    I def have to give credit where it is due. The space is absolutely beautiful. The interior design leans into Miami tropical pink vibes, with multiple indoor seating areas, flattering lighting, and accessible free parking, which is always a plus. It is visually stunning and clearly designed for a memorable atmosphere. That said, in my opinion this is the definition of an IG restaurant. It looks amazing, but the experience did not match the price point. I visited with friends to celebrate a birthday. One friend ordered the tomahawk steak, and I ordered chicken and rice after informing the server about my shellfish allergy. He mentioned my options would be chicken or a vegetable plate. My utensils were wrapped in a cloth napkin, but when I unwrapped them, they were stained and sticky. I alerted the server, who promised replacements. However, they arrived much later, only when he returned to ask about dessert or the check. When the food came out, my chicken was cold. My friend received a T-bone instead of the tomahawk she ordered. It was also cooked well done despite being ordered medium. She could not eat it. It took about 20 minutes for the server to return so she could request a correction. A manager did come to apologize, which I appreciated, but it took another 30 minutes for the replacement steak to arrive. This time it was a tomahawk, but it was medium well and stone cold. The one highlight beyond the decor was the birthday celebration. They brought out a complimentary dessert with sparklers, music, and lighting effects. It created a fun Miami nightlife moment that fit the brand of the restaurant very well. Overall, the space is gorgeous and the birthday presentation was memorable. However, the food quality, service timing, and attention to detail did not justify the pricing. I do not see myself returning. It is a beautiful place to look at, but for me it was not worth the hype beyond the aesthetic ‍

    Casa De Amore was definitely a vibe and a perfect spot for either a date night, girls dinner, birthday dinner, etc. When we arrived, we were taken on time for our reservation. This restaurant is so chic! The pink vintage aesthetic gives off such an upbeat vibe, along with the good music. Our waitress was very friendly and helped us navigate through the menu. Their drinks were A1! Perfect combo of sweet, strong, and tropical flavors. I ordered their fried lobster and it was a 10/10! The lobster was fried to perfect and juicy. My friend loved their groit and pasta which were flavorful and filling. We cannot wait to come back and try more of what they have to offer.

    The food was pretty good. I enjoyed the drinks more than the food for sure. The complimentary bread was definitely good & the jerk chicken quesadillas are BOMB. The day that i want it was extremely hot inside, i saw other people fanning themselves as well, so I knew i wasn't the only one. Drinks took a LONG time to come. I would suggest ordering your drinks as soon as you can because it takes about 25 minutes for them to make like 2 drinks.

    Let me give the positives before I go into the negatives.... The restaurant is beautiful!!! The decor is vibrant, very girly and cutsie. Carla was out waiter, she's very good at her job. First let me say. When I walk in a restaurant I expect to smell FOOD!! There was absolutely no smell of food when we walked in. That told me all I needed to know about the food that was about to be brought to our table! We ordered: The drinks were decent. Not strong at all. Mac & cheese- (eeyuckk) definitely not Haitian Goat- COLD and hard but had good flavor Black rice- ICE COLD Ok flavor Macaroni salad- Tasted like refrigerator. Nasty! Sweet plantains- ICE COLD So disappointing. Honestly tik tok warned me but I like to see for myself. Never again!

    Although it was my first time, I had such a nice experience at Casa De Amore! The ambiance was absolutely beautiful, very pretty, warm, and welcoming from the moment we walked in. The décor and overall vibe made it feel like the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the evening. The service was great as well. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we were taken care of throughout our visit. The food was just as impressive, everything was flavorful, fresh, and presented so nicely. You can tell they put thought into both the taste and the experience. I would definitely recommend this place and look forward to coming back again!

    My first visit and the food was delicious and the service was performed by friendly servers. The Korean fried chicken bao was well spiced and tasty. The bangin shrimp was perfect as was the Haitian Boulette. When you go, parking is usually available out in the lot. Full bar with talented bartenders. Make your reservations early as they fill up fast.

