Haven't been to Zut in a while and don't know why. Lovely brunch menu with a variety of options. Service was attentive but he was great about letting us have our time to chat. I had the Salmon Nicoise which was a VERY healthy portion. Friend had avo benedict which she said was great. Will definitely go back for lunch or dinner. View all feedback.
What AlanC dislikes about Zut Tavern:
Ignored by staff after seated outside. Had to approach Maitre D’ to request a server who then repeatedly failed to perform at minimal levels of expectation. Examples: 2 entrees served while 2 others weren’t ready and served much later, side order requested 2 or more times and finally arrived at end of the meal(it was comped), rack of lamb was literally served as near raw- blood red meat, pasta was mushy. We dine here... View all feedback.

Food and service were quite nice.
My friends and I ordered the New Year Eve Special three course take out Dinner and loved it. Top to bottom. Salauld Lang Syne. Mandarin Orange, avocado, butter lettuce with green goddess dressing. Pre et Maree )surf and turf 6 oz. filet mignon with Demi glacé, grilled chili lime shrimp, garlic mashed potato, grilled lemon, asparagus. Roses de Pomme ‘ delicate roses of Fuji Apple, puff pastry, creme Fraiche, confectioners sugar, mint and maraschino. Sooo delicious. Great way to usher out all the bad in 2020, keep the good, and welcome 2021 with a ton of hope. Thank you, Zut!

I keep returning to this restaurant for their delicious crispy smelts. I love the savory crunch of these little fish, and since I don't like to deep fry food myself, I always satisfy my craving for them here.
The food at this restaurant is of good quality and reasonably priced! I had the urge to say "ZOOT SUIT RIOT" while eating here, but I decided against it... probably for the best, don't you think?
Shopping for furniture can be exhausting, especially when you're not the one looking for furniture. However, my friend and I needed to refuel before she made her decision.

Best roast duck breast meal possibly ever. Good drinks. Lovely setting. Highly recommended.
The service was exemplary! The food was also very good, though my Dungeness crab cake salad was a little disappointing. If only to be served by Luis again- I would happily return.
We love the atmosphere at Zut, but it's not fancy enough to not have salt and pepper on the table. My ceasar salad was watery and over dressed and the shrimp were still slightly see-through. Service was great and we will be back, but I'll order something else...
Nice birthday lunch. But since Zut asked what occasion it was, I assumed one dessert would be on the house. It was uncomfortable to discuss in front of the birthday girl. Best not to ask if we’ll be going for an occasion if there’s no reason to let you know.
Zut is a fabulous place to meet friends and take family! The food is consistently delicious and satisfying. This time I was taking out my 92 year old mom to meet up with my friends. It did not disappoint. We had appies to share, great salads, tasty pizzas and delicious main dishes. Best of all, mom could have her martini, me my classic Manhattan, my friends their wine, beer or other well drink. I seem to always go here and close the place too!

Great Caesar and terrific mushroom pizza. Excellent service!
The staff here is really nice and seem to try to a accommodate every request. The vibe is kind of a neighborhood place and feels very warm and inviting. We tried the coal roasted grapes over ricotta. It tasted like warm grapes over ricotta. It was fun nonetheless. The scallop salad was a little fishy smelling and a tad overcooked. The pork chop was cooked slightly pink and perfect. The pappersdelle with bolognese was also tasty. I think the food is basic and most dishes are good but I dont see grilled items in the $30 range.

Had a really awesome experience being a first-timer to Zut Tavern! The waitstaff was amazing and treated us very kindly.

We dine here frequently and were very disappointed in this Christmas Eve meal. The staff looked unfamiliar-maybe a backup crew?
