    We had an exceptional dining experience at Zoubi!!! The secret garden provided a truly enchanting atmosphere. Our server, Amir, delivered outstanding service, and the host made us feel particularly valued. The entire staff was incredibly welcoming, and the cuisine was exceptional, we ordered the tuna poke with avocado & creamy togarashi in a spicy vinaigrette, prime NY strip steak entree with housecut fries, the grilled octopus appetizer which was plated beautifully and was cooked to perfection with a nice char and tender center. The surf & turf was a very generous portion of short ribs and sea scallops noodles with wild mushrooms in a truffle cream sauce. We also had the sesame and panko crusted tuna entee with wasabi "air" foam. We appreciate the wonderful experience, outside table surrounded by blooming seasonal flowers and plants. For dessert had chocolate creme brulle, and strawberry sorbet. Everything was plated beautifully and tasted amazing. We can not wait to return to this outstanding picturesque restaurant on the canal in New Hope.
