    The menu was fun and eclectic. Very good. Service was great. Way overpriced. I don't expect value from an establishment with such a big reputation that's also sharing space with the most expensive hotel in the city, but c'mon guys. This place is for the A List crowd, celebs, and the one percenters. Two people, a starter, some sushi, a veg dish and one wagyu selection, no alcohol -- $550 without tip.

    One of the best meal experiences in Boston. The service was impeccable (given multiple people were serving and playing different roles, they didn't step on each other's toes). The gin martini was so delicious, as were all the dishes we ordered. We sampled some appetizers, food from the grill and sushi. The food items were beautifully displayed. We were there on a Monday night so the noise level was good. I recall another time it did get quite loud a bit later. The menu font is on the small side so just be sure to bring your reading glasses. I would consider this a "treat" as it is pricey (it was my birthday).

    Unfortunately had to return the wine glass twice because it had traces of the cork. Manager came out to apologize and asked if I wanted the third glass but way too late as we had already finished the meal. No discount was offered or anything for the trouble. Zuma was one of our favorite restaurants so this was quite the disappointment.

    Food was amazing. Hotel is gorgeous but the ambience of Zuma for me didn’t match the quality of the food and other parts of the hotel. Especially for the price.

    Pretty good food - slightly above average if it was priced 30% lower. Service was pretty good. In comparison to similar prices restaurants in other cities it’s a solid 6/10
