lovevacadays Posted August 26, 2009 #1 Share Posted August 26, 2009 We will be staying at the Marriott Beach Place Towers the night before our cruise. Any suggestions for a good restaurant nearby? Pretty open to type of food. Price range $20ish per person without drinks. Also, are there shops or anything to walk to from there? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentS Posted August 26, 2009 #2 Share Posted August 26, 2009 This is right in front of Marriott Beach Place... http://www.galleryatbeachplace.com/ There is a large selection of restaurants within a few blocks of there, that location is excellent.

Bequia Posted August 26, 2009 #3 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Within the Beach Place complex is Lulus Bait Shack, nothing fancy, decent food, great place to hang out and people watch. http://www.lulusbaitshack.com/ ////// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalcruz Posted August 26, 2009 #4 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Most of the food in the area is not very good. Within Beach Place, you can get great "fun food" at Sloppy Joes and Lulus. The places in the area with reliable good food are H20 (next door), Casablanca Cafe (a few blocks north), and Coconuts (about a half mile south on intracoastal). All have indoor/outdoor dining. These are all in your price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovevacadays Posted August 27, 2009 Author #5 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Thanks for the info. Sounds like some good places. I guess I am going to have to look at the Marriott website and get more info on where we are staying! Everyone is using the term "complex" so it sounds like they are connected to some restaurants and shops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, right across the street from the beach is a 3-story shopping/bar/dining complex, and behind it is the hotel. There are public bathrooms and a 24/7 CVS drugstore in the complex, so it's a really convenient place to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royalcruz Posted September 11, 2009 #11 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Over at tripadvisor, they are posting that Sloppy Joes has closed. You are so right, I walked by there today, and noticed that there was no Sloppy Joes sign! The restaurant under it also recently closed (it was a Mediteranian hookah bar/grill and formerly was Palm Grill). Fat Tuesdays, Lulus, and Hooters are still opened and looked busy. I ate lunch at Quarterdeck and it was ok but nothing special...very reasonable prices though. Ate dinner at Casablanca Cafe Sunday night and had a yummy ravioli starter and a delicious grilled trout special (about $21). The service was excellent and there was a fun entertainer in the piano bar. It took about 50 minutes to get a seat outside, so we put our names down and walked to Las Olas and back.
