Top Restaurants 15 Open Saturday near you in Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Wil Jones Ill start this by saying Im not a fan of guacamole. Ive never had the urge for it or been pleased at the taste but I figured Id try it after hearing that it was home-made it. It was the best guacamole Ive ever tasted. I LOVED it. I couldnt stop stuffing my face with it and Ive never gone nuts like that over a dip before. The nachos were fresh, the enchiladas I got were flavorful and the churros were nice size too. Theres lots of artwork and decal that all are interesting to look at so the atmosphere is great as well. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Nissa Belmonte Hands down best seafood in Fort Lauderdale. Anna made amazing suggestions. Scoobies are a MUST, raw oysters were fresh and flavourful, coconut shrimp huge and Krispie, birria tacos and oyster Rockefeller were great too. Highly recommend! This will be a repeat stop every time we’re in town.

Tawanda Sims This was truly the best experience ever. I brought my team here for our holiday gathering, and they were absolutely impressed from start to finish. Liv, our server, was outstanding—attentive, warm, and incredibly professional. Loma Grant was, as always, exceptional. Working with her is a pleasure because of her professionalism and the genuine care she shows to Riverside guests, vendors, and clients, consistently delivering excellent service. If you’re in the area, make sure to stop by. You won’t be disappointed.

Laurie MacDonald The best food in Fort Lauderdale, bar none. We have been going here for years and bringing guests. They are always amazed. Owner Joe Esposito and his staff, especially Aldo, are amazing. Clams Navarro, amazing salad, Snapper, grouper, soft shell crabs Crab bisque even lamb shank and rabbit. All fantastic. All sorts of different fish dishes and veal with a Spanish flair. Do not miss Cafe Seville. I guarantee you will return over and over again.

Christina Person Louie Bossi delivered an absolutely outstanding dining experience from start to finish. The appetizer Parmigiano Reggiano was the perfect way to begin—rich, savory, and full of authentic Italian flavor. The Arthur Avenue Salad was fresh, well-balanced, and packed with classic Italian touches. For the main course, the Chicken Parmesan was excellent—tender chicken, rich sauce, and perfectly melted cheese. The Rosso pizza was another standout, with a great crust and bold, delicious flavors. To top it all off, the Prosecco Pop was a fun and refreshing drink that paired perfectly with the meal. What truly elevated the experience was our server, Kristine. She was amazing—friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Five stars all around and highly recommended!

Ashley Marie The staff was absolutely amazing, drinks are all wonderful (please try their seasonal selection!), and the food was even better. Visited with 3 girl friends as our Friendsgiving from Miami & it was totally worth the trip. Can’t wait to go back!

Stéphanie C What a fantastic restaurant and amazing staff! I initially booked for a Friday night but, unfortunately, I was denied entry to my flight as I arrived after the cut-off time. I was kindly rebooked to a later flight, but that meant I would miss my reservation in Florida. Thankfully, the kind lady at Maass, Victoria, graciously moved my reservation to Monday night :thank you, Victoria! When I arrived, I had to wait 10-15 minutes to be seated. I would have appreciated a small acknowledgment or even an offer of a drink during the wait, but once we were seated, the rest of the evening was absolutely incredible. Chef Ryan truly delivered! From the very first dish: oysters with a poached egg to the final dish, his personal favorite, a vanilla ice cream with hazelnuts, a lemon-flavored madeleine, and a delicious homemade jujube, it was an explosion of flavors in every bite. The 11-course meal was a journey, with each plate and drink pairing surpassing the last. My personal favorite dish was the Japanese rice with maitake mushrooms and a white sauce, and my favorite drink was the second pairing: a delightful mix of pineapple, passion fruit, citrus, and a subtle bitter finish. I also want to give a special shoutout to our server, whose name I didn’t catch, but I affectionately called him my “Colombian King.” He was proud of his heritage, full of energy, and incredibly sweet and attentive throughout the evening. I will definitely be back with my future husband and family. Truly an unforgettable dining experience!

Tamarie Prewitt I love the food here! The margaritas were absolutely delicious. The view of the beach was phenomenal. I have to say it again the food was incredibly delicious. The birds were funny to watch steal packets of sugar off off the bar.

Dan Boback I’m not sure what else can be said that hasn’t already, but in our experience, dinner at Daniel’s on 1/6/26 was absolute perfection, and may have been the best dinner I’ve ever enjoyed in my life. Just a terrific choice of appetizers and we selected the burrata with fresh tomatoes. Absolutely stellar and off the charts delicious. Wish I had taken a photo because the presentation was equally perfect as the dish itself. The main selections were difficult to make. But we ultimately chose the Wagyu filet and the regular 8oz filet. Both were superb, and the Wagyu was perhaps the most delicious cut of steak I’ve ever had, and yes, I’ve been to Sizzler. We enjoyed the truffle mashed potatoes as our side, and then topped it all off with the skillet cookie that was simply unreal. Felipe, our server (I hope I’m spelling his name correctly) did a fantastic job and was full of information on everything on the menu. He respectfully suggested I change my original selection to the Wagyu and I’m incredibly happy he did. We love visiting upper end steakhouses across the country and Daniel’s is currently at the top of that list. We will return to Fort Lauderdale just to have dinner here again. Kudos to ownership, management and a great kitchen staff on such a fine establishment.

Michael Ocasio Excellent Mexican food. The crab lump meat guacamole was delicious. Not expensive. Fair prices considering you sit right across ft Lauderdale Beach. Excellent view sitting outside. Great drinks as well Sangria was a hit. Waitress showed excellent service. Definitely would eat here again.

Gorana Ilić Francheska provided excellent service during our visit, and the food was outstanding. Every dish was delicious and well-prepared. Francheska had a great attitude and made us feel very welcomed from the moment we sat down. It made for a relaxing and enjoyable dining experience. I highly recommend this spot for both the hospitality and the cuisine.

Jermaine This was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. The food was expertly prepared—perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked, and truly memorable. The ambiance made it even better; dining right next to the water created such a relaxing, picturesque atmosphere that elevated the entire evening. Our server, Joe, was exceptional. He had a calm, welcoming presence and provided outstanding service throughout our visit. He was incredibly attentive, answered all of our questions with patience and warmth, and genuinely made us feel well taken care of. Servers like Joe make all the difference, and I sincerely hope we’re lucky enough to be seated with him again. Without question, I’ll be returning—and I’m already looking forward to trying the dinner cruise as well. A wonderful experience all around!

M. Abusaa The House on the River offers a pleasant setting with a calm waterfront atmosphere and friendly service. We tried several dishes. The shrimp salad was fresh, well-seasoned, and came with crisp vegetables. The tortellini dish was rich and flavorful with a good mix of vegetables. The mussels were cooked properly and served in a tasty broth with toasted bread. Overall, the food was solid, the view is a clear highlight, and the staff was attentive. A good spot for a relaxed meal by the water.

Daniel Yan The owner was super kind and thoughtful. 10/10 service. The food was delicious. Not a single thing we ordered was bad. The bread was great along with the vegetable soup. Highlights were the eggplant parmigiana, linguini and meatballs, and shrimp pasta. To top it all off everything was very affordable being about $25 per person. For this price, service, and quality we will definitely be coming again when we’re back in the area.

Arnise Augustin Kaluz is always a vibe... when the weather is comfortable, get seated outside... the view is incredible watching the yachts/boats pass by... I like to try the seasonal chef suggestions when it comes to my meal, just to keep things interesting... just make sure to leave room for dessert! The options are beyond delicious.... I love the bread pudding and the banana cake!
