    Maybe we chose a bad to dine at Zama. There appeared to be a conference going on and the restaurant was preparing for a large group. Our service was slow and unwelcoming.

    The food is sooooo average and for the price you’d think it would be better! The service was subpar at best, save time and money and go somewhere else!
