Boatyard
How to book: days ahead in high season, more for a sunset water-view table — reserve via OpenTable and request the outdoor/Intracoastal side. Arrive by car or by boat (direct dockage; confirm dock availability with the venue). It's a common cruise pre/post-dinner given the Port Everglades proximity — book around ship days.
Best meal: Dinner water-side at sunset — the daily catch/raw bar + a premium steak with the marina and Intracoastal in view; the waterfront table is the occasion. Confirm the current menu on site.
Who it’s NOT for: budget-diners (it's the upscale end of waterfront dining) travelers wanting a downtown/Las Olas walkable spot (it's in the 17th St/marina corridor — drive or boat) diners uninterested in seafood/steak walk-in-no-plan diners wanting a sunset water table in season
