The food was really really good , super warm and friendly atmosphere. Kayleigh was awesome ! She gave great recommendations. Onion soup and escargot appetizers were great. Bartender was very very welcoming when we started at the bar to listen to the live show . Felt like i was at grandmas home that’s how warm everything was.

After a nice stroll on the beach of Fort Lauderdale, we decided to have lunch at Casablanca Cafe for its beautiful decor and front ocean view. We were immediately greeted with a smile by Patrick, our server, he was super friendly, efficient and helpful. Our drinks came right away, followed with delicous dishes with huge portion and perfectly prepared. The price was right and the view was amazing! We couldn’t ask for a better time, such great time and we will be back for dinner in a couple day. Thank you staffs for a delicous meal, great service and a good time. Update, since we love it do much we visited the very next day and was taken care by Ryan S., he was attentive and great as well, cocktails were good and dishes were on point, again. Love the consistency in food, drink and service!

Talk about good atmosphere, GREAT food, and awesome service. Checking all the boxes at this place. Four different meals and everything was delicious. We had a tiny issue with silverware but the manager, Derek Fogelstrom, was INCREDIBLE and got things sorted out within an instant. He even went as far as coming to our table and offering us a drink on the house. Talk about UNREASONABLE HOSPITALITY. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for good food with a gorgeous view of the beach. No brainer. We will for sure be back again! Thank you Derek and Casablanca team!

We had such a great dinner at Casablanca in Fort Lauderdale! Our waiter, Ryan, was fantastic—super friendly, full of great suggestions, and really made the night special. The escargot with its Parmesan crust was out of this world—easily some of the best we’ve ever had. My wife’s salmon was cooked perfectly, and I tried the mahi (which I don’t usually order) and it was absolutely delicious. Between the food, the atmosphere, and Ryan’s amazing service, we left already talking about when we’ll come back. Highly recommend!

We just stopped at our favorite place in Fort Lauderdale when we come here. Casablanca Café. Nothing disappointed us. It was fabulous. Daniela was our waitress, and she is absolutely wonderful. Very accommodating, very attentive, and knows what the customer really wants and needs. We have been coming to this little gem of a place for the last 10 years every time we land in Fort Lauderdale, it’s the first place we stop. Thank you, Daniela for a great service and a wonderful lunch.

Visited this place twice while in the city for a conference. Once for dinner, the next day for lunch. Both times service was amazing. Both my waiters were attentive and great for opinions in what to order. The atmosphere was amazing and the food was great. For dinner I had the grouper meal which was excellent. Appetizer was calamari and was amazing. For lunch I had the chicken sandwich and that was great too. The restaurant made sure to get us our food as quickly as possible so we could return to the conference in time which was very considerate. I will 100% visit again when I return to Ft Lauderdale.

We walked by this place daily and it was always busy no matter if it was morning, noon or evening so we figured we needed to see what the buzz was about. We actually walked up on a Sunday evening, there was live music and we did not have to wait for a table! That was a great surprise and even better was we got an ocean view seat! The menu looked so good we couldn’t decide what to order so we decided to get a mix of appetizers. We got full on those that we skipped the entrees and went straight to dessert! Everything was as tasty as it sounded on the menu. I have to be honest, I am so glad we sat outside- I walked inside to find the restroom and was immediately hit by the mildew smell. I know this is an outdoor restaurant, by the water, I understand that. However, I didn’t have that smell in any of the other restaurants along the strip. Maybe it’s an older restaurant but either way, the smell was very strong it burned my nose. Aside from that, everything was great! We actually want to go back to give the breakfast a try!
