Possibly the worst service I have ever experienced. Our waiter at Zuma took half our order, then in the middle of this ran to another table where seemingly the gentleman there had pressing issues to resolve which were far more important than our need to order our meals. We had to actually flag the waiter down to finish taking our order.
When the food eventually came, it was all but one of our meals. Mine, sadly for me, took a further 10 minutes to arrive, during which time I had to convince the rest of my table to eat their food and not wait. They felt bad. I felt bad.
Some of our party had ordered a bottle of wine. As is typical in places like Zuma, the bottle was poured by the sommelier and taken away rather than left on the table. This is not unusual. However, typically, after a bottle is opened and the initial taste is approved, the sommelier should continue to monitor and refill glasses as needed. Unsurprisingly at this point, the sommelier was truly terrible at performing this task. First, after we had to get her attention (once we figured out where she was) she refilled one glass, but not the other. Thereafter, she was rarely seen and had to be asked each time to refill glasses. It was extremely busy in Zuma so it is understandable that keeping an eye on everyone’s drink is very difficult. However, when asked if she would simply leave the bottle of wine on the table, she refused.
There were several further issues but there are only so many hours in the day.
To sum up; if you’re happy to pay hundreds of euros for truly appalling service then head over to Zuma, you’ll love it!
