Celeste greeted us warmly and helped us select a wonderful table for our party. The food was excellent! Our server, Maria, made sure we were satisfied with every choice, and her recommendations were spot on and absolutely delicious. The manager was also very attentive, which made the entire experience even better!
We were amazed by this restaurant ! The portions are big and the steak was hot and delicious, something we always struggle with. The coconut shrimp delicious . The crab cakes were ok … The view is beautiful
Oksana is the most detailed and attentive server we have EVER sat with in all of our years at Kaluz. She is absolutely fabulous and a has the most charming personality. Seriously request her, her professionalism does not compare to the other workers there. I mean this with the utmost respect as management does a great job in training their staff. But she is pleasant and super knowledgeable. & she’s bi-lingual French Spanish Ukrainian She’s awesome
We were seated promptly for our reservation! Carmen was hands down the best server- she explained the specials food and drinks with her personal recommendations! Our drinks were good and a good pour! The food was a great temp and very flavorful! The salmon dip was the best ever! We will surely be back here again!
Great ambiance, service and food! We dined at the bar outside. This was our 2nd time here and we enjoyed it again; ordered a cucumber martini, smoked salmon dip, guacamole & chips, and Cesar plan salmon w/rice & mashed potatoes and had the espresso affogato for dessert
My first the here and it was a perfect day to sit outside. Beautiful view, beautiful weather and great company. We started with the steak meatballs.. so juicy, huge portion for an appetizer and full of flavor. Then the grilled octopus. I've never had octopus before so I was TERRIFIED of what the texture would be. This was seasoned to perfection but not too much. I little spicy was no overpowering. Texture i would compare to calamari but thicker. Next the calamari lol. The best I've ever tried anywhere. Coconut shrimp was next and let me say that I am not a fan of coconut shrimp... BUT this dish was not drenched in coconut like other places. The cranberry sauce that it was paired with made a great combination. Too full for an entree but my company insisted on the lamb burger. I love it!!! Wehad it medium rate. Very juicy,literally juices falling from it. I think it was an aioli sauce they used in not sure but whatever it was brought it all together. I had a great time. Staff was very attentive and friendly. Definitely spinning the block on this one!!
Kaluz is always a vibe... when the weather is comfortable, get seated outside... the view is incredible watching the yachts/boats pass by... I like to try the seasonal chef suggestions when it comes to my meal, just to keep things interesting... just make sure to leave room for dessert! The options are beyond delicious.... I love the bread pudding and the banana cake!
Kaluz Restaurant — decent, but nothing special. The ambiance is nice and the food is solid, but nothing truly stands out. Dishes are well-presented and the flavors are fine, just not memorable. The main point — the service. Friendly, but a bit slow and not as attentive as you’d expect at this level. A firm 4/5. Bottom line: good if you’re in the area, but not worth a special trip.
