    Beautiful restaurant, beautiful food, beautiful vibes! The multi-levels of the dining area allowed for a private evening, perfect for date night. The food was delicious and so were the drinks.

    Falafel and Pinot!

    What a find! Wandering around Auburn, it was recommended that we explore the next neighborhood over - Opelika. Very charming place, but Zazu was a find. It is billed as a gastronomic, pub, and it wasn't an overstatement! We walked in and we were greeted by Sipsey, who was also our server. We were made to feel right at home! She explained the menu and recommended several wonderful things that we ordered. She made the visit special. The fire roasted oysters were absolutely to die for! I could've licked the shells. My husband had the Cuban sandwich with the duck fat fries, which he said was out of this world. I chose the falafel and side salad. Absolutely perfect! I paired it with a glass of Pinot Grigio and I couldn't have been happier. This place is not only beautiful and charming, but the service and food are out of this world! Would seek this place out when back in the area.

    First time trying this place after a friend recommended and reading reviews. The restaurant has a very cool vibe. There are several floors and two bars. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. I will say the menu is small and not a whole lot of options in my opinion. We started with the poutine. It was really good. The fries really make this dish. For main dish I got the cheeseburger with more fries lol and wife got the hush puppies and Irish stew. The burger was ok but again the fries were great. Wife said hush puppies were good and Irish stew was really good. All in all restaurant is really cool and service is great. Food ranges from alright to pretty good.

    Two appetizers (mushroom on right)

    Food and Service was good. Depending on the day you may need a reservation. We were able to sit outside and ordered drinks, apps, meals, and dessert. I got the pimento cheese burger and it was phenomenal.

    The wait, the food, the service were all excellent! Love the atmosphere! We went for Sunday brunch and everyone loved their meal! Everyone with the pimento cheese burger raved over the burger itself and the pimento cheese. Do not miss the potatoes for a side! They are fabulous!!

    The worst filet steak ever. Grissel everywhere. I ordered medium and it was raw. Stick to the apps.

    The food just is not what it use to be. If you like burnt food this is your place. The staff acts as if they are doing you a favor.

    The Red Fish on half shell was delicious. Enjoyed the fried green tomatoes dish. The beef burger…read morewas also good. Celebrated a birthday with the bread pudding for dessert - yum! Our attendant was Faith - she took very good care of us. We enjoyed talking with her. We give her A++ for doing a great job. Also compliment the young man who cleaned and set up tables AND made sure we had a full glass of water. He said it was his third day on job and he did a wonderful job for being "new". The ambiance was very nice - every person we talked with was very friendly and pleasant. The restaurant was full but the service went smooth. This was our second visit and we plan to come again.

    The water has an earthy, funky flavor that is somewhat concerning. Nobody got ill. But I consider…read moreoffering people gross water a little inhospitable. I believe it effected some of the flavors of foods that were boiled in it, too. Gnocchi had some of the same off flavor. In addition, some of the flavors just feel way out of whack for totally unrelated reasons. Sauce that the duck came in was thin and overwhelmed by honey. The risotto it was served with seems like it should be rich and homey. But despite a crazy amount of added dairy still tasted thin and flat. Can't tell you why. Wonky seasoning? None of the dishes reflected any familiarity with acid to lighten or balance a dish. Fried green tomatoes were pretty mid despite a quality remoulade and a bunch of pimento cheese. Ingredients seem like they're decent quality. Desserts are legitimately top notch. Everyone recommends the peanut butter pie. And it is excellent, though pretty obviously not long out of the freezer. The affogato Is legitimately fantastic. And I'm not even talking about the pageantry of dumping the espresso on the salt ice cream. The combo is legitimately satisfying, like a well-rounded creamy candy. The plates are funky and cool and beautiful. The staff all seem like they're 19, attractive, and gregarious.
