Lucky Fish

Lucky Fish in Dania has everything going for it—amazing views, great food, and drinks that hit the spot. It’s the kind of place you want to spend hours at, just soaking it all in. The only downside was the service; our server kept asking if we needed a box every 15 minutes, even though we clearly weren’t done and had plans for two more rounds of beer. We hadn’t even finished our drinks when the check arrived. It’s such a great place to enjoy yourself—if they let you! 😂 Unfortunately, we ended up leaving early.

Had lunch today at the newly opened Lucky Fish in Dania Beach, right across from the Atlantic Ocean. The restaurant is beautiful—clean, with a fantastic ocean view. The service was excellent, very friendly and welcoming. Unlike some of the nearby spots that overcharge just for the view, Lucky Fish offers fair prices without compromising on quality. Definitely a great new addition to the area! Will be back for sure.

This reasutaurant is beautiful. The view of the ocean is heavenly, it's almost like your on a cruise ship. The servers are nice, and the atmosphere is beautiful. The food is also very delicious, I got Lucky's breakfast scramble which come with eggs, bacon, potatoes and bread. All the food is very good, but the potatoes are on a WHOLE other level. They are served with jalapeños (I think I'm not a pepper expert) and are also cooked to perfection. The fresh OJ was amazing too, it's served with a little orange on the side of the cup that was also better than a regular orange. All in all I love this place, definitely coming back.

Incredible establishment replacing the iconic Dania Beach Bar Grill and Music. Incredible views and vibes from an Eastern winds that will melt all your cares away. Step into this portal, and your own paradise awaits as you dine with friends and family or those looking to make the move to sunny SoFlo 🌺. Fresh food, music, easy menu to read and plenty of places to sit and enjoy your meal. I will be coming back for more menu items and memories to look back on!

Emillie is always there for Amanda and me. Not only is the newly constructed bar clean and aesthetically appealing, along with the views being amazing, the service is warm, friendly, attentive and FUN!!! Excellent salmon and rice dish, too.

Lucky Fish is a great casual spot right on the beach in Dania. The atmosphere is super relaxed. I ordered their coconut shrimp which exceeded my expectations. Service was friendly but a bit slow during peak time, which is understandable for a beach bar.

Such a fun ocean side place for seafood and casual American fare. Love the thatched rooves over the tables and the live music. It felt like being on a little vacation.. all that and the food was actually good. This was a great discovery and we will definitely add Lucky Fish to our roster of fun weekend restaurants.

This new beachfront tiki bar & restaurant by the Dania Beach Pier is a must-visit! The elevated location above the dunes provides outstanding ocean views from every seat. The double smash burger was delicious, and the fish dip was a standout. Drinks were solid, and the bartenders were very attentive. Parking is plentiful but valet is available. Plus, it's a fantastic destination for a motorcycle ride. Highly recommended!

Brook was very sweet. She was at our table every time we needed anything. The perfect beach food. Everything was wonderful

lucky fish in Dania Beach is amazing excellent service, it's starts with Kevin, the manager and the bartender's Briitany,Kailynn, Dallas and Cody are great behind the bar. always making sure everyone if taken care of love this beach bar in Dania Beach.

I honestly loved everything about my visit to Lucky Fish this past week. They are located in Dania Beach so it's very convenient to get to from all directions. Dania Beach is already a good time and this adds to that experience. The decor is perfect giving off a Tropical vacation vibe. There seems to be plenty of seating and it seemed very clean, including the bathrooms. Our server was very nice and attentive. A friendly face is always appreciated. I ordered the coconut shrimp and a piña colada and then a little later ordered a happy hour special of tequila and pineapple juice. Everything was really good. I love going to the beach and having access to a good food with drinks. A must try.

An old shack bar reopened seven months ago as a massive opportunity for beach goers and local Dania Beach residents to enjoy a new tiki restaurant. Live mixed music playing today which we listened to while we ate at the custom wooden bar. Each table was covered by a tiki for shade but today was a torrential down pour for a full hour flooding the parking lot. They do offer a covered bicycle shed for non-drivers. Ordered a cold craft beer and a fish dip which was not bad. Fun staff and good conversation with down to earth patrons.

