Lucky Fish Beach Bar + Grill – the casual, family-friendly restaurant – is now open in Dania Beach. It’s the ultimate beachfront restaurant, where locals and visitors alike can walk right off the sand, sip on tiki bar cocktails and enjoy fresh, coastal-inspired eats — all with a stunning ocean view. The restaurant is part of LM Restaurants, the family-owned and operated hospitality group led by South Florida locals husband-and-wife team Lou and Joy Moshakos, with daughter Amber as president.

To celebrate the grand opening of Lucky Fish Beach Bar + Grill Dania Beach, Dania Beach Mayor Joyce L. Davis, Vice Mayor Marco A. Salvino, Sr., City Manager Ana M. Garcia, ICMA-CM, the City of Dania Beach dignitaries, Broward County Commissioner Lamar P. Fisher, representatives from the Greater Dania Beach Chamber of Commerce and senior executives from Feeding South Florida® joined the Moshakos family and the LM Restaurants executive team for a ribbon-cutting ceremony on April 1. Following the ceremony, guests had the opportunity to exclusively experience the new restaurant and enjoy cocktails and a variety of Lucky Fish’s signature dishes while overlooking the ocean and listening to live music.

Fortifying LM Restaurant’s dedication to giving back to the community, proceeds from Lucky Fish Beach Bar + Grill Dania Beach’s opening day supported the City of Dania Beach and proceeds from the opening week benefitted Feeding South Florida, the leading hunger-relief organization serving Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties. LM Restaurants donated $5,753 to the City of Dania Beach and $19,126 to Feeding South Florida. During the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the Moshakos family presented both organizations with checks.

Proceeds support the revitalization of the City of Dania Beach’s shoreline by enhancing the beachfront, supporting local businesses and creating a vibrant gathering place for residents and visitors alike. The funds raised will support Feeding South Florida’s mission to end hunger in South Florida by providing immediate access to nutritious food, leading hunger and poverty advocacy efforts and transforming lives through innovative programming and education.

“The City of Dania Beach is proud to partner with LM Restaurants to bring Lucky Fish Beach Bar + Grill to our beautiful shoreline,” said Dania Beach Mayor Joyce L. Davis. “This revitalization represents our commitment to enhancing our beachfront, supporting local businesses, and creating a vibrant gathering place for residents and visitors alike. We are excited to welcome Lucky Fish to Dania Beach and look forward to the energy, jobs, and sense of community it will bring to our city.”

“We are incredibly grateful that LM Restaurants chose to contribute to Feeding South Florida as part of the opening celebration for Lucky Fish Beach Bar + Grill Dania Beach,” said Paco Vélez, president and CEO of Feeding South Florida. “This donation will help us combat food insecurity in South Florida and break the cycle of hunger. When local businesses help put food on the tables of our families, it makes South Florida a better place.”

“We’re thrilled to expand our South Florida footprint in the sand with the opening of Lucky Fish Beach Bar + Grill Dania Beach so locals and visitors alike can gather, relax and make memories,” said Amber Moshakos, president of LM Restaurants. “The Dania Beach community has already shown up for us in an incredible way, and we are committed to supporting our community in return. It’s our honor to make a meaningful difference for the City of Dania Beach and South Florida families facing food insecurity.”
