Operated by a philosophy that it derives its name from, YOLO and neighboring O Lounge are vibrant, much-loved staples in the South Florida culinary and nightlife scene. The swanky Fort Lauderdale restaurant and adjacent lounge serves thoughtfully prepared contemporary American cuisine in a sophisticated, bustling atmosphere that includes a bar and dining room with open kitchen, and an outdoor patio, and features inventive cocktails and an extensive wine list to complement the menu. The longtime Las Olas hotspot serves up lunch and dinner daily, and is legendary for its happy hour and Brunch on Saturday & Sunday.

    Service was so disgustingly horrible that it overshadowed the entire experience. Our waiter did not complete our order, nor did he feel it necessary to stop by and see how things were going. We would have gotten up to leave it was so bad … but couldn’t get the attention of the inept waiter to bring our check. Never again yolo.

    The only reason I did not give a higher rating on food is basically because the menu description was so off! I thought I was ordering a somewhat healthy option by ordering swordfish and was unpleasantly surprised to see that it was not only fried but was swimming in oil. Very disappointing Ambience was very nice though and the octopus small plate was delicious