Starting with the best parts first: AMBIANCE: Views are unbeatable, beautiful huge tiki-bar on Dania Beach near Dania Pier and John Lloyd Park. They've done a great job with this space and as FL Natives, we love the beach vibe and open air option. FOOD: after several visits, clearly the food isn't 'great' or consistent. We eat fresh Florida Fish often and hoped this was a viable source, but maybe stick to the chicken. In our first visits we tried the Conch fritters and fish dip. Both good and worth a try. We don't eat a lot of fried food so we also tried the grilled Grouper Caesar but unfortunately it was fishy, could have been an off day... After having breakfast a few times, we decided breakfast was a safe bet, since breakfast is usually quiet and they have some interesting combinations. Although it's difficult to screw up breakfast, I've learned if I want my eggs over medium I need to order over easy, which I did. They came out hard with over cooked yolks. Must have sat under heat lamp too long. SERVICE: Our first several visits the staff were all very friendly and sufficiently attentive, maybe not super attentive or experienced, they always had a good attitude and you're on the beach so filling in the time waiting for another beverage etc is not horrible. However, yesterday was not the case. We were looking forward to a nice breakfast on the beach, and introducing our brother to the location as he enjoys going out for breakfast. We sat at the tiki bar as we always have and since it was around 9:00 ish we were pretty much the only people around the bar. They open at 8:00 and the Bartender, Amanda was still focused on cleaning. Things started off fine. We noticed it was surprisingly super windy, menus, napkins, drink coaster etc had to be weighed down. It wasn't from the ocean breezes but the 10' ceiling fans on high above the bar which were fine until our not so hot egg dishes came and were quickly losing any heat they may have had. Eating cold eggs in 20 knot winds wasn't feasible. When we finally got bartender's attention to ask if the fan above us could be turned down, she continued cleaning the bar and eventually after we started moving to another table away from the bar and the fans. She let us know, with major attitude said she turned them off. When we mentioned that they were making our food cold she said that they were up so high so she didn't get bit (mosquitoes we guessed). When we asked a question about their "Lucky Hash" she's couldn't really answer and explained she's never worked breakfast. Despite having tried to break the ice with her several times, it was clear she didn't want to be working Sunday morning. OVERALL: We mainly go for the views and staff has always been friendly. Hopeful the future visits are more pleasant. Sadly it seems the old adage I was told during my career in the industry "the customer is always right" and TIPS is "To Insure Proper Service" has become extinct and replaced with I'm here to do you a favor and I'll get there when it's convenient for me.

Recently openly and hard to find but if you're headed to the Dania Pier it's a short walk from there. A great spot to unwind from a day on the beach or just to sit under a big tiki bar and listen to live music. Today it was very wet due to a thunderstorm. My hubby and I got soaked running back to the truck but still had a great time. Fun bartenders and excellent fish dip. Parking costs $5 an hour and that sux but an Uber would be much more.

My coworkers and I stopped here for a bite to eat. It was a Friday afternoon around 2pm. We were seated immediately. Our waitress was super friendly. The restaurant was super quiet and relaxing. The ocean views and breeze really did add to the ambiance. I had the grilled mahi mahi. It was pretty good. I would definitely return especially after a long day at work.

Nice restaurant and bar. My friend and I tried it for the first time. The place is fairly large with two sections, all outdoors but covered. One section seems to be more bar related and the other more restaurant. It was a Thursday evening and they had some live entertainment. We couldn't see the guy because we were in the restaurant portion, but we could hear him, and it sounded like a mediocre karaoke performance. It was not busy. We had great seats facing the ocean.....you couldn't get a better view. We both ordered the fish bowl, which came with mahi, or you could have had shrimp or chicken. It came with rice, beans, and corn. It was good, but not great. I need to ask for extra sauce. Our server was nice, but a little unresponsive, for example, there were silverware and glasses from previous customers right by us that were not taken away. The prices were not bad at all for a beach venue. You do have to pay for parking since it is right by the ocean. I would come here again because of the nice environment, and try ordering something else.

