“FOOD WAS HOT AND DELICIOUS!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!“

“Overall a very good experience. The service was very good. The food is very good. And the atmosphere is very good. It met expectation and I would come back.

It's not the kind of place for a "wow" factor. But an enjoyable outdoor dining experience.

I came off hours on a Tuesday. So I had my pick of tables.

The music was audible but not "thumping" and it didn't interfere with conversation.“

“On June 16, we went to Kaluz Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale to celebrate my mother’s 85th birthday. We are regulars at Kaluz to the point where we have the cell phone numbers of several employees. In a nutshell, Anthony, the manager, should not hold that position in a restaurant like Kaluz. My husband and Anthony exchanged words and Anthony’s solution to the issue was telling us, “You should not come back here. The owners do not want parties larger than five people.” My jaw dropped. I could not believe that a manager’s solution to an issue about seating us sooner, while we waited for two other people in our party, especially since my 85-year-old mother could not stand for long, was to tell us, on two separate occasions, that we should not come back. Anthony also put the entire blame on the owners of the restaurant. We go to Kaluz almost on a weekly basis, tip extremely well and have taken countless people there that have also ended up being regulars at Kaluz. No restaurant manager should EVER tell a customer, regular or not, to not come back regardless of the issue. Needless to say, we will not be going back to Kaluz as long as Anthony continues working“

“The food was outstanding. I had the oxtail pasta. The meet was so tender. Our server Wendy was great, knowledgeable and very personable. Tia, the mixologist was great. The chef was cool, and took a photo with us. My only gripe was the service fee was offsetting. I shall return. ??????

“fresh, tasty, clean, healthy, no-mess delicious food that is properly prepared by chefs. this is not a commercial fast food joint- it's a casual, affordable spot on beautiful Giralda Avenue where staff is utterly prepared to serve you quickly and with a smile. you can see the food being prepared with proper technique ( hello meat thermometers). If you're practicing mindful eating on a budget, are on a time crunch, on a work break, this is the place to be. I'll be back soon!“

And the poise and control of the dining room shows the teamwork it takes and yall run a well oiled, attentive, delicious, fresh and welcoming place!! Truly a GEM!! 😍 My Brother will be back Tuesday 4/22 for a bunch of your amazingly succulent CinnaGEMbuns! They are so fluffy, and gooey with an exceptional crusted bottom that gives it that extra sweetness, and then with the most incredible drizzles! 🤤The homemade touch to all of it was so phenomenal! Thank you for all the hard work and the hours of love and time on your feet to give us the most delicious fresh made English muffins with a lightness and crunch matched to none!! 😁 My family was grieving that morning having breakfast there as we were in town for a funeral and I cannot tell you how much your place lifted our spirits with the warm, homemade comfort foods..we are still talking about it today! ☺️ Big 👏🏼 to everyone that served us. I will definitely be back the next time we are in town. 💛“
