The food isn’t just great - it is seriously amazing. Dishes that I’ve loved all my life - made even better than I could have ever imagined. Try the calamari - you will not be sorry. And do not miss the ceviche. Service is friendly and professional. Just a fantastic experience all around.

We had dinner at Casa Playa while on our annual Ft. Lauderdale vacation. The food and service was excellent. We’ve eaten at most of the restaurants in the area, and this has been one of the best meals I’ve had down here - drinks, apps, entrees and desserts were all perfect!

All the food was excellent. We had the octopus, mussels, steak with chimichurri sauce, and sea bass. All of it was excellent. Laid back atmosphere and the live entertainment (guitar) was great. Must visit if you’re in Ft Lauderdalr

Casa Playa in Fort Lauderdale is a fantastic spot! I had the grilled chicken, and it was seriously delicious. The chicken was super juicy, topped with fresh salsa that gave it a nice kick, and the sides of yellow rice and sweet plantains rounded it all out perfectly. The vibe here is really chill and welcoming – the kind of place where you just want to kick back and enjoy a great meal. Whether you’re there for the food or just a drink, Casa Playa’s got the perfect mix of flavor and atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area!
