js Posted October 6, 2015 #1 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Hi. We will be 11 family members all meeting in FLL staying at the Embassy Suites in FLL, 17th Street on December 27. We will not have a car. Is there a fun, casual place for dinner to get us in the cruise mood close by in walking distance? If so, I would like to make a reservation. Thank you all.

JohninDC Posted October 6, 2015 #2 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Not sure about reservations but I would try Duffy's (sports bar), Southport Raw Bar or Kelly's Landing (seafood). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely Duffys but if you want to sit outside, Bimini Boatyard will be open by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzmund Posted October 7, 2015 #5 Share Posted October 7, 2015 We always had a fun time (and good food) at Bimini Boatyard. I have heard it is closed but will be re-opening under new management. You could sit outside and check out the yachts and get into the cruise vibe. I hope it reopens soon as we will be in FLL in mid November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eng23 Posted October 7, 2015 #7 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I concur with Duffy's, it's right behind the hotel. Southport Raw Bar is a good choice too, it's a 5 minute walk across 17th Street on Cordova Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judie43 Posted October 11, 2015 #13 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Duffy's Sports Bar has really good food. If you like Mexican food Carlos and Pepe's is also good. In the plaza right across from Embassy Suites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisequeen007 Posted October 12, 2015 #14 Share Posted October 12, 2015 We always eat at Duffy's the night before out cruise leaves. They have good food and 2 for 1 drinks all day. We signed up for their perk card and got an email good for $20. the next time we ate at their restaurant. Planning on going there again on Nov 13.

Hello, Sharon. I see that Boatyard did open this past Saturday. However, that is all their new website page says. Do you have any links to their new menu yet; or, have you heard anything about the food yet? Thanks, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I eat there all the time and have never had a bad meal. I don't know what the bad reviews could possibly be about. Like once a week all the time. So, Royalcruz.....did you make it on Saturday? If so, what's the verdict? Thanks, Paul Paul, it was great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
