"Originally launched in Miami, this outpost brings coastal swagger and a see-and-be-seen energy to its Fontainebleau location, pairing a high-tempo soundtrack and bold, sensual interiors with photogenic, shareable Southeast Asian–fusion plates. Start with delicate truffle honey salmon—silky sashimi rolled into spirals with a honey and black-truffle glaze and minced scallions—move to rich Chilean sea bass glazed in mild saikyo miso that elevates the fish’s umami, and try the surf-and-turf fried rice, which combines briny Maine lobster with savory wagyu for a deceptively simple but luxurious centerpiece." - Janna Karel

"I’m looking at early adopters of that trend — like Esther’s Kitchen with that sourdough and recent imports like the Fontainebleau’s Komodo with its nori-topped milk bread and the Amari Italian Kitchen & Wine Shop’s herb-topped focaccia." - Janna Karel
"Across the casino, Groot Hospitality’s Komodo on the fringes of the Promenade food hall is a sprawling, red-drenched clubstaurant. [...] David Grutman, the founder of Groot Hospitality, recommends the lobster dynamite, scooped onto squares of crispy rice, and the Thai beef jerky, supple bites of spiced beef, served warm." - Janna Karel
