out cold, but the waitress immediately offered to get us hot sides, which were delicious. It was a little loud because there were 2 large parties going on, but we had a wonderful time.

Loved Boatyard. The ambience is perfection. It's very grown and sexy on Thursday nights... apparently ladies night. It's teeming with business professionals and people who are totally fine with spending. I ordered the grilled snapper with the cauliflower mash. I wasn't impressed by the grilled snapper at all. It was very boring and lacked flair; however, the cauliflower mash was extremely delicious. I could have had two orders of it. My friend ordered a paella and loved it! The drinks were great, the server was top notch, and the ambience... well, that was just perfection.

I recently dined at The Boatyard in Fort Lauderdale, and I had an excellent experience. The service was impeccable, and the staff was attentive and friendly. The food exceeded my expectations; it was delicious (especially the Bimini bread amazing), and I had no complaints whatsoever. I highly recommend The Boatyard for a delightful dining experience. If you can sit outside, the views are beautiful and relaxing.

The service here is impeccable. Juan was our server and exceeded our expectations. We were a wedding party of 14 and he was amazing. Great customer service, fast, and efficient. He was accommodating, patient, highly trained and the best server I’ve had at a restaurant in a very long time. We came earlier than happy hour, but they were able to curate a seafood platter for me. Salmon was the favorite amongst the guests. The shrimp was ginormous, sweet and delicious. We were offered the private room and very grateful for this. It was spacious and they allowed us to arrive early to decorate. Overall, a great experience for all of us.

We only had one server for our large party (16) and she handled everything really well. Everyone’s order came out correctly, and the cocktails & food was excellent. S/N: the mash potatoes are sooooo good. Tips for large parties: you can only split the check 4 ways and be ready to order when it’s your turn because the cannot/will not go back to you (I suppose it messes with the back of the house).

Absolutely delicious! The oysters are delicious. The calamari is on point. The Avocado Toast hits the spot! And what better way to wash it down than with a bottomless Bloody Mary? This is an awesome brunch location on the water (lunch and dinner too), but get there early or make reservations because they fill up and stay that way. Highly recommend the oysters when they are in season!

My coworker and I dropped in for some afternoon brunch. I got the steak sandwich which was okay but was not good but not horrible. I would NEVER order there again or eat from there again. She ordered a mimosa that she said was not good. My drink was the best thing I had. Waiter seemed like he did t enjoy being at work. Grits were okay and I mean just okay. Beautiful view, however. I left there hungry! 😳😳😳

An employee at Marriott Harbor Beach recommended Boatyard. While googling the menu and reviews we saw they had an happy hour until 7 p.m. We originally used Open Table to do a reservation. But, happy hour is only at the inside or outside bar so we relocated from an outside table to the outside bar. The drinks were good and the food was delicious. Though we only ate from the happy hour menu, we did say we would return for happy hour and then go to the table.

Thankfully we made a reservation way in advance because it was busy on a Friday afternoon. We got a table by the dock and it was perfect. We decided to stick with the captains seafood tower - unfortunately crab season ended just a few days earlier so we didn’t get the crab. We added on Bimini bread, 6 additional oysters, a Caesar salad and the garlic mashed potato side and left full and happy. Definitely a great dining experience!

I recently attended a private event here and I have nothing but positive things to say! The event was held in a private room in the restaurant that overlooks the patio and water. It was breathtaking during the daytime and the room we were in didn't feel hot at all with the weather increasingly warm these days. From what I could see, the indoor dining room was also very cozy and the outdoor patio looked beautiful. I thought the service provided was impeccable. We had a few servers tending to the party and they were always providing fresh drinks and were highly attentive. I had low expectations on the food thinking that it would be mass produced for the event, but nope! Everything was so delicious that I devoured my entire 3 course meal and left nothing behind. The flat iron steak entree I tried was tender and flavorful. I'm usually not a fan of key lime pie but I couldn't stop eating theirs. I would definitely recommend hosting an event here or trying their food for lunch or dinner.