Such a great beach restaurant with amazing food and views! I'm not gonna lie, I was skeptical. I expected it to be a tourist trap with not great food, and I was extremely wrong. The food, service, ambience, and views can't be beat. The view is amazing, right on Dania Beach! It's set back a little from the water and sits a little higher, so you still get a nice breeze even on a hot day. Parking is $10 which isn't ideal, but they can't do anything about that. I started with a piña colada, which was perfect for a summer day at the beach. It has real pieces of coconut in it too! Most of the menu is seafood, but I ordered the blackened chicken tacos. It comes with two which I thought wouldn't be enough to fill me, but they were huge and I couldn't even finish! The flavor of the blackened chicken and sriracha aioli was perfect-not overly spicy and the perfect complement to the fresh mango. Pro tip: get the sriracha on the side so you can dip your chips in it. The chips are seasoned by the way, and so good. My family was all super happy with their dishes as well. I stole a couple fries, which were also seasoned and really good. Our waitress was super nice as well. Lucky Fish isn't your average beach shack. The food and ambiance are amazing. As a local, we will definitely definitely definitely be back.

Fun environment. Close to the beach. Beautiful for sunsets. Good prices too. The food was what you'd expect from it, not remarkable but good enough to be like I'm fed. Don't get anything too sophisticated like a Mediterranean chicken wrap it's just not their thing-do burgers, etc. Pay to park in front which was like 5/hr was a thing and the server was very happy, but other staff had a good day and smile there faces, so I consider our server just to be having a hard day. I'd go back

Met a friend who lives in Dade County here today for lunch. This was about half way for each of us and we both love "playing tourist". We each used to come to the beach here many years ago and remembered when this spot was the old divey hotdog stand. This was a lovely restaurant. There are two sides -- one more concrete and one more tiki bar. I chose to sit on the side with the ambiance. Both areas are covered but open air. Luckily there was a nice breeze off the ocean making it comfortable. They don't have valet parking during the week -- only on weekends. We both used the parking app for a space along the beach side. The cost was $10.45 for two hours. You walk up stairs to get to the raised areas of the restaurant. They do take reservations thru the Resy app, but they weren't needed mid week in May. We had good and attentive service. The gal answered questions and remembered all my friend's special requests. We were so busy talking and catching up that I forgot to check in and forgot to take food photos! That rarely happens for me. I'd had a week's worth of seafood while on a recent mini vacay, so was craving a burger. I got their classic smash cheeseburger and it was very good. Came with american cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and a sauce. I got coleslaw as my side. I really liked that also. The other side choice is fries. My friend got the half pound peel 'n eat shrimp, cold. It had a touch of old bay sprinkled on top. She said it was very good. We didn't try any of their special cocktails, but they have a long list of tropical libations. Prices are fairly reasonable for food -- especially in this area -- plus we got the spectacular beach scenery. I'd definitely come back here, again. Can't wait to bring some of our visitors...

Saw this place advertised on Instagram Been to its competitor around the corner so we decided to try it . Started off with small glass of sangria @$14 loaded with ice , not happy , ordered a mahi mahi sandwich with coleslaw , and a mahi mahi bowl . Wifey had the sandwich with coleslaw was very good , the bowl was amazing fish with rice , black beans , marinated onions , corn was amazing and very clean .

We've been waiting for Lucky Fish to open and it did not disappoint. We hung out at the beach all morning and then stopped in for some lunch on a Saturday afternoon and it was packed. The hostess said it would be an hour + wait but we got a call back in 20 mins. Staff were all friendly, although we did go close to when it just opened and it was a little chaotic. Great views across from the ocean. I got the double smash burger and it was great, juicy and packed with flavor. I like the bread to be a little softer but it was still really good. Drinks were all very strong (no complaints here...) Will definitely come back next time we head to Dania Beach

As regular beachgoers we had been dying to go to Lucky Fish, but unfortunately the experience didn't live up to the hype. Vibes: 5 out of 5. The views alone make this place a great place to hang out. We ate on the balcony/patio where we were able to see the ocean and catch a great breeze. For anyone interested in a nice beach view with your meal, this one is tough to beat in the area. Food: 3 out of 5. The food was underwhelming. We got two appetizers and a BLTA to split as well as two drinks. Our drinks were great and came relatively quickly. The food came quick too. Unfortunately, it was not good. Our fresh guacamole was not good. When it arrived, my wife took a bite and immediately asked if it looked off. I tried it and it tasted as if the avocado used had started to go bad. They attempted to replace it with a new one, but it didn't taste much better. The pineapple jerk wings tasted good, but unfortunately we couldn't taste any pineapple. The BLTA was good. The food reminded us of the tourist restaurants on Hollywood Or Ft Lauderdale Beach based on taste and price. Service: 4 out of 5. The service was good overall, though the servers appeared to be gathering up and talking most of the time. Overall: 3 out of 5. This is a great spot for a happy hour or quick drink with a view. The food was not great especially for the price. This has strong tourist trap vibes, but could have potential to be a great hangout spot if the food gets better.

