    Menu as of 6/4/2024.
    Jenni M.

    Acquario is a restaurant at the Lago Mar Beach Resort and Club offering modern American fare. My daughters and I had our last sit-down meal at this resort back on June 5, 2024. It was not crowded at all for our 6:30PM phone-in reservation. We had a lovely meal: + Iced waters were served before I had a chance to say no thanks. Lol. + Complimentary table bread - came drenched in olive oil and tons of shredded Parmesan cheese all over - good! + Cabernet sauvignon. Quilt... Napa Valley. $14. I enjoyed this very much. + Shrimp cocktail appetizer. Came with a side dish of Cole slaw and sliced lemons. $16. + Filet mignon cooked medium rare. $42. Yes, I would order this again. + Iced tea ($2.95) + Root beer ($2.75) + Kids both had pasta with meatballs ($10 per plate) from the kid's menu. It's a significant serving. I was taken aback by how many folks did not dress nice for the occasion. This is linen table setting dining... dress up for crying out loud! Staff was friendly and mostly quick.

    Menu in November 2023

    Acquario restaurant is located inside the Lago Mar Beach Resort and Club. The hotel's website says that Acquario is open only to members and guests of the resort. In November 2023, the menu listed appetizers such as calamari and crab cakes, a few salads, and several entrees such as mahi mahi, swordfish, veal parmesan, and filet mignon. Please see my attached photos for the full menu. In the past few years, I have eaten a few meals at Acquario. For my most recent visit, my husband and I did not need a reservation, and we wore shorts and t-shirts. The host and the waiter smiled, made friendly conversation, and promptly served us. Here are my reviews for our foods: Florida-style ahi poke - $16 - 4 stars - This appetizer contained ahi tuna, avocado, scallions, and sauce. On the side was plantain chips. My husband said that he liked how the plantain chips added some crunch to the ahi tuna. Shrimp cocktail - $16 - 4.5 stars - These shrimp were a very jumbo size, were very fresh, and were served with a cocktail sauce. On the side was a coleslaw that my husband said was one of the best coleslaws that he has ever eaten. Port-wine braised short rib - $30 - 4 stars - This 10-ounce short rib was topped with a flavorful port-wine demi-glace sauce. On the side was mashed potatoes that my husband said were delicious. Shrimp scampi - $32 - 4.5 stars - The linguini noodles were cooked well, and they were mixed with several large and fresh shrimps as well as white wine, lemon, and garlic. My husband and I thought that this shrimp scampi tasted excellent. For a previous visit years ago, I thought that the filet mignon tasted very good and that the crab cakes needed more meat and less breadcrumbs.

    We arrived late at the hotel and came here because of convenience (open until 10 pm) but were really impressed. Place was hopping on a weekday with groups hanging out at the large comfy lounge and a live piano player entertaining guests. A very comfortable lived in ambiance with huge windows all around looking out to the tropical garden and pools. Waitress and busboy were very friendly and helpful. I got the $44 three course meal with choice of appetizer, entree and dessert. Huge crisp fried calamari was great and helped all three of us sate our hunger. The blackened mahi mahi entree was excellent. My wife got the mahi mahi on top of a robust Caesar and kale salad and also found it well prepared. Our daughter got the huge portion of shrimp scampi, which was as good as the best Italian restaurants with tons of garlic and lots of large shrimps. Key lime pie was good and not too sweet. We all took back leftovers and plan to return for the breakfast buffet and possibly also the Xmas brunch. A very comfortable and enjoyable experience with tons of good quality food and welcoming staff!

If you're looking for a place with the typical beach vibe that's open air, this is it. If you're looking for a place to escape the heat, look elsewhere.

Tastes were free & any following shots were to be paid for...... but that isn't what was happening. The food was average at best while the prices for said meals were astronomical! A small pepperoni pizza was $26! A single piňa colada was $15. A single piece of beer-battered fish with fries was $33! Add on an already included 20% tip (disguised as a service charge,)another 5% event charge, and then a 3% credit card surcharge = $107 for 2 people to have lunch among hundreds of young adults consuming copious amounts of 'free' alcohol WITH the servers who were on the clock! We will NOT be back! Leaving tables unattended so you can drink with other customers is uncalled for! The owners of this establishment should be ashamed that they allow such behavior from their servers.

