It was our first time at Zama and was attracted to this place because of the Instagram photos. The place was cute and definitely Instagram worthy. FOOD: 2 stars out of 5 stars We ordered two dinner entrees. 1. scallops with risotto: The scallops were not cooked well. They were tough and chewy. The risotto was borderline cold to lukewarm warm.

Great atmosphere, service, right music level, great food!
The restaurant is beautiful and has great food, but the service not so much.
It was my first time at Sam’s and I love the food. The sushi was delicious 😋 Love the aesthetic of the restaurant and the service was great.
Excellent food, service, and atmosphere!! We will definitely return!
When I walked in, I was blown away by the beautiful decor. It was pretty loud but it started to calm as we ate. The service was great. We didn’t have just one waiter, they all worked together. Their communication must have been amazing because we never had to remind anyone or repeat ourselves. My husband took me for my birthday and we had a great time. The sushi is AMAZING!! We were half full from the appetizer and took our entrees home. I would recommend for anyone looking for a great vibe.
The atmosphere is amazing! Music & service was great! The food & drinks were delicious. Such a cute hidden gem.
Had high expectations and it did not meet them, but still a good place to go and enjoy a few drinks and some appetizers.
Food just average, nothing special about the place. Just a trend spot. Expect the waiter to bring the check before you finish a drink/food.