Lucky Fish is a great casual spot right on the beach in Dania. The atmosphere is super relaxed. I ordered their coconut shrimp which exceeded my expectations. Service was friendly but a bit slow during peak time, which is understandable for a beach bar.

The location was great but the food was simply mediocre. I had the shrimp wrap and it was lacking flavor. Seemed like just a bunch of ingredients thrown together. Two of my friends had the jerk wings. Besides being cold and over cooked, they said the sauce tasted like plain old barbecue sauce. Another friend had mahi over a Ceasar salad and mentioned the fish was overcooked and dry. We ordered well done fries and both orders came out cold and soggy. We did send those back. The service was okay, nothing great but average. Probably would not rush back unless I was going for drinks and a view.

Great addition to Dania Beach! I have been to the Pompano Beach location, so I was excited to see a new location open up with great ocean views. Plenty of outdoor seating near their large tiki bar. Be warned, it can be very windy. Bring a hair clip or wear a hat, otherwise it may become a hairy situation. The food was great! My favorite item is the Tuna Poke Nachos, but tried blackened shrimp tacos on this occasion and they were really good! Our server and rest of the staff were friendly and attentive. Parking (pay by app) can be a bit tricky if on a busy beach day, and occasionally Dania Beach employees are forced to temporarily close the parking lot. Be patient and/or opt to go earlier that you want to eat just in case. Definitely worth a visit!

What a great spot on Dania Beach! It's right off the beach, with great views of the waves and lots of breezes (be prepared with a hair tie or cap so your hair isn't blowing everywhere!) The menu isn't huge or varied- mostly fish dishes, but they are simple and just done well! I've had the fish tacos and fish bowl. The blackened mahi is delicious, and is a good portion of fish in each order. The tacos have been my favorite so far. The sauce is good and light and it's a good portion of fish. Service is great too. I thought they would be disorganized being so new but they seem to have figured it out! It's feels like there are plenty of servers around for everyone. I haven't had any mixed drinks from the bar yet so I can't report on that. There is live music nightly also to set the mood right. Parking can be tough- not a lot of spots in the area and it can get quickly crowded on a nice beach day. Overall, definitely check this brand new restaurant out!

Came here for lunch on a weekday with a friend , and the weather was amazing lol even thought the restaurants had nothing to do with it made the day better . :D great restaurant by the water with amazing views. The food was good and fresh and the drinks were delicious. Try the wraps so refreshing and great for lunch! I got the shrimp and mango salsa tacos , and it was delicious, a bit spicy but just a kick !

We happened to stop by and were overall impressed. Our server Kaitlyn was very attentive and really all of the staff were beyond friendly. A cool area with tiki tables and bar. Service was extremely friendly, we were greeted upon check in and the managers came by as well. The portions here are large! Poke nachos were a hit. My 12 year old enjoyed the double cheeseburger and my 9 year old enjoyed the foot long hot dog. The shrimp poboy was massive and the blackened fish sandwich was perfect. We will definitely have to come back next time we are in town.

Great service and great view. It's always very nice coming here. The grouper fingers are really good and the platter (forgot what it's called) is good and has shrimp conch and fish fingers.

We love it here! Service, value and food quality are great. Love the habanero wings, conch fritters and smash burgers which are always on our order. Tried the cheese steak today which was also very good. Even in the horrendous summer heat the fans keep the patio cool and comfortable. Shoutout to all of the staff - Miranda served us today and she was awesome.

I took my mom to this restaurant for Mother's Day lunch. She asked to go to a restaurant that was on the water and has outside seating. This place fit her request spot on! We chose to sit under the tiki hut side and the views of the ocean were spectacular. The food and drinks were average and worth another visit. I hear the nightly live music is a real vibe. I plan to give it a try. Great place to reserve as your lunch option when having a beach day!

