Best Restaurants Open for Newyears Eve this year in Hollywood – 2024

Absolutely perfect meal! Gorgeous sunset terrace over the water. The wait staff monitored the sun and rain to lower the blinds as needed. Super friendly and helpful Julia made the meal a pleasure. We started with the cauliflower appetizer. Yum!!! My husband was literally sopping up the sauce with the house made warm rolls. I had the Moroccan eggplant- divine! Others at our table enjoyed the Chilean Sea Bass, Salmon, Grouper. All innovative preparations, perfect portions. Just great! Oh, and don't forget the key lime pie - best one I've ever had!

I must say, I was very impressed with the overall experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The customer service was exceptional, with the staff being attentive and friendly throughout the entire meal. The food was absolutely delicious. The appetizers were a highlight for me, with the calamari being a standout dish that I would highly recommend to anyone. My family and I never felt rushed which added to the overall enjoyment of the meal. Overall, my experience at this restaurant was nothing short of amazing. I will definitely be returning in the future and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience.

We recently hosted our corporate Holiday Party in the private room at GG's Waterfront, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish! The space is absolutely remarkable—beautifully decorated with stunning views of the intracoastal waterways, providing the perfect ambiance for our event. The team, led by Special Events Coordinator Justine, was outstanding. From booking to the event's conclusion, they were attentive, professional, and accommodating, addressing all our needs and concerns seamlessly. The food was another highlight—delicious, upscale, and surprisingly affordable for the quality. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the entire experience. Thank you, GG's Waterfront, for making our event truly unforgettable! Highly recommend for any special occasion. ~On Behalf of Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (Volunteers Holiday Luncheon)

First time having stone crabs and they were awesome! So tender and sweet, better than their king crab cousins imo. The service was great, and i was really impressed by display cart they broguht to help ordering. Beautiful location by the water. Overall a just lovely experience.

My first time at Billy’s Stone Crab in Hollywood, FL, and it was unforgettable! Invited by my niece and her family, we sat outside near the water, which was amazing. The food? Just incredible! We were lucky enough to enjoy the first batches of stone crab, and every bite was perfection. Visiting from Celina, Texas, where brisket and barbecue are the staples, it was such a treat to experience seafood at this level. The Chilean Seabass was out of this world, and the mac n’ cheese was “delicioso” in my young nephew’s words! It’s definitely a place I’ll be returning to for birthdays and special celebrations. The staff was on point, anticipating every need before we even had to ask. Amazing food, beautiful setting, and fantastic service—it made for an awesome experience!

We had Mew York Strip Steak with blue cheese crust that was amazing! The delectable Key West Shrimp and the scallops topping the steak was on point. The asparagus with hollaindaise sauce was scrumptious and the key lime pie they adorned us with for our anniversary dessert was such a special surprise. The staff was courteous and amazing, full of knowledge about their menu. We will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful experience with Edwin as our server – his customer service was outstanding. He had a great sense of timing, checking on us just when we needed him. The food was incredible! We ordered the seafood platter, which was fresh, flavorful, and unlike any other we’ve tried. The wings were perfectly sauced, not too heavy, just right. My husband enjoyed a whiskey sour made with Jack Daniels, and it was excellent. The restaurant is very family-friendly with an amazing ambiance. When we’re back in town, we’ll definitely be visiting again!”

I was drawn to the restaurant by their great lunch deal—50% off on burgers and pizzas! The decor inside was adorable, and the air smelled amazing, like high-quality meat, which got me really excited to try the food. Though it took about 30 minutes for our meal to arrive (despite us being the only ones ordering), it wasn’t a big deal since we were enjoying the relaxed atmosphere and the Latin music in the background. Our waiter, Edwin, was super friendly and attentive. He had a welcoming presence, which made the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back—the burger tasted fantastic, and I’m a big fan of the crispy fries they serve! My friend had the Hawaiian pizza, and while they enjoyed it, we were a bit surprised by the large slices of ham just placed on top. It was still tasty, but cutting the ham up a bit would have been ideal.

We had an incredible lunch at Why Not Restaurant! The food was fresh, flavorful, and exceeded our expectations. Edwin provided outstanding service—he was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect for us. It’s not every day you find such a fantastic combination of delicious food and amazing hospitality. We’ll definitely be returning soon!

