Pier Top Lounge

As locals who’ve lived here for 30 years, we finally made it up to Pier Top and were amazed by the views. The full rotation takes about an hour, so you slowly take in the entire waterfront and skyline which is amazing! I got the oyster with caviar, great oyster and good caviar quality, and the short rib bao, which was good. For drinks, we had the Sake to Me and the Vice & Virtue, both were really good. It’s a great spot with a unique experience for a special occasion. The atmosphere was great, though service was a bit inattentive. Drinks were great but overall everything was a bit overpriced.

The food was very average, I think with a change of menu it could really be a hit. The drinks were great the atmosphere is unbelievable I could definitely say it’s one of the best panoramic views in Fort Lauderdale. Overall this could be a 5 star place but they rely heavily on view and not enough on food or experience.

Growing up in Fort Lauderdale, Pier 66 was always more than a restaurant — it was a landmark. I grew up hearing stories about the fabulous rotating dining room with sweeping panoramic views of the city, so experiencing Pier Top 66 for my birthday felt like stepping into a piece of Fort Lauderdale history brought back to life. The room completes a full rotation every 66 minutes, powered by a motor with just two horsepower. The sheer feat of engineering is worth experiencing alone. As the room slowly turns, downtown glows in the distance, boats move through the waterways below, and the city lights seem to unfold around you. I actually love that Pier Top 66 has been reimagined as a luxury lounge. With 66 minutes to experience the full rotation and so many incredible dinner options in Fort Lauderdale, this is the perfect place to end your evening with cocktails, seafood and small bites. And the food absolutely delivered. I had a perfectly crisp dirty martini with blue cheese-stuffed olives and oysters served over ice with crème fraîche, chives, caviar and EDIBLE GOLD! The bao buns were pillowy, slightly spicy and generously portioned. The shrimp cocktail was incredible — absolutely MASSIVE shrimp served beautifully chilled over ice. We finished with a dessert trio of mango cheesecake, macaron and opera cake. Martin at the bar was incredible. Warm, attentive and engaging, he elevated the entire experience. In a place where the view could easily be the star, Martin reminded us that exceptional hospitality is what makes an evening truly memorable. The only thing lacking was more time to take it all in. Pier Top 66 carries something you simply cannot manufacture: legacy. It is engineering, history, cocktails, seafood, hospitality and old Fort Lauderdale glamour wrapped into one 66-minute revolution above the city I call home. 10/10. If you don’t enjoy this experience, I’m convinced you ordered the wrong things. Get the martini. Get the oysters. Get the seafood. Ask for Martin. Stay for the full rotation. And watch Fort Lauderdale sparkle beneath you. ✨

Caught the cities wide 4th of July firework displays show here, so pretty! The drinks are great and the DJ was a whole vibe. The only con was the appetizer options, very limited/minimal and too specialized. The bao buns were good though but def overpriced. Will return again for the bar and the views.

The atmosphere and views are absolutely phenomenal, truly the highlight of the experience. Unfortunately, the rest didn’t quite match up. The food selection was limited and underwhelming, especially for the price point. While the staff was kind, service felt a bit inattentive, we often had to flag someone down for simple things like sugar or spoons for tea. Everything is significantly overpriced, and the Easter “Mad Hatter” tea party was especially disappointing. The food options were sparse and not enjoyable, and getting any flexibility (like ordering from the regular menu) felt unnecessarily difficult. Overall, it felt less like a full experience and more like you’re paying solely for the view, which, while beautiful, didn’t justify the cost. For visual- the photos I shared here and 2 mocktails made the bill $358....including tip... disappointing.
