    I LOVE ZUZU & the Hotel Valley Ho!  It seriously feels like a step back in time - to the 70s (or what I would imagine the 70's would be like) every time I come here. I brought my best friend from out of town here for brunch and we had a great experience. First off- we were sat at a comfy booth inside and given water. The server took our drink order (mimosas) and came back with OUT OF THIS WORLD chocolate chip scones! They were delicious and we ate every crumb. My friend ordered the eggs benedict and I got the red velvet waffle. I tried her eggs benedict and it was awesome. My waffle was good- just a bit of a sugar overload since we had had the scones. I can't wait to go back to ZUZU!!!

    Love the ZuZu.  Everything from the atmosphere to the food.  Not to mention their awesome happy hour -- pretty sure it goes until 7 pm, which is longer than most in Scottsdale.  

    My fiance and I live down the street from ZuZu, but never tried it out for the longest time as it's connected to the Valley Ho Hotel and semi-hidden.  I wish we would have tried it sooner to know what we were missing.  They have something for everyone whether you want a fun cocktail, an appetizer or a full meal.  We always eat in the bar area - it has a great retro vibe with funky chairs and fun wall decor.  I'm a fan of their bramble (gin + lemon & blackberry) and the sangria.  At happy hour, their drinks are only $5.  As for food, I love their seasoned fries, I believe they have some sort of garlic powder on them, and they are served with a delicious chipotle aioli.  Very difficult to stop eating the fries once you start.  I also loove the chicken quesadilla, which comes stuffed with mango and jalapenos + sides of sour cream, guac & salsa - amazing combination!  The burger is also pretty killer.  Be sure to get the one with bacon and BBQ sauce, it's finger-licking good.  

    My fiance and I have only had dinner at the ZuZu once, we tend to keep it as a happy hour spot.  If you're looking for a fun place to start your evening, or to unwind after work, check out Cafe ZuZu!  

    PS - Wine Wednesdays are also a great hit for HH.  The first time my fiance and I ever visited ZuZu was on a Wednesday, and they were serving Silver Oak for only $5 a glass.  If you know anything about wine, you know that Silver Oak is a very nice wine, sold at Costco for at least $75 a bottle, or upwards of $150 a bottle at a restaurant.  $5 a glass at ZuZu was insane and probably what started our love affair with the joint.

    HH: Good drinks but food options were so-so
    Breakfast:  The food was ok, waitress was confused with our request to substitute pork with chicken...

    Ok, I might be a little biased with this one. Only because I live right across the street and I would hate for any staff that know me from being there 5-6 days a week see a so-so review when I'm sure they have more than one incriminating incident to share about my frequent stumbles home from such great happy hours or late night keep-the-party-going visits. Anyway...

    The food is outstanding, drinks are delicious, different and reasonably priced, and the bar tenders (who at this point are friends) are fun to be around. Definitely a cool/swanky place to unwind. The boyfriend seems to like to grab lunch on saturday afternoons when the pool party is going on. Wonder why. You're welcome, gentlemen.

    Stop in for the Blackened Shrimp, the Tuscan Kale Salad, or some happy hour apps. You wont be disappointed.

    My husband and I brought my mom here when she was visiting to grab breakfast. They were a bit unorganized. The food was okay, but the service was pretty slow (constantly had to flag down someone for refills of coffee), but they were nice.

    Beautiful retro inspired atmosphere with a comforting yet playful menu.

    Outstanding items include the pork chop, grilled salmon salad, and seared ahi salad. I've been here almost a dozen times over the past year and each time, the dishes are fresh and well prepared. The lunchtime wait staff tends to be a lot of new employees in training (or at least that's what I observed), but the service is still acceptable despite of this.

    What a great brunch place.  You get to people watch if you sit on the patio. If you go late enough you can watch the douchebag parade as they come to the pool to be seen.  I have had the waffles as well as the BLT with egg and avacado and I loved them both. If you check in on Yelp, you get a free wine; but the waitress let's me swap for a mimosa. Score.

    Food is good but service is terrible. Three times now we have had the same old, trashy looking waitress. My boyfriend hit the nail on the head when he said "'Uhh, she should be working at a WAFFLE HOUSE. Not at the Valley Ho!"

    We made reservations and they said they would do something special for our anniversary. They did nothing, the service was horrible, and the waitress looked like she was doped up on tranquilizers. She didn't smile once, or even seem nice. Awful.

    My favorite weekday stop in Old Town.

