   I chose this restaurant because their holiday menu included lobster bisque, my husband's favorite. The soup had not even one morsel of lobster. The ambience was pretty much hotel coffee shop. Don't waste your time.

   I have a big birthday party for my husband that weekend and the event was fabulous we had the best wait staff and service all night. So, I was extremely disappointed that the service staff in the restaurant was nothing like the 5th floor staff. We waited an extraordinary amount of time after sitting down to garner our waiter's attention. He never came back to check on us so that we could order our meals. I tried to flag down other staff who did not appear to be doing anything but I was ignored. The only positive thing about the restaurant was the actual quality of the food.

    Service and staff always great. Only problem with this restaurant is if there’s a group celebrating by the bar - usually group office drinks it seems - you can’t hear anything while sitting in the restaurant and lose your voice from yelling to each other. The only thing that will make me hesitant to return. And I thought we were safe going on a Tuesday! All 6 people in our party thought the same.

    Amazing. I love the relaxed feel of this place. I definitely would return to try more dishes. The open faced steak sandwhich and breaded chicken with mashed potatoes was excellent. The table was in front of pool which was what we love . Service was well-timed and friendly, drinks were affordable and STRONG.

    I took my staff for our Holiday Dinner and was disappointed. Our table was very poorly lit, our booth seats were very low next to the table and uncomfortable. Except for the Brussels sprouts, the food was very average.

    We at the hotel for family overnight celebrating our anniversary. It happened to be the night of the Halloween party. We did not know about that when we booked our room. Staff was readying the restaurant for the party while we were dining. It was also Astros playoffs and that was the only public tv to watch the game. We ended up going back up to our room after the game to watch the movie. Food was Ok. Staff was nice and attentive. Music was LOUD.

    We dined here last year during our stay at ZaZa and ordered off of the Valentines Day specialty dinner menu. I would rate our initial visit 5 stars across the board; food, service, and ambiance were all top-notch and well-worth the price point. This most recent visit, though enjoyable, did not hold a candle to our first experience. We ordered off of the regular dinner menu this time. We had spinach/artichoke dip and lamb lollipops for appetizers, followed by the filet and scallops for entree. The menu seems unimaginative and the quality of the food, though fair, was not quite worth the price tag. The scallops entree, though beautiful, was not very substantial - 4 seared jumbo scallops with a handful of carrots, snap peas, and mushrooms (chanterelle, I think?). Was surprised that the dish did not include a starch. Ordered a side of the volcano salt fries. They were basic shoestring fries served with ketchup and a thin ranch dip. Server was very kind and attentive and the food arrived promptly. The busser seemed overeager to clear our plates. I would say compared to our last visit, the service felt a tad less refined and more like a casual dining experience. In their defense, we did visit on a slow Monday night, so perhaps that was a contributing factor to some of these gripes.

    I ordered a steak and the waiter didn't even ask which oz steak I wanted. I waited till he brought it and it was the 4 oz., the small one. We had to ask the drinks to be refilled. My friend's steak was medium rare when she specifically asked for it to be done well done.

    I love going to a restaurant where they have a special menu and the entree is not listed on the main menu. They had a special four course dinner for New Year's Eve that had Chilean Sea Bass. I only wanted the Sea Bass and they honored my request. Thank you Chef!

    The restaurant was empty, there was no atmosphere and from the moment we sat down our waitress was trying to hurry us up. We hadn't finished our entree before she brought us our bill. She didn't ask if we wanted dessert or coffee and when we asked for coffee and a refill of my soda, which had not been offered even though my glass was empty, she looked quite annoyed. I think she saw that we were not pleased at her harassing us because she explained that her shift was due to finish and she had to close us out. Surely if her shift is over let someone else finish serving us. Food was okay but honestly our treatment by this waitress completely overshadowed it. We felt rushed and frankly, unwelcome. This was not the leisurely friendly lunch we were expecting. We all agreed that we had made a bad choice and will not be eating there again.

    It is definitely a gem in the rough. The area has limited "breakfast" options that allow you to entertain clients in a formal environment. It was definitely a nice find near the energy corridor. Though service could use some improvement. We received "mixed" attitudes while dining there for breakfast. Some were very nice, and others were very rude. That's the biggest reason for the 4 stars overall. The food is OKAY, but i wouldn't say it's wonderful. With all the new breakfast type options, i'm surprised they didn't offer items like "avocado on toast with a fried egg" or other items you might see in a bigger city...like fried chicken on waffles. overall, i would go again.

    Went expecting a cool, hip, trendy boutique hotel restaurant experience, with craft cocktails, etc. what I experienced was entirely different. It wasn’t “bad”, it just wasn’t special. It was a very basic, everyday experience, with mediocre service. Wouldn’t go back.

    Expected a higher quality in Hotel Zaza at this price point. Seared tuna in a salad was tough & not as fresh as it should have been. My first time here but my guest has been often & said service and food has typically not been great. Too bad as it is a pretty place.

    My wife and I wanted to try some place new for our 37th anniversary. Being foodies and focused on clean food, we were really pleased with the entrees. Grass-fed meats, fresh veggies with a light hand on the sauces. You have the opportunity to taste the food instead of sorting it out from the sauce. Service was pleasant, cheerful without being invasive. A really pleasant evening in a nice setting with excellent service. Bon Appetit!!
