Reviews
For food, we tried the lobster guacamole, which was flavorful but came in a tiny portion, and the accompanying tortilla chips were a bit too chewy. The perfumed roasted duck was a standout — tender, aromatic, and beautifully presented. The braised octopus with vegetables was perfectly cooked.
We paired the meal with a crisp white wine from New Zealand, which went well with the seafood and duck.
Service was good, and the atmosphere was pleasant, lively yet refined. A beautiful spot overall, especially if you can snag a table by the water, but some dishes could use more generous portions and a bit more attention to textures.
Our waiter, Thomas, was absolutely amazing. He took the time to thoroughly explain the menu, offered thoughtful recommendations, and made sure everyone in our party felt comfortable and excited about their selections. Beyond his knowledge, his personality really elevated the evening he kept the conversation flowing, shared great jokes, and created such a welcoming, upbeat atmosphere. He genuinely made our first experience there unforgettable.
The service was attentive, the energy was vibrant, and the overall experience was exactly what you hope for when celebrating a special occasion. Thomas is a fantastic addition to the staff, and we sincerely hope he’ll be our waiter again when we return which we definitely will.
Highly recommend for celebrations or a great night out!
Our server, Joe, was exceptional. He had a calm, welcoming presence and provided outstanding service throughout our visit. He was incredibly attentive, answered all of our questions with patience and warmth, and genuinely made us feel well taken care of. Servers like Joe make all the difference, and I sincerely hope we’re lucky enough to be seated with him again.
Without question, I’ll be returning—and I’m already looking forward to trying the dinner cruise as well. A wonderful experience all around!
This place its great. It has inside and outside dinning room. I definitely recommend to seat outside. Its located next to a Canal, you can dinner next to the water. Such a beautiful place.
Service is fast, food is fast, drinks are great. Super clean and a magical atmosphere.
Our server name was Christian, he was on top of the table without been too much. He explained all details about the food and he recommended a dulce de leche cheesecake that was to die for it.
Soft beautiful music. Water next to our table, great service and impecable food.
I would like to recommend the Argentinian Beef empanadas, the korean steak and the dulce de leche cheesecake.!!!
They accept reservations
This is a must go!!
Food
We ordered the much promoted Wagyu Steak Burger, the one placed dead center on the menu and labeled as their specialty. It definitely sounds impressive: foie gras, chutney, provolone, even sheets of gold. In reality, it was… peculiar. Despite being cooked medium and perfectly pink inside, the patty was strangely very dry. Zero juice. For something advertised as Wagyu, that’s a red flag because from experience, it’s extra juicy. It genuinely made me question whether we were being fooled.
Worth noting: every item we chose on the menu, including this burger and the rolls, was labeled as a “favorite.” Based on that, the expectations were high.
The burger came with fries fried in duck fat, which also missed the mark. Crispy, yes, but overly thick and lacking any real flavor. We had one or two and abandoned the rest.
We also tried two rolls. Presentation was solid, but the taste was completely average. Nothing wrong with them, but nothing memorable either.
Service
Our waitress was the bright spot: pleasant, patient, and genuinely friendly. No complaints here.
Atmosphere
Beautiful decor, great energy, and a solid location. They’ve done an excellent job creating a space you actually want to sit in.
Overall, Casa Sensei hits the vibe and the service, but the food, especially the dishes they highlight as “favorites” were disappointing and made us regret the 40min drive south.