    I love their cocktails and atmosphere.  Lots of sun pouring in, well-spaced seating, and rarely packed.  All the bartenders/servers are really nice.  I drag friends here as often as I can.  The food is usually excellent, but I have gotten a cold soft pretzel once or twice, and lived.  Still, highly recommend this place as a HH spot on the way home from work.

    The food at ZuZu is consistently high quality and fantastic.  I had not stayed at the Valley Ho for a few years and last time i was there i dined at Trader Vics which is gone now...  But wow as i impressed  - the food is tremendous.  From simple food by the pool to breakfast, lunch or dinner. All great,

    I have been telling my friends that live in Scottsdale to make a special trip over to enjoy a great meal - not what you would expect at a hotel ..

    Don't miss it!

    What a great restaurant.  We sat outside on the patio.  I had the tenderloin.  Others had some small plates (sausage, ahi) and the salmon special.  Everything was very good.  Great value.  My only small complaint is in the cocktail preparation - we had a couple of drink specials and they were not special.  The flavor was weak just not memorable.  I will be back for the food though, but next time I'll have a glass of wine or a beer with dinner.

    About half of San Francisco descends on Scottsdale in March for spring training games so I made it a point to make a reservation here way ahead of time, sight unseen. From the outside, I wasn't sure if I wanted to have a meal at a motel, but once inside I'm glad we followed through. it was my dad's birthday so all the retro charm actually served up some good memories for him when he saw interiors like this the first time. I'm used to small plates meaning "several plates til you feel full." Here that meant two plates. The dressing on the kale salad took away any inherent bitterness and the lamb sausage had a great spice to it. The almond cake was moist and easily divvied up between us.

    In reply to Jesse T.:

    I actually have been to the Friday night happy hour and really enjoyed it. Same great food, fun band by the pool AND it was a romantic ambiance with the fires going. Thanks for the reminder!

    Cafe Zuzu, you've captured my attention. I've stayed at the HO a number of times and absolutely LOVE it, but hadn't dined at ZUZU. This time I finally did it, unfortunately the place was packed with spring breakers and the food service was slower than molasses, but we didn't let that ruin our morning and neither did our server, who quickly remembered my parents, who visit the VH often on their overnight trips to PHX. Anyway. What's not to love about their Classic All-American menu with delectable items ranging from healthy to not so healthy. And how about that Bloody Mary bar? Although I didn't partake in the Bloody Mary activities it was certainly fun to watch all the spring breakers curing their hangovers. Bottom line, the bar looks bomb. Next time, Mary! They've got all meals covered here: breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks and happy hour.

    There's nothing better than enjoying a meal in an awesome setting, and VH offers that too. It's a hip and modernized retro kind of place. It's comfortable and relaxing. You can sit indoors or out on the patio.

    I opted for a healthy breakfast and regret not ordering the eggs benedict, but a two hour ride home followed breakfast and I didn't want to go home with a full stomach, so next Benny! My two sunny side up eggs with quite possibly some of the best breakfast potatoes ever, were perfect. Smoked salmon on the side was tasty too. My cappuccino was less than perfect, but I've had coffee at ZUZU before and have never been impressed, so no shocker there.

    I love VH, so I love ZUZU too. Even though it took about forty minutes for our simple breakfast to come out....I forgive you....it was CRAZY packed. I can't wait for my next visit. Saving room for the bloody mary bar and eggs benedict.

    Solid 4-star establishment. While the service is pretty hit or miss (shoutout to Molly, the awesome bartender and Bloody Mary master), the food is consistently above average with lots of options. When I'm feeling healthy, I opt for the Kale salad and Zuzu Smoothie. If I'm embracing the DGAF nature of vacation, I'm going for the stuffed brioche french toast. Great happy hour deals, excellent desserts (I had their coconut cream pie EVERY NIGHT I stayed at the Hotel Valley Ho recently), and enough variety to satisfy every type of palate. They make it pretty difficult to leave the resort grounds when food this tasty is right in the hotel.

    Delicious food, thoughtfully prepared, in a cool, retro environment with fun, friendly staff.

    This time we came for brunch, which doesn't disappoint. We got the Short rib hash and florentine frittata, both of which were seriously yummy! Their breakfast quesadilla is our usual favorite, but we went outside the box and tried new yummy things. I can't think of anything I've had that isn't good, but I also know that they'll gladly exchange something if you don't like it.

    Love their Build your own Bloody Bar on the weekend! $5, you choose your liquor, and them build away! Delicious and a fun experience :)

    We've also done their happy hour here - $3 champagne! $5 food! Fun crowd! One of my favorite different happy hours in town.

