    I cannot rave enough about this place. It's probably my favorite place in Ft. Lauderdale, and among the top 10 in my list of spectacular restaurants in South Florida; maybe even the U.S. The service, the food, the bar and the wine, combined with a location that fills your eyes and places your soul in direct contact with the blue and divine waters of the Atlantic ocean. one eats at Takato and experiences nirvana in every manner imaginable. What more can one ask for? Takato, keep it up!

    The food was absolutely delicious! We had the duck bao buns, California roll, baked scallops, miso soup, eel roll, spicy tuna roll, all delicious! My Bonsai Mule wasn’t as delicious as usual, I was brought some mango juice and ginger beer to mix it to my liking which was ok. Unfortunately our waitress wasn’t very attentive. She put in the wrong order and then became defensive and blamed one of our party for her mistake. Afterwards she walked back and forth and never asked how we liked our meals, brought our check without a thank you or any comment about whether everything was ok with our meals. We got better and more friendly attention from her assistant busboy who couldn’t have been nicer and more attentive. One of our guests was celebrating a birthday which the staff was aware of and nothing was brought over to the table so what was the point of asking if we were celebrating any special occasion. Food was absolutely delicious, waitress needs training from the busboy. Hope to get better service if we return.
