    We went here for a late breakfast / early brunch with a party of 7. Service was quick and exceptionally good. Our waiter was Bryon. The food was very good and served fast. The price was very affordable, unlike the four $'s listed on Google maps. That price point might be for dinner, which we will be back to try.

    Loved this restaurant. Kasey was excellent server with great personality and excellent suggestions and pairings. The jambalaya was very delicious. The rosemary focaccia bread was heavenly. Every thing we had at the table was very good. There was a musician playing that night which enhanced the ambiance significantly. Highly recommended

    Dining here next to the Riverside Hotel brought back happy memories from many years ago. We started our dinner with unique cocktails and the burrata cheese and beet salad. My daughter ordered the seared tuna, my friend ordered the Chippolini and I asked for a green salad with chicken. Everything was delicious.

    Food was excellent, Jumbalaya, tasty and a big portion, server was very nice as well. Very quiet there tonight so lacked a bit of bounce. Robot meal carrier was very cool

    So above all else, the food really was great. That being said, the service was only okay, we sat for like 15 minutes at our table before they came to take our food/drink order. And our server never asked if we wanted another drink or dessert, she just dropped off the check? Definitely felt like more of a tourist destination than fine dining.

    Beautiful English style/ Lilly Pulitzer ambiance🥰 Manager, server, everyone was on point👌 I didn't regret stopping by on our way to the beach... we didn't eat much since we had already made dinner reservation. But dessert it's a must 🙈 That Crème brulée with the Amaretto or go for a lighter fun with the Trio sorbet (Mango, Coconut & Berries). I'll go back for more delicious plate like the seafood chowder soup😋

    Really great brunch. Salt shakers could’ve used cleaning. Service was 3/5, they have robots so it should’ve been 5/5. Food was of great quality, and a great value on las olas in the heart of downtown.

    Everyone there treated us TERRIBLY. My husband and I got ignored! No one at the hostess stand outside. We walk in and no one seats us. We go to the bar and the bartenders ignore us for almost ten minutes. No one acknowledged us until we finally went to someone and asked if we seat ourselves. They did not give us an answer to that, and told us to follow them. From there on out everyone treated us extremely rude and like we were weird and inconveniencing them every time they talked to us. Other than that the food was good, but super overpriced for what we got. I'd be hard pressed to write a bad review, but here I am, so that tells you something.

    We enjoy coming here for breakfast, but lunch and dinner is also fantastic. Great service, lovely outdoor setting right on Las Olas. We always have Byron as our server and he is charming and excellent! Very reasonable prices, great food.

    Second time trying this place out... first time service was mid-grade. Took staff nearly half an hour to bring me one peach bellini.. I could understand if it was busy, bit the establishment was half empty. Staff became visibly irritated when we went up to request our drink again... the second time I was served food with animal hair in it... yes, ANIMAL HAIR... I was absolutely disgusted. A woman came over to the table and asked what the problem was. I told her and then showed her the hair I had found. She stood there in front of our entire table and inspected the hair for what seemed like forever and then left the table. She came back to tell me that she had removed the meal from our bill but didn't really offer any true apology. We've just decided not to spend anymore of our time or money there. The wait staff was lovely tho!!!

    This place has the best lunch special. Excellent value for the quality of food. I went last week for the first time and have made it a weekly thing. Will review again but must say the fries are surprisingly perfect.

  • 3/5 Alexis S. 8 months ago on Google
    We were looking for a place with a nice atmosphere and seafood...not outdoors bc it is too hot right now. Ambiance was nice, wr sat at the bar. Food was OK. The soup was the best part of the meal. We had fish tacos and daily special fish n chips. The fish was not fully cooked.

    I went to celebrate a birthday party on a Friday night with a large group of friends. They had a very chill atmosphere and live music. Our server was Gabi and she was so nice and patient with the large group. I loved her. I got the Ahi tuna which was excellent. I would definitely recommend this place for a lovely dinner or special occasion.

  • 5/5 Julie S. 8 months ago on Google
    Gabriela, our waitress was amazing. She was very sweet and accommodating to our requests. She also gave a surprise with Key lime pie for a specialoccasion. Rico was very kind as well . They both had provided service with a smile. The food was absolutely delicious and flavorful. We will definitely dine here again. We also enjoyed the entertainment of the trumpet player. We had Lobster tail and Salmon filet.

    I have had the pleasure of dining here 4 times in 2 years and it's fabulous! Oysters the best in town and the seafood creations are really special - its the first reservation I make when I arrive! Shout out to Jason for a great dinner this evening!

  • 1/5 Jackie M. 9 months ago on Google
    We arrived and were greeted by a great valet who was friendly and took the time to escort us to the restaurant. We sat in the bar area and were the only people eating on that side. The ambience was wonderful and the seating comfy. We ordered our breakfast and once it arrived we never saw our server again, we had to go to the bar to pay. The meal was bad!! The eggs were overcooked, the hashbrowns were old and floating in grease and the coffee was cold and burned. The salt was in a solid lump and wouldn't come out of the shaker. We wanted straws and a napkin to go under our water glass but couldn't get any ones attention. The prices are very reasonable but we couldn't eat much of what we were served!

