Plaza Bistro Dba Bistro By The Beach

Late lunch after New Year’s Eve bash. Can’t say enough about this place. Friendly service and delicious food. Had a trio of Mahi Mahi tacos accompanied by crispy shoe-string fries. The tacos were just right but I should have added some hot sauce. The fries had just the exact amount of dirty oil flavour to bring back wonderful childhood memories. This may turn off some but I was relishing in the experience. Don’t know the name of the fellow who ran the show but he was very kind and friendly. The atmosphere on the patio was chill and the music was a fabulous mix of old and new but all with a very soothing groove. Highly recommend this wonderful little spot!

This place is an absolute hidden gem and one of those rare spots that instantly feels like home. It’s the perfect escape from the beach crowds, traffic, and nonstop tourist energy — calm, welcoming, and truly community-driven. The hospitality here is exceptional. The staff and owners are warm, attentive, and genuinely care about the experience. You’re not rushed, you’re not treated like a number — you’re treated like a regular, even on your first visit. And the food is outstanding. The mahi tacos are a must — fresh, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. Breakfast is equally impressive, with great options that are consistently fresh, well-portioned, and thoughtfully prepared. Whether it’s coffee and breakfast in the morning or lunch later in the day, everything feels made with care. Between the relaxed outdoor seating, amazing food, and authentic hospitality, this place stands out as a true neighborhood favorite. If you’re looking for great food, great people, and a break from the usual chaos, this spot delivers every time.

Avocado toast delicious , food is cooked to order & fresh. Service is friendly, location is perfect. Definitely worth a couple of visits when in area.

I absolutely love Gunner! Great avocado toast! Yummm. Sliders are made by heavens hands with scrumptious fries. Unbelievable service and food! FRESH COOKED WHILE YOU ENJOY THE OCEAN BREEZE...

It tastes sooo good! Best taco shell! It's cooked to well done on the griddle, and has perfect flaky texture (NOT deep fried crispy texture). This is the first time I saw this type of taco shell, as most of them are soft. The chicken inside has the same type of texture, and matches the shell so well. Highly recommend it!

Spectacular place to grab food. We were staying around the corner so I was here first with my sisters to try the Mahi tacos they were spectacular. On my last morning I stopped over for my breakfast proteins and that was great too. Not as expensive as most breakfasts nearby if you are the eggs and bacon sort. I wish they would add breakfast tacos. Highly recommend.

This is the best find in Ft. Lauderdale. Gunner makes an amazing plate and mimosa! And definitely don’t skip the iced coffee!! 10x better than you’ll get at the nearby popular chain. The food, the atmosphere, Gunner..all added to the charm and deliciousness of this cute outdoor spot! Hands down a fantastic breakfast I’ll be talking about for years!

What an awesome experience to try and sit back and enjoy some excellent fresh cooked up food , great wine , enjoyed talking with the owner Gunner & his wife - had a great time having some dinner & some great live music as well as also had a real deal healthy breakfast the next day . If we are in that area or even close we will definitely go there . We were around the corner with family at a hotel for labor day - Definitely try the salmon with Lobster sauce ( it is amazing
