Compliments to the chef since my salmon was cooked perfectly. All six of us enjoyed everything. Service was right on, atmosphere is high energy, round table for six is ideal and comfy, and it hit all the boxes for a great restaurant. Oh one last thing...I knocked over my dirty martini (yikes) and our waitress replaced it w/o charging...I greatly appreciated that.

I kind of knew that I would not be disappointed... I wasn't. We made reservations and were sat immediately upon arriving. The entire restaurant was clean and organized and very well maintained. We were greeted with a smile and welcomed in and brought to our table immediately. We chose to sit outside as the weather was perfect for outdoor dining. Serve server, Lissete immediately greeted us and helped us walk through the drink menu. We both chose the 'shogun' drink, which but their version not fat. The drink was absolutely delicious and flavorful and reflected its a menu description perfectly. I don't want to say that the menu was overwhelming, but every description of every item was appealing. I will not go into detailed descriptions of our menu items as their descriptions were very well defined on the menu. Everything we ordered was both picture perfect and absolutely delicious. We ordered the following items: Pork Belly Skewers Gali Rib Skewers Duo Tartar GO Roll Hachi Roll Every item was absolutely delicious but, would I order it again? Probably not as these items were so awesome that I would have to try new items every time I go back or another visit. I will again say that our server Lissete, it's probably one of the best servers I have ever had before. She was personal, professional, assisted us with the menu, get back with us after every plate and overall treated us as if we were honored guests in her home. With her Service and the food and the ambience of the restaurant, Kuro Sushi a very easily earned my five stars! Great job by everyone!

We arrived around 6:30 and were seated right away in a comfortable booth. The decor in the dining room was really pretty and my husband and I noticed the cool agave inspired lamps right away. Our server greeted us as soon as we sat down with water and chips and salsa. The chips had a great seasoning on them that made them stand out from other Mexican restaurants. The salsa had great flavor. Since the basket of chips was so large we ordered queso as well and were very impressed at the size of it as well as the flavor. For our dinner I got the birria tacos and my husband got the steak tacos. Both dishes were delicious, my birria tacos were huge and very filling and his steak tacos were full of flavor. We were mid meal saying that we were already looking forward to coming back with friends. The drinks were good, the food was good and the service was fast and friendly. We will definitely be back for more delicious food and drinks.

I went to Craftails Speakeasy and tried the Strawberry Fields from their spring craft tail menu…read more Honestly, it was strong, super pretty, and had this little dried orange thing plus a bubble that added smoke to the drink, felt fancy without feeling "my wallet is crying." Service was awesome too. We got there right when they opened so it was just me and my mom at first and the guy at the bar made it easy and fun. The vibe feels a bit on the fancier side, but it's still chill, a perfect spot for date night or just taking cute photos. No hidden entrance or secret password that we could see and street parking is available. No wait during the day. It's not the cheapest spot, but honestly worth it for the drinks and the aesthetic. I'd love to go back and try more of their craft tails sometime!

The ambiance is polished compared the dive bar scene in the surrounding area. I tried the "Do No Wrong" which calls for: Mezcal, house made orgeat, lime, habanero tincture, mint, nutmeg. I made it known to the bartender that I don't like the excessive sweetness that sometimes orgeat (almond) syrup has in drinks so he could adjust that for me. The drink turned out nice with the crushed ice they use for it and I'd try it again. Also tried the "Chai and Chill" which based off their website is: "Warming spices with chai and espresso, complemented by creamy vanilla and a hint of cinnamon -- smooth, aromatic, and cozy for winter evenings." Being that it's winter in Florida and my smelling sense isn't the sharpest at the time, I wasn't able to appreciate the aromatics in this drink but I'd say it's a balanced creamy drink, perhaps I'd ask for more espresso based liquor in it if I had it again or good for you to know in case you want to make sure that it carries enough coffee flavor for you. As of February 2026, they are doing comedy nights on Thursdays.
