Reviews for S3 (Sun Surf Sand) in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Celebrated my birthday here, it?s one of my favorite restaurants! We have been here before and anything my husband and I have... ordered is amazing. The sushi is one of a kind and so fresh! We had the dragon and dynamite roll. Tried the roasted oysters forthe first time, incredible! Korean fried chicken was great, a little spicy for me but my husband enjoyed it! Of course we had toget dessert, chocolate mouse cake, what a way to end the night! Read more

We got the best table with live music on our side and ocean view. They sat us right away and service was on point. Grilled... octopus was just grilled to perfection and volcano sushi was topped with delicious crab meat. Overall a great experience. Read more

They were booked, so I recommend reservations. We were seated immediately outside on the patio, where there are more formal... tables than the beachfront casual seating. Our server Alejandro was phenomenal. I'm generally pretty quirky and playful withstaff, and he met me in my fun, which was a delight. He said tapas, and i heard topless, and the rest of the night was a blast.???? Even after we paid the bill, he continued to fill our water glasses, which in my opinion is beyond what's expected and wasdelightful. The presentation was perfection. The food quality was very fresh, well selected and unique options and flavors. Thedesserts we chose could use a little tweaking. The donuts were too doughy without enough flavor. We chose the goat cheesecroquettes, which were delicious and flavorful. The octopus, which was garnished with big beans and tomatoes and was veryrefreshing. The flavors were great. The octopus could have been more tender. We had the special sushi roll, which was full ofspice, including a sliver of jalapeño ... Fabulous. The Chilean Sea bass was super tender, perfectly cooked with a nice, subtleglaze, and came with a vegetable slaw that tasted like ceviche. Exquisite. The food was so delicious looking I ate it before Iremembered to take a photo! ???? Overall the experience was awesome. Next time will definitely use the valet parking and make areservation in advance! Parking - you can validate your valet parking at the hotel in the restaurant (current price $8). Read more

First time visiting this restaurant. I've been trying for weeks to get a reservation and they were always booked out. First,... the waitress Alex was great! The drinks were ok, not spectacular. But the small plates that I ordered were delicious. I hadthe goat cheese croquettes. So rich and savory, the flavors blend well together. I also had the grill octopus, which wasreallysoft. The sushi took a while to come and they were just average tasting which was kind of disappointing since thisrestaurant is known for the sushi. But overall great experience, would definitely go back.

The atmosphere was very nice. We went for Mother's day. It was well worth it. The beach is right across the street. Great view... of the water. Very open and airy. We had several dishes. One of which wasn't to my liking. When I alerted the waiter, he took itoff the bill without a problem. The music was nice and overall it was a great experience. I will definitely go back. I thinkmaybe nextime I'll go in the evening to see what the nightlife is all about. Read more

Food: 5/5, Service: 5/5, Atmosphere 5/5. This was my second time dining at S3. I had the pleasure of having Federico as my... waiter again. I arrived during the transition period and Federico explained to me that the kitchen was transitioning from thebrunch menu. My Date and I ordered the goat cheese croquettes, snapper, grilled octopus,Mac & cheese and 3 drinks. The food,drinks, and service was excellent. The presentation was 5 stars, The drinks were perfectly balanced. Federico was polite, mydrinks were never empty, my food was brought out as soon as it was ready. The S3 staff were polite as they provided us service.Iwill definitively visit S3 again. Read more

My significant other and I came here last week and had a great time! Our server was very friendly and the atmosphere was... vibrant. We had a wonderful view of the beach from where we were sitting and enjoyed a three course meal. Some of what we triedincludes the tomato bread, bao buns, braised short rib, and oak grilled fillet. We would definitely recommend this place toanyone looking for an upscale experience. Read more

Amazing! From the second we walked in ( with reservations) it was an amazing experience. Super friendly and helpful server. ... Food comes out quick and when it is ready. This is a legit sushi place, do not be fooled by the beachfront location. Everything we had was great... The rolls, steak, raw salmon, goat cheese, buratta. Cocktails were great and extensive winelist. And I think reasonale - 250 for 5. Read more
