“ Wow, I'm blown away by this place. The atmosphere is top notch. We sat inside but you can sit outside and have the cool ocean breeze. The service was phenomenal and our server was so attentive. Not only is the atmosphere amazing, the food was top quality. We had a sushi roll, octopus and pork ribs. Wow wow and wow! This will not be the last time we go! Go check this place out. It's definitely worth it. ”

“ I ate here a few years ago and I really enjoyed the edamame and some of the sushi rolls. My wife wasn't able to come with me the first time I visited so when the opportunity came and we both were free we made reservations. Making reservations was easy, even if you don't make reservations if they have space they will let walk ins in. We were running a few minutes behind and they still took us in. It was a Saturday afternoon and the place wasn't too crowded, just the right amount of people to enjoy the restaurant. Our waitress Adriana read our minds when we explained what we liked. A great restaurant has the employees taste all the food so they can make great recommendations. We told Adriana we like surprises and the rest was history. I picked two appetizers, the Korean fried chicken and the Edamame and Adriana recommended the octopus. The octopus was fresh with fresh flavors and delicious. The edamame had so much flavor that I'm craving it now. It was grilled and had togarashi seasoning on it. The Korean fried chicken was crispy and had a delicious dipping sauce. Adriana spoke to the Michelin rated sushi chef named Ped who walked over to introduce himself and get a feel for what me and wife were expecting. We mentioned to Ped that we go to a place in chicago (Tanoshi/sushi Mikes) that creates incredible sushi for us that's not on the menu and that we were looking for a similar experience. This guy blew our mind. I have never tasted sashimi as fresh as what I tasted. First you should know the seafood is flown overnight daily from Tokyo to S3. I cannot tell you what each fish was or the flavors I experienced but all I can say is wow . The freshest fish from Hawaii, Tokyo and Peru and other places around the world. The fish melted in our mouths like it was butter. As you can see from my photos, the presentation was over the top. Presentation is everything!!!! I cannot explain the taste. Fresh, buttery fish that's so fresh it doesn't taste like fish. The fatty tuna is my favorite but the chef created a new favorite for me. He made a Nigiri with foie gras that might be the best thing I have ever eaten in my life. Everything we ate was incredible and it would be very difficult to rate the Nigiri and Sashimi because of how close they are in their own uniqueness. We had a few rolls to top it all off and the arrow head was my favorite. All the rolls were delicious but the arrow head one won overall best. This place rocks. Several things are taken into consideration when I write a review, first is location and how hard was it to get there. There was parking on the side streets and we didn't have a hard time looking for a spot. Restaurant is across the street from the ocean so you get that ocean breeze that was lovely. The restaurant was big with big open doors overlooking the sand that leads to the beach. Customer service was top tier from the minute we walked in until we left. Everyone was friendly, bathrooms were clean, waitress had drinks constantly coming in. I never needed anything the entire time, they even brought me a hot towel so I could wash my hands before I began my culinary experience. To end our incredible experience, we had the coconut cake for dessert. That bad boy was awesome. It was enough for 4 people. It had a scoop of ice cream on the side and together with the cake it tasted like a pina colada. We were so happy we insisted on speaking with the manager to relay our satisfaction. Indy, the general manager took the time out of her busy schedule to talk to us and it really shows how much care, effort and hard work she has put into the restaurant. Overall, if you want an incredible experience and love amazing food, you have to visit and make sure you request Adriana as your waitress and let Ped know you want a meal to remember. ”

“ If you are looking for a great lunch spot with a magical view while on Ft. Lauderdale beach, then I cannot recommend S3 enough. Whenever I am down by the beach, I always pick S3 to stop by because I can count on good food, good service, and the best view. If you go, then I highly recommend that you sit outside. The outdoor sitting is very comfortable, the heat is not bad with the ocean breeze, and the view is unbeatable. The only downside for me is that S3 has a very seafood forward menu, and I am not a seafood lover. However, the burger is delicious! If you love seafood though, then you must check it out (and even if you don't like me)! ”

“ Food: 5/5 I visited S3 with a few of my coworkers. We tried the sushi, duck, rice, noodles, and desserts. Everything with fresh, flavorful, and presented nicely. Portions were modest but ok for sharing tapas style. The coconut cake was a large portion and very good. Service: 5/5 Our waitress was attentive, even on a busy night. Some of the dishes came served on large platters that took up a lot of table space, but our waitress did a good job keeping the table tidy. Cleanliness: 4/5 It seemed fairly clean although I will note that our table was noticeably sticky. This is likely partially due to humidity but also due to the varnish breaking down because of improper cleaning chemicals that are too harsh. Not a big deal at most restaurants, but for the price point, I would expect some of these details to be a little tighter. Atmosphere: 5/5 The resturant had a nice vibe and decor. It was super busy, even on a weekday. The patio was full with a large group. Value: 3/5 We racked up a large tab but I think most people would find the menu in line with Fort Lauderdale full service restaurants, which is higher than most other areas in the US. Overall, I had a positive experience. ”

“ In town for a day before heading on a cruise and staying at the hotel the restaurant is attached to . The food was excellent and recommended by the staff of the hotel . I was able to make a reservation for inside dining fairly quickly and no wait to be seated . It was loud , but a great atmosphere . The Bowls and excellent and the sushi was good . The staff were friendly and pleasant. I'd go back and recommend to others . ”

“ I went specifically for the burratta and was not disappointed! It was massive, fresh, and filled me up for a light lunch. Service was exceptional and just an all around pleasant experience ”

“ this place was wonderful. Went with some work friends. The food from start to finish was on par. I was having so much fun that I did not take any pictures or pay much attention. But I do wanna say I enjoyed the service and the ambience. ”

“ We decided to order a bunch of random stuff and share it. Everything came out quickly and was delicious. The menu has a great variety of options and a good mix of seafood and non seafood options. Their specials all sounded delicious but the appetizer special sold out so we weren't able to try it but we did like the entree special which was the salmon. Our server was amazing and attentive. She checked on us throughout the night and was quick to bring out our drinks from the bar. We sat on the patio which was perfect for a summer evening. The team does move fast when the evening showers come in. ”
