Mike WinstonMarch 21, 2014Head to this trendy bar restaurant for strong cocktails and amazing bar snacks. Don't miss the Szechuan Calamari or Truffled Yolo Chips. Read all about my visit on WinstonWanders below!! Read more
Ms HeleneAugust 31, 2016Despite the cringe-worthy name, there's good food here. Prepared well but under seasoned tuna tartare app $16 and seared scallops entree $32. Side of garlic seasonal greens $9. Lychee cocktail good.
Em TAugust 24, 2012Amazing outdoor seating area with great, friendly service! Definitely try the mojo pork sandwich (their take on a Cuban) - so delicious and juicy. It comes with yuca fries.
Vanessa RobertJune 2, 2014Food was delicious. Calamari was amazing! Sunday brunch, you can pay 15$ for bottomless mimosas. Having drinks, outside was gorgeous. Great atmosphere and the staff was very nice as well.
RMay 14, 2014I call it the VIP place :) it's a great place to be at. You can meet nice and elegant people (usually business men&women meet there)! Still an awesome spot to spend your weekend.
Sandra BarreraNovember 9, 2013Octopus appetizer is a must! Served with grapes, cherry tomate, nuts... spectacular! The cuscus served with the salmon is also one of a kind. Great terrace. Best dinner in Fort Lauderdale!
The grilled artichoke and fire roasted corn dip were delicious on happy hour. If I had to choose between the two I liked the dip better but both were good!
Fort Lauderdale MagazineAugust 7, 2014Meat-lovers will be enchanted by the “forever-braised” short ribs, served with creamy potato risotto, roasted carrots, and crispy shallots. - See more at: http://flmag.com/yolo#sthash.E2gU8EXW.dpuf
New Times Broward Palm BeachAugust 19, 2014YOLO is run by a group of Broward County power peeps who know how to run a solid business -- the same guys who brought you Tarpon Bend, Himmarshee Bar & Grill, and Vibe nightclub.
- New Times Broward Palm BeachApril 2, 2013It was the first place on the block to feature a fire pit and outside bar. It has great music. An impressive cocktail list. And fare paired to match it all.
- RAugust 6, 2014I still call it VIP place! It's has great location, always you'll see neat and classy people there..for the weekend, just walk by YOLO and you'll know what I'm talking about!
Carmen Muñoz CamiloJanuary 19, 2018Our server was excellent! The Szechuan Calamari, mini lobster rolls and the tuna tartare was delicious! Definitely a must to return back.- Jennifer EvansDecember 5, 2014Great restaurant and nice staff. Recommend the calamari and artichokes to start. Seafood was excellent and bread pudding was delish.
James GordonJuly 29, 2012Strong drinks. Good service. Lots of party girls. Nice outside area on cool nights. Also clustered around a bunch of places in walking distance for a good crawl.
Gilberto SoaresNovember 19, 2012Great environment and not so expensive. The sesame calamaris is great! Waiters are very kind and helpful and precise in their suggestions.
JA World UncorkedSeptember 4, 2012Clean Plate Charlie @Uncorked Best Plate - Chef Peter Boulukos spooned melt-away meat onto the potatoes with gravy and crispy shallots over the top gave a nice crunch contrast. Read more

lpbMay 12, 2018The grilled artichokes are delicious, as is everything we have eaten here. Atmosphere can be fun or intimate.- New Times Broward Palm BeachJuly 19, 2011Their Truffled Chips are named Best Potato Chips by New Times Broward Palm Beach! Each slice is topped with melted dollops of blue cheese, crisp salty bacon and flecks of rosemary and thyme.
Carol TetiMarch 31, 2017Always order the special of the day. The chef amplifies the freshest of portions with great flavors!- Love, love the fire pit in the winter and the Sunday brunch with bottomless mimosas and bloody Mary's!
Mike OhanyereOctober 22, 2017The double seared pork chops are tremendous. The spinach dumplings serve as a wonderful complement
Déja TennonFebruary 21, 2019I had the vegetable stir fry with chicken. Large portion but it was good!
natalie kaySeptember 23, 2018Calamari is pretty darn good. Not super spicy but great flavor and batter.
Kishia KishiaFebruary 19, 2017I love the outdoor seating! Service is a little slow but the food was really good.
The place in Fort Lauderdale to see and be seen and eat an amazing tuna sashimi appetizer with seaweed salad and edamame.
Johnny ChangApril 25, 2013Find the bartender named jessica, tip her up. John sent you she cleans up and locks up her bar. She'll look out for you. Xoxo
Hermine HermineJune 10, 2015The Salmon display the the beautiful atmosphere does wonders for me. I take everyone here.- New Times Broward Palm BeachAugust 16, 2012The Bread Pudding for dessert has everything I love!!! Pecan, caramel, chocolate chips and some cinnamon! Crazy good!
Paul CrosbyNovember 3, 2014Short ribs are very tender. Apple cabbage slaw lacked balance. Excellent drink menu!
Paula SantosMarch 23, 2013Had a fabulous meal here with friends and then we ended the evening at Vibe which is right there.
Nina OkSeptember 29, 2017Nothing good except the staff. The worst Greek salad I have ever eaten. Oily, fatty, enormous amount of cheese. Cranberry juice was like a wine, it was disgusting and I wasn't able to drink it at all.
Wednesday night Ladies night is always a good time. Ladies drink free until 10pm. Interesting mixture of recent graduates and "cougars"
Check out brunch till 4 on Sundays featuring Bottomless Mimosa's & Bloody Mary's to go along with a live Dj!
Front bar is great place to eat lunch and avoid the wait, with a nice breeze.
Nazy malkNovember 11, 2014Center cut was yummy mash tasted funny Friday night service was fast didn't let us finish our order just rushed away
- VisitLauderdaleApril 2, 2012Try the award-winning "forever-braised" short ribs, so tender it can be cut with a fork!
- VisitLauderdaleFebruary 25, 2014Pair your brunch with an “Eye Opener,” bottomless Bloody Mary’s or Mimosas.
The Tiger Trainer A WilliamsJuly 7, 2013California Spinach Salad was so delicious and filling on that humid evening.- VisitLauderdaleDecember 11, 2012Swing by on a Thursday night & snuggle up by the fireplace to make some s'mores.
