"It's a nice restaurant, well priced, it had been highly recommended - perhaps it was our food choice; bread was so sweet and salad was a great salad but too heavy on the dressing, popcorn shrimp were good; service was very friendly and efficient"

"Looking for the 'perfect place' to have dinner in Ft. Lauderdale is a daunting task...mostly because there are so many options. We chose Bimini Boatyard as we were staying at the Hyatt Pier 66, and the Bimini Boatyard was a short walk over the intercoastal waterway bridge. We were very happy to find a comfortable crowd, great food (including awesome conch fritters. Tucked away in the back of a shopping center, it suprised us to find a fun outdoor deck with water views, excellent bar service, and good table service. We were not disappointed, and will go back again some day."

"We've had dinner here a few times. The outdoor dinning area is great, The food is good - not great. Some things like the sweet potato fries have a pre prepared look and taste, veggies can be greasy. The fish is fresh and well prepared. Burgers are good, ... we'll go back again -- we know they have potential to deliver a dinner everyone enjoys."
