CruisingRealtor2018 Posted July 5, 2021 #1 Share Posted July 5, 2021 What are some pre or post cruise dining favorites or recommendations in the Fort Lauderdale area? We do have a vehicle with 2 days pre cruise & 1 day post cruise planned! Just hoping to get some ideas. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tree_skier Posted July 5, 2021 #2 Share Posted July 5, 2021 When we were in Fort Lauderdale pre-cruise in December 2019 we took the family to cheesecake factory. It was great because it caters to such a wife different tastes. It’s certainly not fine dining but a good option for a diverse group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missusdubbya Posted July 5, 2021 #5 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I like the very casual Southport Raw Bar, especially a table on the back deck 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Gopher Posted July 5, 2021 #6 Share Posted July 5, 2021 IL Mulino has amazing Italian! Another good place is The Boatyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuaAZ Posted July 5, 2021 #7 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Recommend Old Heidelberg near the port. Great German food, beer and atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVHillbilly Posted July 5, 2021 #8 Share Posted July 5, 2021 We had a great pre-cruise dinner at 15th Street Fisheries. Upstairs was a more upscale restaurant but we ate downstairs it's more casual. Get the gator bites they were tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We go to the Cheesecake Factory everytime we are in Fort Lauderdale. Always enjoy ourselves and the food. Where we live in Canada there isn't a Cheesecake Factory close to us so when we are in a city that has one we normally go there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkacruiser Posted July 6, 2021 #14 Share Posted July 6, 2021 During my last visit to Fort Lauderdale, I discovered an Italian restaurant that I enjoyed: Casa d'Angelo. It's tucked into a small shopping center and it is not inexpensive. But, the service was impeccable and the food was very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corby114 Posted July 7, 2021 #16 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Louie Bossi’s on Las Olas Blvd has great Italian food. Place is always busy and has a great vibe. It’s very loud and noisy but the drinks and the incredible food make up for it. I just love the place and always go there when I’m visiting South Florida. Good idea to make a dinner reservation if you decide to go. Their pizza is also very good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fisheries is down what looks like a residential street, with apartments/condos on the north side of the street. You can feed the tarpon outside the restaurant.
