Harat's by the Sea

Nestled along the sparkling shores of Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, Harat's by the Sea is a vibrant seaside restaurant that masterfully blends fresh coastal cuisine with a lively, island-inspired atmosphere. From the moment you step inside or settle into the ample outdoor seating, you’re transported to a world where the ocean breeze mingles with the rich aromas of expertly prepared seafood and tantalizing cocktails.

Harat's culinary offerings proudly celebrate the bounty of the sea, showcasing standout dishes like the iconic Fish and Chips — perfectly crispy with a tender, flaky center — and their aromatic Seafood Paella, a colorful, savory mosaic of fresh shellfish and saffron rice that delights every bite. Fans of fresh and vibrant flavors will find themselves enchanted by the Ceviche, bursting with zesty citrus notes that brighten the palate, or the decadently chilled, briny Oysters, ideal for an elegant start. For those seeking a balance of comfort and creativity, the Orange Glazed Salmon dances between sweet citrus undertones and rich, flaky texture, while the Honolulu Flatbread offers a playful, tropical twist on the classic flatbread.

The menu also shines with fresh, colorful salads that are as nourishing as they are delicious. The Harats Burrata combines creamy burrata cheese with housemade pesto, heirloom cherry tomatoes, and peppery arugula — a harmonious bite served with crunchy artisan toast points and crispy prosciutto bacon. The Cesar Salad offers crispy hearts of romaine draped in garlicky parmesan dressing, with the option to add savory grilled chicken for an extra protein boost.

Brunch here is nothing short of a celebration. Sip on the Bottomless Mimosa, or indulge in expertly crafted cocktails like the velvety Espresso Martini energized with fresh espresso and smooth Tito’s vodka, or the refreshingly herbal Strawberry Basil Margarita. Whether it’s a leisurely weekend morning or a spirited afternoon, Harat's has a cocktail to suit every mood with offerings including Bloody Marys, Micheladas, and a variety of chilled bottled beers like Modelo Especial and Heineken.

The energy inside Harat's is as memorable as its cuisine. Guests have praised the live music and DJ sets that imbue the space with an island vibe, making each visit feel like a mini escape. Regular patrons, like the new local Dede Scharf, have found their “go-to” spot here, captivated not just by the outstanding food but by the warm hospitality from management and staff. Servers like Greg ensure every guest feels welcomed and well cared for, turning mere meals into memorable dining experiences.

Whether you're craving the luscious comfort of chicken wings, the zing of an avocado toast, or a sweet finish with inventive desserts paired with whimsical cotton candy, Harat's by the Sea delivers fresh, flavorful, and welcoming coastal dining that’s both have-it-all and deeply satisfying. It’s a place where friends gather, new connections are made, and every visit leaves you yearning to return.

Harat's by the Sea is more than a restaurant; it’s a seaside retreat where the tastes of the ocean and the spirit of community come alive with every bite and every song.
