My seared tuna was the worst I’ve ever had. My wife’s short ribs were cold. Waiter seemed nice guy but could not care less that our food took an hour to come out in a half full restaurant. The Calamari was horrible. Honestly the worst meal experience I’ve had at that price point. Would never recommend or go back. I don’t like writing reviews but that bad experience is worth complaining about.
Ridiculously loud pounding music. If you want to be able to have a conversation with your dining partners, go somewhere else. We were a party of 8 and it was impossible to hear anyone at our table or our waiter. He couldn't hear us either so we had to point to everything we wanted to order on the menu. To their credit, the food was good. But way too loud to enjoy our group dinner. Not going back. Not recommended.
I recently dined at Zama and unfortunately, the experience left much to be desired. Despite having a reservation, my party and I were seated about 25 minutes late. From the moment we walked in, it was evident the service was lacking. To add to the disappointment, salads arrived with very minimal dressing and we had to request for more, which didn’t come until after we were finished with the salads… sushi also arrived without soy sauce. Another letdown came with my filet, which was served very undercooked. After requesting it... read more
A. Our waiter was not able to answer any questions about the food- he had no clue what he was doing B. Service took forever, we had to wait for an hour to get our drinks and apps C. After the one hour wait, we got something we didn’t even order in the first place
This is a cute place and their menu was eye-catching too. Had a 6:30 rez on a Saturday evening and was sat right away. However that’s where the good service ended. Took about 20 minutes to get my glass of wine, after reminding server. Then I was told “no substitutions on a Saturday night” in response to me informing server I was allergic to a side on the entree, asking for a substitute. Along this same line, after we closed out our bill 70 minutes after our rez, the server said to us “ we have over 300 reservations tonight s... read more
Waited two hours and a half for food. Waiter came by a handful of times 3-4 times max. Both tables eating next to us were served and checked out by the time we got an appetizer. We were still expected to pay full price too. Other waiter serving two tables by us was very helpful and was apologetic of the situation.
Food taste (and portions) didn’t match the price tag. Had to wave waiters down for service… you’re paying for the atmosphere with this one.
Food and service were decent, but the noise level was loud enough to leave me with mild, temporary tinnitus. Shockingly loud at points.
Showed up 5 mins before our reservation, hostess told us 5 mins. We waited 10 mins outside while she sat a number of other. She apologized and found us a seat at the bar to wait until our table is ready. We watched her sit about 7 other couples, including those without reservations. We never got a table so I can’t say how good the food is, but the bartenders and drinks were great. After about 45 of waiting, we ended up leaving to have dinner somewhere else.
