Wild Thyme Oceanside Eatery

Reservation made for 4 for lunch. Busy seated outside on terrace. Very busy street with a high traffic flow. Loud vehicles and music from cars are distracted from conversations . Our server took the order and made a comment about my daughters health allergies. Not appropriate under any circumstances The dishes we ordered were severed, and I found the bacon and sausage were not freshly prepared. Both tasted liked they had been setting under the heat lamp for a while. The chicken sandwich with fries was excellent The chocolate chip pancakes were good. The chicken salad was prepared with chicken that had an off flavor. Like the spices were overpowering the taste of the chicken. The drinks served were ok.. a rum based cocktail that was made with passion fruit. Recommend that you make your reservations for inside and avoid the noise of the street traffic.

The location is perfect. You get a nice view of the beach on the patio. Pet friendly , the waiter was kind enough to bring my pup some water. The only con was the food took a while to come out

Thank you, Mark and your team . We had a late snake when we arrived yesterday, and today we came back for dinner ! The wings and calamari were delicious, literally, crunchy hot, and delicious. Tonight, we returned for dinner, had chargrilled octopus coconut shrimp, and then for dinner, we had the muscles and the braised beef noodle dish followed by a large serving of carrot cake with vanilla ice cream! You and your team made everything can. we look forward to sharing your delicious food again, well recommended, make reservations, and enjoy the ocean view across the street. Outdoor seating is the best!

The location and view are absolutely amazing if you sit outside — definitely the main reason to visit. Unfortunately, the service is quite slow and the food and drinks are just average. We came for brunch; I had the avocado toast and my husband had the famous breakfast board which was alright nothing to brag about, but nothing memorable. Still, enjoying breakfast with that view made it worth the visit.

From the moment I arrived, to the seating, and lastly being served. Parking was very convenient as it was less than a 10 minute walk. My best friend and I were immediately accommodated and given an outside view. Our waitress was exceptional in accommodating our needs and ensuring we had a great experience. The server was prompt and very friendly. I highly recommend this establishment for any tourist, family gathering, or a great eat for brunch.

My 5 Star experience was thanks to Jacob! He was so attentive, fun and made sure we were taken care of. The view was spectacular. Both the indoors and outside spaces had a great atmosphere. Right in front of the beach and they have complimentary valet parking for up to 2 hours.

We kicked off our brunch + beach day with a round of French 75s—light, bubbly, and the perfect toast to sunshine and good company. Then came the brunch board… and O.M.G. We’re talking: 🥓 Crispy bacon 🥞 Fluffy pancakes 🍳 Eggs Benedict 🍔 Burger sliders 🍇 Fresh fruit 🌭 Juicy sausage links It was a brunch dream served on a board—and we’ve never seen anything like it before. The four of us shared it, and it was both a feast and a vibe. We definitely had to swim off those delicious calories, but honestly? So worth it. Highly recommend Wild Tyme if you’re looking for a place that sets the tone for a perfect beach day.

I was coming from a morning walk so I admit I might not have been looking like a million dollars but I still got this money and want to eat some breakfast. I get seated no problem but it’s really about 15-20 mins before anybody brings me anything especially water which I was grateful for because remember I came from a morning walk and it’s summer. It’s another 15 mins before a woman waiter starts making eye contact w me and I motion for her to come to me. She’s so confused why nobody has taken my order or even come to speak with me. I’m darker skinned and I try not to make that a reason for things I was also probably looking homeless IDK but I was not treated well here until the lady waitress finally came and started serving me. I made sure to give her well over 20% tip bc while I wasted a lot of time waiting for the staff to get their act together, it saved me the walk in the hot sun to the next breakfast spot. I was gonna wait for however long it was gonna take them cuz I was tired from my walk and I just wanted some breakfast and to start my walk home. I don’t suggest this restaurant unless you’re cool with possibly being discriminated against and ignored and enjoy advocating for yourself to receive service.

