Amolin Posted February 1, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 1, 2013 We are leaving on the Zuiderdam on 2/15 and will arrive in FLL early am on the 14th. It will be my husband and I and DD, 16. We are staying at Embassy Suites. Usually when we arrive we spend the day sightseeing, stopping at Total Wine and pick a spot within walking distance for dinner. I know at home every restaurant from a pizzeria to the fanciest will be mobbed on Valentine's day. Does anyone know if it will be like this in FLL? Will I have to try to find some place and make a reservation now? We have had many good meals over the years, but I honestly don't remember the names of the restaurants, just that we walked to them. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamaofami Posted February 1, 2013 #3 Share Posted February 1, 2013 If you have a car, there are loads of very nice restaurants on Los Olas Blvd. If you're near the water taxi, they stop there and you can walk to loads of restaurants. I bet most places will have reservations for that night, so do a google search and see what interests you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariner Posted February 2, 2013 #4 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Make a reservation at Grille 66. A short cab ride away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the street is mobbed with people enjoying the holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariner Posted February 2, 2013 #6 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Guess Ive spent 15 V-Days in FLL. The nice restaurants require reservations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwaysfrantic Posted February 3, 2013 #7 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Same ship. Same worry for dinner on Thursday night. Open Table has a list of places you can reserve via their website. I made one at Bimini Boatyard, mostly because I had heard the name here, and I hadn't read the other available restaurant names on this forum.

sail7seas Posted February 3, 2013 #8 Share Posted February 3, 2013 There are lots of restaurants in FLL so you'll be able to walk in somewhere but if you want a lovely dinner, a nice restaurant, you may wish to pre-reserve. There is a lovely restaurant at Rennaissance Hotel, near Embassy Suites. We have not dined there but have heard good things about it. Bravo is walking distance for a good walker. It is located on 17th Street at The Quay. Bimini Boatyard is in the same mini-mall. The Grateful Palate is nearby but it is quite pricey. You would want a reservation. If you are willing to taxi, I could list many places including very nice spots on Los Olas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted February 3, 2013 #9 Share Posted February 3, 2013 For Valentine's Day -- the more popular restaurants will require reservations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted February 3, 2013 #10 Share Posted February 3, 2013 The higher end places likely will be full and not accepting walk ins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genmasjoy Posted February 3, 2013 #11 Share Posted February 3, 2013 You could just have a casual meal on the 14th and then celebrate Valentine's day once you are on the cruise, maybe with a special dinner at Pinnacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
