    Absolutely the best meat and service! We have been in other meat high end restaurants and this is by far the best one. The chef knows exactly how to prepare the beef and the perfect point. My party ordered from medium rare to medium well and they were cooked to perfection. Also we asked for the crown/toppings for the beef and most of us did not use it at the end, as the beef was perfect without it. The rest of the food and cocktails were amazing. Our server was the best. Feel free to ask for Paul to take care of you!

    My experience at Baru was absolutely delightful. My boyfriend and I went there for a nice dinner date to celebrate his birthday and their food was exquisite. I got the spicy tuna roll and it met my expectations (I am very picky). Our waiter was very kind and gave us great recommendations of what to get. Our server, Jacob, also gave us free Mochi ice cream in coconut and strawberry flavors. I am not even a fan of mochi but this mochi was so good! I would confidently say this is the best sushi place I have ever been too! The vibe was so aesthetic and it was very classy vibe. It was quiet in there as we were there on a Monday and there were only a couple of other people in there. I would 100% recommend going to Baru! The bathrooms were very clean and super cool looking too! Lastly, Sushi rolls for 50% off when we visited so that was nice.
