Coconuts

Coconuts pairs upscale coastal flavors with an easygoing South Florida attitude right on the water in Fort Lauderdale. Known for its signature garlic-butter crab claws called Scoobies, coconut shrimp, blackened mahi sandwiches, and Sunday brunch, the restaurant serves fresh seafood and tropical cocktails in a lively open-air setting overlooking the marina.

Well-behaved dogs are warmly welcomed on the outdoor waterfront deck, where servers bring out water bowls and handmade dog biscuits. Whether you arrive by car or pull up dockside after a day on the water, the breezy patio gives you and your canine sidekick a comfortable front-row seat to the sunset.
