    We celebrated a birthday at Zuma. It was our first time at this restaurant. The ambiance was nice while the food was average due to small plates. No recommendations were suggested. We shared meals to try out the different flavors. The dessert was excellent. Additionally, we had a slight incident, a drink fell and almost destroyed my new coat. The care and fast treatment from the restaurant staff was outstanding. They manage to remove the stain from my coat and clean up in a few minutes.

    I wasn't aware there was a time limit for the restaurant at this level. They asked us to leave because of the next reservation had arrived. We stayed about 90 minutes.

    Always excellent service at Zuma! It’s wonderful to see that the Four Seasons hasn’t skipped a beat when it comes to exceptional service—even during the quieter, slower times. The attention to detail, warm hospitality, and consistently high standards are truly appreciated. Sherry

    The sushi/sashimi platter did not live up to Zuma reputation. The O-toro was quite bad after we had pointed out that it was not that 3 days prior. The rest of the omakase platter was great the first time we went. The sushi and sashimi platter we had the second time around was quite awful.
