    I'm sorry this is my spot and I'm back again lol everything is good I had to try something new! And I was not disappointed.. the staff is friendly and he definitely have a great sense of humor ... never a dull moment .. food is always hot and fresh and made to order. The place is always clean and nice music .. definitely a small gem!

    Joined my friend for brunch today at Arize Bistro and it did not disappoint. After seeing reels about this place I was so excited to try them out. We walked right in before the crowds came in and we placed our order at the counter and the food was brought out to us. Inside was cute and had tables set up as well as some out on their patio. We got the mango sticky rice sauce pancakes and The Usual which consists of 2 eggs with sausage, bacon, or ham, served with kale salad, seasoned red skin potatoes, and a biscuit. We got the bacon which was cooked perfectly. The potatoes were amazing! The pancakes were awesome and hit the sweet spot for us as we shared both entrees. Great service and fabulous food! Definitely a place to check out!

    Mango sticky rice pancakes were super yummy 10/10. They have a little crispy edge action going on if you like that. Outdoor seating was nice. Definitely coming back next weekend for chicken & waffles.

    This place is the place to be. Super cute vibes in and out, and the menu is unbeatable. I had their baja baby skillet, and it was a little spicy but still delish. The chorizo was pretty greasy, and I wouldn't get this again. But trying my mom's hot asian omelet made me envious because it was so fluffy and not oily at all. I need to get that myself the next time I am here. I think what really influenced me to give this restaurant a 5 is due to their famous mango sticky rice pancakes. The sauce is soooooo good. The pancakes taste like they were made using rice flour. Wasn't heavy at all. You need to try these!!! I can't wait to come again for these pancakes and eat some more of their yummy brunch meals.

    Like I mentioned before, my family and I are on a mission to try 1-2 new breakfast spots each month because of how much we love breakfast food. This was the second stop on our list, and it turned out to be a great choice. Since the restaurant is on the smaller side, it can get pretty crowded on weekends. We decided to go on a weekday morning instead and were seated right away, which made for a relaxed start to our meal. The menu has a solid variety of options, so we already know we'll be back to try more. For food, my wife ordered the Monte Cristo along with a passion fruit lemonade. The sandwich was good overall, though it leaned a bit more savory than I personally prefer--I tend to like my Monte Cristos on the sweeter side, so I would've preferred a little less mustard. That said, the passion fruit lemonade was excellent and an easy recommendation for anyone who enjoys a refreshing, fruity drink. I went with the Belly Bomb Panini and added sausage to take it up a notch. Flavor-wise, it delivered, but the bread did get soggy fairly quickly. It didn't bother me much, though I know texture can be a dealbreaker for some people. What really stood out for me was the Starburst lemonade--it was easily my favorite drink of the meal, and I couldn't get enough of it. For our son, we ordered the Mango Sticky Rice Sauce Pancakes, which ended up being a hit for all of us. He especially loved them, and honestly, we didn't even need syrup. The combination of the sticky rice sauce, whipped cream, and mango created the perfect balance of sweetness. My only wish is that the portion came with a bit more sauce and fruit. Overall, we were really happy with both our visit and our food choices. There are definitely some standout items here that are worth trying, and we're looking forward to coming back and adding more favorites to our list.

    Decided to give this place a shot for brunch and the food was good. I think my scoring for this review is low because it's very expensive. The portion is a pretty nice size but I just don't think it's worth the price. You order and then you sit. The mimosas were okay ; I would prefer a juice instead of like pumps of syrup.

    Came in on a Saturday morning at 9 AM. You order at the counter then seat yourself. Grab your own water. We ordered the mango sticky rice pancakes and fried chicken and rice. The gravy for the fried chicken was good, chicken was crispy. The coconut rice was not very coconut but still good. The pancakes were very sweet with mango on top. For two people it was enough food. The pancakes were almost like a dessert. We got the pistachio latte and lemonade which was also very sweet.

    Pineapple Mimosa
    Tatianna L.

    Food looks beautiful but sadly no flavor!! The eggs were soaking wet ( I ordered scrambled eggs) I ask to send them back and the gentleman offered for them to cook them more! By this he meant taking the eggs that sat for 15 minutes wet next to me until he returned to ask us how we were doing then they tried recooking the eggs! Mind you when you order you pay! You have no idea what you're getting yourself into until it's in front of you. Staff was friendly but unfortunately the seasoning wasn't in the food and that egg incident will keep me from returning I forgot to mention that the mimosas are overly priced and really distasteful! Had I known it was coming room temperature in a plastic cup mixed the syrup I would've passed! Taste like Andre's which gave me a terrible headache The one star is due to having leave one for the review to post

    Chicken and Waffles
    Russ L.

    Great experience at Arize Bistro. The Fried Chicken Biscuit was juicy and flavorful food. The Thai coffee was refreshing. But what amazing service, although it seems they are understaffed. Our order took longer but the food is worth the wait. My friend got the chicken and waffles, which was also amazing.

    Food was amazing overall! It's a small shop vibe with a very small dog friendly patio. Service was so kind and attentive - gives you a real family vibe! Mango Sticky Rice pancakes were to die for!! Never had such a good flavor sauce, usually other places taste really artificial but this was tasty. Chicken all around for every plate was great, maybe a little dry but well seasoned. Coconut rice ia the choice of rice to go! Will be back when I'm craving those pancakes and waffles.

    My husband and I came here for breakfast on a Saturday and the wait was not bad at all. Overall, their service was great! The staff and owner are super friendly, great ambiance, and really delicious food! We got their chicken and waffles and the mango sticky rice pancakes. Their drinks are okay, I would personally skip them if I went again. We got a vanilla coffee and peach lemonade, but they were too sweet. Other than that, everything was great!

