The house of Vue brunch is a wonderful experience and we had the perfect weather to accompany the ambiance created by the house team. Right on the Riverwalk with a great view of the river and activities. We ordered the Vue Rose (x2 bottles!) for three of us. Started with the caviar and Chips appetizer followed by a burger with truffle fries, the frite bites and a Caesar salad with chicken. A perfect afternoon.

Moxies was the best dinner we had during our visit to Ft Lauderdale! The drinks were amazing, food was absolutely delicious. It is quite loud with a big bar scene, but we don't mind that vibe! Definitely a place to check out. We will be back!!

This was a nice spot and the happy hour menu was really good. Customer service with the bartenders could be better. It took a while to get served and even more time elapsed before my water was refreshed. And I was at the bar eating for happy hour.

What a wonderful brunch at Shooters! Located on the waterway, the view of the water, architecture, and boats is priceless. Adequate space outside which allowed for intimate conversation. Aside from the food - which was outstanding (burgers, ahi poke, coconut shrimp, etc. for the table), our server Sadiya was the BEST! Looking forward to my next trip to Fort Lauderdale and dining with Shooters.
