    A warm and inviting space, humming with conversation, almost full at 7:00 pm. Service was brisk, prompt and friendly: no delays, good guidance. Salads and apps tasty and peppy. Mains hot with good flavours. Drinks good variety; house wine sold by the ounce: nice - more places should follow this example. Will go again.

    Overall the service was great, the food was good. However, one of the meals had cold eggs. The lettuce on the salad had been cut with a metal serrated knife which then causes the lettuce to change colour and make it bitter.

    We booked for an early seating because of a nearby theatre event. Lucky us, it was Happy Hour! We shared the delicious arancini and had a nice Pilsner. We ate inside but many others enjoyed the patio. The service was excellent.

    Zuzu is a new, spacious restaurant with a nicely decorated interior. The food however, was dissapointing. The portions are small, my Cesar salad with brussel sprouts had everything in it except the greens, the fried sea bream was too greasy, and the choice of desserts is limited. The apperitivos were probably the best that night but we came for dinner, not just drinks!

    Mediocre brunch spot with prices that don't match the quality.
