Riley and Abdul ensured my first Santorini experience was unforgettable! From the kindness of the hostess to Riley's care and attention detail topped with Abdul's hospitality, this is an excellent choice on the water in the heart of Downtown Fort Lauderdale. With plenty of gorgeous waterfront seating and an indoor vibe with great music, the ambience is 10/10.
The food is well priced with excellent portions. The chicken kabob was plenty for two. Truly authentic Mediterranean experience.
My next visit will be for their Happy Hour which runs daily and known to be the best on Las Olas!

Went a week ago to have a dinner, and left disappointed.
I thought that baklava cheesecake would be awesome to try, but its just a cheap cheesecake with baklava layer on top. Meatballs were strange and kinda flavorless. Fish and ships was not crunchy enough at all, mostly wet and tasteless. The cherry on top was 20% service fee. Honestly for quick and slow service 20% is far too much.
Never again, will not recommend anyone.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Santorini in Fort Lauderdale is an absolute gem. The setting is beautiful and feels so authentic, right on the river, and the food was incredible.
Super authentic Greek, I lived in New York for a long time in a Greek neighborhood and this is the closest I’ve had since then!
A huge shoutout to Peter, the bartender, who was fantastic. He was incredibly attentive, personable, and seemed to notice what you needed before you even had to ask. It’s those little touches that turn a great meal into a genuinely memorable experience.
Amazing food, beautiful waterfront atmosphere, and exceptional hospitality. I would absolutely recommend Santorini — and if you’re sitting at the bar, Peter will take great care of you!

Food is mediocre. I have high standards for Greek food because I travel to Greece often, and not to the touristy places, so I know authentic Greek food.
The worst part is the lack of transparency about the menu and the server BS'ing us about it.
We ordered fried haloumi. The server said, ok saganaki. We said, not saganaki, we want the haloumi.
Comes the saganaki. Flamed. On the menu, only the saganaki says flamed.
And I know what saganaki looks like. Breaded cheese.
We asked, why is it flamed if it's not the saganaki. She said they're both flamed.
Then comes the check. It says fried haloumi saganaki.
So maybe they only had one dish. Then why not just say so rather than BS'ing so we don't end up with the dish we don't want.
Also, 20% tip is automatically included. So no incentive for the server to do a good job.
Definitely not coming back.
The food was absolutely delicious, the service was excellent, and the views were beautiful. Unfortunately, what should have been a wonderful dining experience was completely overshadowed by one major issue: dogs that were clearly not service animals were allowed to dine inside the restaurant.
To be clear, the restaurant does have an outdoor dining area where other guests were dining with their dogs, and that was completely fine. I have no issue with dogs being in the designated outdoor area. The problem was allowing non-service dogs inside the indoor dining area while people were trying to enjoy their meals.
It completely killed the vibe and took away from what otherwise would have been a fantastic experience. I completely understand accommodating legitimate service animals, but allowing regular pets inside an indoor restaurant is a different story.
The food, service, and atmosphere were otherwise excellent, which makes this especially disappointing. I would definitely consider returning if the restaurant addressed this issue.
Advice. Valet park at the Wharf and walk down.
