I have been to Bahia cabana many times. Never loved the place but it served its purpose. My father and I would take his boat for lunch. Good dock. So when we Made reservations for 25 people for a birthday party for our large family we figured it would be perfect because our family was all staying at a hotel across the street. We have Several kids, every adult drinks, we tip well. Reservation was for 7:30pm on a Saturday night, but given the timing it was no problem 2 weeks out. Come to the date, we all arrive together promptly to find out our reservation was already checked in, as a bachelorette party who stole our reservation. Now we find out, not only did they STEAL our reservation and claim to be a name they were not, they didnt like area we selected to sit, in the air conditioned/fanned area that was private from the rest of the restaurant but had no real view. They gave it up and moved out to the dock at some picnic tables. If this werent frustrating enough, they have already sat our reserved area with several other large parties. So here we stand, 25 people, 3 strollers, in 96 degrees with nowhere to sit. They offer us the area they dont use on the dock, right next to this bachelorette party. Needless to say this was too hot for our party, one of whom was pregnant. We prepared. We planned ahead. The restaurant now tries another option, put tables together in the main dining area(where we did not want to sit from the start due to our large party size) they squeeze us in. We had to bribe a bar back $20 to get us another fan due to the heat, which I know they did not create, just couldnt accommodate us. You would think the night could only get better? Youre wrong! What happened next you ask? Well we sat around 8:30 and after explaining to the waitress how she can split us up into three checks in a way that did not completely confuse her(it was simple, so was she) we finally order our first beverage. Only took 10-15 min to get that drink! Another 20 to get the rest of the table ready to order some food. We knew they were busy and underprepared so we tried to order promptly. Our food literally came out two meals at a time and 10 min apart. It was weird. None of that made sense. At that point, I had several drinks and was able to handle the constant failure occurring every few minutes in front of me. We left the restaurant around 10:15, couldnt wait. Literally just wanted to run out of there by this point. The server was sweet and tried hard but its like the restaurant was just ok with failing left and right. They sent our food out to the table and just stood at the first table and would mumble the name of the meal hes holding. We then would shout stand up and walk around to figure out whos food it was. Rather than the people who are getting paid to do this. Will say, beautiful view for sunset! Thats about all Its got going for it. I can confidently say, I will never be back. And neither will 24 others...

What happened to this place. Being a local we always came here. Best fish dip anywhere. Fish tacos were off the chain. Menu had a wide selection. Get there tonight and knew they had new owners from last time we were there. Menu is now about 12 items. No more fish dip. No conch fritters but at least they had the fish tacos. Took one bit and wife and I looked at each other and said way to salty. Not edible. Told the waitress we are leaving and asked for our check. She came back and said dont worry about it. I left her a tip. We saw other people sit down look at the menu and get up and leave. What are these new owners thinking. Or should I say not thinking. When you take over a place you try to keep it the same or make it better. These morons destroyed a great place. We will not be back. So much for never using our preferred customer card again.

Ive been going there since the beginning of time but not in the past year. I went there 6/21/17 and could not believe the menu. Chucky Cheese has a better menu. There is hardly anything. I think that there are about 6 appetizers and 7 meue items. NOTHING! My wife and I shared an order of fish and chips and the couple we went with each had an order of the same. Between all of us we had 3 rumrunners and a glass of wine, our bill was 127 without a tip. Our server was great. We felt sorry for her so we took care of her. I dont know what their business plan is but unless Im dying for some pretty plain expensive fish and chips I wont be going back.

My fiance bragged about this place, he hasnt been here in a few yrs. Well we walked there for dinner tonight with our 9yr old and 3yr old grandson. There was no kid menu and the regular menu is just a thick piece of paper one page. Their drink menu is bigger than the food menu. Great atmosphere for adults that just want to drink n maybe get something to eat.

Four stars mostly for the view, but the ice cold drinks are always welcome. One of our favorite spots to visit when in Fort Lauderdale and one of the first we hit. Located just steps from the beach makes a perfect spot to rehydrate ;-) As well, the Fort Lauderdale water taxi has one of its stops right there. Highly recommended!

THIS is a Top 10 spot?? Outside of the scenery the food was average and it took forever to get it. On top of that our waitress from Boston (accent) was unprofessional and cursed at us. We just laughed it off, but Ive never been a part of something like that. Go somewhere else, you can do much better. Not recommended!

The Food was average at Best...Menu for lunch was tiny and not the one of the site...Yelp Coupon they had up was expired and my salad I asked for Fish and Chicken and only got the fish...A microwaved Grilled Chicken breast came out 5 minutes later...Dont waste your time

Horrible service. Ask for a Heineken, got a Heineken light. Order a cheese steak with no mushrooms, full of mushrooms. The wait between getting attention was ridiculous.

The food isnt anything out of this world but its not bad. We ordered some chicken tenders, fries, and a quesadilla. Food was par but I must say my drink was fantastic.
