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.

    Trendy restaurant with great steak options. Tuba tartare was excellent. Monkey bread was tasty. Vodka pasta was just okay. Margherita pizza was not great. Drinks were good though I was disappointed they do not honor the happy hour prices if you are seated at a table and not the bar. Overpriced for the quality but okay if you have the money to spare

    We were seated immediately and the food was unbelievable. YOLO isn’t that close to my house but I’m making it a point to go back. So good.

    We had a wonderful dining experience at YOLO . The staff was incredibly attentive and professional, making sure we felt welcome and well taken care of throughout our meal. Gabby, our waitress, was exceptional—friendly, knowledgeable, and truly went above and beyond to make our time there enjoyable. The entire team demonstrated impressive courtesy and professionalism, which really enhanced our experience. I highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning!

    Christmas Eve with loud club music, plus seating next to the kitchen, plus along the path to the bathroom. All of which would have been forgivable with fantastic food, but it was average. As one of my guests said, people seemed more interested in photographing their food rather than how it tasted.

    * The place was busy, and everybody was in good spirits. Perhaps enhanced by the holidays. * Cocktails were nicely executed, although a bit overpriced. * Appetizers were mediocre (calamari seemed frozen, monkeybread was whatever, fried shrimps were so-so, and smoked octopus was good. * Rib-eye was all fat. *The Tomahawk as expected, was nothing great but an overpriced Show. * The "free" donuts are a tacky marketing gimmick. * Coconut creme brulee was amazing. The waiter was great (Horacio I think was his name)
