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.
We are new to Fort Lauderdale and have struggled finding the place we can call our go to place . We stumbled on Harat’s and WOW! We have been here every weekend for the last three weekends . Everything we have tried is top notch! The deserts served with cotton candy is so exciting. The management and staff are incredible. Being in a new city and not knowing anyone is the worst right now? When we come here it’s like friends we’ve know for ever . And for me that’s worth everything. Do yourself a favor and check them out ASAP
This local spot really added some spice to their entertainment, and it shows. The Colors of Music were on point from start to finish. Alvin is absolutely great at his craft. Whoever made the decision to bring this in made a great move. It truly made us feel like we were in the islands and added a special, vibrant touch.. Such a refreshing upgrade to the overall vibe. Ashlyn was a great host as well and the rest of the staff.
If you are looking for a great place to eat, this is it! Food was fresh and delicious, it also came out quickly. There was a DJ which gave a fun atmosphere. Plenty of outdoor seating, indoor seating, and especially bar seating. I got the penne pasta and added chicken. For dessert, we got the lava cake and we were definitely not disappointed. Our server Greg was the best! Thank you for your hospitality!
We decided to try this place on a whim and Im so glad. The hostess was friendly and seated us right away, we picked two seats at the bar area....the bar tender was friendly and attentive and very efficient, my girlfriend wanted to have 1/2 dozen raw oysters, I've never tried them before. I ordered fish tacos and truffle fries. The food didn't take too long and everything came out fresh I had 3 oysters and she had one of the tacos. We loved everything, the tacos were amazing, the truffle fries were the perfect side and the oysters were so good and hit the spot. I would definitely come back and try something else from their menu, it all looks good.
Our server was amazing and the food was delicious. It also wasn’t too expensive. The fried calamari was good, it did not stand out significantly tastes just like any other calamari. The shrimp tacos, were good as well. The shrimp was soft and had great texture. It did contain too much cheese for my liking. The Grouper Sandwich was delicious, the fish was soft and fries were pretty good. The mid-atlantic oysters, were really good and sweet. Some of the oysters contained medium large meat, but others lacked meat at all. If an oyster lacked meat I wish they wouldn’t have served it cause it was little to none. Overall, great experience. The food was delicious and our server was amazing. Definitely will be back!
I come here for brunch often but also came in for dinner a few times. Most of the time there is a spot open at the bar. Great drinks and great food. And very clean. Walkable to anything around. Great spot
