Ask for the Dine Out Menu

Dine 2025Not every restaurant automatically hands it out, so be sure to ask your server for the Dine Out Lauderdale menu alongside the regular menu. You can always add in an extra appetizer or cocktail if something catches your eye.

 

Get Around Via the Water Taxi

15th Street Fisheries

If you're planning a meal along the Intracoastal or a different neighborhood than where you’re staying, consider taking the Water Taxi instead of driving. These yellow hop-on, hop-off boats let you skip the hunt for parking, enjoy scenic views along the way, and easily make dining a moment of exploring around town. Several routes are available, from as far north as Pompano Beach to Hollywood.

 

Try Somewhere New
