A michelin star is not far away. Exceptionally delicious food. The waygu steak frites is delectable and the cacio de pepe pasta with truffles is sublime. I am looking forward to returning and trying other delicacies. A must try. And the staff does not fall behind, Ana, our server was amazing! Can't wait to return.

Came from Philly and nyc and we couldn’t have been happier with the beautiful and unforgettable food and drinks. I cannot get over the wine list - sick as hell. Obsessed with the commitment to ethical, sustainable sourcing and as a Florida native I loved learning about everything that was coming from Florida to my plate! I told my partner it’s been the best meal I’ve had in 2026. Krus will be memorable for so many reasons but the biggest will be Kat, she was absolutely wonderful! She provided ideal service and we had such lovely conversation. We cannot wait to come back and enjoy even more from your team!

Fantastic experience - didn’t expect much as I thought it might be gimmicky due to the show - but the food was amazing. Hands down the best risotto I’ve ever had, and I’ve eaten a lot of risotto! Would definitely recommend!

The experience excelled upon arrival. We were greeted at the desk with a “Happy Anniversary” as we were celebrating. Champagne glasses were dispersed at the desk as we waited for our table. Alejandro was our server and did an excellent job, being attentive yet giving us space. The seafood tower for two was delicious and plentiful, so much so that my wife opted for just the corvina ceviche as an entree. I had the arroz meloso which was flavorful and large enough to share with her. Our waiter brought out a small cake to celebrate our anniversary after our meal. Aside from the unexpected rain it was a perfect evening.
