Dune Fort Lauderdale Reviews from The Last Year
This place is amazing.
Great staff great location. Well class food is my favorite favorite place in Fort Lauderdale.
Dune is a stunning restaurant right on the beach.
I love the vibe, views and food/drinks. The crispy rice is a must order!! It's so delicious and the tuna entree is so good and always perfectly cooked. Highly recommend dune for a date night spot or a place to grab food and drinks with friends! They have a good happy hour by the bar as well and their spicy margarita and watermelon cocktail are the best!
Ruden, Antony, and Dunes made my whole Sunday.
We went for my Sister's 50th Birthday celebration and let me tell you a time was had. We were welcomed by Ruden who even took the time to move the table in a bit so we wouldn't be burned by the sun. The food was amazing, the service excellent, the view phenomenal we were seated outside. Antony and Ruden though the service, politeness, fun, welcoming personalities with a smile OMG took this dining experience over the top. Thank you Dune what a beautiful restaurant and experience.
Good place by the beach
Food is good. Outside tables by the beach give you the sense of South Florida. The combination of location, service, and food, make this place a good restaurant for dinner
Absolutely loved this place! Great view! It's a busy spot,
Absolutely loved this place! Great view! It's a busy spot, but still it is very peaceful. Service is great. Staff is on point! Food is 5 stars! Dips, short bread, pasta - everything.... Highly recommend this place!
Amazing food and service.
My friends and I felt very welcomed and taken care of by the server, manager, and the rest of the staff. I actually made a Yelp account just to review this place, loved it.
Terrible service but nice sommelier & good food
My wife and I went to Dune as we heard the food was excellent and had a great patio setting. The food was amazing and the setting was great as well. The service though was really bad. Our waitress was really nice but just not cut out to be a server. We sat in a booth and our wine was across the booth so it was awkward to keep getting up from the table to pour our wine. I waited for the waitress but after a long time shuffled around the table and poured our wine. This happened through our entire dinner as our waitress went missing . We also had a big mixup with the wine. Mondays is half off bottles of wine between 100 to 200 bottles. Nobody told us this which was frustrating. A big positive along with the food quality was Joey the Sommelier reaching out personally after the fact to rectify the situation.. That was appreciated ! We will come back and hoping for better service next time as the food really is excellent.
Beautiful restaurant, great decor and ambiance and right on
Beautiful restaurant, great decor and ambiance and right on the beach makes it a great place for drinks with friends. Went for Saturday Brunch and the menu looked great, but the food was meh! I ordered the lobster salad that for $42 I was expecting more,- more flavor, a better dressing etc.... Lobster was fresh and delicious but the salad needed more umph! Have had many lobster salads -pricier and cheaper and they were better. Definitely want to go back and have dinner to see if they get that right... I have hope! I have no problem paying $$$ for food but it needs to be worth it, definitely something better than I can make at home. Now drinks, they did that right! I had the coconut margarita and that was very good. Not as good as the one the Condado in Puerto Rico makes, but it was a close second.
This is my new favorite in Fort Lauderdale for excellent
This is my new favorite in Fort Lauderdale for excellent food in a great atmosphere. It is rare to find great food on the beach and this delivered. The filet was perfectly prepared and the sides complimented it well. My husband had the Osso Buco (special) and it was rich and flavorful. Definitely will be returning.
Dinner
My wife and I come to the bar often. Always been very happy with service and food. Last time we were there, we were told we didn't need reservations for bar lounge area. We came with guests and took a booth next to bar, and was told by Maitre D, (Camilla) table needed reservations. We then moved to a lounge area outside. After having a drink, the wind was a little too much for us. Waitress was able to get table inside. I really wish Maitre D would have offered an alternative table from start. Not very accommodating.....Our server at the table was great. Everyone enjoyed thier food. I had a problem with my Stone Crabs.....no remoulade. Was given mayo, instead. Never ate Stone Crabs without remoulade, ever.. Didn't enjoy it!
Amazing food and service and the view was out of this
Amazing food and service and the view was out of this world! The crispy rice steak tartar was perfect. Also reccommend the sushi!
Food and service was great, Claudia was an amazing server.
Definitely coming back! The sunset was beautiful
I was extremely disappointed by this restaurant especially
I was extremely disappointed by this restaurant especially since it is a relatively expensive place to dine. You would think that a restaurant along the beach would have a variety of seafood options but there was only a few and we were told explicitly that the chef refuses to substitute or vary from the preparation which severely limited the options. We had a party of 6 and 2 out of the 6 loved their pasta dishes but at $64 and $39 for pasta, I would hope they would. The rest of the party was pretty disappointed by their selections. But the worst part of the night was the service. We had a party of 6 and only 4 water glasses and the waiter never brought more so we had to share until we ran out. We had to locate our own silverware also as nobody brought any to two diners. The waiter took our orders never to return to get more cocktails, water etc. or ask how food was. I gave two stars because it is a very pretty restaurant but our table was out of the nicer area and really diminished the experience. And the outside bartender was very kind and attentive. In hindsight we should have eaten at the bar. Understanding you pay for ambiance at the beach but for the price of dinners and cocktails I definitely expected better quality food and service.
