    Zuma made our Valentine’s Day experience really amazing! Thanks to the amazing staff, servers and chefs. Kelly and Umberto were really amazing in responding to my inquiries. They ensured that the evening went as expected. The music, Roses and Rosé station really elevated the experience. Kudos to Zuma. I will be back again and again and again!

    All around amazing experience! Only 2 small complaints: they took my drink away before i wash finished (but then took it off the bill), & the chef, who was sooo talented, was inaudible even after I said “What?” Like 3 times, so I had no idea what I was eating. It was all delicious though and I can’t wait to go back!

    They do everything well at Oceans. The seafood tower was a great way to start. The Dover Sole is one of the best dishes in town. And the Lobster Mac and Cheese was also great. Very gracious hosts, servers, and somm.

    It's great to enjoy delicious Japanese food at a reasonable price in the heart of Manhattan. The oysters were fresh, and the sauce had a delightful Japanese flavor. The sushi offered a nice variety of choices and was equally enjoyable. I’d love to go back again.
