Group Therapy is Hotel ZaZa’s sky lounge and restaurant located on level seven overlooking the hotel pool and Republic Square Park. The journey to every venue at ZaZa is a joyful adventure with unique architectural features, artwork and one of a kind treasures at every turn.

Cozy booths surround the bar and comfortable sofas and lounge seating give the room a stylish supper club ambiance that extends to the covered terrace and pool. Group Therapy also includes a library room with lighted book shelves and an ornate marble fireplace giving the room a theatrical flare that is similar to a Saturday Night Live set.

    We love this place. Good food, great service, and wonderful ambiance. The hostess - Kayla L - and our waitress - a different Kayla - both took very good care of us. We will certainly be back.

    Our server just stopped serving us. Nothing happened, she just stopped coming to our table. The food was really nice though! One nit thing is they served us lattes in togo cups. Would have preferred a coffee cups.

    We made this reservation weeks in advance and the hostess blew us off and said she couldn’t find it. She refused to sit us outside where i had made the reservation for and avoided us when we asked if we could be sat on the patio. very disappointed with that but the quality of the food and drink almost made up for it.

    Excellent service, I wish I could remember our waitress’ name because she was so personable and made excellent recommendations. We loved the dark chocolate espresso martinis. I got the pork belly tacos and thought they were fantastic. A favorite spot to bring guests from out of town or meet up for a girls’ night out cocktail.

    Great spot for brunch. I love this hotel and getting to see it by dining here is a win win. The aesthetics and decor at this hotel are amazing. I really enjoyed my omlette and my friend enjoyed her avo toast with an egg on it

    We were seated and not tended to for 20 minutes. Servers just walked on and off passed us. A lot of potential here, they royally fell short.

    I wanted a special place to celebrate our anniversary! The ambiance, decor, and view were great! The water was not good. The artichokes were the best I have ever had. The creme brule was also delightful. The staff was very accommodating and the view is beautiful!

    Wonderful location. It is special dining in central city at elevation with pool and skyline view. Unfortunatly the menu looked wonderful, though the food was ok. With a well versed menu, we were hoping for more upon delivery. Portions were good though overall quality or tase could have been better for the pricepoint.

    Nice space overlooking the city. Great food, super flavorful. Pricey drinks (galss of wine typically $20+). Service was curt and not often present. Loud and hard to have a conversation!

    Unique chic setting. Loud! Food good but not great. Service sub par. Specialty cocktails all $20+. Try it once for dinner to check out Hotel Zaza I guess. Daytime by the pool there is probably an overall better experience I would imagine.

    Neat spot with great food. Two critiques: The shrimp cocktail was a bit on the pricey side for the portion size, IMO, but still very tasty. The other "issue" was there was a bit of confusion on what my wife ordered--they initially brought out the salmon plate instead of the salmon salad. Really not a big deal, and they ended up comping us that portion of the meal, so it worked out really well.

    We are here staying at the hotel and figured a dinner at the restaurant here would be easy to do our first night. We had reservations for 745 and did not receive our food/appetizers until around 10. The service was awful and drinks took forever to get. Our waiter was nice so not sure if they were short staffed that night or what but it was awful. No one ever apologized and the manager had nothing to say about our awful night. Tried to give them another chance and go the next morning for breakfast and sat there for 20 minutes without anyone coming by to even offer water. They were not busy with numerous open tables. Would not recommend this place.
