    Phenomenal time dining here! The service was amazing. Our waiter Alex was friendly, numerous and his suggestions were absolutely on point. The food was stellar. The shrimp tostone appetizer was delectable, we came in for brunch and shared the Hawaiian roll French toast which I don’t think I’ll ever be able to get off my mind. I had the smash burger Alex suggested and loved it, my mother had the pichana which was is so flavorful. Will absolutely be adding Cada Sensei to my recurring rotation of favorite spots to eat at

    The view, food and vibe at the House on the River was great. Our server Macarena and the hostess Pilar were very polite, professional and attentive on our visit on Valentine's day. 10 out of 10 service. We will be coming back.

    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!