This is such a cute spot! It’s right on the water and there is dock space so you can arrive by boat if you have one. The drinks and food are great. We were a party of 8 and our server was Bibi; she was very nice and friendly. Bibi was always smiling and thoroughly answered our questions. We loved all the food and found the portions to be quite generous. Our favorite was the Tiki Tiki Popcorn, but everything was delicious!

Grateful for the Manager Aileen!!! She saved us! We were setting up a Homecoming proposal at the beach while our kids ate this restaurant. It began to rain with strong winds. We took a chance and asked if the restaurant would allow us to set up there. We didn’t expect the warm reception we received. Aileen made it happen! Success The patrons and staff were super kind as well. My friends and family will definitely be back. I’ll speak on behalf of the Teens and tell you they loved the food as well.

This place is seriously so beautiful. Right on the water. Food and drinks were amazing and everyone was very kind. We had a long wait for our flight home and they didn't bat an eye at our suitcase and offered us a safe spot to leave it while we were there.

This was an amazing experience! This pasta was other worldly :) Prices were decent for the amount and quality of the food you were getting. Servers were really nice. Rooftop atmosphere was the icing on the cake. Would love to visit again when back in FL

Very good Italian cuisine, simple but effective. Very friendly staff, attentive to the customer. Piano bar atmosphere with a saxophonist playing between the tables.

So soo good. The pistacho dessert was amazing. The salmon Carpaccio was out of this world. The server was lovely and very patient. The pasta was chef’s kiss. And appetizer of the tuna tartare with mango is highly recommended. Will be back soon!!

Always good, simple menu but it checks all the boxes. Food is executed well, have never had a bad bite here. Service is meh.. nothing to write home about but the job gets done. Awesome beer and liquor selection, laid back vibe, and the walkable Downtown Hollywood area makes this place a solid destination. Shrimp tacos are off the charts, don't miss!

Pleasantly surprised by the quality of food. We met some friends here for drinks on Friday night. The food selection was very substantial and had a lot of options for everyone in our group’s dietary needs. We also had 3 Children in our group that were very content with the Pizza and Mac & Cheese options. The signature Pork Tostones were out of this world! We also had the Shrimp/Crab Artichoke dip it was simply Delicious. We decided to share our entree of Tipsy Pasta. By far the best we have had. We will return to this great spot for dinner. Specially if entertaining family from out of town we know Tipsy Boar will not disappoint!

Large craft beer selection and gourmet comfort food at a fair price. I had the delicious tipsy boar burger with fries ($17) and the chocolate hazelnut Stout. Good selection of rock background music. Over 30 crowd. Many TVs with sports on but the bar does not have a sports bar vibe, it's more of a sophisticated pub feel. Nice outdoor seating. Attentive service.

Definitely a 3.5 [not 3]. If you're looking for a chill spot by the water, this is a good try. It's low-key, rustic, good price-point, and the staff is attentive. Temperature and texture of the meals were great - the ribs? Amazingly tender. But the flavor - though great - was more on-the-surface as opposed to to-the-bone. In 2006, GQ dubbed their 13oz patty as The World's Best Burger... I had a bite, and all I'll say is some time has passed. Not to say it was bad, just not the best. Overall, I'd go back to try other items too.

Hands down the best burger!! Jay, our server, was very attentive and served with a smile. My initial order of fries was overcooked. However, he quickly made it right with a new batch. The watermelon mint mojito was a little on the weak side but had a nice flavor. The setting was perfect for the area. We didn't sit by the water, but it was still visible. Thank goodness for the indoor fans, Florida heat is no joke. Overall, it was a great visit.

It was our first time here and our waiter, Josh, made it an awesome experience. The food was great (nice sized portions), and the view off the water was breath taking. We have passed by here so many times but never tried here until yesterday when our “go to” spot was closed for renovations. This may be the new “go to” spot now, lol. Everything happens for a reason.

Seafood was absolutely delicious – truly fresh and high-quality, and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is fantastic, with the restaurant located right on the oceanfront. The fresh air and sound of the waves add so much to the experience. The service was excellent; our waitress checked on us frequently and made sure we had everything we needed. We’d be delighted to come back to this restaurant again for lunch or dinner.

This was our first stop after arriving in Hollywood. We came hungry and thirsty and were not disappointed. Our server was spectacular - I wish I caught her name. We got the conch fritters to start and they were delicious. The pico and pepper topping made it a really bright and fresh bite to eat. I had the grilled grouper entree and it was absolutely perfect. The 2-for-1 drink specials rounded the whole experience out. Thank you for starting our trip off on a high note!