Disappointing Experience at Boatyard Restaurant We dined today at the Boatyard and unfortunately, our experience left much to be desired. While the ambiance and service were decent, we were deeply disappointed by the general manager (Tom Karl) refusal to acknowledge and address a legitimate concern regarding the quality of the food. From the moment we took our first bites, it was evident that something was amiss. The dishes we ordered, (Bimini Bread, Fries with garlic parmesan dip, Caesar salad and Wood burning grill Trout, and Mahi-Mahi), the bread was stale, the fried appear to be of the frozen variety like the ones you could purchase at a grocery store in the freezer section, the parmesan cheese on the salad seemed to have being dumped from a bag instead of freshly shaved parmesan, the main dishes lacked the promised flavors and fell short of our expectations. It simply did not taste good, and we were left unsatisfied. When the server asked how everything was, we said it was not good, she then summoned the general manager. Upon his arrival, to our surprise, instead of acknowledging the issue and apologizing for the disappointing experience, the general manager staunchly defended the quality of the food. He was unwilling to accept any responsibility, dismissing my feedback as subjective and insisting that their dishes were indeed delicious. This lack of accountability and refusal to address our concerns left us feeling unheard and disheartened. In any reputable establishment, the customer's satisfaction should be of utmost importance. When a legitimate complaint is brought to their attention, a good manager would typically apologize and make a concerted effort to rectify the situation. However, this was not the case at the Boatyard. It is essential for a restaurant to create an environment where open communication is encouraged, and feedback is valued. By dismissing our concerns and failing to offer any form of resolution, the general manager displayed a lack of professionalism and disregard for their patrons' opinions. As a customer, it is disheartening to have one's valid concerns dismissed without any attempt at reconciliation. I believe that a restaurant's success lies not only in its delectable dishes but also in the way it handles customer feedback and complaints. Sadly, the Boatyard failed to meet this standard. While the overall dining experience might have been salvaged with a sincere apology or an alternative dish, the refusal to acknowledge and address the issue left a sour taste in my mouth—both literally and figuratively. I hope that the Boatyard takes this review constructively and uses it as an opportunity to reevaluate their approach to customer satisfaction. A restaurant's reputation is built on more than just good food; it is a culmination of exceptional service, genuine care for customer feedback, and the willingness to rectify any shortcomings. FYI: Be aware that this was not my first time at this restaurant, I have frequented the Boatyard many times in the past, and even celebrated my birthday in one of their private rooms.

The Ceviche is the best I’ve had in a while! I’ve been back on the menu plenty times to look st the ingredients. Everything used to garish also blends well with the appetizer. THE BREAD! It needs a standing ovation. Just get it and ask them for 2 at a times(1 is never enough) The rainbow trout is very light and airy but flavors are there. It will not satisfy you long if you prefer a larger portion. Dessert Sampler is given for celebrations/birthdays

This restaurant had a great ambiance right next to the inter coastal. A beautiful view. The staff was very attentive and fast. The lobster ravioli was the perfect temperature and very tasteful. Highly recommend this place if you are ever in the area.

Very interesting, on the water place that greets you with exciting views, variety of food selection and serving options. The entries are gigantic and can absolutely be shared, unless....you really like them, which I bet you would. Would highly recommend Eggs Benedict and enjoy the view of chief's show! Get salmon and crab cakes (two in one) which will explode your taste buds. Top it off with the shrimp salad and be done with good calorie intake for the day Please book in advance or get your place by the bar (which is also very cool and has amazing views.

We came for happy hour and sat outside. Awesome atmosphere and nice views. It's a little more upscale. The food was fresh and tasty. Drinks were served quick and delicious. Would definitely come back.

Great, fresh, seafood, good service. Cool location. Try the Peach fizz mocktail and sit outside by the water for the view. Lunchtime is quiet and gives a chance to enjoy the ambiance.

This was our first visit to the Boatyard. We were accompanied by friends who have often had lunch at the restaurant. The restaurant is spacious inside and out. We state at a table close to the dock with nice evening breezes and watching the boats and yachts pass. I am not a true fan of fish so my food choices had some limits. The menu though has many good offerings and even offers a vegan menu. I started with the hummus plate which had a very good flavor and a good supply of pita. My entrée was a Ceasar salad with added chicken. The Caesar was filling but definitely nothing to get excited over. Another starter we shared was the Bimini Bread - a sweet and butter bread. Others had the trout dinner and the shrimp scampi. Both were reported as very good and enjoyable. The dessert menu was very enticing but we did not indulge.

This is a fantastic restaurant with an amazing chef and staff! Enjoy a romantic dinner or celebrate with family and friends. This place may be pricey but is worth every dollar. It's an amazing culinary experience. Your taste buds will be dancing with joy!