  • 4/5 Lisa P. 7 months ago on Google
    Our food arrived at the table via a robot, super cool! I went at lunch time and the menu was nice, but it could have been a little more extensive. It would have been nice to be able to get lobster without mayonnaise, but the pizza was very good.

  • 5/5 David F. 5 months ago on Google
    Took my friends for breakfast here. Highly recommend the egg white omelet it's absolutely delicious. The side of bacon was fabulous. Also had a bloody Mary which was perfect. My friend had an omelet I believe with crab meat which was good. Great place for breakfast. Nice to be able to sit outside very friendly crowd Good staff. Prices are pretty reasonable as well.

    The host was friendly. We encountered a staple in our food. The manager came and simply apologize (insincere apology) and said he would inform the chef. The only resolve was to discount the meal ( my advise would be to not charge for the meal). It’s a mediocre response to finding a staple in your meal. I do not recommend this place. But if you do eat here, observe your food properly.

  • 4/5 Sam T. 1 year ago on Google
    Pretty good happy hour. Drinks are half price for anything under $12 which includes wine and mixed drinks but not cocktails. We got the bahn mi sliders in happy hour and the smoked fish dip. Both were tasty. We ordered the oysters off of the regular menu and I highly recommend them.

  • 5/5 jeanine k. 1 year ago on Google
    Our server, Tammi, is fantastic! We request her every time we dine here! The food is fantastic. Great happy hour! The gulf shrimp are my favorite, along with the smoked white fish dip!! I don't eat oysters, but my friends say they are the BEST!

  • 5/5 R. I. 2 years ago on Google
    My first visit: My friend took me there to celebrate my birthday. It was oyster night on Monday, I had the best oysters, best service and the best atmosphere. Our waiter was so welcoming and friendly, the food arrived in a timely manner and al the staff were happy to help and attentive. We had the oysters, and the fish spread. It was divine. i would highly recommend this place for seafood lovers whether you are on your own with friends, or with a special date. My second visit: this place never disappoints!

  • 4/5 Shawntay S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food specials during the week and weekend. Pork Butt sliders were awesome. Lychee martini was so good I had two. My husband had the mojito and it was good. The lobster was ok but it was on the special for $19 (so why not) My husband said the lamb was ok. The creme brulee was good. We have had the crab cake and wings the last time we visited and they were good.

  • 5/5 Bob W. 1 year ago on Google
    I have to admit the Wild Sea confused me. It is attached to the oldest hotel in Ft Lauderdale, The Riverside Hotel. It has a beautiful decor and delicious food. Try any of the oyster dishes, all delicious. But there was something a bit Red Lobster about the experience. Still not sure, what gave me that vibe.

  • 5/5 Winfred M. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a great dining experience. The Baked Oyster are a must. The Broccolini with Chili Sauce is spiced heaven. The Nawlin Jambalaya was an delicious surprise. The staff was short-handed however they performed better than a number of well staffed places. Kudos to the staff for a well run process!

  • 2/5 Andrea H. 1 year ago on Google
    We went here based on the reviews for happy hour and the oysters and appetizers were half off. They were East Coast oysters and I had heard they were larger. If these were large I would hate to see small. I missed 2 tiny ones because at first glance they looked like they were part of the shell. Maybe it's not the season. Anyway, I was disappointed having had large gulf coast oysters in the past. Next, we had a spinach and artichoke dip and Asian wings. The wings were tasty; however the dip had tortilla chips and the artichokes and spinach were cooked in a runny tasteless sauce with cheese on top. We didn't order any dinner because I was so skeptical that it would be any good. Overall, we aren't going back and I'm not recommending this restaurant to anyone.

  • 5/5 Darlene M. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was well presented and delicious. There were so many different choices, the menu would please any palette. Our waiter and servers were friendly, fun and accommodating - Ardwin & Marcelle. Top notch crew! We had the spinach & artichoke dip and baked oysters for apps, both so good! For dinner, 2 had the Ahi Tuna, I had the Pork Milanaise, and 1 had the Jamaican Jerk Chicken. We all enjoyed our dinners. The pork was so good and such a large portion. I will definitely go back again the next time I am in the area.

  • 3/5 Romel G. 2 years ago on Google
    I was expecting the menu to have more seafood options, but it did not. The menu selection was somewhat limited, but the food was okay.

  • 5/5 Belletifi M. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was good and affordable. Our sever Faye was great!!

  • 5/5 Patricia B. 2 years ago on Google
    I am totally Footy and love great restaurants so I can only tell the best about this place. Everything went extremely well the order was placed and our food came perfectly out no complaints and we would be happy to visit again

  • 5/5 Sean F. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious - do it. Obviously the food is good but the atmosphere makes this one f the more comfortable and relaxing establishments on Los Olas. If you want a good meal in a beautiful setting with a delicious cocktail this is your spot.

  • 5/5 Dora Milena M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great dinner experience!! Warm welcome, awesome waiter, Wilson, the manager was very kind as well with us, spectacular menu, we recommend the spinach, artichoke and cheese dip for starter , for main courses, catch of the day with Admon crust on a bed of wild rice, was flavorful and with perfect texture! Same for the scallops, perfectly done and with such great flavor!! Attached a pic for their desserts sample, Key lime pie, carrot cake and custard cream brûlée, we couldn’t pick a favorite, all were outstanding!
