Italian Dining by the Ocean

Breakfast, sushi, steaks, and cocktails at 600 N Surf Rd in Hollywood.

Beachfront restaurant exterior on Hollywood's boardwalk.

By the boardwalk

WHY NOT? sits at 600 N Surf Rd #6 in Hollywood, FL 33019, with a boardwalk location that keeps the restaurant close to the shoreline and easy to picture on arrival. The address places it in Hollywood, and the setting brings beach view and ocean view into the meal from the start. Guests reach a spot that feels tied to the coast, with the water in sight and the boardwalk just outside.

That location matters before the first order is placed. It suits a slow lunch after time by the beach, a relaxed dinner before an evening walk, or a stop built around the view itself. The room faces a part of Hollywood where the coast sets the pace. The street address is clear, the suite number is specific, and the restaurant sits where a visitor can move from the sidewalk to the table without guesswork.

The setting also works for people planning a day around the area. The boardwalk gives the visit a public, open edge. The ocean view and beach view give the table a fixed backdrop, not a passing one. That is the first thing many guests notice when they arrive, before any menu choice comes into play.

Open all week

The restaurant opens Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 10 PM. On Saturday and Sunday, it stays open from 9 AM to 11 PM. That long window gives the day room to begin with breakfast and carry through brunch, lunch, and dinner without a hard break in the middle.

Parking is available in three forms: a free parking lot, a paid parking lot, and paid street parking. The choice depends on how someone arrives and how close they want to be to the door.
