Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Lighthouse Point

Dune continues to provide an outstanding dining experience and remains my favorite high end restaurant in Ft Lauderdale. It is elegant in its contemporary design. The service is exceptional—gracious, unobtrusive, informative, friendly. The food is fitting for “foodies” yet robust enough for a broad range of tastes. Dune is wonderful for special celebrations or holidays like Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day especially when they have musicians like a harpist or saxophonist and singers who add to the ambience. I highly recommend Dune.

We were first timer really wasn’t expecting that much of a great view. Everything was perfect to spend our Valentine’s Day with the rooftop outside experience. Will definitely go back for the outside dining.

Being next to an airport and planes flying by all evening and sitting outside was difficult (although not the restaurant’s fault).

YOLO has always been recommended to me ever since I moved down to FLL this past August, so I was very excited to experience it for the first time. It did not disappoint!! The atmosphere, the service, the communication amongst the servers and management, the food quality, and creative menu made point for a wonderful dining experience. They had a DJ out on the front patio area, but it did not overwhelm the indoor dining area, so I could actually hear my colleague's voice. I will recommend this restaurant to all my clients and colleagues who are in town visiting!

This restaurant is always solid. Consistently great food, excellent service and nice ambiance. It’s our go to for special occasions.