    They offer a Monday night Chefs Table once a month as well. Although the price seems steep at first, it's a really neat experience. For $52 (the last time we did it) a person, you get a four-course meal, designed around the featured winery or brewery for the month. Representatives from the winery tell you about the wines you'll be having, and Chef Wiley and Chef Sean explain the food choices as well all in all, an intimate exclusive feeling night.

    I've recommended Cafe Zuzu to a lot of people from out of town, and they just plain don't disappoint.

    Located inside the Hotel Valley Ho, this small restaurant is a pretty cool joint to grab some breakfast.  We've come here several times.  We enjoy the following items:

    Eggs Benedict, $12
    <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/cafe-zuzu-scottsdale-2?select=fe0MFm8S3H5mgZTQVPs7mw#fe0MFm8S3H5mgZTQVPs7mw">http://www.yelp.com/biz_…</a>

    Denver Omelet, $12

    There's something about the decor of this place which I would describe as "retro cool".  Service is so/so, but generally good most of the time.

    I've been coming to the Ho regularly since it reopened.  I frequent the bar, restaurant, spa, and/or pool area at least a few times a month - mostly for dinner or brunch.  

    The menu is mostly classic American fare set in a hip, relaxing environment.  The restaurant is perfect for any meal: breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, drinks, happy hour, special events- you name it, they got you covered.

    Brunch: I'm not a morning drinker, but the Bloody Mary bar looks lavish - you could make a meal out of that spread!  To continue the indulgence, try the stuffed french toast or poached eggs benedict.  The cheesy grits are another guilty pleasure. Lighter appetites will love the breakfast parfait or sliced fruit plate.  The fruit is always fresh and beautifully displayed. On Sundays (I think...it's changed over the years), ZuZu provides complementary, fresh-baked scones with your meal.

    Dinner: Like brunch, it's hard to go wrong.  Our fav's include the burgers, the chicken and penne, the artisan cheese plate, the orange and ginger crusted ahi, and the farm fresh veggie of the day (often I just order the veggie for dinner and steal fries from my BF).  The complementary dinner rolls are salty sirens of white bread goodness - take THAT you cruel, gluten-free world!  

    The ZuZu menu has evolved over time and for the better.  A few items we miss and would love to eat again include the happy hour BBQ spare ribs and the chocolate cupcake.

    The service at ZuZu is impeccable.  My only minor criticism is the hostess asks me if I'm a guest at the hotel and for last name EVERY single time I visit the restaurant.  If you keep putting my last name into the computer, can't you see how many times I've been there?  I don't expect special treatment, but a simple "good to see you again! " would be cool.  The one exception is Esther, who works in the restaurant and always chats with us when we come in.  Those little gestures mean a lot.

    Regardless we are TOTAL fans of Cafe ZuZu and the Valley Ho and recommend it highly to visitors and locals alike.  Thanks for making my neighborhood a better place!

    Only been here twice but definitely going to be our new little getaway. Full bar with a nice wine list. They have a limited menu until midnight- appetizers, some salads, sandwiches, burgers, & couple entrees. atmosphere is great!

    We stayed at Valley Ho and ate at Cafe ZuZu several days for breakfast.  I had their delicious thick Belgian waffle w/ sundried cherry butter.  Delicious!  That butter is something else.  Even their syrup was good.  Not too sweet.  Just right, IMO.  The ambiance is retro-60's.  Love it!  The staff was polite and fast with the food and coffee refills.  Convenient and good breakfast food.

    It was a rainy weekend here in the Valley of the Sun, so we grabbed our umbrellas and walked over to the Valley Ho for breakfast.  And again, they out did themselves!

    The ambiance, the decor, the vibe and the staff were AWESOME!!

    I had the biscuits & gravy special, friend had a veggie omelet, coffee was perfect!!

    Best breakfast place in Old Town !!

    Located in the Super Duper Valley Ho Hotel is Cafe ZUZU, just like stepping back in time, the decor is spot on with groovy tile tile, slick furniture, cool ass round booths, and bitchin' lighting.  The rock walls jutting in from the outside and the windows are reminiscent of the my home growing up.  The food was Delicious and the service was exceptional.  I had the ZuZu burger with fresh hand cut fries, I love a good burger and this did not disappoint.  The Chef thought my fry order was a little little light so he sent out more.  I just wish there were more places like this, paying attention to the details and service taking it from great to Fabulous.

