Blue Wave on the North Broadwalk is an absolute gem! The Key Lime Martini is hands down the best ever — perfectly balanced, refreshing, and dangerously delicious. Pair that with an ice-cold beer and you’re in vacation heaven.
And let’s talk about the empanadas… SO yummy! Crispy, flavorful, and the perfect bite while enjoying the ocean breeze and laid-back beach vibes.
Great drinks, delicious food, and the perfect Broadwalk atmosphere — Blue Wave is a must every time we’re here!

We ate here a total of probably 10 times and I am never disappointed!! In fact this past weekend on a 6-day trip we ate there three times so that should say a lot!! The portions are great you can share an entree get a couple amazing empanadas or a couple of the amazing sausages off the appetizer menu and it’s good for two people! The entraňa, the vasio, the chicken melanesa and even the house salad is huge!! Monday through Friday happy hour is 50% off drinks like all day ( just got to get some Quilmes back in stock ). On top of that our server Mateo, great young man really does excellent work and gives excellent customer service! If you’re in Hollywood on the boardwalk this is the place to eat!

Hostess would not let us sit at a table we preferred even though 90% of the tables were empty.
Then the food came. The shrimp was spongy and swimming in butter sauce. The snapper had the texture of rubber and a taste to match.
For a restaurant serving fish on the beach, it was a horrible experience. Then we paid close to $100 for it all. Very gross. I would not recommend this place to anyone

Empanadas are made in house, all food fresh is fresh and delicious with great portions. We had the breakfast steak sandwich and sweetbreads yum yum JC at the bar is awesome!!

We visit Blue Wave whenever we get to Florida. The provoleta (grilled cheese) is decadent. We had the Surf & Turf this time and it was fantastic. Any type of steak or seafood, you’ll find it here. And it’s right on the broadwalk so you can see the beach and ocean as you eat. What could be better?

This is the best food that we have had on our trip so far and we’ve been here for several days. The crab legs were absolutely delicious and seasoned perfectly. The drinks were amazing. He made me a painkiller…and then I had another. View is beautiful. Worth every single cent.

If you’re looking for the perfect spot on Hollywood Beach, Blue Wave Gastro Bar & Grill is an absolute gem. ✨
From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with a laid-back coastal vibe that feels both upscale and inviting. The atmosphere captures everything you love about being by the ocean — breezy, vibrant, and effortlessly beautiful. Whether you’re there for a sunset dinner or late-night cocktails, the ambiance is always on point.
The food is where Blue Wave truly shines. Every dish tastes fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. The seafood is incredibly fresh (as it should be on the beach!), and the presentation makes everything feel elevated without being pretentious. Their cocktails are just as impressive — perfectly balanced and beautifully crafted.
What really sets this place apart is the service. The staff is attentive, friendly, and genuinely makes you feel taken care of. You can tell they care about the experience, not just the meal.
Blue Wave Gastro Bar & Grill is the kind of place you visit once… and immediately plan your next trip back. A true Hollywood Beach favorite.

Food was a bit pricey for the quality, in my group’s opinion. $50 for 1.5 lbs of snow crab legs, for example. Drinks were amazing, servers, all the staff was spectacular! Location is amazing, great music, the food just lacked for our group, based on discussion.
