Marina Village Fort Lauderdale Beach — Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale

A lot of thoughtful energy went into creating and designing a destined-to-be iconic Ft. Lauderdale dining experience that will make you feel like you have gone on vacation without the hassle of paying the pet sitter or packing your bags. My husband and I have already been twice and each experience has been uniquely perfect. The first night was at the chill, soft opening with close friends, cold beer, sliders, and shakes while watching the picture-perfect sunset. (The sliders are mouth-wateringly delicious!) This past Saturday was an impromptu post-Gala party enjoyed on the upper deck of the Shorely after much-needed tacos and sliders enjoyed at Marina Village. The tuna tacos, steak quesadillas, and Taco Platter (30 tacos for our large crew) were fantastic. Even though we showed up with a large group Landon, the creative and extremely personable Director of Night Life, Day Life, & Fun, went above and beyond to ensure each member of our group had an impeccable experience. Everyone in our crew left with vows to return soon. The staff goes out of their way to ensure everyone has a good time and experiences all the Villages and the Shorely have to offer. The whole experience is just what Ft Lauderdale needs with a lot of great options for food, relaxation, and incredible views. It's a can't-miss night out with clients, friends, colleagues, or...

This was my second time visiting The Marina Village, and yes, I got rained on both times 😅. Just a heads-up: there aren’t a lot of umbrella-covered spots, so when the skies opened up, we had to make a run for it over to the yacht area called The Shorely. Thankfully, we had already eaten, since they don’t allow food on the yacht, just drinks (which were refreshing and really hit the spot 🍹).

Even with the rain, the vibes were still on point. It was a Friday night and pretty lively, but not uncomfortably crowded. The music was at a nice moderate level too, you could actually hold a conversation without yelling, which I loved. The whole ambiance felt romantic and laid-back, with friendly staff who brought us our drinks right to us.

There’s also a great variety of food huts to choose from. This time, I grabbed chicken tacos from Taco Vibez, and they were delicious. On my first visit, I tried the burger joint. The burger was a little salty for me, but the fries were amazing. I plan on trying a new spot each time I go!

Bonus points!: the beach is right there. We actually walked along it before heading over, and it was the perfect start to...

Another new exciting venue by Knallhart Group!! The Shorely in the heart of beautiful Marina Village! Climb aboard their stationary yacht for a variety of walk-up food choices, creative drinks, great music, comfortable seating for socializing, bottle service and even dancing!! Located at Bahia Mar on Fort Lauderdale beach with stunning views all around of the ocean and amazing boats/yachts! I had the pleasure of attending the soft opening and again the hardest working group is killin it with their best craft cocktail menu yet and the prices are just as pleasant!! Excellent bar staff, they seem to have very well trained bartenders in the art of making the wide variety of drinks very quickly. They certainly know their stuff! As I mention in every Knallhart Group destination is the very professional beverage director, Tamara who is the creator of their outstanding cocktail menu with something for everyone!! A must see venue,I definitely will...