    Sausage Biscuit & Mango Sticky Rice Sauce Pancake
    Dede L.

    Walked to Arize this morning, glad we did! Arrived a little after 10:00 joined the waiting list and called within 10 minutes. You enter and order, greeted by a very friendly cashier. She answered questions and offered suggestions. We split the sausage biscuit and mango sticky rice pancakes. My friend got an iced coconut americano. The biscuit was tasty, two sausage patties with 2 slices of American cheese and came with red skinned potatoes. The pancakes were very light and fluffy with mango & whipped cream. The mango sticky rice syrup was tasty but not too sweet. We were both full and plan to back to try waffles!

    The food was very good and the portions were pretty big. I got a Thai iced coffee and I thought it was okay, my friends got the pistachio latte and an iced chai and they liked it. The owner was very sweet. We came at a good time around 10:45 where it wasn't busy, but I'm not sure if we just got lucky. Overall was a really good experience, and I would come back again!

A very welcoming vibe upon entry, we were greeted by a friendly couple who answered our questions about popular drink flavors. We decided to go with a Hot Cinnamon Dulce Latte and an Iced Blueberry Lavender Latte. While waiting, there were plenty of chairs, tables, a comfy couch and even a bar area to sit and relax. Tons of board games, books and wonderfully mellow music helps make the experience feel comforting and inviting. Our drinks were prepared quickly and shouted at the coffee bar for pickup. The presentation was great, but the flavors, out of this world! The Cinnamon Dulce Latte was OUTSTANDING. So good, in fact, that my girlfriend stole it from me! Not to worry, her Blueberry Lavender Latte was also top-notch, with a smooth, not-to-sweet flavor combination. Friendly staff (which comes with occasional karaoke renditions from the Bluetooth speakers), a chill vibe and outstanding drinks make this a top spot in the area for hardcore coffee lovers.

They coated the chicken in a chili rub that gave it a sweet and spicy flavor when paired with their maple syrup. Served on top of a waffle and topped with an egg. I loved it and would probably order again on my next visit. My wife had the American plate which was your classic eggs, bacon, potatoes, and sourdough toast combo. High quality ingredients elevated it beyond your typical diner food. Drinks were great too. I had their house made bloody mary which had a nice kick to it.

My partner enjoyed the buttermilk pancakes with no complaints and a particular taking to the thick cut bacon! 8.5/10 the only reasons for docking points was parking and the mocha muchaco being a little too milk forward.

I stopped in for a coffee and a side of bacon, and my total was almost $20. For such a simple order, that's hard to justify. I understand food costs have increased, but the pricing feels excessive compared to other local restaurants that serve quality food at much more reasonable prices. My biggest concern, however, is the impact the business has had on our neighborhood. Since Zuzu's Petals opened, we've noticed a significant increase in litter, much of it appearing to be food and drink packaging from the restaurant. Weekend traffic on the sidewalks has become overwhelming, customers often park in alleyways or in unsafe locations, and it has made our neighborhood much more difficult to navigate. We brought these concerns to an employee, but were told there wasn't much they could do. If this business truly wants to be part of the community, I hope they take more responsibility for the impact they're having on the surrounding neighborhood. Encouraging customers to park responsibly, helping keep the area clean, and offering more reasonably priced menu options would go a long way toward building goodwill with the people who actually live here. I always want local businesses to succeed, but right now I can't recommend Zuzu's Petals based on both my experience and the ongoing issues it's created for nearby residents. Also beach cleaning isn't cleaning our neighborhood. That's no support to our neighborhood. Maybe have a neighborhood clean up day instead.

    I never expected to find stellar cocktails and wings inside of a hotel, but you truly never know…read more Let's start with the cocktails; they are KILLING it. The menu has a ton of really detailed options, each drink with its own depth. The menu changes seasonally but what doesn't change is the smoked old fashioned - a must-order. They smoke your drink in a glass container using applewood chips; it's quite a show and it also does make the drink much more enjoyable. Ask the bartender and they can also help guide you to a drink - I've done it a couple of times and always pleasantly surprised. Next up, the food! The hummus was very flavorful and paired with an amazing fluffy pita bread. The truffle fries were solid but the plate was HUGE, definitely needs a friend to share. The Nashville wings are the star of the show. I cannot stress this enough, this is worth a DRIVE for. The seasoning really does remind you of Howlin' Rays (the highest compliment) and the chicken is extremely crispy yet insanely juicy. The pickles and ranch that it comes with pairs so well. Do note that they are tossing it in pork fat, which enhances the depth but also makes it a little greasy at the end. I also wished they'd warn you this and offer to order it without it; especially for those who don't eat pork or for those trying to cut some calories. There's a happy hour menu too!!! So you can get drinks and food even cheaper. I cannot stop thinking about this place. It's such a sleeper. Head to Midnight Oil after a visit to continue your night.

I found the prices to be reasonable, especially given the quality of the food and drinks and the central location inside The Westin Over two visits, I tried the hummus, barbacoa tacos, proof burger, and a jalapeño margarita, and everything hit the spot-fresh, and well-seasoned. One thing I would call out is to double-check that your drink is made with the alcohol you requested. I asked for a specific brand in my jalapeño margarita, and the bartender used the one I had specifically said I didn't want (Casa Amigos). I watched him make it and had to ask our server to confirm what was in the drink. To their credit, they remade it with no issues, but it's worth paying attention if you're particular about your spirits. The staff was friendly and welcoming each time I stopped in, and while service ran a bit on the slower side at moments, they stayed attentive enough that it never felt like a real issue.
