Florida Room, the newest concept from chefs Jeff McInnis and Janine Booth, brings an unexpected pairing to Fort Lauderdale: a full-service restaurant tucked inside a massive pickleball complex at The Fort in Snyder Park. The space blends relaxed, open-air design with waterfront views and a lively mix of diners—from families to post-game players still wearing their paddles.

The menu is equally playful and refined, featuring standouts like the calamari Caesar, peaches with stracciatella and prosciutto, curried lamb sausage rolls, and the chefs’ signature double-brined fried chicken. With thoughtful dishes, a breezy atmosphere, and plenty of personality, Florida Room proves you really can play a round, grab a great meal, and make a night of it—all in the same place.
