Rare POA1 Posted December 12, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 12, 2017 DW and I had breakfast at Joe's Café, in the shopping center near the Publix on SE 17th Street. They were all decorated for Christmas with a Santa Claus display, lights, ornaments and a model train. (The train is always there, but it went "full holiday mode.") In the first booth on the right as you enter the restaurant, they have two "ladies" in the booth. Huskerchick and I decided it was a salute to HAL cruisers. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxmantoo Posted December 12, 2017 #4 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Can't wait to be there in a few weeks ... Have to eat at Joe's for breakfast at least once every time in FLL ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted December 12, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Can't wait to be there in a few weeks ... Have to eat at Joe's for breakfast at least once every time in FLL ...Their Christmas decorations are really nice. Not just for a diner in a shopping center, but overall. For some reason, my phone's camera wasn't working, so the photo is courtesy of DW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Vict0riann Posted December 12, 2017 #7 Share Posted December 12, 2017 So, Joe's Cafe and Kelly's Landing are on the list. Anywhere else - preferably near the Embassy Suites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ger_77 Posted December 12, 2017 #9 Share Posted December 12, 2017 That's really cute. We're going to have to look for Joe's Cafe when we get to FLL - we've traditionally been going to the Quarterdeck for lunch, so will try a new place. Smooth Sailing! :) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like Indian, Indian Harbor In the same shopping center as Joe’s is excellent. If you want to sit outside for a nice dinner, then The Boatyard across the street and 2 blocks east (no reservations for outside). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxmantoo Posted December 12, 2017 #15 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Are you talking about the Bimini Boatyard? The "Bimini" part was dropped two years ago. It is now just "The Boatyard". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We heard about it from a Fort Lauderdale restaurant critic. We were lamenting the lack of breakfast places when we first moved here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mllewis48 Posted December 13, 2017 #21 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Bimini and Bravo are in the same small mall on 17th Street, very near Embassy Suites. Both are next to Marriott Renaissance, in fact the Boatyard is actually behind the hotel. Embassy is about a 1/4 mile west.

Florida_gal_50 Posted December 13, 2017 #22 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I don't know if I'd seek it out for a special meal, but we like it for breakfast. I've found the breakfast to be really good there and the price is certainly right as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxmantoo Posted December 13, 2017 #23 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I've found the breakfast to be really good there and the price is certainly right as well. Definitely a "breakfast" place. Not quite the place for lunch (although it probably might be very good ... we have seen a lot of ship officers there over the years on turnaround day) or dinner atmosphere-wise!

Rare Vict0riann Posted December 13, 2017 #24 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Thanks for all the suggestions. We have 2 nights in FLL, so will be able to try some of of them!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Fltravelers Posted December 13, 2017 #25 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Yes. Same space, similar menu. But new management. Better food, nice outdoor area along canal, and redecorated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
