    The salmon was over cooked and disappointing. Other dishes were fine. The service was fine. The space around us was a bit cramped.

    Our lunch today was simply outstanding. Classic Zuni Cafe .....low-key quality and consistency. Delicious oysters; memorable lemonade; the best hearth baked bread and butter; a citrus salad that tasted incredible; an always tasty cheese burger; and (drum roll) a citrus Pavlova that we hoped would never end. So Great! So Zuni!

    It's been awhile since I've been to Zuni Cafe. The entire experience from start to finish was delightful. The Zuni Cafe's famous Chicken was scrumptious and worth the wait. I will surely return soon.
