The Best of the Restaurants
The best of the restaurants in Pompano & the surrounding area
My favorites are Oceanic, Beach House, Lucky Fish (can't et enough), Baresco right across the street. Whenever I am in the area I can't wait to go to these 4 restaurants & they are so close!
Make reservations as this is prime time and there will be long waits. The good news is, each of these restaurants have great bars to spend time waiting. Most take reservations.
​
For the restaurants over the introacoastal or at the Sands, you can take the Circuit (see transportation page)
​
For Blue Moon or Shooters in Lauderdale, you can take the water taxi (see transportation page) - keep in mind you need a time slot of 4-5 hours (entire water taxi route back and forth is 3 hrs)
