Les plus Si votre table est sur la terrasse près de l’eau, comme nous avons eu la chance, c’est plus que 5 étoiles. Les plats copieux et très savoureux. je recommande. Les améliorations possibles Nous avons été très déçus des calmars frits. On pourrait s’en procurer chez Costco. Il faudrait revoir la recette si celle-ci est vraiment une recette maison. En ce 30 décembre 2024, selon moi, il manquait de personnel. Avoir comblé celui-ci, l’expérience aurait été facilement supérieur à nos attentes. Je recommande assurément ce restaurant.

Expansive menu. We felt the flavors of the food to be okay. We were warned at the beginning that there was a 2 hour dining limit and that the food was made from scratch so to be patient with them. This all seemed fine but then the food started coming within literally a few minutes of us ordering. It felt pre-prepared and rushed. There is no way we would have even dined for an hour at the pace things went. It would have been ideal to have a bit more time to enjoy the dining experience. Service was good overall and we really liked dining outside near the water.

Probably one of the worst meals I have had. Ppl who worked there are very nice, so it’s not on them at all. We ordered three things (ribs, boa buns and seabass) and they all sucked. Ribs and pork belly were super dry and tough to eat. Also, it was super hot, seemed like the AC wasn’t working, so that was uncomfortable. Finally, out of there control, but we had the worst group of ppl around us that created an awful experience. Super loud and rude. Top 5 worst dining experience

Great ambience and service, and the outdoor seating by the water is amazing. Food was good, especially the sushi. Octopus was highly recommended and marketed as some of the best around, and it’s great, but certainly not the star of the show. Crab rangoons were good too.

Mark took wonderful care of us. He explained the menu to us and suggested his favorites. He was attentive and helpful. The food was fine, not what I expected from a highly rated restaurant but it was good. We sat outdoors and the view was beautiful.

I really enjoyed my trip to Casa Sensei for dinner! Our server Mark was very attentive, kind, and had some great recommendations. The chimichurri beef was one of our favorites along with the octopus and the lobster guacamole. Their sushi was also excellent. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is dining in the Fort Lauderdale area.
