    We had a wonderful evening, dining at 15th Street Fisheries. Sebastian and Vivian were wonderful servers and made sure to check on us, refill our drinks and answered all of our questions. The food was delicious, as well. They also identify gluten-free and nut-free food options, which was very helpful as I have food allergies. The atmosphere was beautiful and delightful. I would definitely recommend eating here. We will surely be back in the future.

    Just an amazing place to dine and share a good time with people. The atmosphere is so upbeat, staff is super friendly, the service is great and the options for food are terrific. We’re visiting from NY and stay in Miami Beach but we always try to get here at least once during our stay. I had blackened mahi mahi and it was delicious. The others chose a burger or salad and everyone was quite satisfied. My cousin drove down from Boca to meet us and he was thrilled with the Boatyard. A great choice for any occasion!

    YOLO has always been recommended to me ever since I moved down to FLL this past August, so I was very excited to experience it for the first time. It did not disappoint!! The atmosphere, the service, the communication amongst the servers and management, the food quality, and creative menu made point for a wonderful dining experience. They had a DJ out on the front patio area, but it did not overwhelm the indoor dining area, so I could actually hear my colleague's voice. I will recommend this restaurant to all my clients and colleagues who are in town visiting!
