Dine Out Lauderdale 2026 — decoded

Every prix fixe dish priced against the restaurant's regular menu, portion-adjusted, across all 16 Dine Out categories.

How to read this. "Worth" is what the same dishes would cost à la carte at that restaurant, with portions adjusted — a 4-piece appetizer is priced against a 4-piece share of the regular 8-piece order, not the whole thing. All figures are before tax and tip. Paid add-ons (wine pairings, upcharges) are excluded; genuinely included drinks/sides are counted.

"Order this" is the highest-value pick in each course — usually the most expensive dish on the menu, which is the point. Switch to the Full menu tab on any card to see every option in every course with its own everyday price, and pick for yourself.

Hours & days. The day strip (M T W T F S S) shows which days each special is served, read from the hours the restaurant published for that tier. Filtering by a day never hides a tier whose days weren't published — those are kept in the results and counted separately, since we can't rule them in or out. Always call ahead for a weekend booking.

Confidence. A green dot means every price came off the restaurant's own current menu. Grey means the restaurant publishes no prices anywhere and the numbers are benchmarked estimates — real for ranking, not for arguing over.
