An absolutely delicious and amazing place that I have gotten food to go from. I will make sure to come in and try enjoying the entire atmosphere and service because if it is anything like mine to go experience it has to be impeccable also. The only thing that is very tough to find around here is the parking because half of the lot is valet parking and the other is shared with businesses around the restaurant. Once I found parking I was greeted by somebody opening the door from my wife and I and as soon as we walked in we were basically jumped upon to make sure that we were having a good afternoon so far and if we needed any help. When we said we were getting it to go order they were very quick with calling on the radio to get our food picked up. I really enjoyed the open wall concept to where I could watch the kitchen and everybody cooking the food while I waited. Once we got our order and left I couldn't wait to start eating. We got a steak and the octopus appetizer. The octopus appetizer was absolutely phenomenal but I will say it is a little pricey for what you get. The flavors of the octopus and the texture was out of this world though! The steak was cooked perfectly at a medium rare and was massive! The seasoning that they used and the charring on it was impeccable as well. I had leftovers from the steak for a couple days because of how big it was . Overall an amazing place and one that I am excited to go back to again! read more

Went to Kaluz for dinner recently while visiting the area. The entrance is very inviting and so is the whole vibe of the restaurant. We were seated right away since we had reservations. I ordered a Lychee Martini and it was really really good, so fresh tasting and strong. For my meal ordered the crab cakes with a loaded baked potato, the Entree only comes with the carrots and no other sides, I'm glad I ordered the potato because the two small crab cakes would not have filled me. If you're used to eating a really full meal then you'll need two entrees here lol, the portions were quite small. The actual taste and flavors were really good though. Service was great, but I don't feel for the price they gave enough food. read more

Hosted a party for 8. Food was top notch. Loved the sea bass, flatbreads, and the steak. My friends thought the steak were extremely juicy and not overly cooked. Staff were attentive and excellent. Didn't wait for seating at all. Good pace on food coming out. Overall extremely satisfied by the service level and food. Prices were very fair. read more

We had superior service by MacKenzie from Baltimore. Our cocktails came within minutes even though the main bar was jam packed. We learned they wisely have a service bar just for dining tables. My husband had the pork chops and I had the ahi tuna. We both had a side of broccoli. We opted for the parmesan cheese, although we would not recommend the added cheese because it made the broccoli taste funky. We had steak meatballs (tender and memorable) for the appetizer and wedge salads before our meals. They changed our silverware after each course. We had two Irish decaf coffees with splashes of Baileys. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and our meals. The complementary valet parking was nice. We were concerned we might not have been dressed up enough (shorts and dress tee shirts) but it didn't matter. The entire staff was welcoming. We had such a lovely evening, we asked our friends to join us the following night and requested MacKenzie again. read more

Celebrated my birthday at Kaluz with my parents and husband, and from the cocktails, appetizers, main dish, and desert we all were raving about when we will return. Being that this was mt first time, the waiter really helped me understand what I should get from the menu and was there to answer any questions the table had. This elegant restaurant is good for any occasion; however, this is a place you want to dress up for! read more

I was in the area and my sis had all good things to say about Kaluz, so we popped in for a quick bite and a cocktail. We were seated immediately, we opted for outdoor dining. It was a nice view with a fountain by our table. Our server was pleasant and helpful. We just grabbed a couple appetizers since we were pressed for time. But can I tell you those meatball and the calamari are living rent free in my head! They were both soooo good. And I got my signature Hugo spritz to wash it down. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back. read more

Our first visit was amazing for so many reasons! First, Joe, our waiter, was fantastic--friendly, knowledgeable, and super easygoing, which made the experience even better. The food was absolutely delicious. We started with the grilled artichoke, which I highly recommend. For our meals, we had the filet mignon and the ahi tuna salad, and both were excellent. Finished off the night with the key lime pie for dessert. Overall, it was a great experience, and I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try! read more

It was recommended by the bartender and it was good. We started with the grilled octopus and it was delicious. I loved it. I would order it again. It was my favorite thing. The bar service was great and friendly. This was a beautiful restaurant inside and out. The crowd was a little older but it was a nice place. I ended up ordering the crab crusted fish.

