Great seafood in Ft Lauderdale

Hello,

Our family is looking for a great seafood restaurant in Ft Lauderdale for the night before our cruise in January.

Can anyone recommend something preferably on the water with a fun, laid back atmosphere!

Thanks so much!

we're staying at at the Eam. Suites!!!

15th Street Fisheries is the best in the area. You'll have a great time there. Take the water taxi over.

Yes I agree

If you have a car and don't mind a drive, City Fish Market is the best seafood place in the area (about 20-30 minutes away) but right off the turnpike and Glades so an easy drive with no traffic lights :)

Fabulous meals!

What about the Bimini Boatyard? We've never eaten there, but heard people talk about it.

It's worth a mention that 15th Street has two menus; upstairs and downstairs. The upstairs is quieter, more elegant, downstairs more like a bar type restaurant. Great views up or down. Great food. Easy to get at. I prefer upstairs because downstairs is salads/sandwich/fried foods, which is fine really, and wallet friendly, but any number of places can do while the dishes upstairs are great and worth the modest price increase for a once in a while or once ever place.

Haven't eaten at Bimini. Live across the street from City Fish Market; expensive, not quick to get to from Fort Lauderdale. Good though.

I can wholeheartedly recommend avoiding Anglins Beach Cafe on Lauderdale Beach. Poor service, incorrect billing, food was "meh".

Huh?

Why would they pay $20 per person to take the Water Taxi instead of walking one block?

It's not on the water but Kelly's Landing is across the street from the Embassy Suites. It's our favorite place for seafood and reasonably priced.

What are the prices for the take out stone crabs in your area?

You can sit downstairs at 15th St Fisheries in the more fun and casual Docksiders restaurant, and ask to order off of the upstairs menu. It's about a mile walk from Embassy Suites, or a short cab ride.

I guess I didn't do a good job of explaining why you can't take the Water Taxi to 15th Street Fisheries from the Embassy Suites as was suggested.

We ate here last March...it was fine but overpriced as far as I'm concerned...like $35 pp for brunch which was no nicer than any other place...we won't be going back...it's for the "beautiful people" from the appearance of the clientel (likely get some backlash for that but I don't drive a fancy car or float a boat...I earn my money with my hands)

I've been eating at Bimini Boatyard for about 20 yrs. My favorite dishes are Diane Salad and Snapper Viequez. It's a nice place for lunch or dinner. If it's a nice day it's lovely to sit on the waterfront patio.

Southport Raw Bar is delicious. It's on the intercostal off of Cordova, about one block down from Kelly's Landing. The best baked clams we have had!!!

I also like the Southport Raw Bar. Short walk from Embassy Suites and it has a great laid back atmosphere. Great clam chowder, oysters, and seafood.