On 9/28/24 @ 12pm, i attended a brunch event by GRSF; I'm a foster volunteer. I have to say that what wowed me was the service. Our server anticipated my Bloody Mary refills (delish) and just was so efficient & considerate of everyone it's been a while, since, I've had this level of service. I wish I recalled her name. She was awesome!!!! The food was pretty good too. Although, the all on one platter presentation made it difficult to get the food and was awkward to share w/strangers. Since, it was a catered event, that was the option. I really enjoyed the bananas foster French toast and the burger sliders. I wasn't able to try anything else really. It was hard to grab the food. Oh, I did try a Chkn tender that I didn't like. The restaurant's a/c appeared to be having trouble. They did have a fan and it wasn't hot. It just wasn't cool. The location as great. They even valet. However, we self parked because there were about 6 cars in line. I def recommend trying this place; the hotel is pretty. If you're going to be in the area. It's such a pretty part of Ft. Laud beach, as well. The service was a 5 star experience!!!!!!!!0

We were looking to grab a quick brunch before hitting the beach, so we decided to go to Wild Thyme. Ambiance was casual and service was fast. We got avo toast and egg Benedict, but both were honestly meh.

My friends and I went to have brunch at this establishment and I had a really great time. The restaurant has a view of the ocean, so it's in a great location . It is casual, but classy at the same time. I had the tasty turkey club and it was very good and flavorful. One of my friends had the Atlantic burger and she found it to be extremely tasty and delicious, and my other friend had the Philly cheesesteak and he found it but he said the meat was a little chewy, but flavorful. This restaurant is good for groups, a dates, and even if you want to bring your furry friend because there's outside seating. Service was great and I do recommend anyone to eat here.

Valet was the easiest parking option around dinner time. We were instantly greeted and seated. We were given birthday shots and dessert which was a nice surprise. The appetizers and sides were amazing even the house salad with the vinaigrette was delicious. The only issue is all of the meat on the butcher boards were overcooked and once they came out no one came by to check on us. When someone finally came they didn't bring out some replacement but we were somewhat over it and ready to go to our after dinner drink reservation.

Been here before-Great for breakfast! I went here twice and both times the service staff were amazing! The food was amazing too! This is one place I will continue to come to when I come to Fort Lauderdale

Menu looked intriguing. Servers, and they changed many times in one sitting, were all very nice. The presentation of the food was as appealing as they sounded on the menu. But reality hit. The conch fritters, while very tasty with a just ever so slight spicy sauce, had very little conch inside. $15 for 5 of them. The shrimp penned in vodka sauce was ok, but nothing to write home about. Sauce was good. The penned tasted like it came out of a box. The hanger steak was good with a tasty sauce. But the roasted potatoes were stale as if they were roasted earlier in the day and reheated. There must be better options around. We'll see.

My brother had a semi early flight back home and this was one of the only restaurants open before 11 am-which was awesome. The reason it's 4 stars and not 5, is due to ambiance but this could completely be because I went early and there was no one there. Our server was very nice, we sat outside, they have Ana maxing view. Food was ok- my bowl was all potato's and not enough of anything else. The inside looks beautiful. I am willing to try this place again perhaps at a different time.

Causal brunch spot near the beach with a great priced bottomless brunch. The menu unfortunately does not have many options to choose from, however what do they serve is tasty.

Came to check it out since we got here very early from the airport! Picked it for the ocean views. It was too warm so we sat inside but you still get the view of the ocean. We were there for brunch and it wasn't very busy. Food was good! We tried the Cuban and a Philly chew steak. Both were warm and delicious. The fries were like potato wedges with crispy edges. Had to wait a little to get seated. But service was fast otherwise. Good spot for brunch if you are in the area visiting

Top notch brunch experience with great food, friendly, efficient service and a beautiful beach setting.

2nd visit for brunch. The service was great, food was so good and the ambience was perfect.

Wild Thyme is one of the best brunch spots ever! The combination of the beautiful, peaceful beach setting and the delicious food makes for a great dining experience. The drinks are great too--my favorite being the peach Bellini. My only two criticisms of this place are that they charge for side sauces (kinda tacky, imo) and the menu is pretty small/limited. I would recommend Wild Thyme to anyone.

