"Of all the restaurants on this guide, Burlock Coast’s patio has the best view of the ocean. But this place is also a well-run hotel restaurant. The staff are enthusiastic, the food is consistent, and you could almost reach out and grab a fistful of sand from the beach. The menu leans towards seafood, so start with oysters and a salad, then go for the seared catch of the day. There’s nothing groundbreaking going on here, but it’s a good bet for wooing clients or clinking martinis with a visiting aunt from a landlocked state." - ryan pfeffer
"The superpower of so many of Fort Lauderdale’s beachfront restaurants is the view. Burlock Coast is no different. You're coming here to sit on the patio and watch the ocean twinkle. But this place is also a well-run hotel restaurant. The staff are enthusiastic, the food is consistent, and you could almost reach out and grab a fistful of sand from the beach. The menu leans towards seafood, so start with oysters and a salad, then go for the seared catch of the day. There’s nothing groundbreaking going on here, but it’s a good bet for wooing clients or clinking martinis with a visiting aunt from a landlocked state." - Ryan Pfeffer
"Nestled on the ground level of The Ritz Carlton – Fort Lauderdale with sweeping ocean vistas, Burlock Coast will be open on Christmas Eve and Day from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Its Christmas Eve special is a massive Ultimate Raw Bar Tower, loaded with oysters, lobster, shrimp, and more. On Christmas Day, there will be a chef Adrienne Grenier-curated, three-course, prix-fixe menu starting at $89 per person."
"When I’m craving seafood I go to Burlock Coast Seafare & Spirits at the Ritz-Carlton Fort Lauderdale for a fresh, local catch of the day; executive chef Paula DaSilva also runs a recurring “celebrity chef” series that brings dishes inspired by her culinary mentors." - Laine Doss
"We all deserve an ocean view for lunch. Tucked on the ground floor of the Ritz-Carlton Fort Lauderdale, Burlock Coast’s three-course lunch special is a winner with a farmer's salad to start, its staple super-crispy BC fish and chips, and a key lime bar with mojito gel among the options. The $45 menu is available Sunday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Burlock Coast also has a $75 per person dinner menu Sunday through Friday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m." - Jesse Scott
