Boatyard - Fort Lauderdale

Nice ambiance. Healthy food options. Bimini bread was delicious…must get! Margaritas were on point. Couldn’t really see the water from our table but nice to see some boats floating by.

Food was excellent. The ONLY thing that was odd...was that it was raining outside...and they have leaky ceilings with buckets sat around to catch the water. The sat us right just off the bar area next to two buckets that were catching drippy water. No one else was seated in the area. There were plenty of tables in the main part of the dining room which appeared to not have leaks and where most guest were seated. I found it odd that a restaurant of this caliber would seat anyone within a foot of the buckets. Part of going to this restaurant is the dining experience, which fell short. Again...the food was great, unfortunately our overall experience was less than enjoyable.

Great experience for my parent's first time. Food and environment was really good.

We have been here many times as locals, and this used to be our go-to place to take people for brunch, lunch, and dinner from out of town. Unfortunately, the quality of the food, as well as the honesty of the menu has taken a turn for the worse. Boatyard has changed their menu to include less expensive, inferior ingredients for some of the options, listed at the same price. I ordered the Boatyard salad, which mentions that it comes with roasted chicken, but it did not, and we were nevertheless charged for the additional shrimp skewer. This salad, which was missing the chicken, and could have been made from pre-packaged ingredients at Publix, costs $26. The prices are outrageous for the quality of food that Boatyard is serving these days. This used to be a very well-executed, interesting menu, but there has been a precipitous decline in quality in recent months.

Everything was great! Grouper is phenomenal. Service exceptional.