Made a reservation here for weekend brunch with a friend. I've seen this restaurant a million times from the outside, but have never been so I was excited to give it a shot! We started out with cocktails, which were about as weak as most spendy brunch spots. Should have gotten the bottomless, but it wasn't THAT kind of brunch. Can't hold it against them too much, like I said, most spendy brunch places are like this. In terms of the food, this is about the most "meh" restaurant I've ever been to. Nothing was truly BAD tasting, and really my biggest complaint is that my eggs Benedict breakfast was enough food for a toddler with an eating disorder and not much more. My friend picked at his lackluster salad, and we shared the "freaky fries," which were the highlight of the meal and really were just chicken tenders cut up on steak fries and drizzled with ranch and honey. None of it was offensive. None of it was worth sending back. It was just...meh. I gotta shout out the service because we were well taken care of by the staff! The twist of the knife was the price tag on this unmemorable meal. I know it's brunch, but dang! There is definitely a "waterfront" tax on these prices. Overall, Wild Thyme is not topping my list of must-try brunch spots in Fort Lauderdale. But if I did come back, I'd be sure to get the bottomless mimosas and the freaky fries.

Very nice atmosphere. This brunch board was plenty for about 3 people. Lots of food and flavor. The server Lisa was amazing! Very attentive! The AC was not working and it was very hot and sticky while eating.

I came on a sunday morning for brunch with a friend. I did not have a reservation and was told there was only outside seating available. It was a lovely day so i didnt mind sitting outside and watching the oceanwaves. The resteraunt has great views of the beach. Our waitress was very nice, told us about the menu, and was very attentive. We decided to do the brunch board which is a great bang for your buck. My favorite thing on the board was hands down the french toast. I could eat a whole plate of that french toast it was so delicious. The only thing i could critique would be the burgers needed a little bit more flavor, they were a little dry but when i added ketchup it made up for it. The one thing i didnt end up finishing was the eggs benedict, wasnt my favorite. Everything else was great! I would definitely come back!

Ambience outside is relaxing. Came for dinner. Paella was tasty. Would like more of a dinner selection. Friendly staff. Would give more stars if menu had more options.

Love this place from the moment, I walked up, was greeted by the hostess with a smiling face. My server was very busy, but she was very attentive. My food was OK kind of wished I tried something different but overall I would join them against. That outside patio view is absolutely stunning.

Went with my family for lunch, food was great and we sat outside on a beautiful day overloooking the water. The food and the ambiance was great. Service was a little slow but the food was worth it! If you're in the area and have a few hours, this is a great pick.

When I see freaky fries listed on a menu. I have to try it. I have admit the curiosity for this dish. I ended up getting the braised beef rib -Freaky Fries and they were good and a good size dish. The fries had a different shape to them. They were shaped like scoops. The perfect shape for this dish. The short ribs on top tastes great. They were both tender and sweet. I liked the dish very much. I ordered to go. The customer service was friendly and nice. They staff made me feel welcome. I liked the casual atmosphere of this place. I will next time eat in. This restaurant faces the beach. It has a nice long outdoor sitting area as well as a nice air conditioned indoors. I parked on the side. I saw more city parking on the back.

Server was great. Older woman from the northeast based on her accent. Turkey club was great (HUGE!) but even better were the fries. A mix of a chip and a fry - so good. Spicy mayo too. Good Arnold Palmer. Good views of the beach right there. Easy lunch.

My favorite part of the dining experience here was having my meal outside by the beach and palm trees during the late afternoon. They have have plenty of seating inside too. The service was great here and we had some laughs with the staff. I ordered the chicken parmesan stack and it was delicious. The linguini was delicious and the generous pieces of chicken parm as well. A couple of the chicken parm pieces were a little odd and tendinous. On the weekends, they have a brunch menu from 8 am to 3 pm.

I usually don't eat in a hotel restaurant, but this is more like a quality restaurant that just so happens to be in a hotel. The outdoor seating seems like it would be great on a nice night, but it happened to be windy and rainy when we were there. Indoor seating was fine, but there was a loud fan sound from the kitchen. It was a little distracting, but bearable, . That part aside, the food was absolutely amazing! I had the snapper with red potatoes and Cajun cream sauce. It was one of the best meals I've had in a very long time. My daughter had the pineapple chicken fried rice. She liked it but their chicken chunks were pretty big and probably should have been cut into smaller bite-size pieces. The bread board we ordered was served with dipping oil and an herb butter, and both were scrumptious. My daughter had a margarita which I tasted. It was very good as well. The service was Attentive, no complaints there.