Excellent service (by Michael), Lovely food, fun dessert
Excellent service (by Michael), Lovely food, fun dessert (baked Alaska !), great wine selection and beautiful decor. Perfect place to celebrate special occasions. Happy hour at the outdoor bar is also great fun with very nice small bites while enjoying a great view on the ocean.
I have to start this review off with how awesome the
I have to start this review off with how awesome the service was. Our server was phenomenal, perfect timing on the meal and very attentive. That really makes a difference in today's "service lite" environment. The support service was also on point. Food/drink runners, bussers, hosts...the whole team worked really well together. Five star service! The space is really nice, beach, elegant, fresh, modern and very clean. Both bars were so cool and we'll definitely be back for cocktails soon. The food is great. The baked feta and honey was top notch. The chopped salad was perfect. I had one of the flatbreads as my entree and it was plenty of food. The rest of the menu was well-rounded and great options for vegetarians. The cocktail menu was interesting and diverse, perfect for a beach spot. The wine list was eclectic if not a bit over-priced. I will say Dune is pricey for what it is. While I'm sure we'll be back, definitely for cocktails, we'll likely have to reserve Dune for special occasions. Everything was worth the price, so not a complaint.
41/2 stars! Great service, fantastic location, good drinks,
41/2 stars! Great service, fantastic location, good drinks, good food! Very nice for dinner occasions or happy hour. Hard to find on the ocean. The view of the ocean cannot be beat!
My visit to Dune was nothing short of delightful.
The ambiance of the restaurant was both inviting and comfortable, providing an excellent backdrop to a memorable meal. The star of the evening, however, was our server, Romel. He was the epitome of professionalism, balancing attentiveness with respect for our dining experience. Romel demonstrated a deep knowledge of the menu, guiding us through the various dishes with ease and making excellent recommendations. The service we received from Romel significantly enhanced our dining experience. His friendly demeanor and dedication to ensuring we had a wonderful time at Dune truly stood out. Overall, Dune has left a lasting impression on me. It's a place where the quality of food and service merge to create a truly enjoyable dining experience. I look forward to returning and would highly recommend this restaurant to others.
Dune is a world class restaurant that exudes elegance upon
Dune is a world class restaurant that exudes elegance upon entering the establishment and throughout the experience. Service abounds from reception, to bar staff to servers and the food is beyond expectation. Myriad choices and amazing presentation make the experience exquisite.
Spectacular ambiance, good food and the service team works
Spectacular ambiance, good food and the service team works hard to please. Management leaves a great deal to be desired. I was told to box and bag a take out order. Weak! Management can take lessons on exceptional customer service from Mastro's, Trulucks and Vitolo. Sad that this could be an exceptional place if Management knew what Customer Service means!
The service is atrocious & the Sommelier is a very dishonest person
This is really unfortunate as the food was excellent but I know I'm not the 1st person to complain about the dishonest staff that work here, friends of ours had a similar experience. We went on a Monday night and were really excited as we heard the food and patio setting were great. Quite honesty both the setting and food were amazing. Our server was super nice but just not good at her job. I actually got up and served our wine during dinner as nobody came around. I was really interested in ordering some high end bottles of wine as it was a special occasion. When the sommelier came over I was shocked that he was talking me out of ordering some bottles that were in the $130 to $180 range. Weirdly he kept insisting we order a bottle that was just under 100 dollars. He also didn't know much about the wines on the menu just that we should order the bottle that was around 96 dollars. Later on the manager came over and apologized for the slow service. She then asked us how we were enjoying the 50% off wine Monday they were having. She told us all wine between 100 to 200 dollars were half price. I was really pissed off when she said this and I knew why the Sommelier was pushing us on the wine that was not part of the promotion. Why sell a bottle for half price when you can get full price. In his mind we are already there dinning so know need to sell a 150 dollar bottle for 75 when these suckers will drink a lesser bottle for 96 bucks. Anyways , total bad guy move. As much as we like the food and setting we won't go back a D support dishonest people.
STAY AWAY! HORRIBLE MANAGEMENT
Horrible experience with the manager of the restaurant. My father had a $250 gift card that I gave him 2 years ago. The manager would not honor it saying it was now called Dune by Laurent not Dune by Auberge which was on the gift card. Same name, same location in the Auberge building but she couldn't figure out how to accommodate the customer. I told her, as the manager, she had the ability to make it right for her customer but she chose not to. She clearly should not be in a management position if she can't be empowered to do the right thing and wouldn't honor it. The customer is clearly not the priority here. Stay away
Valet Almost Ruined My Evening
Parking at the restaurant is $9 which is a surprise at this high end restaurant but the outrageous behavior of the valet at the counter was the inability to make change of a $20 bill for a tip because “one of his guys had the key to the lock box”. In addition the valet did not even suggest going back into the restaurant for change. Lastly the parking payment system is automated for payment by credit card but no ability to add a tip. If anyone chooses to go here use Uber or Lyft for convenience and better service.
