                                                        My family and I went for the summerlicious menu and already planning to go back. The flavours were explosive, delicious. Cara was very good with suggestions when we weren’t sure what to get because everything looked and sounded amazing. I’m gluten free and thought the gf options were very appealing - the vodka sauce was incredible with gf penne.

                                                        We’ve come several times for brunch and this was the first time that the salad that usually comes with the breakfast sandwich was just lettuce (no other vegetables, like radishes or tomatoes ) looked unfinished and felt like you were cheaping out. Especially when the price is the same.

                                                        The vibe was just negative in there. Everyone working there was just miserable and frankly I just wanted to eat and get out of there.

                                                        Food and service were outstanding. They gave our family the private dining area which was so special. Our waiter treated us like gold. Thank you for everything. Zuzu remains one of my favourite restaurants. Price is very reasonable and worth it.

                                                        Excellent meal and service overall. I have dined here many times and it is always enjoyable. My only criticism for this experience only was the bottle of wine ordered was not chilled properly making it less enjoyable. Will not discourage me from going back as the team at Zuzu is outstanding, the food is always good and is truly a local gem! Highly recommended- see you soon
