Drinks were good, service was extremely slow, food was not my favorite. Club vibe. Woman walking around taking pictures of everyone and charging $20 for the pictures. DJ was good. Cute decor.

The food is not worth the price. We have had grocery store sushi that’s better than ZOOZ. The drinks were cool but that’s about it. I would not eat here again.

We didn’t have food there but the drinks were pretty good. The only thing I would say if we were expecting more of the Christmas theme but overall very good. The espresso martini, especially the seasonal peppermint version, were great.

Service was not good. I had to re-order several times for the other person at my table, almost as if the server ignored her order each time.

We arrived and they said our table was not ready. We waited for 20 minutes. The problem was that there were around 5 empty tables but the hostess did not want to give it to us. The service is extremely slow! Careful with the place, it is a tourist trap and service is very bad

The sushi was good, and the restaurant was beautifully decorated with so many Christmas trees. My only complaint is that there was only one person acting as the hostess and server. He seemed to be able to keep up with all the tables since there were only about 6 parties. It would also be good if the server was more familiar with specific items on the menu.

The decorations were very festive and the happy hour specials were great. I’d recommend this place to anyone.