Some of the best views in South FL! I love the way they have this place set up. Seriously gorgeous views of the Dania Beach. We visited at 11am on Sunday and it wasn't too busy. we got a seat at a table upstairs and enjoyed our beer & alcoholic seltzer. they have a decent drink menu with your typical choices plus some specialty cocktails. we ordered the fresh guac but it came out brown. I took a bite and the waitress was nearby and asked how it was. It tasted as if the avocado used had gone bad. She quickly took it away and got a new one made. The second one tasted a bit fresher but overall I think they need to check the avocados they are using. You can see from my photo the color of the guac was not fresh at all. the chef came out and asked how the guac was after it was remade. the staff was attentive and friendly. My husband really enjoyed his BLTA (BLT with avocado) and the fries were delicious with unique seasoning. We also got the wings which were supposed to be flavored with pineapple but had no pineapple flavor at all. the food was really underwhelming which is unfortunate but we will definitely be back for the drinks and views. they have valet parking for $40 or $10 with validation. there is also lots of parking via paybyphone in the beach lot which we paid $10 for two hours.

Nice big open new restaurant on Dania Beach! Lucky fish is completely covered outdoor restaurant with tons of high and low top tables but tons of bar seating! We went on Friday and caught the tail end of happy hour which is from 3-6. Live music started after happy hour ended. We sat at the bar for drinks and food. The service was pretty good along with the happy hour margaritas. We shared the coconut shrimp and fried fish sandwich. I loved the mango salsa that came on the sandwich and with the coconut shrimp. The food was decent (3.5) but the ambience was great! Perfect spot to go with family, on a date, or after a day at the beach!

Great place to hang out, have something to drink and eat. Within steps of the beach. Very affordable pricing and good portions. Service was very friendly and prompt. It is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner

The ocean view is beautiful and the food is amazing, I had the fish and chips and I will definitely be getting it again 11/10 . The wait staff was good , we went after the live band had left so it was not as hectic I'm sure. A solid date night place to go for special occasions

Came in for short trip to take care of business. Stopped by tho place for dinner. Ordered mahi sandwich, grouper, conch fritters, and pico de gallo with guacamole, blueberry lemonade. Fries- dry and old. Fries are my fav so usually I get a little irritated if you can't cook fries. Mahi extremely overcooked and dry. Took the mahi off the sandwich and used the flavorful grouper. I would suggest just having a grouper sandwich. Chips were good/ok and lemonade was good. Fritters were good, not a lot of conch but good. Music was great, live artist. Waitress offered dessert and tried to accommodate for the dry fries and mahi. She was super sweet. In all chill spot with vibe. Tool notch if the kitchen puts some tlc in the meal.

Can't really give it more than 3 at the moment-. Yes, the food is great but it's also a fairly new spot. The only thing that needs to improve is the urgency for food to be delivered, all the while it's the correct item from the menu. That was my only gripe. But the food is great, so are the views, def check it out

Cute waterfront spot that opened just last week in Dania beach! Parking is easy and convenient, didn't eat just popped in for a drink. Very cute carrot top tables overlooking the ocean with a very friendly wait staff. Would be revisiting

LOVED this place!!! Fantastic location and vibe. I had the shrimp po'boy and core cream sandwich for dessert. Can't wait to go back and try some more items.

My waitress was outstanding she recommended the Fried Grouper fingers and they were delicious and I had a Pompano Punch mixed drink that was really good as well. It's outside right next to the beach the ambiance was very beachy and casual it was around 2:00 on a Tuesday it wasn't crowded but I am sure it gets crowded later....definitely recommend

Great service! My waitress Bri was so bubbly and brightened my day. French fries were the best I've ever had! Very scenic beach spot.

The place is by the entrance of the beach so it's nice. The hostess' were unfriendly but whatever not a big deal. The food was delicious in the moment and our server, Adrianna, was very nice and attentive. but DO NOT GO to this place. Right after I ate the Mariner's platter, i got food poisoning. I was sweaty, shaky, and passed out. It was awful. I am soo disappointed because it was good in the moment. 2/10 only bc our server was very nice, otherwise it'd be a 0.

So happy we have a Lucky Fish in Dania, we usually go to the Pompano location. This place is beautiful, gets a great breeze off the ocean too. Staff was great, especially our server Alexis, she clearly loves her job. Everything she recommended was excellent. The drinks were delicious, the appetizers, Fried Calamari and Tuna Poke Nachos were scrumptious and good to share. Fried Mahi sandwich & fries were great and the BLTA to die for. Welcome to the neighborhood, can't wait to go back.

