Karu & Y Lounge

09/27/2008 Posted by princessnay

I went on thursday 9/25 for the reopening , it was the worse experience. First of all i had reservations and was outside the club at midnight i didn't get in until 1:20am the club was way to crowded. after spending $1,200 for my party of 6 to try to be comfortable at our table in vip it got more crowded than the regular part of the floor only learning the reason behind that is because if you tipped the guard $10 or $20 he would let you into vip. i know he made money than we had to wait over an hour to get our car from vip because the forced everyone to park vip and they wouldn't give you your own keys to go get your own car. I'm really hoping that this is because it was the reopening night cause i know a lot of people who are never going again.

Pros: the club looks nice

Cons: rude workers all around, very unorganized especially for first night opening

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

This is the worst restaraunt I have ever eaten at. The waiters were completely inept, it seems as if they were hired for looks as opposed to ability. They need to fire this chef

Pros: none

Cons: everything

This place has a confusion of entity, restaurant, lounge and club. What is it? If I go to a restaurant that is this upscale I expect the best from service to food. The food is weak, flavors can't comprehend. Styles don’t care for it. I guess that is the reason fine dining restaurants don't make it in this city, due to substandard Food. Is it the Chef? I guess, this is just one instance of his repeated failure to do his job.

Pros: Y lounge

Cons: Food

this is the worst food I ever had!!!! no words can describe the dissapointment, took clients there trying to impress them instead i was embarrased and these were "vip" clients which no one even knew who they were but, owner of very high profile companies. to say the least my food was cold, tasteless i just dont understand why if the place is so beautiful...I will not return to eat...

Pros: ambiance, decor

Cons: worst food ever, fire chef

Being in all around the world best , best restaurants is easy to say but hard to acomplish: there are already a few really good ones. Not once but about 4 - 5 times we, my husband and I and, in a couple of ocassions with our daughters and some family members and friends, had the pleasure of eat at Karu & Y. This is the only thing that I will say about a restaurant, and I think it's more that enough to say. Excellent food, gorgeous presentation, unique combination of flavors to pleased the most demanding palate. Awesome all the way!

Pros: Excellent decor and ambience. Incredible innovative and out of this world food. A+++++++

Cons: The sorroundings, the city is only the City Manager problem and it must be improved.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MANAGEMENT DOES NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE FOOD OR WHO EVER INCHARGE IS. HONESTLY THE FOOD IS BAD. I GUESS NO ONE LISTENS. KEEP IT UP KARU; YOU ARE HEADING THE RIGHT DIRECTION. IF I WAS THE OWNER I WILL FIRE WHO EVER IS IN CHARGE OF CREATING THIS SO CALL CULINARY ARTISTRY...HORRIBLE.

Pros: Decor, Service

Cons: Food, Chef. Location

Beautiful restaurant but food needs work. The decor of this place is amazing; there is a gorgeous Dale Chihuly chandelier in the center of the dining room. The waiters are dressed in very chick outfits, but in my opinion the food does not fit this place. It’s hard to understand and the menu does not have an identity. Food is not up to quality of the restaurant, prices are too high for what it is. Food wasn’t fresh and lack flavor. The couple of dishes I had did not make sense and not executed correctly. Desserts were atrocious. I hope they appoint the challenge of this establishment because it has a potential of success. After reading the reviews now I agree with them.

Pros: Decor

Cons: Food

I recently visited Karu for my anniversary dinner and the experience was remarkable. Aside from the beautiful décor and friendly staff, the food was delicious. I had the Kobe Steak and my boyfriend had the short ribs. The food was scrumptious – everything was well-seasoned and tender. The chocolate dessert we shared was mouthwatering (next time I’m getting my own). After dinner, we headed to the club next door until the late hours. The night was AWESOME!! I look forward to our next visit.
