The Terrace Grill

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Where Fort Lauderdale Comes to the Table

The Terrace Grill is part of The Dalmar, a hotel that has made dining one of its defining features in downtown Fort Lauderdale. Sitting at 299 N. Federal Highway, the property houses five distinct culinary destinations, each with its own character — and the whole operation earned a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2021, a recognition that reflects a genuine commitment to the table, not just the room.

Mediterranean Roots, Florida Setting

The Dalmar's dining philosophy leans into locally inspired cuisine, and the Mediterranean influence runs through the kitchen's approach to fresh ingredients and bold, sun-friendly flavors. That sensibility fits naturally into the Fort Lauderdale lifestyle — outdoor seating, open air, and the kind of relaxed confidence that comes from knowing the food can hold its own.

Five Ways to Dine

The dining lineup at The Dalmar covers the full arc of the day. Rose's Coffee Bar opens early with specialty coffees, pressed juices, and light bites for hotel guests and locals alike. The Lobby Bar serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a space designed for lingering, with Florida-inspired cocktails and bartenders who take their craft seriously. Sip 'n Dip keeps things poolside and casual — refreshing drinks, handheld favorites, swimsuits welcome. And Sparrow, the rooftop venue with a retractable roof and funky 60s flair, runs into the late hours on weekends, offering Fort Lauderdale views alongside beer on tap and a menu that matches the energy of the room.

The Atmosphere

Half inside, half outside, with a retractable roof for unpredictable Florida evenings — the spaces here are designed for the climate and the crowd. The Mediterranean character of the cuisine pairs well with the open, airy settings, where the line between indoors and outdoors softens over the course of a meal.
