Zuma had only been open a few weeks when we visited on a Friday night. The atmosphere was really cool, and it made dinner feel like a more formal affair than most sushi places. The salads weren't great, but the sushi rolls were wonderful. The spicy tuna was exceptionally good. The only real problem was service. There was no host, and the two waitresses struggled to serve the 6-8 tables that were occupied. We had to flag down our server to ask for the bill, to get water, to order drinks, and to inquire as to why we waited an hour for our food when the table next to us arrived later and had already finished and paid. All of this can be worked out over time, and I hope this place makes it. The sushi and saketinis are worth it.
Pros: atmosphere, neighborhood, food
Cons: , service, service
