   5 of us had dinner -- got to try a number of dishes and even re-ordered a few because they were so good. Great variety and ambiance (we were there on a Sunday so not too crowded and noise level was perfect).

   The service and drinks were good. However, I expected something better in the food experience.

   Overall th experience was good ! Staff is very polite attentive and pleasant, atmosphere aesthetic and music of the place is 10+, interesting menu and variety of cocktails, loved that there is a small variety of non alcoholic cocktails (since I am a no drinker ) we celebrated our wedding anniversary here so restaurant surprised us with a delicious desert was very nice of them ! Ceviche delish! Octopus yum! Unfortunately the only thing that ruined the 5 star review is the Lomo dish with filet mignon that was bad and I don’t mean badly cooked but mostly meat was probably expired or kept in a wrong temperature because it had a terrible taste , I know i should of say something especially because the dish was costing 40$+ and for the staff to know but was not in a mood for that , overall I would of give another try this place !

   The food at Kayao is fantastic, with a cozy dining room and attentive wait staff. The location is perfect for grabbing a bite before heading to Second City or Zanies.

   Reggaeton blasting at 5pm on a Sunday. We couldn’t enjoy ourselves or the conversation. It detracted from the entire experience and made everything else mediocre at best.

   Food was overpriced and not very good. Fried rice should not be 31 dollars

    Food was excellent! Service was very swift. Unluckily the waiter spilled some sauce over one of our coats, and the waiter was trying to ignore it - however the manager reacted very professional (voiding our bottle of wine from the bill). Therefore over all: great, we definitely recommend this place!
