    I had an amazing time, rent your chair and umbrella and you're good to go until about 7pm when they start collecting. Also there's a store inside for last mins needs. I needed a phone protector. You have the ability to order from the bar and the hostess will bring your food on the beach and it's located right next to a jet ski rental and we were booked within a half hour. If you don't have an amazing time here come back and tell me ....oh it's family friendly.

    Disappointing. Kudos for their digital marketing, and the grouper bites were good. My drink was weak, probably a mix. The feel of the place left us both thinking "we don't need to go back". The hotel it's in is old and dated.

    The place is good, food is not the greatest and drinks are good. The bar is by the beach and nice music. Conveniently for us, we stayed at a hotel across the street, but we can walk in directly to the other hotel lobby with no problems. In general, it was a good experience.

    Cool tiki bar beside the beach. The bar had great beach view, good selection of drinks , DJ music, ample enough seating and good vibes. Bartender Nichollete did a great job in customizing my drinks with less sugar. The wings tasted delicious. I wouldn’t recommend the poke bowl as the dish didn’t come with a sauce (the pieces of fish tasted fresh though). The bar is located behind a hotel and they provide valet parking.

    The location is fantastic and service was good but food was really mediocre not great. The tuna salad has waaaay too much mayonnaise, the blackened grouper bites were under cooked, the crab cakes were extremely dry and the parmesan potato wedges had ZERO parmesan not sure why they have them listed as parmesan wedges.

    Took a trip to the beach to get some fresh air and sun. We enjoyed the fried shrimp appetizer as the sauce it was drizzled in was super tasty. The sliders were surprisingly good and full of flavor. The cocktails were okay, as you could taste the individual ingredients, but here's my disclaimer. (We have had speakeasy type cocktails for awhile now and can tell the difference between good, quality, and subpar cocktails). The beach setting was nice and I recommend stopping at this location.

    This is the place to be. It’s hard to find a place like this open to the public around the area. Saw someone talking about “speakeasy cocktails” lol get a life dude. This is a tiki bar. Jesus Christ dude. Location location location. Great food, drinks, and services. Even the back kitchen staff - food runners, bussers, etc were friendly and engaging. Lot of fun people watching here! Can’t wait to go back.

    If you are looking for a traditional Tiki Bar that's right on the beach and has delicious, moderately priced food and drinks, then you definitely want to go to Bamboo Beach Tiki Bar & Cafe. I loved this place so much! There really is no reason to go anywhere else. Great for any age group with a friendly wait staff, I am bringing my kids and coming back.

    This was an amazing excursion experience - the food was impeccably impressive & the area was very clean. NO SMELLS- constant trash pickup and constant attentiveness from our guide Sharona. She was a lovely hostess with the mostest ! It was a very inexpensive excursion at 99.99 per person. This was one of the inexpensive trips that we took a chance on BUT I am so glad I did. We traveled with family it was never an issue with being around each other from the beginning to the end. Please book this tour & it also came with a tubing experience and the host and his apprentice was also attentive! We 10/10 recommend this.

    I ordered a shrimp cocktail for an appetizer, but I was immediately disappointed when I received my plate. The sauce in the middle is chili sauce because they ran out of cocktail sauce, this dish was $18 for 6 shrimp, $3 per shrimp!!

    They have open access from the beach and it’s not technically open to public beach goers but we were able to get in and enjoy a nice brunch, great food and service

    Nice atmosphere being right on the beach! Pretty cool decor. Food was just ok. Drinks where amazing. Our server was top notch. It was very busy that day and she was very tentative.! Prices overall are fair. We'll definitely be back next time we're in FL.

    Delicious food and great service. A week's stay and we've been back a few times already. The twin lobster with asparagus and jasmine rice dinner is a stand out. Delicious conch fritters and very good drinks. We will be stopping back again, maybe a few more times. Good music, as well.

    Camille was amazing! Her drinks were so good and she’s such a friendly person and has this smile that just brightens your day! We came here with our friends who are visiting for our wedding and she made our night! We will definitely be back. She’s such a doll. Thank you for making it such a beautiful night!

    I enjoyed coming up with new concoctions and, oh was it worth it. Good food, great service, might have to speak up to be heard as the nature of an outside bar is louder than a sit-down restaurant. All in all, I would recommend this to anyone who wants a drink on a beach and enjoy being alive.

