"So the couple you’re double dating with suggested to do dinner in Brickell. Rather than blocking their numbers, social media accounts, and never speaking to them again—just suggest Kaori. This place is one of Brickell’s best restaurants and least-obnoxious options for a nice dinner. Their best entree, the kurobuta kan-kan pork chop, also happens to be a perfect thing for four people to split. It’s a huge slab of pork with a nice mix of fatty and lean pieces. It comes with bao buns, lettuce wraps, and more tasty construction materials. Their downstairs bar also doubles as a listening lounge, and it’s another good place to redirect the couple who’s probably going to suggest post-dinner drinks at Sexy Fish.