    The only reason I'm leaving three stars is because our waitress Dani was great. Let's start with arrival. Upon arriving there was no hostess at the front. I stood waiting for a while and I was never greeted by anyone, so I had a seat at the bar. When everyone else arrived, initially we were told my a random staff we would not be seated until everyone arrived. Keep in mind at this moment 11 out of the 15 were there and waiting. Finally the hostess seat is at our tables. For a party of 15 we sat at two different tables. We had to request for another table to get added. Now on to the food. The table was NEVER even served water. Apparently, water is only provided upon request and it's an additional cost. The food was extremely OVERPRICED!! The menu was pretty basic. The food was decent but is NOT NOT worth the price at all. The cocktails were okay, again nothing mind blowing. I started with the house salad and for the main course I had the shrimp Rasta pasta. Everyone else said their food tasted ok, but not worth the cost. Here's what others has to say about their meals "the lobster bisque was under seasoned, the rice that was served with the oxtail was dry, the salmon needed more glaze and the wings were okay". Later that night my stomach was extremely upset and I was in and out of the bathroom. Needless to say I would never recommend this place to anyone.

    I really wanted to love it. We were really excited to try this restaurant since we don't have anything like this in our area. I think because we went opening weekend and a social media influencer posted this restaurant they were not prepared for the rush that they got. The restaurant is beautiful I really enjoyed the ambiance except for the plant that kept attacking me. But you get the vision when you walk in. Very aesthetically pleasing. We made reservations earlier in the day for 8pm and we arrived earlier and was told our reservations were not there. The hostess talked to someone else who was able to find our reservations and we were finally seated. A lady came and gave us water glasses but no water. We waited for what seemed to be 30 min before being acknowledged. They have a QR system to view the menu and you can purchase from this as well but we got the impression that you are not supposed to. When I placed the order is when the server acknowledged us. I ordered a old fashioned and smoked old fashioned (which is 5 dollars more) and was told the smoke machine was not working this was after I already spent 45 dollars on the drinks. Our friends ordered a margarita with light ice and both received a frozen margarita they were not impressed. Now that we had the servers attention we placed the rest of the orders. We sat down at 8 and it food came at 930. But remember I don't think they were fully prepared for the effect that the influencer has on the south Florida community. Food presentation looked beautiful. I had the lobster bisque which had chunks of lobster it was not salty and was very tasty. Alisha the lobster mac and cheese. I can tell it was sitting out for awhile because it was almost cold and not creamy at all. My mom had the lamb lollipops with asparagus and mashed potatoes. She would have liked some gravy for the mashed potatoes but she used my lobster bisque in is place. Also the way the asparagus was done they were not tasty and she left them. Our friend had the lobster and she enjoyed that. Even though it was a birthday celebration we did not order a dessert. Our server apologized for the long wait and offered to get us a round of drinks in the back area which has a dj another bar and dance floor but a bartender never showed up so we left. I would like to try this spot again once the hype dies down a bit for brunch and also the speakeasy they are opening upstairs. Even the dinner i would like to try again. I love that we have something in our area like this and I hope they work out the kinks

    My friends treated me to birthday dinner here and it was great. The service was wonderful. Our waitress very attentive and our food was delivered fairly quickly after ordering. The four of us were very happy with everything. From the fried lobster to the cracked conch apps. Then the lamb chops, lobster bisque and lobster Mac and cheese. My only critique is that the Diri Djon Djon is not like the kind your Haitian mom makes so be ready for that. The rice was cooked perfectly but I was expecting the old school full flavor Djon Djon. Either way I was still ver happy. And the stewed conch top tier!!! 10 out of 10 definitely RECOMMEND!

