This is my second time coming to Zama. Beautiful ambiance, great music. Apparently a DJ that the owner knows personally. First time had a great time sitting at the bar. Very energetic and I loved it.

Overall everything was good. What was lacking was the service/experience. There were only 5 tables with guests and yet no one really came by once food and drinks were served. Giving it a 5 and another shot when I come back. Food ordered; Bone marrow Oysters Grilled corn Japanese yuzu Sashimi

Are we dancing at a club or eating hanging ou... read more

We had the filet mignon and salmon, and both were excellent. Asparagus was okay. Drinks were good. The food is a little overpriced but the quality, service, and ambiance was great!