The food was decent. I decided on breakfast. The servers were very nice. When I walked up from the ocean side, I was greeted by a dirty food plate cart and rags. :( I sat outside on the patio. It's such a great location! Better than a lot of the restaurant on Ocean but it's so dirty.

I had the bananas foster French toast and I was in a sugar coma afterwards.. it was amazing!!!!! Our server was attentive and genuinely happy... she was fantastic! I can't wait to come back to Ft Lauderdale, because this is the first place I'm going to!

The service was amazing and the breakfast was pretty awesome. I enjoyed some scrambled eggs and some pancakes that were fluffy and cooked to perfection. I included some bananas in those pancakes and they were pretty righteous. I must say that the cook at the restaurant did a phenomenal job when cooking my breakfast and I am grateful that I decided to go there for breakfast on that morning. This is a definite spot that I will return to in the future when I am in the Fort Lauderdale area.

Great spot for brunch! The manager was extremely accommodating with our party, which I appreciated from the start. We all enjoyed our dishes, but a few dishes stood out the most, including the Bananas Foster French Toast and the Philly Cheesesteak. The buffalo fries are also a must as a shareable side. Our waiter was great, and we were never without bottomless mimosas. You obviously also can't beat the ocean views here! I'll definitely be back for brunch!

Came here for brunch with my best friend and now we never order anything else but what you see in the photos. The banana foster French toast is so good! But everything is great to be honest. This is located across the street from the beach and has a beautiful atmosphere. We enjoy eating outdoor but the inside is gorgeous. Service is great a I recommend you go here for brunch.

Great Happy hour specials from 4-6PM. Everything we had was great. Make sure you order the smoked old fashioned! The bar has a lounge like feel to it with big windows overlooking ocean. The service was fantastic. Happy hour on the ocean front - you aren't going to beat it anywhere else in the neighborhood.

Came here for a birthday brunch with a large party. The family style brunch board and all you can drink mimosas/bloody Mary's is what drew us in. It came out to $60 a person which is a pretty great deal. The food was delicious and plenty to go around but I have some issues with the service. #1, for a large party you had to pay 50% of the bill days before to keep a reservation. I've never seen a restaurant demand that much of a payment upfront. Mind you, this was for 14 people at $60 a head. #2 the service fee was 24%. We're good tippers and always tip at least 20% however, I've NEVER had a restaurant auto grat more than 18-20%. #3 the service was severely lacking. I felt this had to do with the fact the server already knew he was locked into 24%. We felt as if we were bothersome when we asked for more drinks or anything. To be fair, he was also busy but for a large party with that large of a bill, I feel like we should have had much better service. It took 20 minutes for my friend to get a coffee. #4 at the end we were sitting waiting for the remainder of the bill to come out. 20 minutes later the server came back and said oh we already charged the card you made a deposit with. Asking us if that was okay before charging the card would have been nice. Maybe I was planning on using another form of payment? All in all, we had a great time. But on my next visit I don't think I'll be coming with a large party.

An excellent option for ocean view dining in Ft Lauderdale Beach. Server was attentive and all staff were responsive to requests. Food was well flavored and plentiful. The French fries were excellent, surprisingly unique shape.

We got here a lil after the lunch rush and had the place to ourselves which was awesome; great service at the bar and great light lunch options. I loved the ahi tuna salad. It's huge so note you can share it or end up abandoning half the bowl of greens. LoL. The atmosphere is casual with indoor and outdoor seating available. The menu has lots of loaded fries but I wanted without all that extra and was happy with the crispy outside and fluffy inside; A combination that's not easy to master. Enjoy.

