   Food was okay. Not too pricey, but not a lot of selection. View and decor was pretty.

   Great spot for a unique rooftop experience in Austin! Zanzibar offers a lush, tropical escape with fantastic downtown views. Their craft cocktails are a highlight and the ambiance is vibrant and fun. The small plates menu is good for sharing. Can get busy, so reservations are recommended. A bit pricey, but you're definitely paying for the awesome setting and vibe. Worth a visit for drinks with a view!

   Our experience was nice I really enjoyed being able to bring friends and have a little area to our selves. The service was good, well our waitress was amazing. However a man in all black approached us because they was closing the pool. He informed us that we needed to move, this was the biggest problem because then we got sat in the bar, which i didnt want to have to be in the bar, and he didnt offer to help us or anything so we had to leave behind some of our stuff. It just brought down the night and we left after one last shot. I want to come again but Im afraid to now because I made reservation but still ended up in the BAR! where everyone was at. no privacy.

   Absolutely love Zanzibar! As a regular, I can confidently say this place never disappoints. The atmosphere is always welcoming, and the food is consistently delicious. What truly sets Zanzibar apart, though, is the incredible staff—they are always friendly, attentive, and make every visit feel special. I want to give a special shout-out to the manager, whose dedication and hard work are evident in every detail. Their leadership really shines through in the seamless service and positive energy throughout the restaurant. Highly recommend Zanzibar to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience!

   Everything was amazing but the Mai Tai was the worst one I’ve ever had.

   Serves was not as great as previous times. We didn’t see anyone for about 45min and then were told we had a new server. She was cordial but seemed not as attentive.

    The true value in this place is by far the atmosphere and ambiance. Great spot for a drink and nice views of downtown Austin. The menu had small plates and a few entrees which was good but not amazing. Drinks are also really good just a bit pricey. All in all if looking for a nice date night for you and your partner this place is a good pick
