    The food, staff, and ambiance was better than expected, with a beautiful presentation of delicious courses. Highly recommended. Unique flavors and a serene atmosphere. Good, not only for special occasions and a romantic dinner, but with a loved one and family as well.

    Truly excellent food. Classy, cool atmosphere but not stuffy. Very friendly and professional staff. Best meal I’ve had in a long time. I had a sea bass filet with clams, and crème brulée for desert. So glad we went.

    Upon arrival, we received a warm welcome and the maitreD allowed us to select a great table. It went downhill from there. Several minutes later, the waiter came by and left menus. After reading through them and realizing they did not include drinks or wines, we asked for a wine list. After selecting carefully a bottle we thought would compliment our dinner, we ordered it as well as appetizers and main courses. Several minutes later, the waiter returned to advise the wine was no longer available. We then selected a different bottle and asked for it to be served with dinner. In the meantime, we ordered cocktails which arrived 10 minutes later. No sooner than these cocktails were placed in front of us than the hot appetizers arrived. No time to enjoy the cocktaills before dinner. Then the waiter advised that that our second selected bottle of wine was also not available. So, we opted for wine by the glass. Although the appetizers were superb, the otherwise complex sauces for the Duck Confit and Beef Tenderloin were overwhelmed by excessive salt. The chocolate w Bally’s dessert was delightful in that it had minimal sugar, but alas, it was not enough to overcome an average dining experience. As we were settling the check, we asked the waiter for change for a $10 bill needed for our taxi. He returned five minutes later to say the restaurant only had change for a $20. Seemed quite unusual. We paid our bill with a CC and ordered a drink at the bar and paid with a $20 bill. The $8 change was presented in a approximately 25 small denomination coins. This restaurant was described as a 5 star dining deserving of a Michelin star. but, sadly, our experience was mediocre at best.

    Dear Morgan Thank you for sharing your dining experience with us. We appreciate your positive comments about the warm welcome, great table selection, superb appetizers, and delightful chocolate dessert. We apologize for the inconvenience with the wine selection and cocktail service. We value your feedback and will use it to improve our service.

    Visité Zazu el día martes 23 del mes actual en compañía de mi pareja, degustamos tartar, pangora y taquitos de lechón, cada una de estas entradas fueron excepcionales. Como plato fuerte ordenamos pato confitado y sirloin black Angus. Con respecto al pato confitado estuvo espectacular, muy bien balanceado todos sus sabores, con respecto al sirloin podría decir que es uno de los mejores cortes que he probado y para finalizar nuestra cena ordenamos una panacota de Baileys y chocolate, fascinante para los que amamos el chocolate. Con relación al servicio, Anthony y el resto del personal se encargaron de brindarnos una velada excelente. Solo me queda finalizar con un agradecimiento por tan espectacular cena

    Food was really good except for the desserts. We had three different ones - creme brulee, chocolate toffee mousse and a almond souffle (taste was the best of the three, but it did not look like a souffle at all, nor had the texture; it seems that it got overcooked because it did not have any volume, which is the point of a souffle...). None will be remembered as outstanding.

    The menu is not large and when we went they advised that the duck would not be as good as they would want -- I had a steak which was a nice piece of meat. The taster menu's could be a good choice for a gourmet-- but at 95$ its not cheap

    We decided not to have the tasting menu and just chose our own food. The food was great. I think we could have shared a starter but we didn’t! 2 people has short rib and 2 Duck all meals excellent and our server was very good. I was impressed that the wine choice is affordable we had a very good Argentina Malbec which was $35!

    It was wonderful! One of the highlights of our visit to Quito. The food was de.li.cious! I had the Zazu experience, though on the pricey side, it was worth it to try all the different flavors I would otherwise not order. Chef Graham Hage was very accommodating of my seafood allergy, and is very modest. Definitely a MUST dine. Add to your bucket list!

    The food is superb, far exceeded our expectations. The portions are very generous and the presentation is outstanding and the flavor combinations are excellent. Highly recommend this restaurant, it is great value for money, and a beautiful chic contemporary atmosphere. We had the suckling pig taquitos & grilled octopus starters, the duck confit and short rib mains, each one a culinary delight to remember! Our waiter was not so personable, otherwise, the service from the other staff was very attentive, friendly and efficient.