If you're looking for a fantastic brunch experience Oceanside the. Look no further. Well curated modern ambiance with every seat overlooking the beach and water for fantastic people watching. We ordered $20 al you can drink mimosas (2 hour time limit), brunch board split between two people with all the brunch flavors and favorites. The staff was friendly and quick wile always attentive for needs and refills. This was walkable f from our hotel and offered plenty of parking behind the buildings. We will defiantly return for a beach brunch!

This was the cutest brunch ever. I'm sitting there eating off of my breakfast charcuterie while watching the ocean's waves across the street. The vibe was cool. Our server was amazing. Even though they were crowded, they were able to squeeze my family in and get us a table. We also had bottomless mimosas. I think the breakfast charcuterie is an awesome idea! Everything on the charcuterie was tasty. The French toast was good. The sauce on the shrimp was not really tasty. Other than that, everything else was great. Not sure about parking, we used Uber.

I was hungry after an early morning flight. My hotel room wasn't ready so I went for a walk. I came to this restaurant many years ago and had great experience. I remember they had the best Bloody Mary. Fast forward to today, I had an omelette and coffee. The omelette was a good size but overpriced at $20. I recommend skipping the cheese if you don't like a lot of cheese. Coffee was just ok. If you are looking for a quick bite and nothin fancy I think it will work. The service was good but the furniture in the restaurant could use a refresh. The seat cushions were falling apart.

4 stars because it's just too expensive for breakfast- two entrees and 2 coffees plus a kids meal = $100!! Otherwise, food was fantastic, service excellent and ambiance couldn't be a better view! I made a reservation and was seated immediately upon my arrival and the server and hostess were accommodating to my children's needs - high chair, crayons and juice cups. Something to note: I am a bacon lover so I often order bacon on the side of just about every meal and that usually includes 3-4 strips - Wild Thyme went above and behind and served a week's worth as a side!

This place was just okay. We came on a Saturday morning to celebrate my Fiance's 32nd birthday. The ambiance was good. You're right across from the beach so that's a plus. Also, if you park at the Atlantic hotel the first 2 hours are free. The service was really slow so we almost made it to the 2hr mark for parking but made it in time. We ordered the brunch Board and 2 cocktails. I got a bellini, which was good. By the time the brunch Board came out it was kind of cold. One of the plates they gave had dirt on it and it took the server a while to come back to our table to even ask for a replacement. The bananas foster french toast was absolutely AMAZING. I'm not big on banana but it was so good. The pancakes were nice and light. The chicken didn't taste like anything to write home about and the eggs benedict was cool. You get a good amount of food but the taste was just okay.

Luis did a great job of entertaining us and making sure we had whatever was needed for all six of us. We had a variety of dishes including ceviche, octopus, cheese so.ething or other, etc. Four hours there and zero complaints ! Perfecr

We stopped at this excellent sidewalk cafe in the Atlantic Hotel for lunch with a view across A1A to the Atlantic. Our app was a large portion of Coconut Shrimp. 8 pieces to share. Tami thoroughly enjoyed her 'small' mozzarella pizza with spinach. Not small at all, we took half of it back to our room. I had a delicious dish of Shrimp Fries which was sauced large shrimp served over French fries. As tasty and satisfying as it was unique. Washed down with a local beer & I was happy as a clam after a brisk walk. Our server, Lisa, was personable and funny, all the while being attentive and efficient.

Wild thyme always is a vibe before my beach days. I love coming for brunch and then hitting the beach . I've gotten. The bowl and the mahi mahi sandwich . Great food and atmosphere!

Our visit to Wild Thyme was enjoyable. From the super friendly host/server greeting us and getting us a table outdoors, to our server being engaging and fun. Our meals came out quick, and we're fresh with Large portions. Ordered a specialty cocktail ad well (Berry Bliss) and it was great.

