With the opening of\u00a0Catch &amp; Cut, folks no longer have to travel below the county line to enjoy the steamed, chilled and fresh-cracked delicacy. Helmed by Andr\u00e9 Bienvenu, the former executive chef at Joe\u2019s, Catch &amp; Cut churns out buttery sweet Florida stone crab claws and other surf and turf delights in a beautiful two-story space on Las Olas Boulevard.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The vibe: The ample restaurant channels Joe\u2019s with its nostalgic checkered tiles, white tablecloths and dramatic chandeliers, but this is decisively a modern spot with a buzzy atmosphere and a rooftop terrace that overlooks the\u00a0pretty\u00a0boulevard below.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The food: Of course, the chef\u2019s pedigree requires an order of stone crab. But the sushi selection here is also top-notch, full of zingy crudos, fatty salmon belly nigiri and more. Steaks are sourced from Allen Brothers and pair with solid sides like lobster mac and au gratin potatoes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The drink: Cocktails are speakeasy-inspired, meaning they strive (and succeed) at going beyond the basic vodka-sodas and sugary mojitos you\u2019d find on the beach.\u00a0There are well-balanced signatures and cool classics, like\u00a0the Boulevardier, a riff on the Negroni that swaps gin for rye in this case. The in-house somms will also happily guide your wine selections.<\/p>\n<p>Time Out tip: The Sunday brunch experience (noon to 3pm; $49 per person) includes a rotating selection of passed hors d\u2019oeuvres like lobster cones and mini crab cakes, plus a choice of two entrees. Snag a table on the upstairs terrace and take in the street below, ideally with a cocktail in hand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you grew up in Fort Lauderdale, there\u2019s a pretty good chance you\u2019ve heard of Joe\u2019s Stone Crab\u2014if&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":141879,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[249,251,250,68735,14161,687,68853],"class_list":{"0":"post-141878","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fort-lauderdale","8":"tag-fort-lauderdale","9":"tag-fort-lauderdale-headlines","10":"tag-fort-lauderdale-news","11":"tag-more-recommended","12":"tag-price","13":"tag-restaurants","14":"tag-restaurants-steakhouse"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141878","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=141878"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141878\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/141879"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=141878"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=141878"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=141878"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
