    They did a great job making my daughter’s birthday special. Live musician was great and added to overall ambiance. The only complaint is the charge for valet. It is by no means an economy restaurant even though a small fee to park at $8 just seems like it should be included.

    I have been eating here for 30 years. We came down to get on a ship and I had to stop by. The ambiance is rustic but high end, the views on the ocean are fantastic. We had a wonderful waitress that deserves 6 not 5 starts. We had brunch, I ordered the conch fritters and another app. My husband had their Lobster Bisque which was delicious, try these two apps, they are delicious. Brunch had a menu with brunchie items like lobster benedict also classic eggs Benny. There was a lunch selection of various fish and sandwiches with popular fish. I wanted to finish with a Key Lime Pie but I was full. They had fresh bread, pumpernickel and a whole wheat hard crust fresh bread and frozen butter. You can't go wrong here.

    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.
