Thoroughly enjoyed that shareable prime rib sliders. The broccoli artichoke and chicken flatbread was heavy on chicken and cheese cheese, but could have used more of the green items. Our server Matthew was very attentive and informative.

It was really so good! I've been in the past, but it was never so great before. I had the traditional turkey and dressing and it was so moist and tasty. Not to mention really generous potions. I was very impressed. I would highly recommend.

Jose was our waiter. Fantastic service. Josh, the manager, checked on us several times to make sure all was to our expectations. Had a bottle of Justin Isoceles Cab Sauvignon (a bit pricey) that was to die for. The food was delicious and portions were more than we could finish. DJ started at 10 in the bar area and 2 wedding parties showed up. We joined the fun for after dinner drinks and people watching. A great dinner and great evening of fun and we didn’t even have to leave Hotel Zaza.

Food was good. We got the braised ribs and although very flavorful, they could have been more tender. Cheddar grits were very good as were the deviled eggs. Our server was very friendly but could have been more attentive. He also got our bill wrong twice. We love the ambience and noise level is very low.

Confusion when we arrived for our dinner reservation. We stood at the hostess stand for several minutes before anyone showed up to speak with us, and then sat in the bar for about 15 before a server even acknowledged us. Another server tried to tell someone behind the bar that we clearly had not been served yet (we didn’t even have water) and he said loudly “that’s not my table.” Eventually our assigned server did appear and from then onward, the experience was okay. Food was pretty good, drinks were acceptable. Honestly we’ve received better service from your average 4 star hotel restaurant. Not at all on par with anything associated with a Michelin star hotel.
