   Amazing experience! The food was worth every penny. Only thing that could be better was the cocktails - I switched to wine because the cocktail I ordered was weak and for $15 it could have been made better. The decor was amazing, and our service was so friendly.

   We had dinner before theater. Very attentive wait staff. We enjoyed everything we ordered. The larger parties around us were sharing many more dishes that looked fabulous. We will definitely return to enjoy the food again. .

   The food was underwhelming. We ordered the duck and then items to satisfy a vegetarian. The layers of flavor were noticeable. The entrees were over thought and expensive. Party of two $280

   Sunday 6/26 lunch menu selection was quite limited. The chickpea burger was a bit dry. The dips and drinks were great. Service was decent. The ambience is very nice.

   We really enjoyed the food and ambiance. Ordered a ton, loved the dips, the meat appetizer, the fried chicken. And the cheesecake dessert was excellent and the lemon dessert too. Overall it’s pricey but fun and upbeat and we’d go back.

   The experience feels a little rushed since you are encouraged to order everything at once. Drinks are also pushed pretty hard- Other than that Always a great experience.

   Foods great. Service needs major work. Drinks always take too long… even an iced tea. Servers dropped things more than once around our table, including at our table.

   Love Middle Eastern food and had read good things about this place. Arrived at 10:20 for our reservation they did not have a table. We decided to wait at the bar and it got a bit confusing. But we sorted that out and got our nice table. Service was uneven but they seem to be operating at full tilt. So I will give them some slack on that they were nice and because of the confusion we did get our drinks comped. But then of course they put them on the bill and we had to have the waitress go talk to the manager. Blah blah blah which was a bit weird but anyway. The five dips at the beginning were delicious the other two dishes we ordered to me were only okay one was this lamb sausage made in a pastry shell. Which my friend wanted. I did not love it. And the other item we ordered was grilled branzino which was only okay. So I would give it a mixed review if you like lamb. They had lots of lamb dishes on the menu including a huge shawarma that was for five six people. Overall lots of energy at the restaurant and decent food.

   Zou Zou'sResponded 2 days agoHi Richard, thank you for your candid review. I am pleased that my guest relations team was able to correct whatever table confusion there was. Our dips are an excellent start to any Zou Zou's experience. I am sorry you did not love the duck borek as it is one of our fan favorites. We hope to have you back to try some of our other menu options (I love the steak kebab and the lobster tagine!) and give us another try!

    We loved the food but when we wanted dessert the waiter told us we only had 20 minutes left so it probably wasn’t enough time. It was a birthday dinner, dessert is kinda the point. So we left.

    Get the dips! All 5. A delicious way to start the meal, each one creative, and flavorful. Nothing repetitive at all. I wish I had gotten a 2nd kind of bread too - do it!! Had the duck after - tender, flakey. A lovely outdoor space, not on the road. I will absolutely be back

    Zou Zou'sResponded 2 days agoThanks for the rave review! We are super proud of our Chef team for the innovative and tasty menu they execute night after night.

    Honestly, I have been a few times including the soft opening which was outstanding. I took a friend who was visiting from overseas and it was so so average from start to finish. Other than the sommelier. I basically will not come back! Such a shame.

    5 dips were outstanding, as was the cucumber honeydew salad. Three other items were good not great, possibly because we were already full (a challenge due to them making you order all at once, annoying). We were told this was for scheduling of food to be delivered, yet then main dishes came when we were still only 1/2 way through appetizers (annoying). If we went again we would push back so we were not so rushed. Servers and support staff were wonderful and space is beautiful.

    Zou Zou'sResponded on June 17, 2022Thank you for your candor! We prefer our servers to take complete orders to appropriately course our guests' meals for the ideal Zou Zou's experience.

    The Shaved Vegetable Fattoush salad was very disappointing. I have no idea what shaved vegetables were included, and it would not have mattered as the salad was over dressed. The Filet Mignon Kababs were very salty. Thank goodness for the dips. This was my second visit. The Kitchen was EXTREMELY SLOW that last time and was slightly better this time. They screwed up with one of my fellow diners. as his Fluke appetizer followed his main dish.

    I came to try a cocktail. I had one called a field trip which is supposedly one of the best sellers but I just tasted salt and pepper and didn't like the mezcal personally. Then I tried a salad which was awesome, tried the rice and the $75 chicken and kept it even though I wanted my money back. The rice was dry and had a bunch of earthy spices that amplified the dryness in my mouth. The chicken tasted really sweet cause of the breading and the flavor didn't stand out to me as anything but "sweet chicken". I would visit again to try more drinks only cause i'm often in the neighborhood and the bartender Juan gave me great service and had nice comforting presence which is important to me when I dine out, especially solo.

    Service was very nice and attentive. We were given complimentary glasses of champagne for our anniversary and despite ordering the 3 selection of mezes were given all 5 with compliments of the chef. A very nice touch. Bread and dips were delicious as was the fattoush salad and the grilled branzino, although the escarole it was served with had some grit. Grilled artichokes were tasty but not the highlight. Nice to offer large glasses of wine as an option by the glass. The Etna white I had was perfect. Went early (515) so felt very relaxed and calm. As the evening progressed the music got louder, however I will see it nice chill music do wasn't overwhelming.

    The service overall was quite slow and our party did not feel very attended to. The beginning of the meal (dips,scallops,fluke) was AMAZING! The second and third course was a little underwhelming and some of the food was quite salty. I know it’s a new restaurant so I will definitely be giving them another shot!

    The food was very good and fresh, nice menu choices. Service was decent, could have been better if they listened to specific directions…nut allergy and vegetable came out with nuts all over it, then they re-did it and brought out with nuts on the side of the plate where NO nuts should have even been brought out :( The drinks were ok, not strong at all and 3 drinks later not a single buzz feeing…straight pours were small.

    In short, the food quality and uniqueness was amazing and excellent. However, the service had an attitude. Our first experience was at the bar while we waited for the other couple we were dining with to arrive. We ordered drinks and she made them, then held them in her hands and wouldn’t put them down in front of us without a credit card on file so she asked us for it first. Okay… fine… but we’re dressed nicely, a cute couple and are about to sit and eat dinner. We also put down an Amex platinum. We’re not going to grab the drink and run? So strange that she treated us like that. Anyway, we get seated and the hostess doesn’t say a word other than, “we need the table exactly 8pm” and walks away. The four of us looked at each other as if we had done something wrong. Our rez was for 6pm and we sat down at 6:10pm. We could definitely be done by 8pm and understand the need to get us out but she was rude in the way she said it and not welcoming at all. Then! The waitress. Ugh she was cringing behind her smile it was so obvious she didn’t want to be there. Anyway, we ordered the 5 dips at 6:15 or so and then at 6:55pm they were still not at the table. I understand kitchens can be backed up but to give us a strict time limit and then not even bring our appetizers over for 40 minutes wasn’t right so I asked the waitress if she knew how much longer and she fake smiled at me and said “are you hungry?” Again, we all looked at each other because it was super rude! Then lastly… we ordered the 5 dips, not 3. They give us a round serving of pita bread and the four of us go through it pretty quickly and have over half our dips left. I asked for more bread and she said it’s an extra order and we have to pay for it. I’m sorry but why do the 3-dips come with the same amount of bread as the 5-dips? Just stupid. Will not return to the restaurant because of the service but may do take out of the dips and dumplings, they were great.

    Cute place! Ordered the hummus plate, oysters, and the duck. Oysters a bit small but taste good, one of the hummus is too salty for us but great overall, the duck dish would be sour for some people but I love it.