    Brunch bill and I tipped another 18% on top of what was already paid

    I ate here yesterday for brunch and actually we came back for dinner. The service by Dani was absolutely amazing. She's such a sweet girl and just a vibe overall! There was so much on the menu we didn't get a chance to order for brunch so we collectively decided we had to come back but they were fully booked but we were advised the best time to come for dinner and we could sit at the bar and I wasn't sure how to feel about the bar but it turned out just fine. I ordered the Korean Bao Buns. Drinks and a like sweet siracha chicken with French toast. The mussels were 10/10 I tried. Everyone actually liked their food. I personally didn't like the QR code menu option it was a bit glitchy when trying to decide what to eat and what wasn't actually available. Also I noticed the price for certain items changed for dinner which caught me off guard. I paid $40 for lobster Mac and the dinner I partially ordered was underwhelming. I'm glad I tried it and experienced the vibe but the food just doesn't reach out to me as it may for others. I wrote a 5 star review for brunch but dinner just didn't do it for me. I really appreciate the kind service from everyone though. Had a beautiful bartender last night with locs she was great I wanted to love it more but I just couldn't. When I re looked at the menu it wasn't a lot that I'd order and if I did it was a la carte items which weren't too reasonably priced. Some were and some just didn't make sense and the portion of it is what really threw me off. I also remember them saying that a party of 6 or more will add a 18% gratuity. Well both times we were there it was never 18%. The first time I actually paid the entire bill and tipped on top of the 18% but once I realized at the bar they still charged each of us 18% I felt as though I wasn't going to tip again because I felt robbed and it's messed up because I really did enjoy the service but the price change of the food in addition to the gratuity that wasn't needed at the bar actually annoyed me a bit but I didn't say anything. I don't know if I'd be back for the food unfortunately. Hopefully the menu gets a bit better. Maybe. We will see.

    I came across this restaurant on instagram and the aesthetic of the restaurant really drew me in so I decided to give it a try with my friends. Upon entering the restaurant I was very impressed with the decor and vibe of the place. It was decorated beautifully. I felt like I was on a vacation or something. Our waitress was really sweet and very attentive. She recommended a few items for us to try and each one was tasty. My favorite was definitely the cracked conch, salmon and grits, and the French toast. These were amazing and the portions were very generous. I would love to come back and try dinner.

    Drink spilled on pants
    Sianni B.

    1 STAR !!!! I wish 0 I was excited to try this new establishment casa de amore from a foodie I follow on Instagram ! It's so embarrassing because I suggested it to my sister in law for a birthday Unfortunately, my experience was deeply disappointing. While our server was doing their best, the service was significantly lacking in other areas. The bartender was extremely slow, and my sister-in-law's 200$ and something tomahawk steak ordered medium was medium well. To make matters worse, a drink was spilled on me, ruining my outfit. I understand accidents happen, so I didn't make a scene. However, when I spoke to the manager about the situation, she was unwilling to offer more than a discount on my meal, even after I suggested comping my boyfriend's meal as well because of the inconvenience. our server then claimed to be a part-time manager and promised to "take care of it," who made me feel confused how can a manger say this than my server say another thing. I do feel great about our server only because he tried to make things better but it's still unfair this happened and for management not to care as much For a restaurant that has only been open for a month, especially ordering a top menu item she never came by once to ask if everything was okay. the lack of professionalism and poor customer service is unacceptable, especially considering the prices. I will not be returning. Instagram definitely did its job making it look amazing. I got the Rasta pasta and 3 margaritas. Oh and at the end of this review as I'm still here the bartender managed to spill another drink on a table behind us lol

    Totally destroyed the plate!!!
    Fernando L.

    The service was decent. With our 7pm reservation, we received our food around 8:45pm. The food was great though! I ordered their oxtails with rice and peas as well as sweet plantains. The ambiance and overall vibe was terrific! We'll definitely be back!

We were never informed about any service fee until the end of the meal. Extremely disappointed. Will not be going back.

