    Vegetable fried rice

    I had such a great dinner at Zuzu Nashville last night! The chicken katsu, vegetable fried rice, and aperol spritz were all delicious. The service was excellent--quick, thorough, and incredibly attentive. My water glass and other beverage(s) were kept filled throughout the entire meal - 5 star service! After dinner, I explored the upstairs lounge, where the DJ was playing a set that went beyond the typical Broadway music or commercialized bar. Zuzu is the perfect spot for a work dinner, group gathering, date night, girls' night out, or bachelorette celebration--and you can end the evening upstairs with great music!

    The interior of this restaurant is so beautiful, and absolutely loved the proximity to all the things around it like Ascend Amphitheater! We came in for wedding anniversary and they treated us so well. The wait staff was super attentive and welcoming, and they even gave us champagne to start! The food was absolutely delicious, there wasn't a single thing we didn't enjoy! Also, a very good cocktail selection, although they were out of ingredients for a couple we tried to order. Lastly, love that they comp 3hrs of parking for the garage next door!

    Yum to the rescue!! Crudo board!!

    I came in for a corporate dinner and had an excellent experience thanks to Barnaby. From the beginning, he was very friendly, professional, and extremely attentive to detail. He made great recommendations for the table, and everything we ordered was spot on. The honey walnut shrimp was absolutely amazing easily a standout dish for the night. One of my favorite parts of the experience was the table rice prepared right at the table, which Barnaby explained and timed perfectly. He also recommended a red wine that paired beautifully with our meal. It was such a great choice that we ended up ordering a couple of bottles for the table. Overall, Barnaby made the entire corporate dinner feel smooth, elevated, and enjoyable. Fantastic service and a great dining experience all around. Will def be back!!

    I have seen Zuzu all over my social media. I had an opportunity to come here twice so far. Decided to celebrate my birthday with my husband and for girls night. Since it was my birthday, our waiter brought us 2 glasses of champagne to celebrate. I ordered the Zuzu brew for my cocktail, it was a bit sweeter than I like, but it was still good and I ordered 2 sushi rolls (Chili Tempura and Spicy tuna). They were both very filling! For my girls night, I shared the table fried rice and ordered the Himachi Jalapeno roll. The sushi roll was delicious, but that fried rice was extremely flavorful and just delicious. Our waitress was beyond amazing, patient, and she knew her stuff. The restaurant is still fairly new so you can tell the kinks are still being worked out. I was shocked that both times I came, which were on Friday nights, that the place wasn't packed. Only drawback was, on my girls night, someone set the fire alarm in the lounge area because they allowed someone to order the table fried rice and it got waay to hot. No one moved nor was it communicated what was going on, which was a bit alarming (pun intended). It wasn't until our waitress came back that she let us know. The restaurant passes the vibe check as well. If I come back, I hope to get our waitress during GNO again, but she was nothing short of amazing and I hate I can't recall her name because I want to shout her out. Overall, both times the food was delicious.

    Upon arrival, we were seated at a table but then moved to the bar. They said happy hour was only at the bar which didn't make sense if they seated us a table first but ok. I think they were probably trying to save tables for bigger parties since it was just 3 of us. We came during happy hour and ordered the honey walnut shrimp, spicy Szechuan beef, brussel sprouts, some corn thing, California roll, and spicy tuna roll. Everything was fine. Not amazing but fine. The spicy Szechuan beef was the best item we got. I personally wouldn't come on a regular day and pay full price for anything. They validate parking in the garage next door. I think it's up to two hours.

    WoW!! we were at a beer fest where Zuzu had a sampling table, that's where we met Ashlyn. After trying the cucumbers and walnut shrimp, we knew we had to go check it out. Because it was a Saturday evening and we didn't have reservations, we sat at the bar. It was a very busy night and there were two bartenders. Recognizing that we definitely knew we needed to be patient. They were making cocktails for the whole restaurant and bar service was a little slower because of that. Angelo and Ashlan made our experience incredible. We got the peppercorn crusted New York strip, wasabi Caesar, Yuzu sweet corn, mushroom mapo tofu and thankfully were talked into the crispy brussels sprouts. The brussels sprouts were the best brussels sprouts I have ever had in my life and the Caesar salad was phenomenal, with just the perfect kiss of wasabi! My husband absolutely loved the New York strip. The Yuzu sweet corn had a Brulé top and was absolutely delicious. The only thing that didn't hit it out of the park was the tofu dish. That is personal preference, though. I was thankful they had a non-meat dish. I like a firmer tofu, but the flavor was there! The vibe is a perfect mix, think elevated club vibe but without the club and dancing. lol.. The music was there and loud enough to enjoy, but didn't interrupt conversations. We cannot wait to go back and eat our way through the menu! This wasn't on our radar before, but will definitely be a place we will suggest to visitors and locals. If you're a drinker, get the Sakura smoke. Great presentation and fantastic flavor.