First visit to Kaluz for an office lunch. The dining room is very modern and inviting. Our server, Nicholai, was very friendly and answered questions for the table. The lunch menu is pretty decent with several options at mixed price points to choose from. I was torn between the Thai Noodle Salad and the Fish sandwich. Unfortunately, I went with the latter. While the fish was fresh, it could've been bolstered with more flavor. It also was way too flaky, and the bun got soggy very fast. The sandwich fall apart after the first time picking it up. My coworker next to me got the Thai salad and it looked quite beautiful. He said it was delicious and fresh. If I come here again, I will definitely go with the salad. Some coworkers also got the brussels sprouts appetizer, but unfortunately it has bacon so I did not try a taste. I will say the shrimp escargot looked really good, and those who tried it, were really in love with it. I've never seen shrimp escargot on a menu, and I thought that was a pretty unique item. Overall, while I wasn't a fan of my dish, I would give this place another try but will order differently. read more

I recently visited Kaluz Restaurant, and it was everything I imagined and more. The steak meatballs were cooked to perfection, with incredible seasoning and a rich, flavorful sauce that tied the dish together beautifully. The salmon was absolutely delicious, with a subtle hint of Dijon mustard that elevated the flavor without overpowering it. The burger was juicy, tender, and cooked just right. Beyond the food, the atmosphere is what truly makes this place special. Located in a beautiful area of Fort Lauderdale, the waterfront seating provides stunning views and creates the perfect setting for any occasion. Whether you're enjoying a meal with colleagues, as I did, or planning a romantic dinner date, Kaluz offers a welcoming ambiance, exceptional service, and memorable dining experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food, beautiful scenery, and an overall outstanding restaurant experience. Rating: (5/5) read more

I haven't been to this location, but I have been to the one in Ft Lauderdale. It has been a very long time. Boy have i been missing out. Everything was very well prepared.

living in plantation, we don't have many higher end restaurants so Kaluz is always a great option. The ambience is so pretty inside and I love that they have a decorated tree in indoors. this time I only came in for some cocktails and some fries to pick on and I might've had a little dessert as well, and of course they were yummy but the food here is also made to perfection. if you're ever in plantation and looking for a high-end meal, this is your place. read more

Finally visited Kaluz for lunch. I enjoyed our stay here very much. I made the reservation so we were expected, and it was an early Sunday lunch ( noon) so if you came, they would have been able to sit you; however the hostess told us that their reservations were booked 2 weeks in advance for dinnertime: you have been warned! The restaurant has several areas with very nice modern decor, and a large bar are. Perfect for drinks and date time! We went to our booth for lunch and chitchat and just had one dish, no drinks. My friend ordered a chicken salad and I ordered the duck confit and both dishes were very nicely presented and tasted delish. They also brought bread for the table, but you have to ask for that. I noticed on the table next to ours one dish that turned out to be their signature flat bread, and vowed with my friend that next time we would order that! It looked and sounded amazing and was highly recommended by our waiter. We had a very good and relaxed time, great place to chat since the ambiance is not noisy but upscale, so we chatted uninterrupted to our heart's desire until it was time to go. Great place- will certainly be back! Enjoy. read more

This is an upscale American restaurant and bar that has several locations in Broward county and one in Wellington, FL. We went to their Plantantion location and almost missed it because there is a tree that covers the restaurant's name. Plenty of onsite parking, very stylist modern atmosphere but made cozy with the touches of wood everywhere. Food was really tasty and was delivered promptly by a friendly server. Portion are nice sized so if you want, you could easily share a plate and order more appetizers. We had their caramelizes pear and prosciutto flatbread with a drizzle of vinegar reduction that was really good! We also tried the shrimp cargot that was amazing. Shrimp were a bit overcooked but super super delicious and full of flavor. The baguette with the havarti cheese and butter? YUM!! We split a chicken Caesar salad that was good. And finished off with their bread pudding that had dried cranberries, Grand Marnier and vanilla custard. You will not be disappointed with the different choices and the quality (and portions) of their dishes. read more

Date night, actually we decided to celebrate Valentine's 2 days early. It was a while we had driven past Kaluz and wondered. Well it was a lovely experience. The decor and ambience very upscale. Love the high ceilings and water features, open kitchen. We decided to have a selection of starters. The ones we loved most were the calamari and the octopus, but the tuna tartare was lovely too. Our old fashion was top. Very well crafted. Check the photos. Service attentive. Happy to see reasonable prices versus what we are used to in Miami. I highly recommend. read more

We live in Tennessee and on Friday night, 01/23/26, we met an old friend at Kaluz Restaurant in Plantation, FL. This location is definitely a Hot Spot; the bar scene was vibrant and the restaurant was packed! We enjoyed Calamari, Caesar Salads, Duck Confit, and the Lamb/Beef Burger. Additionally, we enjoyed two rounds of their Spicy Watermelon Margarita, Mionetteo Brut Split, and Walking Fool wine. The food and service was SUPERB!!! Our dining experience was enhanced by the delightful personality and professionalism of Deven, our Server. read more

