" A great experience at Baru, but I found the portions too small for the price. The tuna sashimi was fresh and beautifully plated, but I hoped for a bit more. Service was attentive, though, and the vibe in the restaurant felt very upscale. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an enjoyable experience at Baru. Our service was friendly, and the staff seemed knowledgeable about the menu. We particularly liked the crispy rice with spicy tuna. On the downside, it can get quite loud when it fills up like it did on a Wednesday evening—but still a fun atmosphere overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner experience at Baru. They made us feel very welcome, and our server was knowledgeable about the menu. The Wagyu Tartare was particularly memorable. I left with a good feeling and a full stomach! " (*Curated Review*)

" The lunch specials at Baru are a steal! I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty the rolls were, especially for the price. The service was prompt too, making it a great spot for a quick bite or a leisurely lunch. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Baru was underwhelming unfortunately. I expected much more for the price. While the decor is inviting, the food quality didn't match the hype. The tuna roll felt generic and lacked seasoning. Service was acceptable but not particularly engaging. I might try again if I’m in the area, but my first experience didn’t wow me. " (*Curated Review*)

" Went to Baru with my friends for a special occasion, and it was certainly a great choice! The variety of cocktails was impressive, and our server was attentive throughout the meal. We got a nice platter of sushi and an assortment of appetizers, all of which were delightful! I recommend the scallop fried rice—really delicious. " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere at Baru was incredible, but sadly the food didn't live up to it. My sushi was just okay—not bad, just not remarkable. Next time, I might just stick to cocktails and skip the food. Disappointed. " (*Curated Review*)