The Boatyard staff went above and beyond I worked with Chris and multiple hostesses. All very pleasant and helpful. I set up a reservation for my mother from out of state. And they help get all little details set up to have a great experience. And she loved it. Thank you so much definitely recommend this restaurant!!!

So, we arrived at 2:25 p.m., which gave 5 minutes to order food before the kitchen closed. With this being the first time I've been here it felt super rushed, but I ordered the Chicken sandwich, it was very tender, and full of flavor, the salad had way too much balsamic dressing but the best part was the Smores dessert, I'm not much for desserts but this was fantastic, the flavors were layered and complex in the most perfect way!! The atmosphere is very upscale casual, great place for lunch, and I can't wait to come back for the fillet minion.

The food was delicious. We ordered the snapper with citrus butter sauce and the filet with blue cheese butter and bernaise to share. The side portions were enough for 2 to 3 people. Everything was amazing and cooked just right! Our waiter Andres was excellent he went above and beyond for our anniversary and brought us the most delicious smores dessert, he made our night very special! Would definitely recommend it, and I can't wait to go back!

Delicious and consistent! It’s no wonder they have been around for a while! Beautiful restaurant, good view, great drinks and decent food. I went for brunch and ordered the avocado toast. It was decent but I’ve had better. The salad was overdressed and the toast was very dark. Having said that, the vibe is so nice! We started with the ship faced Shelley pitcher and kind of just stayed ordering that! It was so refreshing! Afterwards we grabbed a drink outside and then to balance things off, we had a drink inside…lol 🥂 The Bimini Bread is a must!! Reminiscent of Bahama Bread for those familiar. Lovely time! Will be back for Happy Hour 🥂 Perfect for brunch with the ladies!

Great service at the outdoor bar. Four of us enjoyed cocktails, lunch and dessert. So happy to try the oysters I forgot to get a picture! Others were happy with tuna nachos and conch fritters. The array of chocolate desserts were fabulous as was the espresso creme brulee. Lovely waterside atmosphere.

Everything was fantastic. The atmosphere, the food, the service and the staff. Our waiter, Santiago was was perfect. He was well versed on the menu and the services provided by Boatyard. We loved his menu recommendations. We had appetizers, dinner, "Honey Bread" and drinks from the bar. We will definently come back and bring some family and friends.

This place never disappoints me. No matter if yiur sitting inside or out, the ambience is beautiful and the food is great. The staff are friendly and overall a great time. This is a place that knows how to handle big groups.

Son's Rehersal Wedding Dinner. Outstanding Food ,Drinks and Awesome service. Private room for our group of 40. Highly recommend you try it out for Happy Hour food n Cocktails then decide . You will not be disappointed. Class Act

The Boatyard has a beautiful outdoor tables with an amazing views, very relaxing. This was our 1st visit and we went for breakfast. The food was great but unfortunately the service not so much. It was really sad because the other tables servers were very nice and happy with their customers. Our server was Natalie M and she wasn't good with us. She didn't make us feel welcome and comfortable. Don't know exactly what her problem was but It wouldn't discourage us to visit and give it another try.

Happy Birthday 60 years old 🤙🏾

I had my bridal shower in the flagship private room and it was great! The service was great, the food was great, and all my guests had a great time. I definitely recommend them for special events. I have dined there a few times, and their food and service was good. We had 1 bad experience with one of the waiters on one occasion but the manager was quick to rectify the issue.

One of my favorite places of our entire trip! I loved their salmon and their scallops. So delicious, with exciting flavors. The scallops are more heavy and rich. The salmon is a huge portion with lots of flavor, and I could not finish it. They also have great cocktails, excellent service, and great ambience. I wanted to hang out longer. We had a nice walk around the back to look at the boats. We enjoyed this restaurant so much, we came back another day just to order their s’mores dessert. The only reason this review isn’t five stars is because that dessert was very disappointing. The chocolate was a weird flavor, and it didn’t taste anything like a s’mores besides the marshmallow on top. The chocolate covered strawberry on the side was the only yummy part of the dessert. Otherwise, it’s a great establishment and I would highly recommend it.

If I was going on service alone it would be a 5. I got the Salmon. My husband got the chicken. My Salmon needed way more sauce and less time on the grill. His chicken was so dry and hardly had any flavor. The calamari was really good. Another negative it was so loud in the restaurant it was hard to hear. We known with time all things change but missing the old Bimini Boatyard menu.
