Olive & Sea is a rooftop waterfront restaurant on the famed Fort Lauderdale Intracoastal, serving colorful and bold Mediterranean-style dishes, livened by fresh flavors, locally sourced daily seafood specials, and ethically sourced seasons and rubs. Complementing the extensive menu is a creatively crafted cocktail program that infuses traditional Eastern Mediterranean spices, and locally inspired ingredients like citrus and herbs, to deliver a taste sensation as bold in flavor as they are in color. Whether hopping off the Water Taxi for a quick coastal cocktail, convening with friends for happy hour, celebrating a special occasion, or simply looking to enjoy an exquisite dining experience and sweeping Intracoastal views, Olive and Sea is a must-sea-and-taste destination. Sunday-Thursday, the kitchen is open until 10pm and the bar is open until 10:30pm.

Food is embarrassingly bad, service was sub par at best. This place must stay in business due to the views. That being said, Bambi the manager is a sweetheart!