Bad service
We had high expectations when we arrived due to the environment being very welcoming and up with the times, however we were quickly disappointed. Whilst the steak that we ordered was lovely the rest of the food was sub optimal. The most disappointing part of the evening was the service this really left a lot to be desired and was really non existent we even had to keep getting up to pour our own prosecco which was on the other side of the table. All in all it was a very disappointing experience and one we would not want to repeat sadly.
Warning!! Do not waste your money!! Terrible food and rude management.
Do not waste your money!! This was the worst experience we have ever had at what was supposed to be an upscale restaurant! The only thing upscale about it were the prices. We were fortunate that no one got sick from the fishy octopus. When we spoke to the manager (a French woman who obviously has spent too much time in the sun) we were treated disrespectfully. Even the drinks were sub par. I can’t say enough about how bad it was. The view was great but you can get that for free.
Truly first class
Excellent service and exquisite food made for a lovely evening. The fish mains were beautifully presented and delicious. The cocktails were excellent too. Due to a storm we sat indoors but this was no problem as the decor and fittings are all superb.
Worse experience in the XXI Century
I was a big fan of your restaurant, after my first visit in February of this year. The reason I chose your restaurant at that time was for the great location, delicious food, and great decorations. It was these same reasons that made me choose your restaurant to celebrate my birthday last Saturday. Unfortunately, I had a bitter experience in your place. It all started when I arrived at the host area. The hostess at the front desk was cold, distant, and fake. She appeared to not hide her disdain upon my arrival. I arrived at the area and another group of women arrived at the same time. Instead of saying hello [and saying that she would be with me in a few minutes], the hostess turned her head toward the two women who arrived at the same time. I immediately backed off and waited for my turn. When the lady at the host area attended to me, I told her about my reservation which she found. She asked if I expected somebody else to join me which I confirmed. Afterward, she told me to wait for my party at the bar. I went to the indoor bar and sat down (at 6:44 pm) in the middle of the bar area where everybody could see me except for the bartenders [two Caucasians; one man and one woman] who should acknowledge my presence but decided to ignore me. I tried on several occasions to notify the bartenders after I found a menu on the counter and decided what drink to order. This occurred while I was waiting for my friend to join me for dinner. The bartenders ignored me yet they attended to other clients around me. I waited patiently for the bartenders to finish with the clients to ask them for the drink that I wanted to order but they ignored me. I started to feel uncomfortable and neglected. I looked around and noticed that everybody was Caucasian. I don’t usually complain about being discriminated against for my ethnicity, but something was wrong in that area that made me think that the bartenders [and other employees] didn’t want to serve me. After 10 minutes of attempting to get the bartender's attention, I finally raised my voice and called one of them. The female bartender approached me, without apologizing, and took my order quickly in a rushing matter. A minute after my friend arrived and we were escorted to our table, I felt relieved. At the same time, I never felt so much urgency to leave a place as that night at your restaurant. I just want to make this review for those who are interested in making this world [including South Florida] a place where everybody, [who can afford it], is able to enjoy nice places. This is a melting pot territory where everybody can enjoy an establishment [without regard to race and ethnicity] if they can afford it. I think if somebody doesn’t feel capable to accept that other races and ethnicities different than Caucasians can be at the same socioeconomic level as them, they should move back to those states that are a century behind when it comes to race [and ethnicity] relations. I felt that I wasted my beautiful and special birthday celebration in a place where some of the employees are racist.
Dinner on the Ocean
From the moment you walk in the aesthetic is just so very beautiful. You are welcomed by hostesses, who generally are happy to see you. The beautiful bar and dining room-just magnificent. We were taken outside to a table that sat right out of the ocean. Happy smiles everywhere! Our server, Kaylee, the manager Francois could not have been more gracious. Every bite every sip was just delicious. The sushi was a 10/10! The flatbread, soufflé, grilled octopus, burger, shrimp scampi & key lime cheesecake all divine! We cannot wait to return.
Chef needs to up his game!
We have been to Dune a few times. Beautiful ambience! Service was excellent (Robert). However, the food needs improvement! There are many dishes to choose from but there always seems to be something missing in the flavor or taste. The key lime cheese cake was blah, the key lime gelato was too tart. The crust was good and meringue was good. We have been to a few other “chef named restaurants” in the area and have not found them to be memorable. If you want ambience Dune is great. Appetizers and wine are a safe bet.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Just got scammed!
Thats unfortunate but you can always get your money back if they cancel the reservation.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
