    A wonderful setting is complimented by delightful food and excellent service. The staff from the front door, bar and our server, James, were professional yet personable. The food was sublime; lobster bisque and crab cake to start with fried scallops and lobster risotto for the main course and a house made cheesecake to finish the evening. With a wide ranging wine list and cocktail menu, you’re sure to find a new delight to savor. One consideration; we were there early, a party of two and were glad to go to our performance at the Broward because the dining room fills up with large parties and gets quite loud. Its definitely a special occasion place with a lively bar crowd.

    We have eaten at the Lobster Bar many times and always enjoyed it. Last night didn’t live up to expectation’s. The service was mediocre at best. Our food took over an hour to come once the order was placed. Bread basket was blah.Water refills were hard to come by even with water bottle left on table. My steak was ordered medium. It came charred and well done . The lobster meals were great. Sorry to say I won’t be rushing back.

    Have to say for our 1st time at this restaurant, we had high expectations for our 22nd anniversary dinner, unfortunately some things fell short of a five star restaurant. We were seated at a lovely table, nice ambiance, Earle was our waiter. He was good but not outstanding…had to wait 20min for our 2nd cocktail, didn’t see him often during the meal….for the prices of this meal, we expected much better service. And when we asked to package our beef and potato to take home, the waiter forgot about it so we had to ask. It was like they took it out of the garbage, wasn’t even the right potato! We spoke to the manager who provided a new steak and potato to take home along with a piece of cheesecake, that was nice of him to do…but honestly we will NOT go back to this restaurant. Way too high priced…

    We did not have a good first experience here ..... they sat us at a table to start literally one foot from the bombarded crowded front door .... I said no so they sat us at a tiny tiny table. The main reason for me coming was because they had my favorite Prosecco.., which I soon discovered they only sold by the bottle... but I cannot finish a whole bottle alone so a major let down . The food was bland the mashed potatoes tasted like Publix microwave mashed potato . The brussel sprouts were HORRIBLE AND TASTED LIKE AMMONIA and it's apparently supposed to serve 2? It was the size of a soup from Whole Foods ... my husband went to pay in cash and apparently this is the only restaurant we have ever been to that doesn't take cash. Absolutely atrocious...... if you want a incrediable experience dog two doors down to Eddie Vs it's unbelievable for the same money

    I was looking forward to the Black Diamond super Prime. I ordered a dry aged ribeye. The waiter explained to me that it was cooked in a 1700° oven and comes out with a nice char.  I was excited. I added a South African lobster tail that was deep-fried. I prefer steamed with drawn butter. When the steak came out, it was saturated and covered in a light brown sauce. I was not happy about this & it was extremely salty. The sauce made it more like a soup meat and there was no char. I returned it. The second one came and was also very salty. I am someone who has a lot of experience in buying and cooking high-end quality steaks and I left feeling disappointed. Sorry. On the other hand, the restaurant is absolutely beautiful. The bartenders, servers, & staff are attentive & excellent.

Our waiter, John, was excellent. He provided a 5-Star experience. The food and wine was the best we've had in the Ft. Lauderdale area. Thank you for participating in our celebration!

    We have dined several times at this location. You must have a new chef. No fine restaurant serves pearl onions in Escargot. This is not a good combination and they were Luke warm at best. Escargot is made with a garlic and butter combination in a shell, pastry or potato. The chopped salad....I had no idea what was inside it. Not good at all. We had the stuffed lobster for $87 was not worth it. The stuffing tasted like a stove top stuffing. No seafood taste AT ALL. The lobster itself was delicious and the filet we had was also very good and cooked perfectly. We receive a complimentary anniversary desert. thank you. But what was that..Some type of a hard shell with a mushy cream inside served with a shaved orange type of sorbet. These changes remind me of a island theme type of menu. No very good . Go back to the menu that works.

    Lobster served in a medium spicy sauce was horrible. Grilled with drawn butter would be better. Shrimp cocktail 4 medium size shrimp was an embarrassment. Steak for 2 had some serious veiny stuff going on!! Very disappointing on this trip. I usually bring clients of gas here when I am in town. But this time around was a huge disappointment except the service was amazing as usual the restaurant is absolutely beautiful. The food quality was not prime, and they need to step it up a notch or three.

    We love this restaurant but it felt a little chaotic this time. Wait staff running into each other and not being totally in sync with what each other was doing. At one point the wrong dishes were set on our table. It wasn’t a relaxing atmosphere but we will give them another try.

    Place is great, unfortunately Boat show crowd made it different…..it was busy but this is normal in any restaurant in the Miami area- Fort Lauderdale area, the level of noise was beyond comprehension, we literally had to scream to hear each other, music could not be heard. Food was good, our server was very nice but the star of the night was the hostess. She was super friendly and attentive.
