Yot Bar & Kitchen

Awesome brunch spot with a really great brunch menu and high quality servers. We had a group of seven and we’re running a bit late for our reservation, but when we arrived they made us feel extremely welcomed and as though they were excited to ~finally~ have us in their establishment. The bottomless drink menu is great and includes rosé and aperol spritz in addition to the traditional mimosa or Bloody Mary options, which was very refreshing 😉

Two weeks ago, I discovered a recent debutante restaurant sensation in Pompano named South Bar and Kitchen to learn that it is part of the SFL Hospitality Group owned by Mike Lender, and I learned that they also operate our acclaimed Canyon restaurant and YOT Bar ad Kitchen at 2015 SW 20th St, Ft laud. A quick Google, YOT pictures seduced me. Today, a visiting friend on business suggested lunch, and YOT immediately sprang to mind. We joined at noon. Set in the Safe Harbor marina haven on the New River, YOT's ambiance is impressive, remarkable, and amazing, reminiscent of the Boatyard restaurant on 17th St Causeway, but in a more laid-back setting. We opted for the outdoor lower deck under a sunny sky, shaded by blue patio umbrellas, embraced by a constant cool breeze, and surrounded by a fleet of mega-yachts worth over $2 billion. It was a moment of humility in the face of such opulence. The cuisine was consistently excellent. As a light drinker, I opted for iced tea, while my friends went for the watermelon mojito. We shared an Italian-meaty flatbread for an appetizer, followed by a grilled chicken sandwich with F-fries, a sautéed shrimp Caesar salad, and my choice—a delicious seasoned fried shrimp sandwich on a hot dog bun with F-fries. Overall, a delightful experience, though the only critique would be the dry hot dog bun (it wasn’t toasted, just dry). YOT has proven to be a worthy venue, and I'm excited to introduce it to my local foodies and my snowbird friends this winter season. Situated within a manned, gated business compound, YOT provides limited open parking (other spaces reserved for marina workers or visitors). However, they offer complimentary valet service. Expect average menu prices ranging from $18-25, excluding drinks, tax, and gratuity. Unfortunately, unaware, I had my phone camera on a different setting and some of my photos are blurred.

This place is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. The view is mesmerizing and you’d wish to spend more time there. There’s a parking fee of $5, the food is good but a bit too pricy. Overall, a evening well spent

Must-Try Brunch Spot: Yot Delivers Every Time! I've been to Yot multiple times, and every visit is a delightful experience that never disappoints. Beginning with our recent impromptu brunch, we arrived without a reservation and were pleasantly surprised to be seated instantly, outdoors, where the ambiance is always refreshing. For those who dread the hassle of finding parking in busy areas, Yot has got you covered with their valet service. It's these thoughtful touches that make dining here stress-free. An absolute steal is their $25 bottomless drinks deal. Whether you’re in the mood for zesty mimosas, a classic aperol spritz, elegant rosé, or a hearty bloody Mary, they've got an array of choices that will leave you spoilt. Onto the food: the smoked fish dip is a recurrent favorite of ours - a must-try. But what truly stands out and never fails to impress is the mahi-mahi sandwich. It's a flavorful experience that keeps us coming back for more. If you’re on the lookout for a casual dining spot that combines value, taste, and great service, Yot is undeniably the place to be. Highly recommended!

Definitely an excellent place to look the Marina and have a good meal! All the food here is good, specially the appetizers, really good calamari and flatbreads. If you have a boat ⛵ can park here! Impressive
