Yuzu - Bethesda

We have eaten here many times. Salmon is always great and so is the tuna tartare. The smoky groats and the cous cous are divine! They used to have delicious rolls that they served with olive oil. I was sad to see that they no longer offered them.

Nice place, good food, friendly service. Zocalo deserves your visit.

Wonderful scallops and our salmon selection was cooked to perfection. Sat outside, which was comfortable and the waiter was attentive.

It had been a few years since we were in Zocalo, but it was as good as we remembered it to be. There were still some favorites on the menu, but also some new dishes, and they didn't disappoint. This is the only menu among many in Charlottesville that is really different and exciting. I had the duck breast cooked perfectly and accompanied by a great sauce, braised chard and an onion manchego bread pudding, and my wife loved her salmon. My starter, the tuna tartar, was too heavenly and had a healthy kick. Highly recommended!

The food at this restaurant is always good and nicely presented. We dined outside on a warm early summer evening, enjoying mussels that were not as spicy as described but still very tasty, and a spinach salad with fried oysters that was excellent. The pork chop and duck main courses were both well-prepared, with the chard and bacon accompaniment to the duck adding a nice touch. The cherry compote was a bit too strong for our liking. We tried the Bonarda red wine, which is typically aged in stainless steel and lacked the fruity taste we were expecting, so we switched to a reliable Malbec. Our server in training did a good job, although her mentor seemed less than enthusiastic. Despite this, it was a pleasant dining experience overall.
