The Katherine is from the same team that gave us one of our favorite Miami restaurant openings of 2019, Balloo. And while the pandemic sadly forced Balloo to close, The Katherine has many of the same qualities: a creative menu, friendly service, and a narrow dining room that feels like a dinner party. If you’re looking for something a little more modern and exciting among Fort Lauderdale’s sea of old school spots, this is where you want to be. The menu includes clam chowder fries, Thai style crab rice, and more dishes that are influenced by Indian, Caribbean, and Mexican cuisine.
