Everything was amazing. The service was slightly awkward because we just went for Dessert since we had eaten dinner already. The waitress just gave us like an awkward energy probably because she thought we weren’t gonna tip much since we hadn’t dinner there. We still tipped her 25% because we believe in good karma but I personally feel whether I’m just there to drink a glass of water or eat a feast I should still receive the same energy from the people waiting on me as much as they give to their other tables.

I enjoy dining at Zov’s and I go there often. A bit on the pricey side but a nice place to get together with the girls. I wish they added new items on their menu every now and then.

Service was good Baily was attentive, polite and overall good service. The food was average. The best part of the meal's were the fry's and dessert. Would not return. I don't mind paying for really good food. This definitely not was not worth the cost. Wish I could give a better review.

We could not have been more pleasantly surprised with our dinner. Because it was Valentines Day we expected it to be too crowded, mediocre food and bad service. They seated us right away at a very private table, our server, Lupita was delightful and the food was excellent!! To top it off they had a live musician playing soft, romantic music!! Thank you Zovs!!

First time at Zov's in Tustin for dinner. The pistachio-crusted sea bass was spectacular. Companions both had the filet, medium, which was fork tender and served with a delicious sauce. The martinis were also excellent. After dinner, we moved to the bar and ordered the butter cake with ice cream and berry sauce to share. One of the best desserts I've ever had. Service in both the restaurant and bar were friendly and attentive. We'll be back!

Made our reservation on open table as we do for many of our favorite restaurants…we requested a booth and confirmed as well. Never fails we got to the restaurant couple in front of us party of 3-no reservations was given the booth we requested. When we checked in the girl said Sorry. I understand and know nothing is guaranteed but when people make a reservation, restaurant has numerous open tables. Why are we not following making sure that a booth is open for a customer who has made a reservation and has requested it in open table.. we ended up having to sit next to a table with three little babies, making a mess all over the floor. That is how we celebrated. My husband‘s birthday was very disappointed.
