    I've been visiting Yoshis for more than 20 years now, and there's never a dull moment! The food is absolutely delicious, and the service is always friendly. I do wish they had some specials since the prices can be a bit on the higher side, but honestly, it's worth it. The shows are always a blast, and I keep coming back for more!

    Went for Christmas Eve Feast of the Seven Fishes and did the full wine pairing— a splurge after a busy & draining day/week/year. The space was welcoming and festive, the wine pairings were interesting and thoughtful and the hospitality and service were impeccable from the moment we walked in to the moment we left hours later. Mistakes happen - especially on a busy holiday shift - but any minor hiccups were swiftly addressed. We felt treated like royalty but then also like old friends by the end of the meal.

    What do you say when a restaurant treats you like you are their only customer! From the time we walked in, to the special celebration message (happy anniversary) on the table, we were treated with such kindness and attentiveness that it made our celebration extra special. Thank you to the staff and Brian, who took care of us for helping us celebrate 23 years with some holiday flair. Oh - and the food? Simply Mind blowing!

    The food and service at Z Cafe are consistently excellent. Friendly waitstaff, fresh ingredients and good value keep me coming back. Recently had an excellent gumbo special and the house salad is big and well made with delicious vinaigrette. Other favorites: their crab cakes and tuna melt. Cocktails also very good.
