    It's been awhile since I've been to Zuni Cafe. The entire experience from start to finish was delightful. The Zuni Cafe's famous Chicken was scrumptious and worth the wait. I will surely return soon.

    The experience was phenomenal! I can’t believe it took me this long to enjoy a fantastic meal. You will not be disappointed. My friend and I enjoyed the beets salad, ceasar salad, bread/butter, marinated olives, and order the chicken for two, it will not fail you. We each had a cocktail and to close our meal; coffee with a pavlova. A total must. Let’s be clear, we will be back.

    Food tasted very good. Had their signature chicken dish which was roasted to perfection. And the Espresso Granita dessert was delicious. However, everything we ate was cooked with too much salt, and we all drank volumes of water afterwards.

    I've been luck to go to Zuni for over 30+ years. Still as fresh as ever, food that's terrific, and a patina of warmth and hospitality that never fails.
