    I had the absolute pleasure of being served by Joline during my visit, and I have to say, she is hands down the best server I’ve ever encountered! From the moment we sat down, she greeted us with a warm smile and an upbeat attitude that set the tone for an amazing experience. Joline was attentive without being overbearing, ensuring our drinks were always full and checking in at just the right moments. Her knowledge of the menu was impressive—she recommended a dish I wouldn’t have chosen on my own, and it turned out to be my new favorite! What stood out most was her genuine care for her customers. She made us feel like VIPs, going above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. It’s rare to find someone who truly loves what they do, but with Joline, it shows. If you’re lucky enough to have Joline as your server, you’re in for a treat. I’ll definitely be coming back, and a big part of that is because of her outstanding service.

    Our meal was outstanding. We had the Parmesan crusted white fish with potatoes & roasted vegetables which I believe was the best meal ever. We ate dinner in the Speakeasy before the show and would go back again for dinnet even if we weren't attending a show.

    I wish I was allowed to give La ZaZa Trattoria 10 stars because this place is fantastic! Everything cooked perfectly, great service and reasonable prices for what you get. The Wagyu Steak special was one of the best steaks I’ve ever eaten, (cooked perfectly to order) and I’ve dined at some of the finest steakhouses in the country. If I lived in the area, I’d be here every night!! Awesome restaurant!
