S3 (Sun Surf Sand)

Had a really great experience for our first time at S3 on Valentine’s Day. Our waiter Joshua A. was really attentive to us and made it a wonderful experience. He was attentive, prompt and easy to talk to. We absolutely loved the food, the goat cheese croquettes and grilled octopus were our favorite. Yummy drinks, the Moscow mule and the "Sand". We ordered 2 apps, a sushi roll, a fried rice bowl, and the branzino. Everything came out in a perfect order for us to enjoy each dish. Even some managers brought out of dish, showing they are proactive in helping their staff, which means a lot as a former hospitality worker, it hits different. Def recommend going especially for a date night. Nice view on Fort Lauderdale beach sitting outside. Even if it gets a little chilly they have heaters. Someone even came by and took a pic of us with a Polaroid. Over all a really nice experience. (Also we were super late for a reservation because of a street festival and traffic and they were very accommodating and still sat us right away!) We will be back 🙂

We've been to a lot of fusion sushi restaurants and S3 truly impressed us!! Loved the casual-chic atmosphere, great service from Terry, and amazing dishes!! The Omakase Nigiri Box was a standout. From the way it was presented to the freshness of the fishes to the combination of flavors that the Michelin-star sushi chef created...it was pure artistry...absolutely delicious! We also had their Neo Tokyo signature roll which was probably the most creative and best roll we ever had. We highly recommend this restaurant. Rivals the sushi we had in Hawaii and Tokyo!

Love all the dishes we ordered at S3, all executed with precision and carefully plated, yet full of flavor . The cocktails 🍹 🍸 were perfectly crafted and by far the best we have had of all the restaurants we’ve visited here in Fort Lauderdale. Service is on point, thank you Cameron, and outdoor frontview of the beach is just breathtaking. We will definitely make a second visit before going back home to California. And yet, we made our second visit and we couldn’t be happier!!! We were served by Joshua and the dream team. We love the nigiri 🍣 cocktails 🍸 were perfect and consistent. Thank you for the amazing experience and hospitality. We will tell all our friends and family to visit!!!

Let me start by saying this. It is a pricey place and there is nothing I hate more than paying for over priced food that is not that great and being disappointed. BUT It was completely worth it and I'd do it again. We were given a promotional card for a BOGO drink and so we stopped by here just to grab a drink. As we stood there with our drinks, we were watching the food come out to the tables and bar area. We couldn't help ourselves, we weren't even that hungry but based on appearance we figured we better try something. The atmosphere of sitting in the fresh air and slight ocean breeze, while looking out to the beach was amazing. We ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp to start then split the S3 sushi roll. Oh my goodness. The shrimp was cooked to perfection and the layers of flavor created with the coating on the shrimp then drizzled with some amazing goodness. Now for the Sushi roll. Where we are from there are only a few places for sushi, but this S3 sushi roll has just ruined those places for me. The amount of flavor packed into every little light and tender bite is incredible. The black garlic semi sauce then some how amazingly elevated it even more. SO If you are one like me to look at prices of the menu to determine whether you will try it or not... DON'T. DON'T EVEN LOOK, JUST GO!!

The good: The location is across from the beach, it creates a wonderful date atmosphere. The bad: The food was ok, not completely bland but it lacked flavor. The drinks were good but lacked enough alcohol...could have ordered a lemonade if I wanted a fruit drink. It was also difficult to find parking. The review. Good service, mid food and drinks but great atmosphere.

I went there with a group of coworkers to celebrate the end of the year, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The drinks were amazing, the food was exquisite, and the service was outstanding. Add in the beautiful ocean view, and it was the perfect setting. We will definitely be back.

We held a happy hour and meeting here for a group of 40, and the space worked out perfectly. Even though it was uncharacteristically chilly for Florida, the fireplaces and heaters kept the atmosphere comfortable and warm. The food was good, and the service was excellent, they handled our large group without missing a beat. The only real downside for me was the beer selection; it’s pretty lame compared to the quality of everything else. If they improved their tap list, this place would be top-tier.