    Just checked into the hotel and decided to stop here for lunch. The staff was fantastic, especially Shaena and Alysa! Some of the menu items we ordered were not available. The manager came to speak with up and offer additional options. The food was tasty but the service was superb!

  • 4/5 Chandra F. 8 months ago on Google
    It's a bar right on the beach. So great! Servers were friendly. Refilled my non-alcoholic drink without me asking. I don't think people necessarily come here for the food. We ordered fish and chips, which were fine. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich with bacon. The grilled chicken was overcooked. It came on a ciabatta bun, so lots of bread! I couldn't eat all that bread. But the bun was fresh, not stale. Just be aware their sandwiches come on ciabatta buns. Would definitely come again next time we are in Fort Lauderdale.

  • 4/5 Anika L. 7 months ago on Google
    Just did a day pass for the pool… the pictures make it look a little nicer than it actually is … but it was still a great day … is right on beach which is nice and it had lots of chairs … the tiki bar on the property is what made it have that real vacation vibe ! Food was classic fried seafoods etc and good drinks … The service was impeccable… they check in just the right amount of times and we’re fast for how busy it was

    The lodging food and atmosphere here are one-of-a-kind. Ocean Manor has all of that and more. I'm going to make it a habit for me and my family to come here every year on vacation.

  • 4/5 Skye M. 7 months ago on Google
    The food is a bit overrated but I still loved the ambiance here. Nothing beats the ocean view, tiki vibes, beach bar. Simple is best with this restaurant though. After all, it is just a tiki bar

  • 5/5 Michelle A. 11 months ago on Google
    Update 5/19/2023 The food is still amazing! The atmosphere rocks and the beachfront is wonderful!! We flew in from Spokane, Wa. Friendly staff! Great food! We had the chicken teriyaki skewers, fish and chips, loaded french fries, spinach artichoke dip! Strawberry Daiquiris and beachfront! What else could you ask for! Definitely worth the stop!

    Place was great. Good food, nice atmosphere, and staff was awesome

  • 5/5 Jeremiah G. 11 months ago on Google
    Came down for a weekend getaway and this place was highly rated best in the area. I came because of the reviews and was not disappointed quite opposite actually. The service is impeccable as is the food and drinks. Can't stop thinking about the amazing staff and the service provided. Great prices, good food awesome ambiance.

    This place was great. We had the calamari (fire)! It was so good. It was perfect. Perfectly seasoned and fried. It wasn’t chewy or hard. We had the surf n turf & the twin lobster tails. Lobster tails were perfect size and tasted amazing! The steak was melt in your mouth awesome with great flavor. The triple layered chocolate cake was amazing. There’s like brownie or something on the bottom layer (didn’t really care for the cherry drizzle on the plate) I would definitely eat here again. The reason I didn’t give it 5⭐️(I wish I could do like 4.5) is because the prices didn’t match the bill. The cake was $11 but $10 on the menu. Yes, it was only $1, however I feel like the prices should match or there should be a disclaimer from the wait staff (as stated after I inquired about the difference in price) “hey, we’ve updated our menu and some prices may be off by $1 or more”. Also, if you pay with card they charge a fee (wasn’t really tripping on that). Also, I saw people saying they add a gratuity, they do. I can only speak for dine-in, but they ONLY CHARGE THE 20% FOR PARTIES OF 6 OR MORE. I went with my hunny and we were not charged the gratuity. Would definitely return! Awesome food. For all of this food (plus soft drinks) we paid about $135.

    Amazing food, the best drinks, and the hospitality was AMAZING!! We could hang out here for hours and hours. Highly recommend!!

    Hotel staff was polite. They were willing to answer questions and provide support as needed. When we arrived they only had a king bed available. They offered us a suite for the night then allowed us to transition into a two bed room the following day. The suite layout was cute but the lock on the door made me nervous. The lock component was nit covered properly and wires were visible. Also, when trying to shut the door you had to play with ut a bit. I slept with a chair at the door that night. There was a door that connected the suite and another room. I could hear people from that door and the hsll door.

    Everything we had from the drinks to the food was amazing. The service was exceptional. I don't remember the other girls name but Taylor was great. If we come back to the area we will definitely be back.
