Thanksgiving in Fort Lauderdale

[J13C85]

We are arriving TG day around 14:00 and staying at W Fort Lauderdale for 2 nights prior to our cruise.  Any thoughts on if we will be able to find a good meal in that area on Thanksgiving.  Have heard "The Floridian" on Las Olas is 24/7 and pretty good.  Any comments, suggestions or advice is appreciated.

Having lived right on Las Olas for a few years....it is pretty quiet for thanksgiving. The Floridian wouldn't be my dinner choice (great breakfast choice) and I can't answer if they are even open Thanksgiving. Since you are staying right at the beach at the W I would suggest having dinner right in that area as it will be pretty much business as usual by the beach hotels on Thanksgiving. There are lots good restaurants right around the W. Steak 954 right at the W is excellent. You may also want to check out S3 right across the street from the W at The Hilton.