I have a friend that lives in this area and my wife and I always make a point to go visit this place. Good food, fantastic atmosphere, and amazing service. The location is perfect. Great place to get a drink and grab a bite while people watching. Go see Orlando and Mel behind the bar. Great people and that is the key to a successful business.

Good service. Its location next to the pool and the sea makes it a perfect place for special dinners. During the week it seems to be very quiet and at least in my case the kitchen does not give its best, but I will definitely return as they have very tasty dishes. My favorite: “Lobster Ravioli”. One thing I don't like at all is that the tip is already included in the bill, 20%, and honestly I don't think that's right. I think it should be my decision depending on the service they give me.

I went here for breakfast/brunch and we sat inside. The waffle was light, fluffy and filling. The fruit was fresh. I enjoyed the eggs and potatoes too. The view from the pool deck after was great but the wind was very high that day. I'd definitely recommend this spot and revisit.

I had an amazing brunch at Terrazzas at Lyfe with 4 of my best friends! The food selection was top-notch!!! We loved the salad bar, seafood station, omelette station, and the delicious fruit and dessert bar. I had a refreshing mojito, a seafood omelette, and a hearty side of salmon and it was fantastic. David was our server and he had a great personality… we even got a selfie! The service was attentive and friendly, making the experience even better. The only downside was the location itself—it’s a bit tight and not very spacious, and the valet parking was mandatory and quite busy. But overall, it was a wonderful brunch, and I can’t wait to come back! I highly recommend for a great meal with friends!!!

The atmosphere is really nice. The food is amazing. It's really good. Food Comes out hot and juicy. The meat was really well. Lamb Chops was delicious. Jasmine is great hostess. She is very friendly. She enjoyed giving us our food and had a really nice conversations. Even the chef came out and we thanked him for the meal. I will definitely come again..

Atmosphere was awesome. Food was splendid. Service was wonderful! Camilo made our dinner one to remember. A little advice, get the non-alcoholic limeade and ask for a shot of Tequila or Vodka in it . :)

Great service! The staff was very friendly. Camilo was amazing and so welcoming. Food was sizeable and satisfying. I will definitely be returning in the near future.

Exquisite Peruvian food! Perfect flavors and super consistent year after year! Angelica is always awesome. She'll make sure you get out of there happy and satisfied!!

I recently visited ‘7 Tables’ and my experience was nothing short of exceptional. Initially, I was hesitant because the menu seemed to have limited vegetarian options. However, instead of turning me away, the staff went above and beyond to accommodate my dietary preferences. They took the time to give a special vegetarian dish for me, and it turned out to be absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The ambiance of the restaurant is stunning, with a perfect view of the ocean that makes dining here feel like a true escape. The staff was attentive, friendly, and clearly passionate about ensuring each guest has a memorable experience. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality of food, personalized service, and the overall atmosphere make it absolutely worth every penny. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this to anyone looking for a unique and satisfying dining experience by the beach.

Great Margaritas- best on the boardwalk! Santiago, the owner is fantastic, Angelica my server was amazing and friendly, the bartender is awesome and sweet The food is phenomenal. We had the ceviche Jewish shrimp and fis and it did not disappoint. The lomo salads was tender and tasty . They serve traditional Peruvian food over looking the ocean, We were a little hesitant t to walk in since its being renovated, so glad we did this will be our new hang out! I highly recommend this gem on the boardwalk!

The food at this restaurant is outstanding and so is the service and ambiance! The seafood risotto was awesome (6* for the chef) and so were the tripe soup, the beef soup, and the Romanian dish called "mititei". Ionela and Mihai were extremely nice and made our evening special. Definitely, we are coming back to have dinner or lunch at this place!

Wow wow wow. Catherine our waitress and bartender was phenomenal. She prepared our drinks, a red sangria and a smoked old fashion that were to die for. We ordered the beef carpaccio and my husband and I shared the lasagna, both were great. Unfortunately, we forgot to take a picture of the lasagna. The dessert was a papanoli and it was delicious. We had a great time here. We were watching a reality show finale while we were eating .

Big fan of VILA ROMANA The best and only Romanian restaurant in South Florida The renovations are amazing and Tye and Lara make sure everything is always perfect. The food is excellent and the service is on point. Karaoke night is fun and live music quality. The cocktails are delicious.If you have not been to the VILA ROMANA get over there NOW it will be the best meal you have had all year!!
