    It was a beautiful day, with great weather, sitting outside. Service was good. I ordered the eggs Benedict with salmon. As I cut into the dish, I realized the English muffin was not toasted, which should have been, however lightly. The eggs were perfectly done but as I tasted more I realized I wasn’t really tasting much of anything. The hollandaise sauce had virtually no taste whatsoever. Isn’t that one of the reasons one orders eggs Benedict - for the hollandaise? So, my overall experience with the food was less than exceptional. Otherwise, it was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. I’d go again but I wouldn’t recommend ordering the eggs Benedict

    We had an absolutely wonderful experience, we got our food really fast and the entire evening was just absolutely amazing. It was our first time here for a date night and I would drive from Orlando just to come eat here. Our waiter (who's name I unfortunately forgot because I'm writing this review a day later) was absolutely amazing, he was witty and funny but also gave us space to enjoy our meal and take in the ambiance. Thank you to the entire staff for this absolutely magical experience

    Our server, Jason H. from the bill, was horrible. No table side manners, and a liar to boot! Didn't intoduce himself, didn’t announce the specials for the evening, and didn’t ask how everything was tasting. We even asked him why he didn't advise of specials when we asked for the bill, he said they were sold out anyway. Frankly, the food wasn't that good to outshine the inferior service. First class restaurants should vet their staff better.....

    I made this reservation for our anniversary and stated so in the reservation. Not that I was expecting anything extra but even just a verbal acknowledgment of our anniversary would have been nice. And maybe not seating us next to the large family with small children and their toys on the ground. The setting on the ocean was beautiful. I had a peach lychee cocktail which was delicious. My husband and I split the lobster salad which was good but not exceptional for $42. I ordered the organic chicken for my entrée thinking it would be a light dish but it was anything about that. Two bites was all I could eat as it was coated in some heavy sauce that was the consistency of honey, without the sweetness and only an overwhelming heavy/greasiness to it. It was all over the vegetables and broccoli as well. The waiter asked me three times if I wanted to take it home and each time I replied no I didn't like it, it's too heavy. To which he said nothing in reply. I would go back again for cocktails, but probably not for dinner. The views were amazing.

    The restaurant was understaffed. Our server Kaylee was either working too many tables or for some other reason rarely came to our table. To start our wine bottle order took forever to arrive. Appetizer and salad arrived long before wine was served. The other server from the other table obviously noticed we were not being serviced properly and would take the time to stop at our table to see how we were. Excessive wait for main courses, had to call bus girl to clear the table. Had to ask busgirl for the bill as Kaylee S. was nowhere in sight. In summary a poor experience at the price point and claims this restaurant has of being the best in Fort Lauderdale. Either hire more staff or train your servers better. My advice to anyone reading this review, take your money elsewhere for now. The restaurant was not even half full and service was this poor.

    It’s a beautiful space by the beach and was a great choice for our little celebration. The food ranged from ok to very good depending on the dish but nothing mind blowing or memorable (simple plating, not especially inventive or creative dishes). Service was good, seated promptly, friendly hostesses, knowledgeable waitress. Disappointed there was no acknowledgement of the birthday person other than a verbal happy birthday when we first sat down. It’s pricey but expected given the location and views.

    The food was excellent. The ambiance was too. Everything was perfect except for our server. Soda arrived watered down. My poached eggs were cold. They must have been sitting waiting to be picked up! I loved the crab croissant. My fellow diners loved their hangar steak and eggs. The desert was delicious. Again, would love to come back - hopefully will a more attentive server.

    Dune is our favorite place to spend an afternoon enjoying great food, service, and music on the beach. We really enjoy having some cocktails or a nice bottle of wine in the area closest to the ocean. The sand on the ground and the beautiful palm trees and plants, the cozy chairs and couches, and ample shade with the umbrellas make it very comfortable to enjoy your time.

    Not worth the money or time. Service was awful, from waiting for utensils after food was served, to waiting for our cocktails to then having to ask for the receipt 3 times. To top off, the waiter stood over looking as I chose tip amount. Everything about this dinner experience was less than poor. Food was not worth it. At all.

    The menu is compromised and limited. The beautiful view does not off set the poor quality of the food. The kitchen is very inflexible about the already limited menu and the waitstaff was reluctant to inquire to the Chef about changes. The food is so disappointing that I would not return there any time soon. This is the 2nd holiday I've dined there where the Staff was not accommodating to menu tweaks. For brunch they served an "omelette" that was made of flour and starch though they insisted it's the French way of cooking. It was inedible. We left hungry. Hospitality training is needed here.
