"Opened as Hallandale Beach’s first and only container restaurant, I find KAO Bar & Grill is a two-story spot built from repurposed shipping containers that offers a 5,000-square-foot space with an alfresco patio featuring wooden accents, lounge chairs, plenty of sofas, and a 14-seat bar serving a wide selection of beers, wines, and cocktails; floor-to-ceiling windows surround the main dining room to keep guests connected to the outdoors. The menu focuses on Argentine fare—shareable tablitas (grilled platters), Argentine-style pizzas, and sandwiches—along with an extensive meat selection including skirt steak, NY strip loin, ribeye, and Patagonian lamb ribs, and desserts like churros with ganache or dulce de leche, skillet chocolate chip cookies, and tres leches cake. I also note a 30-day Uber and Lyft promotion offering locals $25 off per ride for two to and from the restaurant with the code "D8 Night," that the second-level dining room is available for private events, and that KAO Bar & Grill is located at 11 NE First Ave. in Hallandale Beach and is open 11:30 a.m.–10 p.m. Sunday–Wednesday and until 11 p.m. Thursday–Saturday, with happy hour 4–7 p.m. Monday–Friday." - Olee Fowler
