I try not to judge the food by the attitude of the waiter. But, it was a little hard when I asked which of two dishes were better and he said they were “two of the simpler dishes on their menu.” I’ve eaten in a lot of “foodie” places around the world and haven’t encountered this kind of snobbery. The chopped salad was ok but the Dijon sherry “vinaigrette” I ordered was thick/gloppy and all you could taste was mustard - definitely not a vinaigrette. So I tried the white balsamic instead and it was ok but nothing special. I ended up ordering one of their “specialty” pastas with lobster and shrimp. It was soupy and swimming in oil. The small shrimp and lobster pieces were ok and the soupy sauce taste ok but I couldn’t eat much because of the oil. Ended up picking out the seafood pieces as best I could and trying to let the oily sauce drip off. The only good thing to say was the wine was a generous pour. Overall, can’t recommend a just ok place.

The restaurant is very loud. The service wasn’t great, the food was terrible. Two things on the menu weren’t available. One was the antipasto salad! We ordered veal parm and chicken parm. Both were burned around the edges. Both came with penne pasta. Very little sauce and barely lukewarm with pockets of stone cold! The shakers of Parmesan cheese were too nasty to even touch. The white wine was served in a red wine glass. You’d think for a restaurant that’s supposed to have class, they would know the difference. Overall, we won’t go back! Very disappointing.

Very loud cramped restaurant. Service was speedy and good bar menu. Breadsticks app was very good. Parmesan cheese sauce and marinarawere both good. But pizza sauce was disappointing. My wife ordered chicken parm and was served manicotti. Server tried to argue the cheese was chicken. Lol. Still looking for the best restaurant in downtown Montgomery.

The food, at SaZa's was good, as always. The only detraction from a perfect review is that the server asked my dining companion for his beverage request, but neglected to ask me. The water was tasty.

Okay, though I make better at home. Boyfriend said the pizza wasn't bad. Not many glutenfree or Vegetarian options so I got the wild mushroom polenta and it had a thick gravy which would have been better as a sauce.

The Chopped Lobster, Shrimp, Spinach over Angel Hair was very good ! I highly recommend that. Our server was very busy, but checked on our table frequently. The menu prices are fair. And I rather pay the prices for awesome food at Sazas over The Olive Garden's. Sazas has a better selection.

My previous visits have been terrific, so hopefully this experience was a fluke. My party of 4 was seated. Then we waited 15 minutes without being acknowledged. When I flagged down a server to ask who would take our order, she immediately said she’d take our table. Unfortunately we waited an additional 15 minutes to get our drinks and order our food. The order for the 4yo in my party was prepared incorrectly so she was actually the last of our party to be served after sitting for an hour. We were told that they had 2 large parties that threw everything off from service to food prep. However I’ve eaten here twice before on Saturday nights and service was great.

Excellent, we had the smashed meatball pizza and the Chicken Scarpariello with Chopped House Salad. The pizza came with a few Itallian sausages on the side. They were perfect with just the right amount of fennel . The meatball pizza was perfect with a crispy crust and Grandma’s smashed meatballs on top of a light coating of cheese and marinara sauce. The Chicken Scarpariello was a bone in. Perfectly seasoned roasted Chicken breast with roasted peppers, onions, and roasted seasoned potato slices. Devine!

I probably will not be making our way back to this restaurant for a while. We spend about $300 every other month at this establishment and tonight I would have hated to spend $1. It seemed to be going well at first until we ordered our beer. We were kind of skeptical about the options due to not really knowing much about them so we ordered what we had at Central the night before. Unfortunately this beer was NOT the same flavor and was very overpowering with orange. I drink all kinds of beer nation wide and this was just terrible. After explaining that we definitely ordered it but it wasn't in our palate to enjoy, we were told we could get something else, but would have to purchase both due to policy. Unfortunately, since we weren't offered a tasting and instead of just trying to get through that beer, we ordered another pitcher that was much better but not before we were given what seemed to be disgruntle looks from the head bartender. Food was amazing as always and I'm glad we could finish our $90 meal off with a decent beer. I just wish that they would inform you about 20% gratuity on a table of 6 or more and that if you have a baby they consider that 1 person. It wasn't present on the menu from where I could tell. If anyone decides to visit, please make sure to ask for tastings and don't sit with a waiter named Blue. I was able to catch up from an old friend (cook) at Saza’s named Duke. We worked together at Wings when it was opened in Montgomery. Nicest dude ever and helped turn our night around.

Asked for a non menu item special (salmon bruschetta) they did it no problem. Food was fantastic. Party of 13 and waiter split checks no problem without hesitation. Manicotti was great I just wouldn’t add the protein next time—didn’t need it bc the portion was great. Beers were great. Wine service was great. Overall it was great! All 13 of us loved our meals. I would recommend. Only reason for a four on the food out of five was bc I didn’t need the protein and waiter kinda talked me into it.

Very good food. We were two couples just having a nice dinner together. Our waitress was very good. My only complaint was the hostess tried to seat us at a table for 4 by the hostess station which is right by the door to come into the restaurant. We asked for a different table....and they accommodated us. We did have reservations and from what I understand, that table was assigned to us when we made our reservation. Thank goodness we could get a different table. The proximity of tables in this restaurant are very, very close to each other.

I love the pizza at SaZa. 99% of the time it is a fantastic experience. The last visit it appeared they did not have enough staff for a Mother’s Day weekend. That is not normal for them. I highly recommend SaZa and will be back. An extra plus, John, who now works at the bar, knows I love lasagna. When they make lasagna (not a regular menu item) he will call my husband or I. Great place!

We were there on Mother’s Day, and the staff was beyond swamped. 45 minute wait for salad, which arrived warm, another half-hour for entrees, beer that was billed as draft but wasn’t... many service issues. On the plus side: food was very tasty, manager apologized and gave us complimentary desserts.

would not have given this place any rating at all if it is not a compulsory field. the eggplant was super dry and tasteless, with pasta tasting like soap water in, the worst prepared pasta ever. the pizza, yucky. for those that rated this place as excellent, which planet you all from? avoid even if you are starving! The server was excellent and should look for more fertile ground for her talent.