Bar Review Only: I Check out Kaluz on a recommendation. I did not have dinner and sat at the bar for drinks only. It's a very nice location with an upscale vibe. It has a great bar area with plenty of seating. The bar staff were all great and very attentive. They offer a nice selection of craft cocktails and other drinks. I started with a Lychee Martini. I loved it. It was perfect. My only disappointment was when I ordered a second drink and ask to upgrade the tequila on a margarita. They do not offer any clean, non preservative options. I was surprised. I hope to be back and check them out for dinner. read more

Thank You KALUZ for a wonderful Birthday dinner And a special shout out to Anthony , our server. He anticipated our wants and needs without even asking. !! He was very attentive and very knowledgeable about the food and specials. Our dining experience was very enjoyable and will always go to KALUZ for special dinners. Would recommend KALUZ to anyone interested in a special dining experience and definitely ask for Anthony as your waiter !!! read more

The first thing I noticed was there is not a lot of parking so you might have to valet. We got lucky and found a spot as someone was leaving. As soon as you walk in you are greeted and you can see the chefs cooking through the glass windows. We had reservations, so we sat quickly. Our waitress was nice and knew about the menu and how some food was prepared, which was helpful as someone in our party has a shellfish allergy and another has a Nutella allergy. The menu is not that big. We orders the steak meatballs, which was tasty as well as the calamari and the Brussel sprouts. The Brussel sprouts were so good! We then ordered lab burger, the ribs, and the porkchops. I asked for the apple cinnamon sauce on the porkchops to be put on the side and it wasn't. My Parmesan mashed potatoes were cold and I waited 20 minutes to get a proper knife to cut the pork chops. Our waitress wasn't as attentive once we received our food but it could have been because the restaurant was very busy. We then ordered the salted caramel brownie and the going bananas dessert and both were tasty. The going banana had the right amount flavor and we were able to taste the shaved coconut without it being overbearing. The restaurant has dim lighting perfect for a date night, nice decor, and seeing the chefs cook and prepare the food adds a nice touch to the experience. read more

I wanted to celebrate my birthday with a fantastic dinner with excellent service and that's exactly what I received from our server, Ashley. We booked a late table after leaving a different restaurant and still received a well-paced dinner complete with a birthday wish and candle. The decor gives off a modern nature vibe, it's fun yet relaxing and there is enough space in between the tables to feel intimate. I enjoyed the hell out of my steak and my partner devoured his cod. Everything was delicious and Kaluz now has us as guests for life, we want to make it our celebration spot! read more

"We were seated on time. Our waiter, Dylan or Dillon, was excellent. We narrowed our choices of wine bottles to two. He offered us a tasting and played a game with us regarding the wine. It was cute and clever. He was very attentive and courteous to our needs. The food at Kaluz is very consistent and delicious. We enjoy dining there." Unfortunately we didn't take pictures. We had the coconut shrimp appetizer which is delicious. The shrimp are large, cooked to perfection and served on top of a fruit chutney. There are four of them. We also shared the grilled artichokes. Also very good. My husband and I shared the pork chops. This is an excellent entree. We swapped out the mashed potatoes for sweet potato fries which are wonderful at Kaluz. We took home leftovers. The meal was topped off with their Affogato made with decaf espresso. We had a lovely evening! read more

After having a wonderful time and dinner on Thursday, I now have to write a poor review. I used my Amex to pay for my meal. Today I checked my charges on- line. Shortly after my luncheon, my card was used to purchase jewelry from Etsy.com without my permission. First, I do not wear or purchase jewelry, especially female jewelry. Second, according to Amex the charge was done within an hour of my departure. Third, the card is in my possession. Fourth, I have not used it since. I am extremely disappointed. The restaurant lost a customer. I prefer to use places where the server brings the charge machine to the table. Oh, via the restaurants website, contact us, I wrote to inform them of the situation. read more

