Girls' Night Out at Maass: A Posh Culinary Experience in Fort Lauderdale

If you know me, you know I’m typically all about Miami, but lately, I’ve been unlocking more of South Florida. My latest discovery? Maass  in Fort Lauderdale—and let me tell you, this was one for the books!

Our girls' night out started with a toast, sipping on the Citrus Groove cocktail, made with the smooth, rich notes of Beyoncé’s Sir Davis Whisky. It was the perfect start to an upscale night that only got better from there. The evening was centered around a phenomenal 5-course tasting menu, and every bite left us wanting more.

Here’s a taste of what we indulged in:

• Hearth Focaccia Bread 

• Strawberry Macaron 

• Truffle Popcorn 

• Mini Lobster Rolls 

• Charred Avocado 

• Baked Oysters

• Smoked Potato Ravioli 

• Striped Bass 

• Grilled Maki Mushroom 

• Cornbread 

• Chocolate Cake 

  
  

This is a judgement-free zone, right? I ask because it’s evident that we were “basking in the ambience”. Do I have any remorse for how much I ate? Absolutely not! I enjoyed everything down to the last crumb, it was just that divine. The highlights for me however, were definitely:

This isn’t your average movie theater snack! Light, airy, and perfectly seasoned, the popcorn was dusted with Parmesan and infused with the rich, earthy aroma of truffle. Each bite was a savory burst of flavor, setting the tone for the rest of the night.

Smoky caviar, creamy lobster salad, and a delightful blend of herbs and spices that added depth to this simple ingredient. The char added a layer of richness that took the avocado to a whole new level!

This dish was a revelation! Each bite of the pillowy ravioli was packed with the flavor of smoked potatoes, giving it a rich, earthy profile. Paired with a light sauce that complemented the smoky undertones, this was a highlight of the night.

A truly unique dessert experience! The shaved ice was infused with vanilla and topped with the sweetest and most delectable peaches, flown in straight from an orchard in California. The burst of fresh peach flavor literally transported me to another dimension, making this dessert a memorable and refreshing finish to the meal.

The food was incredible, but I also have to mention the atmosphere and service. From the moment we stepped through the door, the staff was attentive, warm, and on point with every detail. The ambiance? Chic, posh, and perfect for an elevated night out.

What’s even better? You can experience this impeccable food and ambiance for just $75 as part of Dine Out Lauderdale, available now through September 30th. It’s an unbeatable deal for the level of culinary artistry Maass is bringing to the table.
