ETARU

I went here for a birthday brunch and I forgot how amazing this place is. The decor here was beautiful. I love the indoor and outdoor dining area. We did their seasonal buffet and it was a great value with the entry drink, unlimited wine, entree and buffet. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. As well as the other staff. Great experience overall and I would recommend.

My close friend asked for recommendations around the area for his birthday and i remembered Etaru from their prime 2018/2019. Fast forward we go for his birthday drinks, and ended up sitting down and ordering food while our other friends got there. The service felt rushed and annoyed. Not just by our server but the whole restaurant from the bartender to the bus boy. We sat down on a Tuesday afternoon for a table of 8, mind you this place has 20 tables of which only 2 other tables were sat- you would think they would appreciate the few costumers they have. After our meal we met with the other 10 friends who are at the bar, only to hear the same from them as well regarding the restaurant staff- we all felt unwelcome during our visit. No we were not loud or rude, we are all in our late 20s even early 30s. The bartender refused to keep tabs open and kept cleaning up the bar after each drink knowing we were all still ordering despite closing our tabs. This was now 9pm and according to their hours they closed at 10pm. he did last round at 9:30 for which we got the message and simply ran out of there. The food was mediocre at best and the service left a bitter taste in all our mouths. This is one place i wouldn't feel bad if they closed, they clearly don't want the costumers.

I came here for Sunday brunch for the last brunch of the bachelorette trip. I came with my best friend and SIL for a beautiful peaceful brunch. At first when the restaurant was mostly empty they sat us behind the hostess stand. We asked to move because there were so many open tables. They then tried to sit us by the kitchen and then another table that was so wobbly that the drinks would have completely shattered if not balanced properly. We finally were moved to a corner only to be abruptly moved half way through to yet another table half way through our meal to accommodate another party. If you clocked 5 total moves before our last course you would be right. Honestly it felt rude and dismissive. Though the food was great the lack of respect to have us table hop throughout the restaurant made me feel like I could never in good conscience recommend the place. The manager did not even ask us she just stated that they would be moving our things elsewhere. If this was a review solely on service I would have given it 0 stars.Food was great but completely overshadowed by the hostess and managers who seemed to not really care about our group.

This place is wonderful! The location is amazing overlooking the beach. The decor is absolutely beautiful..modern, yet traditional Japanese all in one. The drinks were fantastic and a huge selection of them. The staff was so friendly and the Chef even sent over an additional appetizer for us to enjoy...but let's talk about what really counts..the Food! One of the best meals I have had in a long time. I had a Skirt Steak with a Wasabi Chimichuri my wife had a filet with a trio of sauces. Both were absolutely delicious!!!!and cooked to perfection. The desert was amazing and a beautiful finale to a terrific meal and experience. Definitely treat yourself to this place if you're in the area. Enjoy!

- [x] I was invited for birthday dinner and I will say ask for Marina as server, your experience will be phenomenal Not being familiar with the sake menu, she gave us some amazing recommendations. Now let's get to the food, I love me some veggies so the Brussels sprouts and the mushrooms were delicious. Now as appetizers I went with the oysters and pork dumplings and both were incredible Entree I ordered the Tomahawk which was tender, juicy, perfectly cooked.If you are looking for a nice spot with beautiful ocean view, good food, try it I won't regret.

The ambience is amazing. Going to this place. It's extremely expensive. Sushi is extremely mediocre... I ordered a spicy tuna roll. I actually expected tuna and the spicy tuna roll... I know you're paying for the tuna a bunch of vegetables.

I'm so sad! We loved the old location on Las Olas, so we decided to try this one out. We arrived just before sunset. The outdoor patio is super romantic, and the view of the beach is gorgeous. Unfortunately, our waitress was super awkward. She seemed flustered and rushed (although they did not appear to be busy).It took quite some time to order drinks and equally as long for them to come out. Regardless of time, the service was not on level with the ambiance. The waitress ended up losing the credit card of the table next to us, which prolonged our visit as well. The food was good. We ordered Hamachi, octopus, braised beef sando with truffle cheese, crispy brussel sprouts, and black cod. My favorites included the sando and the brussel sprouts. I wish I could be more positive, but I'm still in shock about this waitress. It was just so awkward. It killed the whole vibe.

Delicious and reasonably priced for their Sunday brunch. HIGHLY RECOMMENDGreat view of the ocean along with great sun and a slight breeze

The octopus was tough, rubbery and impossible to chew, the service was good, the atmosphere was not bad

Yikes! I failed with this one. Definitely a tourist trap with prices like this and the food quality being subpar at best. $20 to valet and no parking available. Management refused to look at over overcooked appetizer. I was not offered any recourse and told this was the way it's served. Sushi was mushy almost as if it was made or prepped days before. My wife was very disappointed with the sushi and octopus. The burger is mandated to a medium temperature. This is because the burger patty is brought in? I asked for medium rare and they refused. $30 for a burger that's coming in frozen or maybe refrigerated? I don't know but it was dry and not worth the price in my opinion.
