Recommendation for dinner for large group Ft Lauderdale

[cruzin4our10th]

We will be in Fort Lauderdale for a National Gymnastics competetion in June and our team would like to get together for dinner one night. I am looking for recommendations for large group 25-30 that will be a crowd pleaser for kids and adults. Thanks!

Where will the group be staying?

 

I have some experience feeding gymnasts so I presume they won't be eating burger, fries and other fried foods?

I'd go to Aruba.

We all have different hotels some in condos. Somewhere with a good selection, burgers, seafood, chicken. The families of the gymnasts don't need to eat light and some of the gymnasts will be done competing for the week when we get together.

 

I will look at Aruba. I think I saw them recommended in here. Do you know if they have a website?

Great location with the beach, pier and a couple of public parking lots just a couple blocks away, but I think Aruba might have a hard time accommodating a group that large as busy as they are. They would definitely need to call well in advance and ask them if they could put that many tables together at the desired time.

Duffy's is a family friendly sports bar & grill, near the port.

Just trying to pin down the area of Broward County where most of your group is staying to keep suggestions somewhat central to the group or within a half hour drive.

[cruzin4our10th]

Most are staying right in the convention center area as that is where the meet is at.

What about Benihana?

 

Water view on the Intracoastal, group concept, Lauderdale By the Sea, entertainment in preparation and a variety of chicken, beef, pork and seafood. They do have a children's menu, but no burgers.

Bimini Boatyard is a short walk from the convention center and has private rooms for groups...

Well..I was on a Southwest Airlines plane to Chicago Friday evening with a bunch of gymnasts so I'm wondering if that was you?

The chart house is good! If you want Italian go to il mulino on sunrise blvd.

The Chart House? It must be a different one than what I know....

The Chart House I have eaten at is at least 45.00/55.00 per person

and really not "kid friendly"...........the menu is ala carte....quite

pricey as nothing comes with your entree...all the sides are extra $.

[njitalian76]

So what don't eat there if its too expensive..... That's why I also said il mulino.

Great seafood, family style seating, is a water taxi stop.

Uh...Whoa! The Rustic Inn is nowhere close to the Water Taxi. As a matter of fact it's not close to anything but warehouses and a bunch of boats on dry land.

 

Besides, these folks have already been to Ft Lauderdale and are back in Illinois.

They are? Is there a date when she said they were coming to FLL?

And that they are already back home? I think people were just trying

to help.:eek:

The gymnastics meet was last week.

 

And telling anyone, anytime the Rustic Inn is a Water Taxi stop is not helpful to anyone.
