Casa Sensei
How to book: days ahead in high season, more for a canal-side/outdoor table (the whole point) — reserve via OpenTable/Tock and REQUEST waterfront seating; it's first-priority-but-request-based, so ask. For the set-piece, book the gondola cruise separately (docks at the restaurant; ~90-min rides, meals arranged onboard — confirm current schedule/price with the venue). On Las Olas — walkable from a downtown base.
Best meal: Dinner canal-side — the sushi/omakase bar + Pan-Asian comfort plates (pad thai, bao, bulgogi) with the gondolas going by is the experience; the setting is the occasion. Confirm the current menu on site.
Who it’s NOT for: budget-diners at the sushi/omakase end travelers wanting classic American/steak anyone needing a quiet room away from a lively waterfront patio walk-in-no-plan diners wanting the canal-side table in high season
