Visiting Ft. Lauderdale
 

Im vacationing in Ft. Lauderdale on the beach. Any one know of any performance boat dealers or anywhere to see some nice boats. Granted there are as many yachts here as cars, I'd like to see some performance boats. Also, any dinner reccomendations? Thanks

Dinner-

Seafood- Trulucks at Galleria Mall On Sunrise
Italian- SoLita on Las Olas
Steak- Steak 954 at The W Hotel on the Beach

Also on las olas try Yolo for the "sights" :evilb:

TAPS 42 on andrews. great scenery

Walk up and down Los Olas blvd,,,there are a few go fasts here and there. The aqua toy store is in the area also. If you feel like doing a little driving, go visit LipShip and Cigarette Racing....
Also, do the ft lauderdale water taxi. You can see alot :)
As of food, go to Shooters...nice place!

As far as looking at some performance boats you could go see the guys at FastBoats in Pompano Beach about 4 miles north of Lauderdale on Federal Highway.
You could also go see Mindy @ Dollar Offshore in Hollywood, Active Thunder Boats also in Pompano, both real close also.

Best Regards,

Blue Martini off Sunrise and Bravo off 17street , two of my favorite places in Ft Lauderdale.

And depending if you are ready for a wild night or what your style is, Cash Bar can recommend a great place called American Backyard. :D

Steak ? Try Ruth's Chris on Federal Highway.

Lots of restaurants and bars on Las Olas Blvd, my favorite restaurant in that area is Johnny V and best bar is Yolo.

Yes.
Sometimes.
No.
No.
Call 1st.
Yes.
NO f'N WAY....

Breakfast At the Pelican Grand Hotel, Sit right out on the patio over looking the beach.

Want a sweet meat Ball, good italian, and a one of a kind dining/club experience, Martoranos, The meatball appetizer is $10, the rest gets expensive, go after dark. http://www.cafemartorano.com/ ,

Want to feel like your about to get wacked during a sitdown at an italian Joint, Anthonys Runway 84. cool old school place.

15th street Fisheries is a good place to have a few beers, and a casual type dinner, all the while watching the boats go by, and the patrons feeding huge tarpon while you eat.

Grille 66 at the Pier 66 Hyatt hotel and marina is fantastic, yet a bit high end. You cant go wrong with anything on the menu. but order the lump crab meat appetizer.

Chart House or Shooters right next door are pretty good places to have some lunch and see the intercoastal view, its best on the weekends, Sunday after 3pm Bootleggers is fun, not near as fun as it used to be, but its ok.

Water Taxi is a great inexpensive way to see Lauderdale by water, and where the water taxi ride ends, the Jungle Queen picks up, so both can compliment each other.

The other guys also mentioned some great places as well, Yolos , and a trip up and down las olas is a must, theres the galleria on sunrise blvd, home to Blue Martini, Pf Changs, Trulucks, Capital Grill, and Seasons 52.

Finding Go fast Boats around is usualy luck of the draw, Fast Boats.com has a few in the show room, TNT Marine in north miami might be a good place as well.


National Marine Liquidators might be a place to look at a go fast boat or two, as well as spending a day looking at all kinds of boats, just becareful about making a bid on one, alot of times that part is not too smooth.
