Loved this place! Overlooking the water, nice atmosphere, great food. It gets crowded, so make a reservation. It's expensive, but a very nice place to enjoy an evening.

I have been to Zuma several times over the past year and although the food is quite delicious, the space is impossibly LOUD and the wait staff is hit and miss. This could be partially due to the fact that it is very busy, however, since it is ALWAYS busy, that is not actually an excuse. For the money, I... More

Despite the pricey-ness of this restaurant, it is a place worth visiting over and over again. I have been to zuma quite a few times and it is always a delicious experience. I strongly recommend trying at least one sushi roll - I love the spicy yellowtail. The sushi is incredible because of the very thin layer of rice and... More

First you need to make reservations at least one week in advance. I made reservations on Tuesday for Saturday night and the only time I could get was 10:30pm; but I did not mind. Our wait time for our table was about 5 mins, even though we were five minutes late in arriving. The service was great. The food was... More

What a memorable evening! We started with extremely special cocktails (rhubarb, vanilla, passion fruit) as our waiter Giovanni guided us through the menu. All dishes were beyond expectation.

You have to make reservation in advance. Lunch and dinner (tasting menu) are always great but my favorite is their Sunday brunch. You are free to stay as long as you like - no rush. This is not your traditional brunch - no eggs, bacon or pancake here. Unlimited champagne, Japanese sangria and Sake. Top end sushi and your choice... More

For normal people we stuck out like a sore thump to the rich people. I felt very uncomfortable here and so did my hubby. I had two sushi rolls we both shared and he had a small steak. It was good but a hundred bucks good? No. The waiter seemed to treat us like outsiders. Even though I was in... More
