Restaurants near Tara Hotel

Thank you for an amazing dining experience, as always! Liz made sure everything started off perfectly from the moment we walked in. Our date night kicked off at the bar, where Dillon wowed us with a perfectly crafted Paper Plane. The bar had this awesome vibe—relaxing, yet full of energy, like being on an elegant cruise ship. Even though Sean wasn’t our server at the bar, he still popped by to chat and check in, which was really nice! After that, Phoebe and Daisy took fantastic care of us when we were seated in the hidden library. It was intimate but still had a great buzz. We ordered the Dover Sole Picatta and the New Zealand Rack of Lamb—both dishes were absolute perfection: tender, flavorful, and delicious. To top it all off, Henry, the manager, swung by to say hello and surprised us with an incredible cheesecake to finish the night. Apologies in advance if I’ve misspelled anyone’s name, but thank you again for making our night special—we can’t wait to come back!

We didn't let the cloudy day get us down. Our first time here, we arrived just past noon for our reservation (for inside dining). What a delight! The service was exceptional! We ordered: Drinks: *virgin bloodymary⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ * mocktail foam thingy⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ * deep into the sea⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ * smoke thingy⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ * still water Eats: *empanadas⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ * oysters⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ * wagyu dumplings⭐️⭐️ * charcuterie board⭐️⭐️ Dessert: * key lime parfait⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dj played chill vibes that sounded great and was unobtrusive. Was great. Presentation for everything is A+ 5 stars Service is equally awesome! Views outside are simply incredible and unmatched in Fort Lauderdale. Opportunities for improvement: * non-alc beer would be great * patio fan brought indoors and hidden * kill the charcuterie or make it better * lean into the nube galaxy vibe for interior design Eager to come back and try other items from the cocktail and Eats menu. Sidenote: never valet unless you have no other option. We've been to this hotel many many many too many times and 99% have the worst valet experience. Worth it to use a rideshare app and avoid valet. It's honestly the worst valet I have ever experienced in 20 years of using valet across the country.

We sat outside and it was perfect. Not to loud and the wind blocks were down because of the weather. However they leave them set up enough at the bottom where you have an amazing view of the ocean and beach. Food was amazing - we had sushi - oysters - tuna - ribs and miso soup. Dessert we ordered the cheese cake because it was easy to travel and we could bring home - it was delish the next day!!! It was our 30th wedding anniversary so they gave us an ice cream sushi roll. I don’t think I would have ordered this on my own but it was so good. I will be starting my meal with that next visit there. The service was first class. Our waiter, Bon was on top of everything and every suggestion he made, after hearing what we liked, was point on. He was friendly and gave us enough time between orders to digest a bit. I had the tequila drink that came in a blow fish cup (so cute) and so good. Over all it was an amazing dinner with great service at a beautiful restaurant. Thank you Bon for a great dinner out.

I have been to S3 several times and it never disappoints. The food was great, always something new on the menu. The service was top notch and the views are breathtaking. Regina our server was great, she gave us great recommendations. I will continue to bring visitors to this great restaurant as it captures the essence of Fort Lauderdale.

Wonderful food....service was terrific. Its a great place to come to get out of the busy reception/lounge area of the W hotel. There were non-meat options as well on the menu. We enjoyed a relaxed, delicious meal, with a great view of the ocean. I bet without an approaching hurricane, the setting would have been even better!