Brunch 1/28- I have been to wild thyme a few times and usually it is a good experience. I went for brunch yesterday and it was all over the place. The only reason I can give it 2 stars is I actually enjoy the food alot and the vibes are great. On the other hand here are a list of things that were terrible: 1. The hostess sat our party of 4 at far too large of a table to the point where we had to yell to each other from across the table, and when we asked to switch to a nearby table she said no, and that table remained open the entire time we were there. 2. Our waiter was terrible. Nice guy but he would go missing for 20-30 minutes at a time and avoid eye contact with us and forgot like 5 different things we had asked for. 3. We ordered the fries with chicken and hot honey on top (a dish that there would be no reason to take longer than 10-15 minutes on the busiest of days) took almost 40 minutes. 4. The tip is 18% included. After my 2.5 hour brunch that should have been 45 minutes, I had no intention of tipping 18-20%, but after seeing the bill I now understand why the service sucks... they don't have to try. Dont get me wrong, I like the food but service like that will kill a restaurant. Id imagine the days are numbered for Wild Thyme with a lack of care for its patrons.

I came for brunch on a Saturday, I made reservations just incase but either way they weren't packed because it was raining. Inside is clean and right out the window you have a view of the ocean. I love the location because once you're done eating you can take a walk on the beach or enjoy the farmers market that happens to be about 2 blocks down. I had the brunch board it's 24.99 and it's for 2 people, SO MUCH FOOD for such a great price. Everything was DELICIOUS my only complaint would be how everything on the plate touches because once I made it to my fresh fruit they were ALL warm and covered in potato mush. The Mimosas were very BITTER but it got the job done so I'm not complaining, definitely coming back for the food, great deals and views

The service was alright, but the food was pretty terrible and overpriced. And I'll basically eat anything. Everything just felt grimy. Keep on looking - there are better options.

The Wild Thyme Oceanside Eatery is located in the Atlantic Hotel & Spa on Fort Lauderdale Beach. It's become a tradition now that when any of my family members come from the northeast to visit me here in South Florida, I take them to this restaurant. The Wild Thyme Oceanside Eatery has a robust menu, fully stocked bar, indoor and outdoor seating and is very close to the beach. Every time I have visited this restaurant, I try something new. From their crispy chicken sandwich to their beef empanadas and their eggs benedict, the portions are large and everything on the menu is fresh and tasty. In addition, I've never been disappointed with their bar. If anything their drinks are very strong which is great if you plan to sit on the beach and relax after visiting this restaurant. My only critique is their fries are always very crispy which is not my preference and if you are looking to grab a bite to eat on the weekends, make sure to make a reservation. Enjoy!

Came here for brunch with some friends as this place was recommended to us. This was one of the worst brunch experiences that we have had. The food and drinks here were poorly made and overpriced. The service we were given was outrageous as the waiter gave a negative attitude after we asked about vegetarian options/substitutions. I do not recommend this location for anyone looking for a good brunch experience. Bad service and little to no good food options.

Location is nice, across the street from Ft Lauderdale beach. Hostess was nice, no issues with reservation. Street parking is available so consider a walk to the restaurant. The restaurant is located inside of Atlantic hotel offering inside and outside seating facing the ocean. Our server didn't take long to take our order but once served we never got checked on again. Mimosas were not the best and food wasn't what we expected. To be fair the pricing is low compared to other spots for brunch. I wouldn't recommend or return.

We ordered the brunch board which was amazing. My mom and I shared it and it was well worth the money. We had enough leftover to take home to enjoy some more for later in the day. Our waitress was great and kind when we told her that two of our glasses had were dirty (the first of few "cons"). She immediately got us two new drinks. The only other con was that the coffee was weak when we were craving coffee. As of ambience, the place is really bright and light in front of the beach. I love going there.

The view of the ocean is incredible! The service was amazing-- I can only speak to breakfast but my only advice is to skip on the breakfast sandwich-- it's 1/3 of the omelette on a bun -- just order an omelette and a side of bread for so much more food. Also coffee snobs, this place ain't gonna be it for you. Brown water.

This restaurant is in the Atlantic hotel. When we walked in the lobby, we were greeted by the front desk staff who directed us to the restaurant. It has indoor and outdoor dining. Our waitress was attentive and gave us great menu recommendations to include the bottomless mimosas. After reviewing the menu we decided to order the brunch board, which can easily feed 2-3 people. The board is $25/per person. Everything one the board was tasty. My favorite was the French toast topped with banana. The board also had sliders, pancakes, fresh fruit, chicken fingers, bacon, sausage, home fries, and eggs Benedict.
