    Cod fish sandwich and garlic fries

    As this was my very first sit down at this eatery I was highly disappointed at the food. The biggest highlight was my side salad and my frozen caramel apple cider drink. My cod fish sandwich was simply a frozen patty from out of a plastic bag and not real fish and the replacement chicken sandwich was fried in the same oil as the fish so I was getting a fishy taste along with it. I politely took my chicken sandwich to go after having my husband take two bites of the sandwich. The garlic fries were not as anticipated either. They came out piping hot with just the perfect amount of salt. However,the whole lot of fries were covered in raw minced garlic and sprinkled with parsley. The raw garlic made the fries inedible for me.

    Such a great first time experience. Greeted as soon as we came in the door and told where to find menus and order. We got the chili dog lunch with Cajun fries, came with 2 hotdogs which we was a nice surprise. Also ordered a Chicago dog meal with garlic fries. So good. Kids cheeseburger meal was good and the kids chicken meal was nice pieces of chicken, not pressed chicken. And the pineapple Agua Fresca was superb!!!

    Excellent. I'm only taking a star away because I just don't care for the chicken noodle soup. I have ordered to go and for delivery. How bout no delivery fee, no extra service charge fees?. I'm sure it won't last but it is refreshing in the days of doordash and grubhub fees Staff is friendly and provide good service. I usually get the breakfast sandwich with apple wood bacon(Real bacon!!) With a hash brown and some kind of donut. All fresh and so much better than fast food. The lunch offerings are primarily sandwiches and soups. Burgers, chicken salad etc. At least 5 different soups daily. All yummy except the chicken noodle just doesn't do it for me. Not enough noodles for me. They actually specialize in chicago style dogs. Not my thing but my man says they are really good. Somehow my food delivery arrives hot and fresh even though I live across town. Keep up the good work

After looking at different caterers, we chose Pizza Replicator to cater the party of 85. We were having trouble working with the venue to allow the caterer to find a place to cook the pizzas. Max contacted the venue and worked out all the details. On the day of the event, he and his staff arrived promptly and started with the appetizers which were outstanding. Once he transitioned to pizza, the pizzas were continuously replaced until everyone had eaten. Everyone raved about the food.

In New York, slices are for folding and eating while on the go, because... well... I guess that's what capitalism does to you. Pizza Replicator is replicating none of these pizzas. Nope. It's just a Star Trek TNG inspired pizza concept where Max Sussman gets to have a little bit of fun with seasonal ingredients, dough, and some portable pizza ovens. Personally, I love to support pizza innovation. Max's pizza is about as good as it can be considering it's cooked up in the back of a coffee shop on any given Sunday. More than anything, I want Max to get a permanent home here in A2 with a legit Neapolitan oven where he can really get some better color on the bottoms of those pies. I've had a few of these so far. Italian sausage with pepperoncini, provolone, and broccoli rabe. Brussels and guanciale with aged gouda, fresh mozzarella, and garlic. Soujouk and Za'atar with onion and green zhug. Asparagus and gruyere with meyer lemon, caramelized onion, and pine nuts. Spanish Chorizo, manchego, roasted peppers. My favorite one to date was the meyer lemon. Dang, that was deliciously unexpected! But those crispy nuggets of guanciale were dynamite too! Ultimately, these are designed to be take out pies, and I'm just not a take out pizza kinda guy. Because I believe pizza is best when it's fresh hot now, I grab my pie, b-line to my parked car, and eat the pizza in the driver's seat like a savage beast. Even when I have shown up early for my scheduled pizza pick up, I have had little luck in getting super hot pies with crisp edges and well colored bottoms. Recently I learned that one can request the pizza "well done" and I am looking forward to giving that a try. But I love the culinary creativity and I am happy to keep trying Max's new pies when my Sunday schedule lines up with available pizza slots. One has to keep an eye on the Pizza Replicator Instagram page and move quickly, because these things sell out. I have gotten over my FOMO, and am happy to simply sample these pizzas when the stars align. Which, you know, is why I'm comfortable to share this with the Yelp Community. Max's efforts are hardly a secret as they were just recently covered in the food press. But yet there is no listing on Yelp?

