Restaurants near Broward Center for the Performing Arts

Beautiful setting on the Riverwalk. We sat outside on the patio overlooking the boats going by and the ambiance was just really serene and romantic. Around 5:30pm the sun was lower on the sky, so it was not sunny not hot at all, there were a few gnats and bugs flying around the entire time we were there, but that is a downside of being so close to the riverwalk. Our server, from Russia was a nice young lady who was very attentive. We got the snapper filet and the braised ribs. Both were really tasty and the two jumbo shrimp on my snapper were outstanding, maybe the best shrimp I have ever had....just excellent food and service. The experience was not cheap, the two meals with two glasses of wine were around $100, but it was a nice early dinner.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ YOLO in Ft. Lauderdale is an absolute gem! The grilled octopus was a showstopper with its smoky presentation, and the tuna tartare was fresh and flavorful. The charred artichoke was a standout, and every dish, from mains to desserts, was crafted to perfection. The flavors were bold, robust, and layered with depth—truly a culinary experience. Highly recommend YOLO for anyone seeking something special and delicious. A must-visit!

We could not wait to revisit this restaurant. It’s a yearly event and Mario provided stellar service. You must go there!

First time eating at this restaurant would definitely go back anytime I go and see a show at the Broward center. We parked early had a beautiful dinner restrooms inside the restaurant and then we walked over to the show couldn't ask for anything better. The food was excellent selection wonderful service was great. Next time will request a table by the window to watch the votes go by.

I loved the food taste, the presentation was amazing, lots of food choices on the menu. The service was excellent, very pleasant waitress and not a long wait at all. I recommended this restaurant, you will love the food, and everything else.