Caesar had thick cut bacon on it and the patty melt was on some really amazing Rye bread. As good as the food was, the service was better! Sophia P was my waitress and she killed it.

I'm still dreaming about those Girl Scout Thin Mint-inspired pancakes. They were unbelievably delicious, and the portion was huge , perfect for sharing with the table. We also ordered the banana bread grilled cheese as a second "dessert breakfast" item, and it was such a fun and tasty treat. For our main dishes, we tried two different types of Benedict: the short rib and the crab cake. Both were excellent, but the short rib Benedict edged out just a bit with its rich, savory flavors. That said, the crab cake Benedict did not disappoint either which they were generous with the crab, and it tasted incredibly fresh. Our cocktails were just as good as the food and made the whole brunch experience even better. The perfect weekend brunch vibe. Can't wait to go back!

The place is pretty small and kinda narrow format but just fitting enough for some great bites and a drink! Having seafood in another state other than California is definitely worth a try especially if you can find a place that serves whole lobsters! We got 2.5 lb whole lobster for only $60! And fresh! The clam and lobster chowder is a definite perfect starter to choose from especially on a cooler night. Large menu, great food portions but not too much of a variety selection for all, so if you don't like seafood, it's majority seafood type and mixes but has decent options for all.

Our waitress made the dining experience very enjoyable-- she was making lots of jokes and interacted with both adults and kids. The downside was we waited a while for a table--we had a large group so understandable. We did have to wait 45 min for the adults to get their food. The place is small and they said the cooks were understaffed. Pros: - Great wait staff - Good seafood. Get the chowder. Cons: - Lots of waiting

    Absolutely the best lunch at Laudy Bar & Craft Kitchen!…read more I read that they had a really nice brunch, so we decided to take a ride down to Fort Lauderdale and check it out. I'm so glad we did! Laudy Bar & Craft Kitchen is in Fort Lauderdale, between Broward Blvd and Sunrise on Northwest 1st Avenue, in one of the newer residential areas with a few high-rise apartments. There is pay-by-phone street parking right outside, and it runs $3.50 an hour. The vibe is cool and a little eclectic, and I can see this place getting busy at night. The décor is welcoming with great artwork on the walls, the staff is over-the-top nice, and the menu is fantastic. We arrived around 2:00, it wasn't crowded, only one or two tables were taken, and a few people sitting at the bar, so we decided to grab two seats at the bar so we could watch tennis. The brunch menu looked amazing and had something for everyone. Even though we came specifically for brunch, we ended up ordering several things that weren't breakfast -- and, everything was incredible. The Bloody Marys are $12 during brunch, or $25 for endless. We ordered the $12 Bloody Mary, and I have to say it was probably the best Bloody Mary I've ever had! I have no idea what they put in it, but it was so good. We started with the lollipop lamb chops. they come 3 to an order, and they were absolutely fabulous. The seasoning and grilling were outstanding. I've honestly never had lamb chops this good. I really wanted a second order, but at $30, we decided to restrain ourselves. They are definitely worth the splurge! Then came the scallops -- four large sea scallops wrapped in bacon with a delicious glazed sauce. Excellent! We finished with a big piece of carrot cake, which was the perfect ending. My compliments to the chef -- every single thing we ordered was better than the one before it. The food, service and atmosphere were all fantastic. I highly recommend Laudy Bar & Craft Kitchen. This is definitely one of the best restaurants I've discovered in the Fort Lauderdale area, and I can't wait to bring my friends back. I've already been telling them that they need to try this place!

Street parking is available in front of the restaurant with Pay by Phone fees. We started with 2 cabernet sauvignons ($8 each during HH) and the meatball appetizer. The meatballs were delicious although the bread they came with was a little too toasted for my taste. We also ordered the truffle mac and cheese and added chicken. Wasn't worth the extra $6 to add chicken given the very small amount added. That being said, the dish was delicious! Tuesdays also include $2 mussels so we ordered a half dozen and they were good as well. Overall, would recommend!
