    We went to Zut for lunch and it was delicious! We had a reservation and were seated right away. All the staff members we interacted were professional and kind. My table ordered the Mezze Platter and the crab sandwich and they were both delicious. I will definitely be back!

    We went with family to this Berkeley spot located in a happening neighborhood for dinner. The adults in the group started the evening off with some adult beverages (both alcoholic and non). The Gin and Tonic, and Old Fashioned were both great. The non-alcoholic drinks were fine as well, according to the partakers. Appetizers came next, we went for French Fries and Chargrilled Brussel Sprouts. What a tasty combo! For entrees, the Steelhead Trout with grilled Broccolini, Roasted Marble Potatoes, and Caper Salsa Verde was an excellent choice. I understand the Impossible Burger with Fries was good, as were the Boeuf Bourguignon with Pancetta with Pearl Onions and Carrots, and Crimini Mushrooms and red wine, and the Spaghetti Puttanesca with Rock Fish and olives (though it could have used more seasoning according to my niece). The dessert two in the party went with Hot Fudge Sundae and the Vanilla Panna Cotta. We heard they were delicious. I went with the Flowerless Chocolate Cake with Hot Fudge and Whipped Cream. The service was excellent even with little ones among the crew. We loved the restaurant's relaxed atmosphere!

    This is such a cool spot in a nice location along Fourth St. the lighted patio was so cool. We started at the bar with a cocktail. Had a yummy old fashioned. Then we got seated and our server was very attentive. Had French fries, the burrata and the prosciutto and pear pizza. So so good to share these apps. Over all a great visit.

    My husband and in-laws wanted to eat at the Japanese restaurant next door as we were in the area, but apparently we were hitting the commencement crowd on the Saturday night so reservations were required. Thus, we came to Zut on Fourth. They luckily had a table open inside. Overall service did not take long. Food took about 10 minutes to come out, but with how busy it was, that was actually pretty fast. I ordered the clam linguini which was so good (but drowning in so much garlic!) My in-laws got the trout, which was probably our favorite dish for the night. We also got some ice cream for dessert, which was decent as well. I am grateful that they were able to squeeze us in for a table, and overall our service was good.

    Love the ambiance, between the dim lighting, jazz music playing and the big windows to see all the trees lit up on 4th street. Gisela was our server, she was amazing, attentive, professional and recommended the pork dish which was amazingly delicious and cook to perfection. The fish n chips were very light & crispy fish was cooked perfect. The garlic fries were so tasty and the green olives were yum! If you're ever in the area stop by. You will not be disappointed.

    i feel like restaurants on fourth street have been a miss for me, but this one was pretty solid. the breakfast ensemble is a solid option for breakfast, and i like how they give you dipping sauces for each item. not many places do beignets for a breakfast platter! my friend got the zut burger, which was incredibly messy to eat. however, the garlic fries are crispy and fresh. despite us arriving at opening with few people in the restaurant, the service was slow. the food is prepared relatively quickly though.

    Inoffensive, run of the mill, and frankly -- overpriced. You get decent quality food and subpar service. This was the Zut! burger with American cheese. It's accompanied with your choice of either a salad or garlic fries. While the burger was cooked to a perfect medium rare, the burger and fries themselves weren't too exciting or flavorful, especially for the price of $24. Moreover, our waiter was abrasive and came off as annoyed. I'd feel a lot better getting a double-double and some animal style fries from In-N-Out -- in terms of food quality, cost, and customer service. While I did have gripes with almost every aspect of the restaurant, the ambience was cozy and the jazz was entertaining! I suggest steering clear if you were concerned about finding great quality food and customer service, while at a reasonable price point.

    I just left from Zut and this is the 2nd time I've noticed a difference in the service I received vs the service that someone right next to me got. I came in and waited at the host desk patiently for about 5 minutes and was passed twice before I was acknowledged. When I was finally greated I was handed a menu and told to sit anywhere so I went and chose a seat outside. About 10 minutes later, 2 women came in and were ushered to a table next to me by the very same host that just had me seat myself. After taking my order, I was not spoken to again at all. When the same man came to retrieve my empty bottle, I said thank you and was ignored. He never came to the table again though he checked on the table behind me twice. I tried to get his attentin but was never given a 2nd glance. I had to go inside to the counter to state that I was ready to close out. I'm not sure what is going on lately but this was a disappointing service experience. The food was great as always but service was poor. I work in area so I come here occasionally but I'm starting to wonder if I want to keep patronizing this establishment.

