    It’s so great having a quality restaurant within walking distance of our condo. The food is outstanding and the staff most attentive without being intrusive.

    The Mahi Mahi special was outstanding. Very fresh and well prepared. Danielle was our server, training Linda, a new server. We could not have asked for better service.

    We had a delightful Sunday family dinner. Our server, Joe, was so very nice, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu which made our dinner enjoyable for everyone. My husband and I had the Walleye special entree which was outstanding. Our daughter had the pasta with sausage, She loved that as well. Our grandchildren had their special noodles (buttered noodles), they are 8 and 12, perfect dinner for them. For dessert we had the special pear bread pudding, and creme brûlée Both were delicious and very managable sizes. We will definitely dine here again. Za Za's is a real treasure!

    We have been to Za Za's many times, and once again we were not disappointed. We arrived about 10 minutes before our 7pm reservation and were seated immediately. The server came with water right away and took our drink order. The bread basket and plate of olives followed in a minute or so. We both ordered soup, which came quickly, was hot and delicious. My wife ordered the chicken parmesan and I had broiled calamari. Both dishes arrived in a timely fashion, and like the soups, were hot and delicious. We did not have dessert, the check came to a very reasonable $58 to which I added $12. We were back in our car by 8pm and on the way home. We will return again soon.
