TIMBR Restaurant & Lounge — Fort Lauderdale

Description

TIMBR is an upscale cocktail lounge and restaurant on Las Olas Boulevard with themed dining rooms, a strong wine list, and craft cocktails. It is best for date nights, anniversaries, and celebratory dinners.

Overview

TIMBR Restaurant & Lounge sits at the western gateway of Las Olas Boulevard, combining a full-service dinner menu with a craft cocktail program inside two dramatically themed dining rooms. The Flower Room is draped in blooms and soft lighting, while the Dark Forest Room leans into a starry, dimly lit canopy that guests describe as both intimate and photogenic. After 9 PM on weekends the upstairs lounge opens, giving diners a second-floor spot for after-dinner drinks without leaving the building.

The cocktail list runs from a well-regarded espresso martini to fruit-forward options like the Mango Lava Rita, and the wine program earns regular praise for depth and fair pricing – guests have flagged bottles at roughly half of what competing restaurants charge for the same labels. Comfort-food touches show up alongside more polished plates: the lobster appetizer is consistently called generous, the octopus and salmon draw repeat orders, and the mac and cheese reads as an indulgent side rather than an afterthought. Desserts pull their weight too, with the passion fruit tart, crème brûlée, and a signature cheesecake all singled out by name in reviews.

Service is the detail that surfaces most often across more than eleven hundred Google reviews. Servers are frequently mentioned individually for remembering details, coordinating birthday surprises, and keeping the pacing smooth even on busy nights. The crowd skews toward couples marking anniversaries and birthdays, but groups and solo diners fit comfortably, and the atmosphere is welcoming across the board – LGBTQ+ friendly and relaxed enough that tourists and locals mix without friction. TIMBR is closed Mondays, opens at 5 PM Tuesday through Sunday, and stays open until 11 PM on Friday and Saturday. Reservations are recommended for dinner, especially on weekends when the upstairs lounge adds a second layer of energy to the evening.

Frequently asked questions

What are TIMBR’s hours and is it open on Mondays?

TIMBR is closed every Monday. Tuesday through Thursday and Sunday it opens at 5 PM and closes at 10 PM. Friday and Saturday hours run from 5 PM to 11 PM, and the upstairs lounge opens after 9 PM on those later nights.

Do I need a reservation at TIMBR?

Reservations are recommended for dinner, especially on Friday and Saturday evenings when the restaurant is busiest. Walk-ins are possible on quieter weeknights, but booking ahead ensures you get a table in either the Flower Room or the Dark Forest Room.

What should I order at TIMBR?

Guest favorites include the lobster appetizer, the octopus, the salmon, and the ribeye. For sides, the fingerling potatoes and mac and cheese are frequently praised. Dessert standouts are the passion fruit tart, the crème brûlée, and a signature cheesecake. The espresso martini and Mango Lava Rita are the most popular cocktails.

Is TIMBR good for a birthday or anniversary dinner?

It is one of the most popular celebration spots on Las Olas. The staff coordinates candles, complimentary birthday touches, and personalized attention when you mention the occasion ahead of time. The themed rooms photograph well, and the upstairs lounge gives your group a place to continue the evening after dinner.

What is the vibe like inside TIMBR?

The restaurant has two distinct themed rooms – the Flower Room with soft lighting and floral decor, and the Dark Forest Room with a darker, starry atmosphere. Music plays throughout but stays at a conversational volume in most areas. The overall feel is upscale and trendy without being stiff, and the crowd is welcoming and diverse.

Is TIMBR good for groups or just couples?

Both work well. Couples gravitate toward the themed dining rooms for date nights, but groups regularly book for birthdays, anniversaries, and celebrations. The upstairs lounge that opens after 9 PM on weekends is a natural spot to gather with friends after dinner. The venue is also LGBTQ+ friendly and welcoming to solo diners.