    This is a rare instance when I don't always think my meal is 5-star worthy, but I cannot drop a star.  I love ZuZu that much!  I don't go that often, but I'm always reminded why I should.  Actually, I'm reminded whenever I watch It's A Wonderful Life

    I am finally learning that for dinner I should stick with the beef stroganoff.  As much as I have enjoyed other meals, I always miss having that sin on a plate.  And where else are you going to find that dish anymore?  My only criticism is sometimes they don't drain the noodles enough, and there's too much water in the bowl.  But even that can't ruin the rich mushroom sauce with the pint of sour cream on top just waiting for me to marry the two.  Enough for two meals!

    My 2013 resolution?  Go to ZuZu outside the month of December.

    Great eatery inside the Valley Ho hotel. Their prime rib hash on the breakfast menu was delicious. The perfect send off before catching our flight back home. Love the feel and vibe of this place. Love their service and convenient location (for hotel guests at least). Love their hours and menu items. Oh, and love that their orange juice is called the HO-J. Right?!

    Enjoy!

    The twice cooked fries are awesome.

    The BBQ burger had good flavor, but was a little bit burnt on the outside.

    Service was nice, but we didn't find out we couldn't charge food to our rooms until after they brought the check for our group (wouldn't have been a big deal, except we had been allowed to do so the day before when we sat in smaller groups).

    So we were going to a show at Stand Up Scottsdale - and pulled our our trusty yelp app trying to find something within walking distance.  ZuZu was close enough that it was worth trying.  It took us a while to figure out how to get in (located near the lobby of the Valley Ho hotel) - but once we did, I had to shake my head as I thought I was stuck inside the movie Casino.  The decor / ambiance looked almost exactly like DeNiro & Sharon Stone's house in Vegas.  This instantly calmed me - much like warm milk.  Even though we only had about a half hour, the waitress made a couple spot-on recommendations (Beef Stroganoff & Pork Chop) - and after checking in on yelp we even got a free glass of house wine!  I'm not often in Scottsdale, but will be back due to the delicious food and retro ambiance.  Well played ZuZu, well played.

    This is inside the Valley Ho. Good brunch/lunch spot. They had a $5 dollar Bloody Mary bar- WHAT WHAT, amazzzinggg. Nice to sit outside on a nice 75 degree day and eat some good food.

    As if the atmosphere in the Hotel Valley Ho wasn't already fantastic, this little area near the hotel' lounge and bar area is understated and upscale at the same time. I went for happy hour and truly enjoyed the options. I went with the ZuZu Senorita which was a signature cocktail while my friend got the sparkling wine, both $4. I liked my drink but the rim needed salt and perhaps a little less tequila (it was a very HAPPY hour). We each ordered a side. I got the prime rib dip and she orded the pretzels with chips and cheese. Each of us were in food heaven. The prime rib dip came with an au jau sauce and had the most melt in your mouth cheese on top. The meet was fall off the bone good and the bread was perfect. Two little slices were enough to satisfy a happy hour hunger.

    I would def go back here for fancy drinks with a friend, hopefully grab a sit on the patio outside. Parking is complimentary valet and the car boys are very sweet.

    The worst part of coming to ZuZu is realizing that it is not practical to order each and every item on the menu all at once. I don't often leave the Central Phoenix bubble, especially not for brunch, but when I do, I like to head straight to ZuZu.

    There's almost no way I wouldn't like a restaurant decked out in 50s decor - the hanging string globes, retro carpet, and beaded curtains between the booths are all wonderful accents. I have yet to stay at the Valley Ho Hotel, but the entire venue seems to be a welcome retreat in the middle of our blistering metropolis.

    But decor, of course, is not enough. That's where the food takes over and really proves ZuZu to be a stellar joint. I have a hard time not ordering the California Eggs Benedict every time. The eggs are always done just right, and the vegetables and avocado that come with it are fresh and nutritious. I generally get this with a side of their Yukon Gold Roasted Potatoes, and those are also very well done. Perfectly golden and not too crispy.

    In the past, I've had a few of their sweeter dishes on the menu, including their Stuffed French Toast which left me... well... stuffed. On other occasions I've had the Breakfast Parfait, and I was pleased to discover that they do not hold back on the berries!

    If you're there for breakfast / brunch, be sure to check out the Bloody Mary Bar. They have every ingredient you might want in a Bloody Mary available, and maybe a few you hadn't thought of adding. Getting to mix your own drink is a nice touch.

    Service is always polite and swift. I've never experienced an "overbearing waiter" type of situation here. Their professionalism speaks volumes about the way ZuZu is run, and what kind of product they are proud to sell.