    Date: 6/12/2024 Time: 12:15 PM 64° Sunny I was treated to lunch by one of my high school classmates. I am not sure if I have ever dined here several years ago. The menu looked somewhat familiar. Then I have been in this area for shopping (Sur La Table). Perusing the menu, I narrowed it down to two choices - crab sandwich with avocado on toasted sourdough bread and a side salad or a margherita pizza. I love margherita pizza, but lately I have been on carbs overload. Nix it on the pizza. That will have to be another time. Taste test of my favorite beverage, the Arnold Palmer. Did it pass my test? It was okay. Appearance of the tea was nice, but the tea overwhelmed the lemonade. I had better elsewhere. (3 star). I usually will drink the glass of Arnold Palmer, but this time I wasn't feeling it. My crab sandwich with avocado on a toasted sourdough bread and a side salad of spring mix was delicious. Crab was fresh and flavorful. Spring mix salad drizzled with a vinaigrette dressing was refreshing and a quite a complement to the sandwich. Garlic fries was the other option. As mentioned above, I did not want carbs overload. The slight drawback was the butter that came with bread. The butter was unsalted, but the restaurant added salt, resulting in a salty buttered bread. Ugh! Service was great. Wait time was about 10 minutes for our lunch. My friend had reservations and we were seated promptly.The waiter was attentive and pleasant. Outdoor dining was all right, except for the car alarm of somebody's car. The lady who owned the car couldn't turn off the alarm. (What a noisy racket!) Return visit? Yes, only if I am in the area for a lunch in the future.

    Gluten free options?

    There are gluten-free options, however, the day I had lunch here the restaurant ran out of GF kinds of pasta. Of course, salads can be altered by leaving off crutons and by using lemon, oil, vinegar salad dressings.

The restaurant is fairly small with probably about a half a dozen tables, etc. The owner was very polite, and thankfully very patient with us for a friends lunch.

I ordered a side of fries for a shareable at the table. I found the fries to be very underwhelming and needed more seasoning and considering that it's seven dollars for a side of fries the serving was pretty mediocre. I ordered the lamb/beef gyro plate. The side salad was very fresh and had a light vinaigrette dressing. I would have liked for the dressing to be more of an actual vinaigrette flavor. The rice was light and fluffy, but again, lacked seasoning/flavor. The side of yogurt sauce, was tasty, but did not hit the spot. Why? Because it really lacked the flavors. Notice a theme? I will say, the meat was tender, and it had a really nice flavor to it. It was delicious enough that it was very difficult to differentiate between a lamb flavor versus a beef flavor. It all tasted good together. The soft drinks are rather pricey. It was around $3.50 for a bottled Coke. Yikes! When we were done with our meal, we were served complementary hot tea. It was a nice touch.

Nothing crazy. But then my daughter noticed that the chicken in her Fattoush salad was a bit raw in the middle. She cut open all the pieces she still had on her plate, and a couple were the same. We called the server over and informed her that the chicken was undercooked. She took the salad to the kitchen to fix the problem. A couple of minutes later, she came back with her salad and said her chicken would be done in a bit. I think we were in shock. Never in my 57 years of life/30 years in the food industry have I ever seen a restaurant take the food off a plate that had bites taken out of it, salad that had been halfway consumed, PUT THE CHICKEN BACK ON THE GRILL, AND RE-SERVED THE SALAD TO THE CUSTOMER. We didn't quite know what to do. When she came back with the recooked chicken, we knew it was the same pieces because they were all cut in half as before. In hindsight, should we have called over the manager? Probably. He probably would have had the salad redone, which would have taken more time than we had. Did it take away the fact that they recooked half-eaten chicken on the grill and re-served the same salad? No. This is clearly a major health code violation. Then, when they cleared our plates, the server said to us, "You didn't want dessert, did you?" That was the icing on the un-ordered cake for us. So disappointing. Food was pretty tasteless, and service was... very odd. I think we're done with Zaytoon.

The squeeze of lemon on top made it taste even zestier and really brought everything together. My only tiny suggestion would be to add more lemon. Lemon is relatively inexpensive, so an extra slice (or one thick wedge, like a generous 1/4 of a lemon) would really elevate it even more. The Armenian potato salad was AMAZING. I honestly prefer it over any traditional potato salad I've had. It was fresh, well-seasoned, and had so much flavor. The Rice Pilaf was also delicious -- I'm not sure what all the ingredients were, but every bite had great texture and seasoning. You can tell care goes into it. The hummus was smooth, creamy, and full of flavor. I would've loved one more piece of pita bread to go with it, but what they provided was still really good. Overall, I rarely give perfect reviews, but this is easily a 4.5 out of 5 for me. Since Yelp doesn't allow half stars, they're getting the full five.
