Cerczm Posted March 19, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Sorry if this has been previously asked, but my search didn't result in anything regarding this topic. We will be sailing the Allure in May (so excited!), and will be flying into Fort Lauderdale the day before. Any restaurant recommendations in the Fort Lauderdale area for dinner the evening before the cruise? Thank you!

GoldenDomer Posted March 19, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 19, 2017 If you like seafood, try the 15th Street Fisheries. Great food, good ambience and scenery. 15streetfisheries.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerczm Posted March 19, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted March 19, 2017 We like all types of food, but I would prefer casual dining - any place that we do not have to get dressed up for, we would like a place that allows jeans, shorts, sundress type of attire.

It might depend on where you are staying, but we liked Capital Grill (expensive) and Blue Martini (not so expensive). We were staying at the Doubletree Gallera One and they were right across the street. You could take the water taxi and walk through the lobby and across the street. Plus very upscale shopping mall right there to do some window shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vagolferbob Posted March 19, 2017 #8 Share Posted March 19, 2017 There is a small mall area on cordoba street which has several casual options like Duffy's, a new Mexican restaurant near lifetime fitness and a pizza restaurant. Just across the street from Kelly's landing. All off of these off 17th st. Sent from my SM-T280 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliea344 Posted March 19, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 19, 2017 We enjoyed Pelican Landing at Pier 66. It's part of the Hyatt but set way back on the pier. It's kind of a walk but we don't mind a nice walk down the pier. It's a great spot to dine outside and check out all the yachts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Dancer Posted March 19, 2017 #10 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Google Ricky's, a wonderful hole in the wall local sports bar. Very loud with the games excitement, but very good food. We had the twin lobsters for about $25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theredwoodguy Posted March 19, 2017 #11 Share Posted March 19, 2017 When we cruise from Fort Lauderdale we always eat at Bubba Gumps the night before. In fact, when we cruise from Miami we always eat at Bubba Gumps the night before!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grand isle joe Posted March 19, 2017 #12 Share Posted March 19, 2017 We enjoyed Pelican Landing at Pier 66. It's part of the Hyatt but set way back on the pier. It's kind of a walk but we don't mind a nice walk down the pier. It's a great spot to dine outside and check out all the yachts. I agree. Pretty good fish for such a small space but great festive atmosphere. We stayed in the Hyatt and that had a pretty nice pool area as well as a wonderful stroll amongst the million dollar yachts.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie43 Posted March 20, 2017 #18 Share Posted March 20, 2017 On our recent trip, we ate at Bubba Gump after our initial plans fell through and we were unable to get reservations.

Thanks so much! Sent from my iPad using Forums Southport Raw Bar Located on Cordova Road. Good southern style seafood and as casual as you'll find. American Social Located on East Las Olas Blvd. and has a great Sunday brunch. Bloody Mary's and Mimosa's included. We usually do the brunch post cruise on the way to the airport. Reservations are required so we make them before getting on the ship. Make sure you tell them you'll be on a cruise because they'll try to call you on Saturday to confirm your reservation.

oneputt18 Posted March 20, 2017 #24 Share Posted March 20, 2017 A great local place to eat is Lil Reds.

It's kind of a walk but we don't mind a nice walk down the pier. It's a great spot to dine outside and check out all the yachts. We ate here the night before Allure a couple of years ago. We loved it! There was a bit of a wait, but we enjoyed a drink and standing out of the way a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
