Brian was our server, he was outstanding. He had good insights on selections and recommendations, very attentive. We ate supper on the deck, 64° little windy, pretty empty but for us northernes! Views were great while eating.
We had the spinach seafood dip and chips. Dinner was tuna steak and a mahi tacos.
No dessert we were stuffed. All around 5 star experience.

This place never disappoints! I always order the oysters because they taste incredibly fresh every single time. The fish and chips are consistently crispy and delicious, and my boyfriend always gets the shrimp pasta, it’s super creamy and full of flavor. All of their frozen drinks are amazing, but my favorites are the frozen mojito and the piña colada. Great food, great drinks, and always a great experience. Highly recommend!

OMG ! We literally just flew in to Ft. Lauderdale checked into Avid Hotel and heard the front desk lady mention Rendezvous and they had a shuttle that brings you there and back and a quick google search and we were calling! A quick ride over and we were there. Hostess was super nice and even checked the lady’s bathroom for me so I could wash my hands! It’s really nice outside so the outdoor seating was backed up a little and then we were seated right on the water. So close in fact I moved my phone to the inside of the table.
Mrs got the coconut shrimp with mashed potatoes, vegetables ( broccoli and carrots) and garlic ciabatta bread. First of all the shrimp were huge, the mashed potatoes tasted like what mom made vegetables were cooked perfectly and the bread to die for since it was crunchy and soft with a not too overpowering garlic flavor. And she started off with a pina colada because you know why not cuz it’s Florida 75 out and sitting dockside!
Not being as hungry as she was I ordered the 1/2 pound of peel n eat shrimp and it was the bomb and the cocktail sauce was hot and spicy just like i like it .
Brian our server was very nice and funny and great to talk to about the area.
We’re flying back out tomorrow however when we get back here this place is first on the list!

Sidney was such a great server! We were in a little rush and didn’t even have mention it because she was so attentive and the kitchen was so on top of it. The food was so amazing, highly recommend the chargrilled octopus and red grouper!

Great drinks and a really solid food experience overall.
We started with the cracked conch and calamari, and both were excellent. The seafood tasted very fresh, with a light, clean batter that stayed crisp without being greasy or heavy. The conch had a nice chew without being tough, and the calamari was tender, not rubbery at all. A squeeze of lemon brightened everything up, and a few hits of hot sauce took it to the next level. Simple, classic, and done right. I paired that with a mojito that was well balanced, not overly sweet, with good mint and lime flavor.
For entrées, I ordered the shrimp pasta and it really stood out. The homemade bucatini had a great bite and held the sauce well. The creamy white sauce leaned heavily into white wine, which I actually loved. It gave the dish a depth and slight acidity that kept it from feeling too rich. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, tender and flavorful, and worked really well with the pasta.
I also had the grilled shrimp tacos, which were solid and enjoyable. Nothing flashy, but no complaints at all. Where that plate really shined was the rice and beans. Easily one of the highlights of the meal. The beans were clearly slow cooked, soft, creamy, and full of flavor, and the rice was fluffy and perfectly cooked. One of those simple sides that tells you someone in the kitchen actually cares.
For dessert, we went with the carrot cake. It was mid tier. Not bad, not amazing. Very similar to a Publix carrot cake. Moist, pleasant, but nothing particularly memorable or unique.
The music selection was great, with classics like Bob Marley, Steve Miller Band, Billy Joel, and similar artists setting a relaxed tone. The lighting and waterfront ambience made the whole space feel chill and inviting. Prices were fair and reasonable for the location.
I’d definitely come back and try something else on the menu. I can see why our friends brought us here. It’s clearly a place that’s stood the test of time thanks to good service, a well cared for menu, and consistently good vibes.
The only reason I can’t give it a full five stars is because while it was great, it’s more Florida worthy than plan a whole trip just to eat here worthy.
P.S. No don’t take the plate yet! There’s still calamari in there

Went to dinner here. Beer was late coming out(had to tap a keg). Didn’t taste quite right, maybe line wasn’t clean? Kitchen was late on a pasta dish and even later on that persons bread. Rest of us were eating. Food was excellent.

I was staying near the hotel up the street and they didn’t have the lunch open. I came down here not knowing what to expect. When you walk in you’ll be greeted by the host. If your going to sit down or want to go to the bar area to get food to go. The view is absolutely amazing if you sit outside. The bar is clean and you can see the drinks are clean. The service is spectacular. The food is delicious. I ended up getting the salmon and I would order it again. My recommendation would be high. Payment here will be cash or credit card.

We arrived by boat, on Dec. 23rd and had the most wonderful family dinner at Rendevous. Our group consisted of 15 adults with various food preference but the menu had something delicious for everyone! We enjoyed exceptional stone crab, distinctive cocktails, impressive specials, in addition to hearty salads, pasta dishes, ribs, fish, and all the florida favorites you can think of! Our server was very attentive and personable and our meals all came out hot & prompt. We could not pass on the decadent cheesecake, red velvet & banana cream desserts! The dockside restaurant has such a warm and friendly, true Florida vibe, day or night- you can’t beat being waterside. There is nothing better than when the owner of the restaurant himself comes over to let you know they appreciate the chance to make your dining experience fabulous! My 90 year old Dad says to give Rendevous 5 stars all the way!

Had lunch here before catching our flight. Waited about 20 minutes to sit outside, but got a table dockside. I had the French dip with fresh veggies. It had no flavor. Veggies were undercooked. Hubby had seared tuna salad. He enjoyed it. With two iced teas, the bill was $50.
Relaxing spot overlooking the marina, but likely won’t return.