We arrived 45 minutes before closing, and the host asked if we'd like to sit in the bar where they offer the full menu. Saying yes was fine until the last 15 minutes. A better choice would have been to sit in the dining room. We started off with drinks, V ordered a Mai Tai, and I had a Tequila something or other. The drinks tasted good, if I were a betting person, I'd say that they touched the ice with alcohol, and that's about it. I don't drink very often, so I always know if a drink contains a meaningful amount of alcohol. They brought out a warmed puff bread. It was unique for sure, and tasted good too. Our appatiser was Lobster Tail served on a bed of vinegar-based coleslaw with miso or something similar. The flavors worked together fabulously. V's entree was a beef stir fry. He said it was ok, but nothing special. He also ordered the Smoked Gouda & Rosemary Mac & Cheese with bacon. That side dish was very tasty, but overpowered my entree, though it paired well with his beef. I had the Miso Halibut, which came over with Sweet Chili Bok Choy and Jasmine Rice. This entree had perfectly paired flavors; I'd certainly like to have it again. Our waitress was friendly and attentive; we couldn't ask for better service. Sitting in the bar wasn't a good idea as in the last 15 minutes a loud-mouthed womanizing man started sharing his conquests with six other people.

They eventually connected with me later that day, and I sent inspiration photos to help with planning.

I informed her that I had not received the proposal in my spam or portal, and she promised to resend it the next day. However, by January 17, I still had not received anything. I followed up again on March 1, 2026, hoping for some progress. Despite the ongoing communication issues, I was drawn to their work because of the beautiful photos and event space they showcased on Instagram. I really wanted to use their services. On March 2, I finally received a response from Stephen, who explained Katie was attending a conference but assured me I would get the proposal within a few days, no later than the end of that week. Now, 20 days later, I have received no proposal and no further follow-up. I am left with no choice but to look elsewhere. If I could give zero stars, I would.

The experience opened with the ube tacos, which I can only describe as a delightful and unexpected introduction. They set the tone beautifully: playful, vibrant, and full of personality. The kind of dish that makes you pause mid-bite and think, okay... we might be in for something special here. Then came the jalapeño hamachi, which -- and I say this with a heavy heart -- didn't quite rise to the occasion. It wasn't bad, but it felt... quiet. Like a conversation that had potential but never quite found its voice. I was expecting a spark, a kick, a memorable moment, but instead, it passed by politely without leaving much of an impression. It was okay, and I enjoyed tasting this roll. But just when I began to wonder where the night would ultimately land, the Ora King salmon arrived, and with it, redemption. This dish was, quite simply, fantastic. A clean, refreshing punch of flavor that felt perfectly suited for a warm spring day. The salmon didn't just sit on the plate - it shined. Light yet satisfying, delicate yet confident. It was the kind of dish that reminds you why you go out to eat in the first place. Overall, Zuzu delivered an experience that felt intentional, creative, and worth exploring. A perfect place to celebrate an anniversary with my Love. Not every note hit perfectly, but when it did, it sang. And to close the night on the highest of notes, a special shoutout to our waitress, Que B, whose service was nothing short of exceptional. Attentive, caring, and effortlessly warm; the kind of presence that turns a great meal into a memorable experience. Would I return? Absolutely. Because any place that can serve a moment like that salmon and pair it with service like that is a place worth revisiting.

She was very gracious and patient in tending to our table and answering our questions. Very lovely and down-to-earth! While Chef Marcel is known for visiting with customers, he was too busy iIn the kitchen when we were there. We started with the stuffed large portobello mushroom as an appetizer. It included beets and was delicious. No picture because we were hungry, but check out photos of the rest of our dinners! I should note that my two friends enjoyed the complimentary bread and raved about it. I held out for the appetizer, but the bread looked delicious. Two of us went with the weekly special of mahi mahi, which included a salad of mixed greens. The mahi mahi was served on tortilla shells with rice, black beans and cilantro. It was a unique combination that was delicious. Our other friend opted for the chicken marsala with button mushrooms over rigatoni.. She also ordered the brussel sprouts as a side and loved them.

I think I tasted more of the flavors blending together especially with the apples and onions. I tried the wedge salad, so delicious especially with the candied pecans. My husband had the salmon bisque soup and the grouper for dinner. I had a bite of the broccoli and the polenta with a taste of the grouper and it was really good with a slight kick! The grouper was meaty and mild. Of course we had to have dessert even after a bottle of prosecco! We tried the pineapple carrot cake and the chocolate Panna cotta for the second time. I highly recommend both, the pineapple is a perfect ingredient! I'm excited to see what the spring menu will bring and to return to try the Korean bbq steak and have more of the Dutch Bitterballen! They only offer wine and beer, which works for me!