    When it opened in 2024 this was the fourth and largest of the Tacocaft Taqueria and Tequila Bar…read morerestaurants. It is part of a South Florida chain founded by restaurateur Marc Falsetto along with Anthony Bruno, Pat Marzano, Hall of Fame Miami Dolphins Dan Marino, and local radio personality Paul Castronovo. This Tacocraft restaurant is located on the corner of the first floor of the mixed use Village Square Complex on University Dr. in Coral Springs. They also have locations in downtown Fort Lauderdale, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, and at the Plantation Walk. I stopped by after attending the nearby Blarney Bash for a late snack and cocktail. They have a beautifully decorated dining room with a tree and basket lights but my friend was cold and wanted to stay outside. Their sidewalk dining wraps around two sides of the building and we were seated on the University Dr side. At first it seemed fine but after a few minute of watching the cars speed by including police and ambulances we started to rethink the safety. It seemed entirely possible that someone could lose control of their car and plow into the sidewalk. The Tacocraft menu is divided into snacks, ensaladas, entrees and bowls, fajitas, and tacos. The flavor packed tacos including chicken Al Pastor, Carne Asada, Korean Short Rib, and Chorizo & Egg tacos are stand outs. They also serve cocktails, wine, beer, soft drinks, sides, and desserts. They are especially known for their ultimate nachos. After studying the menu I chose the $15 coconut margarita made with casamingos blanco, cream of coconut, fresh lime, and coconut flakes. It was both strong and delicious. It really hit the spot. I paired my margarita with a crispy shrimp taco, tempura fried shrimp, mango salsa, and spicy mayo. It was $7.50 for the one taco so definitely on the expensive side but it really delivered on the crunch and the taste. This was my first time trying Tacocraft so I was dipping my toe in to check them out. This restaurant is for people who don't mind paying more for a beautiful place to hang out and creativity in the menu.

My wife had the short ribs, they are tender and very good! The waiter said they were voted best fried chicken, and he wasn't lying! The wasabi mash potatoes were great too!Dessert was ok, maybe we were full by then. Chris is an outstanding waiter! Getting that NY strip the next time!

First off, parking was difficult because this establishment is near other highly frequented businesses. Once inside, we were greeted by a friendly hostess who immediately sat us at a table for two. The interior is small and intimate, which also meant very loud once it got crowded. After being seated, our water cups were quickly filled, and someone inquired if we wanted drinks. After we were approached twice, still unsure of what we wanted, we were then neglected for at least ten minutes. Our appetizers arrived and still no one had come to get our entree order. The menu is fairly small, and the items are quite pricey. You know what else was small? The drinks! For $18 I want to hold a drink that fills my hand. Was it good, yeah; but it wasn't life changing. We ordered some scrumptious rosemary focaccia and lemon garlic olives to start; my husband chose the Korean Fried Chicken and I opted for the pappardelle bolognese for our main course. Both dishes were tasty, but I don't think either one was reasonably priced at $34. We opted to skip dessert after watching everyone around us receive their meals before us; and only at this time did our waiter seem to become more attentive. Overall, food is great, but overpriced; service was fair - but for over $100 for two entrees, appetizer and one drink, we won't be back.

    Almost a year later, and I finally made it for their happy hour. They have happy hour almost daily,…read morewith every night being a different special. I went on a Wednesday night, it was pretty dead, but that didn't stop us from having a great time. They had three for one drink special, a lot of their food were on happy hour as well. And the DJ was pretty good. I am so mad that I don't remember our waitresses name because she was definitely good. They also had a free sip and paint last night however we didn't stay long for that. The food was really good, and the drinks were OK, it gave us the buzz that we needed lol .. I was just so shocked that no one was really trying to take advantage of their happy hour but then again it was also a random Wednesday night so I am assuming it gets packed on the weekends.

The dim lighting and moody vibe set the stage perfectly--whether you're kicking back with friends or trying to impress someone on a date. The food? Solid. Flavorful, well-portioned, and pairs nicely with the whole lounge aesthetic. It's the kind of menu that keeps the focus on the experience while still leaving you satisfied. What really makes this spot special is the energy. You can come here for a chill night of conversation with friends, or lean into the music and turn it into something more--dancing with a date under the low lights feels effortlessly cool and just a little bit sexy. If you're into places that feel more like an escape than a restaurant, Velvet Lounge Café nails it.