Synopsis: overpriced, mediocre food hiding behind a beautifully designed restaurant and large portion sizes. This is a pretty big restaurant with a modern chic exterior and gorgeous interior. Plenty of seating, could easily have large parties here and they have a large bar. This is one of the most well decorated restaurants I've seen, lots of water features and dangling lights make it feel quite upscale and add a hint of intimacy. The staff was friendly enough. Very professional but definitely don't have that social, get to know you vibe. We ordered a steak and portobello mushroom flatbread for an appetizer. It was good, however the blue cheese wasn't the best choice of cheese for the flavors already on the flatbread. And that pretty much sums up every dish we had here. Great concepts of dishes but extremely poor execution. Lots of clashing flavors that just didn't mix well. Their portion sizes are quite large and feel like they try to make up for the poor flavor combinations with just giving you a large amount of food. We had the ribs and pork chops. Most everything was cooked well, which is hard with pork chops, but they came out very juicy, but that didn't save it from the awkward combination of flavors. We were really hoping to get dessert here cause the items looked delicious but ended up just taking the rest of our giant portions to go and skipping dessert. Oh, the cocktail my fiance had was very good. So, there's that. Overall, skip this. We spent 140$ after tip on a drink, app and two dinners and I could think of several other places we would have much rather have spent that money. read more

UPDATE to my original review!!!!! After my initial review, the restaurant's management reached out immediately. The owner personally invited us back as guests to give them another chance and genuinely wanted the opportunity to make things right. I want to specifically commend the manager for their professionalism, kindness, and accountability. While our first experience was disappointing, the way management handled the situation deserves recognition and respect. This update is to acknowledge the excellent customer service and responsiveness shown by the management team. read more

We arrived for an early dinner - Food was good, service was dissatisfying as we spent over $700 and we were told to leave because of a two hour sitting time. Tables were empty behind us side of us so it was just weird to see that we spent a lot of money and they still decided to come to our table to let us know that we kind of had to go. i did NOt Like that at all. - I won't be spending my money there anywhere read more

We stopped here on a Wednesday night to give it a try. The parking is a bit limited and they have valet service. Luckily, we found a spot close by. We sat at the bar and everyone was friendly and helpful. The decor inside was modern, clean, and dimly lit. We both had the fig old fashioned and loved the fig infused rye they used. I had the bourbon smash and the wife had the cucumber gin cocktail. Both were excellent. We tried the roasted octopus for our appetizer and it was really good. A tad spicy, so you've been warned. My wife had the pork chops and mashed potatoes and they were tasty and tender. I went with the cedar plank salmon with asparagus and their green bean side dish. All were cooked to perfection. Mike was our bartender and he was outgoing, professional, and fun. We will definitely be going back for another fun night. read more

Excellent food and service as expected. Antonia was a great server and took excellent care of our lunch dining experience.

Recently came here with my mother and brother as per usual and it was as we expected - I got my favorite, the beef and lamb burger. Delicious burger, but the bun was too soft and fell apart. We suggested to our waitress a firm bun but the burger is worth it. Bathroom passed the clean check. Will always go back. read more

Had a fantastic dinner here! Our server, Daniel, was friendly, attentive, and made the evening even better. We started with the chef's recommended chips and guacamole, which were amazing. The salsa had a refreshing and unexpected twist with flavors of cucumber and pear, so unique and delicious! My girlfriend ordered the filet mignon which came with a giant baked potato, both cooked perfectly and full of flavor. I went with the crab-crusted grouper, also recommended by the chef, and it was outstanding. The fish was incredibly fresh and expertly prepared, one of the best seafood dishes I've had in a while and I know great seafood. The food, service, and overall vibe made for a truly memorable evening. We'll definitely be back! read more

We recently dined at Klaus restaurant and were seated quickly. Which was a great start. The space itself is absolutely beautiful. Very contemporary and thoughtfully design one that the highlights is being able to see the chefs in the kitchen cooking. That part of the experience really sets the tone and makes it feel special. Alex initially came to take our drink order. And shortly after Jennifer stepped in and took over our table. She was friendly and she took our order. She brought bread about 10 minutes later. Unfortunately after that, we didn't see her again. My grandson and I would have love to order dessert and I would have enjoyed another drink. But we never had the opportunity. We finally had to ask another waiter for our check and felt like our table was forgotten, which was disappointing given how promising the experience started. The ambiance is wonderful and the concept is great. I just hope that the service can match the quality of the setting. Because with a little more tentativeness, this could truly be a standout dining experience. read more

Food was great. Service was good and ambiance is always good. Disappointing bc we went bc we wanted to use our coupon that they mailed us for $25 off $100 spent. We were with another couple and they were using their coupon and we had separate checks both well over $100 each.They wouldn't honor ours bc they said it was one coupon per table. No where on the rules in the mailer did it state that. We usually all four sit at the bar. I'm sure they would have honored if we sat there instead of a table with our friends. read more
