The Charboiled oysters are a favorite! They are so so good. The bread was also delicious. The shrimp loaf is a must. The crab dip is so so and the bbq shrimp is pretty good, I’ve had better. The staff was amazing, our waiter was amazing I believe his name was Paul.

Zuma made our Valentine’s Day experience really amazing! Thanks to the amazing staff, servers and chefs. Kelly and Umberto were really amazing in responding to my inquiries.