    I came on Friday for a girls night. I opted to valet which there were a few cars blocking valet and i had to park in the street just to get serviced. When we walked in the restaurant I loved the atmosphere. Because I had heard so many people talk about it, I expected it to be packed inside but it wasn't. We were seated downstairs. Our waitress was great. She walked us through the menu and was honest about her recommendations which I appreciated. She also mentioned how they are revamping the menu a bit. I ordered the spicy tuna and table side fried rice. The presentation of the rice was nice. Our waitress had someone else to bring out food while she prepared our rice but he had no clue what he was doing and what sushi rolls he was carrying. She had to stop and hand us our food. The rice was really good but the sushi was just mediocre. This place is good for a girls night or date night however they are still working out the kinks as a new restaurant. Service was slow and the team still needs to learn the dishes to support the main waitress. After we were done eating, the fire alarm went off. No one got up and someone came on the speakers but we couldn't hear the announcement. Our waitress informed us that everything was ok. Overall I'm glad I tried it but not sure I'll rush to come back

    This was one of my favorite places. I came here for my birthday and had an amazing dinner experience. The food was amazing, our server was exceptional (her name was Sam!) and they really make you feel special here. The table side fried rice was ONE OF THE BEST EVER. The tuna roll we got was amazing, and definitely recommend the salmon crispy rice. Drinks were good too! Shoutout to Sam for being amazing. 10/10.

    My partner made reservations at this gorgeous new spot and wow--the place is stunning, with an upstairs lounge/bar. Service was outstanding--Lotus and Morgan went above and beyond. Oysters were small but packed a punch. Dumplings need work--chewy and missing that glossy look and juicy bite. Szechuan beef was good but wasn't memorable. The beef itself wasn't spicy, the peppers it was drowned in were. Duck rigatoni was cooked well but needed a little something extra--like chili oil or garlic/scallion oil to take it over the top. Valet was slow (+20 min) and understaffed. Overall, service, cocktails (try their Negronis) and atmosphere made the night special, but the food still has some growing to do for the price point. Oh, the truffle fries on the menu seemed out of place but I get the trend. Might as well add Karaage to pair with it ;) I see this location as a 5 star in the future. Give them a try!

    Zuzu definitely brings something new and exciting to Nashville's dining scene with its gorgeous ambiance. The stunning design to the lively energy, it feels like the kind of place you'd find in a bigger city. There is an upstairs club area that adds a fun, exclusive vibe (though it's very small). The food overall was pretty mid and most dishes didn't leave a lasting impression, though the fried rice was solid and definitely the highlight of the night. The service was friendly and upbeat, but there were some forgetful moments. It was opening night, though, so I'm sure they're still working out the kinks. If you're looking for a spot that's all about the vibe and aesthetics, Zuzu delivers. For the food, I'd say it's more about the experience than the flavors.

    I was so excited to try ZuZu Nashville. From their Instagram and website, this place looked like it was going to be the next hottest restaurant in town. We went on Monday, just three days after their grand opening on 7/18/25, but unfortunately our experience was a bit of a letdown. Their website listed happy hour from 4-6pm, but when we arrived, they told us they don't have that set up yet. I ordered cocktail #6 from their menu, but they said they were only serving cocktails #1-4 that night. We ordered walnut honey shrimp, short rib, seared sea bass, and a spicy tuna roll. About 15 minutes later, they told us they were having issues with their fryer. Another 10 minutes after that, the chef came out to apologize and offered to bring out a few dishes on the house. Unfortunately, the fryer never worked while we were there so we didn't get the shrimp. The short rib Peking style was tender, but I didn't like the pancake it came with - it felt like stale tortillas. The seared sea bass was slightly overcooked. My mother-in-law liked the spicy tuna roll. They also brought us a vegan sushi roll, seaweed salad, and sautéed eggplant. The vegan sushi roll was surprisingly good, the seaweed salad was just okay, and the eggplant was too saucy for my taste. Parking is valet only and costs $20. Overall, the food was good but not great. I hope they work out these early kinks because it's a tough business, but honestly, I would be hard-pressed to give this restaurant another go.

    Loved the ambiance and service at ZuZu! All the food was yummy, particularly the beef sticky rib that's served with bao buns. Loved almost everything I tried and I will definitely be back to try their happy hour

    We loved the food here and the ambiance was great! The price was also reasonable (at the happy hour!!) only down side was the parking but if you're doing a date night for a special day or something I guess it's worth spending $20 for a ballet. Not sure if it's worth it to go here for non-happy hour as far as price is concerned tho.

    Right in the kisser!

Then came another long wait, we waited about 20 minutes just to get our drinks, even though the bar was nearly empty. On the bright side, the drinks were great. I ordered an El Carajillo, and it was really good! The horchata crème in it was SOOOO good and definitely the highlight of the visit. Unfortunately, the service issues continued. When the waitress brought the check for me to sign, I realized she had not returned my credit card. I had to track her down to get it back, and while doing so, I ran into another customer who had experienced the exact same thing. They have great drinks and normally provide a good experience, so hopefully this was just an off night. But on this particular Friday evening, with the bar barely occupied, the service definitely missed the mark.

    The Ariston - Fully stocked humidor with a variety of premium cigars

    "This used to be Blend. What a spectacular collapse in standards…read more The space is still nice and the humidor selection is solid -- unfortunately, that's where the positives end. Staff at the humidor offered zero guidance or recommendations. Drinks were forgettable, and we had to fetch them ourselves from the bar like we were at a college sports pub instead of an upscale cigar lounge. Then came the cigars. We were left to cut and light them ourselves, which would've been fine if every disposable torch in the place wasn't nearly empty or completely out of butane. Nothing says 'premium lounge experience' quite like fighting for a working lighter. To top it off, the moment a large group walked in, the bartender started loudly screaming out drink orders across the room. The entire atmosphere instantly shifted from refined cigar lounge to livestock auction barn. This place is living off the reputation of what Blend used to be. If you're expecting an elevated experience, look elsewhere."
