Guidebook - Fort Lauderdale waterfront getaway
Food scene
There are several great restaurants within a few steps from your stay such as:
The Capital Grille: Fine dining seafood and steakhouse, renowned for dry aged steaks, fresh seafood and world class wines. Adjacent to The Galleria just steps away.
PF Chang's: Offers a wide variety of tasty Asian cuisine at reasonable prices, also in The Galleria.

Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant: Private elevator within the Galleria Mall, great savory variety of food and homegrown wine.
Lasso Gaucho Brazilian Steakhouse: Great quality meats, an excellent variety of salads, and impeccable service.
Also, you'll be able to choose from a wide variety of restaurants by taking the water taxi right from the back, by walk, or with a quick Uber drive. All listed below in no particular order, here are some of the local favorites:
If you want a bit of a different experience for lunch or supper, with very fresh seafood, or cocktails on the water, I suggest you take the water taxi right at the back and get off at stop #3 at 15th street Fisheries. Waterway views right on the marina, you can enjoy both casual dining and drinks or more upscale dining upstairs. You can even feed the tarpon swimming in the marina.

Cách đi lại
Water Taxi for a scenic way to go places. Uber also quick
Since you'll be at Stop #7 with the water taxi, it gives you the privilege to not just use it for a scenic relaxing ride but also to go places, whenever you feel like it, within its schedule.
For example you can go to the downtown of Fort Lauderdale (Las Olas) and enjoy shopping, art galleries and a variety of restaurants. There are so many restaurants to choose from where you get off the Las Olas stop (#1) , like the famous Cheesecake Factory or if you feel like grabbing a bite or cocktail with amazing waterfront views such as ''The Boathouse at the Riverside'' at reasonable prices.

The Water Taxi
The Captains and Crew are well versed on the city and the many attractions that can be viewed from the water. It's a narrated excursion that includes historical information as well as fun and interesting information about the many Mansions and Mega Yachts that line the waterways.
There is also so much to do off the boat. I suggest you go to the captain's picks at the following URL to see some great suggestions: https://watertaxi.com/captains-picks/
