"This place reminds me of all the wonderful small, mom and pop French places that the Ft. Lauderdale area used to have--only a bit bigger and with a bit more kitchen prowess going for it. It deserves your patronage and we'd best continue to go there or it too will be gone like all those lovely other sweet, friendly French restaurants."

"We had a really good experience at Boillabaisse. Food was very good, the service was not great but good.
The menu was little confusing, as it mentioned all the times as one whole menu for the night, but was not clear if it was either or to pick and choose.
We ended having to pick one item from the appetizers and one from the main course, others had the whole menu for the night. I guess was not clear for all the staff, neither for us.

"Amazing French food. It was Valentine's day so we did have to wait for our table even though we had a reservation, but that happens on that particular day. Place is nice and cozy, probably seating for 40, good selection of wines, friendly staff. The pre-set menu for Valentine's had options for all tastes, traditional French of course so don't expect chicken tenders. But silly as it may sound what delighted me the most is that in spite of how busy they were even my fillet mignon was cooked to perfection. Definitely going again and recommending it to my friends."

"The food at Bouillabaisse was absolutely delicious. From the fresh warm bread, to mussels appetizer, main course specials, and dessert. If it was physically possible to eat more, I certainly would have.
Service is only docked in this review because of a rather odd incident involving a reservation. Without going into detail and outside of that, the staff is very attentive and my wine glass was always full. Timing between dishes was perfect as well.
The restaurant is small and inviting, though this is typical of the few French places I've visited.
I would absolutely visit again and highly recommend this spot. Make sure to book a reservation before simply showing up."

"We all enjoyed dinning here and would come back for special occasions. The food was outstanding but very pricy. The waiters were nice and very informative, but scarce at times. The four of us did enjoy our dinning experience here."

"food was excellent and service was excellent. very french and i liked it. the only problem i saw was the rack of lamb was very small 4 pieces for 40 bucks. i didn't think it a good value. i have ordered an appetizer at tj's for lamb that was twice as many at half the price and just as good. they just need to take a look at that. it is a very comfortable and friendly place."
