    First time at la fuga and we really enjoyed it. Night we were there they had live music which consisted of a sax and bass player, nice touch and not too loud. Service staff was so pleasant and nobody rushed you. The outdoor seating area with the warming stations was well done and provided a fun place to sit. Food was really good, the dishes we hand you could tell were hand made just popped with flavor. Would recommend trying if in the area.

    Our only disappointment with the restaurant was not having visited it sooner. Living in the neighborhood, we bypassed it many times before venturing out on a Monday night. To our amazement, the food, the ambiance and service were beyond expectations. Our server, Thomas, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. His recommendation of a variation of our usual unfiltered sake was right on. Walking us through the menu, we selected the tuna tower, the Korean barbecue with rice, the grilled octopus and the crispy duck entre. All were excellent but the octopus and the duck were particularly noteworthy. Having worked in Turkey for many years, we can appreciate the correct way to tenderize and char grill octopus. Here, it was done to perfection. Likewise, the duck was crispy on the outside yet still moist on the inside after being sliced and quartered. The outside seating was not overcrowded like many similar venues, and the volume of the music did not preclude us from having strained conversations. While pricey by some Fort Lauderdale standards, it was well worth. Lastly, we were pleased that are open table reservation was promptly honored notwithstanding a busy restaurant.

    My husband and I celebrated my birthday at Nube and it was awesome! The food was so delicious, I almost asked to see the chef. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable about everything on the menu. Her service was excellent and very professional. We went with her suggestions on the wagyu steak with truffle fries and cheese board and everything was perfect. My husband had the salmon and wagyu dumplings and he enjoyed it very much. Overall the service was great and I had a wonderful birthday dinner. Also thank you for the delicious complimentary chocolate birthday cake!
