Editorial Review for Karu & Y Lounge – by Rick Munarriz
In Short
Everything you've heard about the lavish 25,000 square foot eatery is true. From the icicle chandelier sculpted by Dale Chihuly to the waterfalls and reflecting pool by the entrance, water and glass play major thematic elements in setting the fluid mood. Pre-theater crowds arrive early and the club hoppers show up late to feast on exotic "alta cocina" eats like octopus carpaccio and oxtail lasagna, and assorted tapas that pack big flavor into small portions.

I dont know what place these people are talking about but i LOVE this place! Great service, beautiful decor, and good music! The only bad thing is that it's location is not all that good, its in the middle of the "hood". I only recommend that you valet your car because the area is a little sketchy. Other than that VIP is ridic and the crowd is always great! Its a must when you are in Miami! Saturdays and Thursdays are really good :)!
Pros: Decor, Crowd, Service, Music
Cons: Location

I took my sister, my wife and 3 other girls to this club last Friday. The first problem I faceed with it is that the bars will not provide you with a detail check. They only give you the credit card summary, unless you fight with them to get you a detailed check. My bill had extra drinks or "extras" not ordered. Second, if your wife is tired and closes her eyes while sittind down in one of the private tables that costed us about $500.00 you get kicked out and called a drunk (even though I am a designated drived who hadn't drink any achohol). Yes, I was grabbed by my neck and kicked out of the club for absolutely no reason (unless, trying to talk to a rude security guard is a reason). If you are wondering, I am a not a college kid, I am a 35 year old executive at a fortune 500 company with a PhD from the University of Maryland. And I am handicapped. NEVER GOING BACK THERE AND I URGE YOU TO BOYCOTT IT!!
Pros: Nothing at all
Cons: Security, Billing, Treatment