Food was mediocre, view was spectacular I ask for sweet tea she said we only have unsweetened I said ok thinking she would figure out I needed sugar nope she didn't... I also asked for EXTRA ICE By the time she came back my ice was completely melted so I ask for a fresh tea with extra ice ... I guess she doesn't know what extra ice means , bring an extra cup of ice it's 89 degrees out , ice melts fast Long period of time between server checking on us. The hostess was on her phone the whole time we were there I had to ask the hostess to get our check because the server was not visible. Our server stood over me while I was paying and leaving a review and approached me as to why I didn't give a good report I don't think this is appropriate to see how much I tip

Had lunch at Lucky Fish last week. Great friendly server. Enjoyed grouper fingers. View is amazing. Will be back.

We came in for a late lunch one day and everything was fantastic. The ambiance is phenomenal and the service was very good too!

I've been here 4 separate times since the restaurant opened. I always come to Dania beach probably every other weekend so I saw this place get built and must say it is a nice addition to the beach. Only downside is that parking has gone up in price and if you're not there early enough, you have a lesser chance of finding a spot near the front of the beach. Now as for the vibe, the restaurant has a nice beachy ambience with the tiki umbrellas and bright colors. Servers I've had have always been friendly and attentive even when they're really busy. The live music is nice and their bathrooms are always clean. Food and drinks are also pretty good. My favorites so far are their salmon with fried rice, grilled fish sandwich, smash burger, and wings. For drinks, I've only tried their frozen drinks such as Miami vice, piña colada, and frozen Margarita. I have not tried their breakfast yet or gigantic ice cream sandwiches which I've been wanting to!

This is a great place for happy hour if you're near Dania Beach. You can see the ocean from almost every table. The staff were friendly and the drinks were delicious. I didn't order any food this trip--they didn't have a lot of vegan options so this would not be my first choice if I were there for a meal. For beach side ambiance, though, it's hard to beat!

Great food, service, and ambiance! I always go to Dania Beach for the scene, when i'm in Fort Lauderdale for business, and it just got better with Lucky Fish! After a nice swim, walked up to the restaurant, ordered Grilled Sword Fish and it did not disappoint! Add a great server, Tiffany, to the mix and you got a winner! All the servers i interacted with had nothing but POSITIVITY! My compliments to the chef too, for the tasty seafood dinner! The live music, and the bar, where i sat that had the panoramic ocean view, made the experience topnotch! THANK YOU Lucky Fish!

I loved this place! I have been in Pompano and in Dania. I even celebrated my birthday a few years ago in the pompano location. I like that it is by the sea, the food is really good and the staff in both places is very nice. I like the open space with the sea breeze.

In order: location is absolutely killer The service is awesome and Cody "the bartender" is gonna be a rockstar here. The Food was awesome we had Shrimp tacos and the fried grouper. If you have been to Pompano location Meg's stamp is all over this place. I highly recommend

Waitress Kylee was good and veryyyyy attentive. The fish dip was delish but just don't know why it took 15-20mins to come out. Tropical shrimp wrap, second time trying but never again. It did not have flavor and made the wrap very very soggy. Smash burger for the most part was decent. However, at least being at the beach and having a live band makes it a bit pleasant. Lucky fish is more than likely never going to be a to go to choice for me!

The view is beautiful. Food is so so but may have to go back to try again. The park next door is great for kids

Went last week. Loved everything. The food was amazing the service was great and the view of the ocean was amazing.

Excellent food with an outstanding view!! The waitstaff was great, especially since one was being trained and did outstanding!!! I highly recommend Lucky ?Fish!!!

Yeah I'm not really impressed with the service. It was mediocre at best. As for the prices I think they're a little bit high especially on their salads. Food was average. Typical beach bar food. Maybe someday they'll l get somebody that knows how to be a a server. Try to find some people with personality. Oh and by the way tell the servers don't eat food in the service station, without washing their hands before they go back to the tables. Yeah I can't say I'll come back.

Nice beachy vibe, outdoors with a good view, nighttime is buzzing. Drinks are very good and their Mahi sandwich is a must have. Great service even during a peak time Saturday night. The just opened so now is the time to visit.