    Coffee and dessert only review.

    I love the lounge's mid-century" form before function" furnishings.  It isn't very comfortable, but not too bad if you're not going to stay for longer than a couple of hours.  

    Limited in dessert choices.  I had the peanut butter mousse.  It's like taking a spoonful of Jiff creamy peanut butter and coating it with chocolate ganache and charge $6 for it.  Hubby got the sundae topped with whipped cream and sprinkles...nothing to rave about.  I don't know what type of coffee they served, but they could use a better brand.  The three star was really for the acoustic guitarist duo who played all genres, unplugged.  They made the night fun.

    I will definitely come back here again and try the HH nosh and drinks people rave about!

    Delicious tender salmon with a lot of flavor ($25). It had a nice, lightly breaded crust with lemon and herb, and the sides that came with it were rich and flavorful as well (buttered rice and roasted butternut squash).  A plus for Cafe ZuZu is if you check in on Yelp, you get a free glass of wine (Choice of 3 or 4 wines, listed on the check-in screen).  While the entree was delicious, the appetizer was a different matter.  We shared the ahi tuna sliders ($10), and I was surprised to see that there was no slider aspect of this appetizer, just slices of tuna with veggies.  The tuna itself was seared on the outside, but seared for too long so that the tuna was mostly cooked.  It had a light breading on the outside, but that couldn't save it from the lack of flavor.  The marinated vegetables that came as a side were more flavorful than the tuna itself!

    Our waitress was lethargic with taking orders, getting our orders, serving us, and getting our bill.  Also, she didn't tell us any of the specials of the day, I had to specifically ask what they were.  Maybe it was because we were a large party so tip was already included, but she provided a very disinterested amount of service.

    The atmosphere is relaxed, with a very open feel to the floor plan.  At night, it's a bit dark and the lights give off a red hue.

    This hotel restaurant is a terrific example of how Yelp can synthesize with an invested business and promote a great experience. ZuZu is a gem. Fantastic retro style, unique culinary approach, fresh food, good service and a relaxed, casual atmosphere for evening dining. It's clear from other reviews that management is invested in keeping it that way, something I love to see. It's important to know that people are listening to the customer base.

    I checked in on a Friday night and received a complementary glass of Pinot Noir that paired nicely with one of the specials, fish and chips. Five battered nuggets of white fish nestled themselves next to an inspired take on tartar sauce: fresh cabbage and light cream sauce, nothing thick or mayo-ish. Fries came separately in a lined basket accompanied by a delicious red chile dipping sauce and good old ketchup. Nothing too greasy, which is usually the issue with this dish, I loved it.

    I'll be back in October, and I'm looking forward to the much lauded breakfast. Great to know that the fantastic accommodations of the hotel are backed up by a seriously unique and enjoyable dining establishment. Cheers!

    I wrapped up my stay at The Valley Ho by grabbing brekkie at Cafe ZuZu before heading out. Everything was delicious from the coffee to the farm fresh eggs, yummy bacon which could NOT have been more perfectly cooked and delicious sourdough. A lot of their ingredients are locally sourced so my brekkie was really a delicious conglomeration of all the goodness Arizona has to offer.
    What made this brekkie out of this world however was the Frosty Ho-Jay which is fresh squeezed Orange Juice blended with Vanilla gellato. I swear, my eyes almost rolled back in my head it was THAT good. Orange Julius can kiss my ass after this cosmic experience. Fantastic.
    I highly recommend Cafe Zuzu...if nothing else DO NOT leave until you've had the Frosty Ho-Jay. I can't believe I enjoyed a drink that much that had no alcohol in it.

    A friend of mine was having a birthday party at the Valley Ho last weekend and we decided to come here for breakfast before a day of debauchery at the pool. I ordered the California Eggs Benedict (can't remember if that's what it was actually called, but there's only two on the menu and it wasn't the traditional one). HOLY MOLY that ish was delish. Legit might be one of the best benny's I've ever had. I asked the server if they had wheat English Muffins and she said no, just homemade. "Just Homemade" - best English muffins hands down. I don't even wanna think how it contributed to my own muffin...muffin top that is.

    Anyhoo, we came back here again the next day for breakfast. I didn't wanna be the freak that orders the same thing twice so I ordered the special...breakfast veggie quesadilla. It was good. For sure good. But it wasn't the benny. However, this time around I decided to go with Bloody Mary Bar. GREAT choice. Fantastic choice. It was only $5 and they have a great selection of items to build your own bloody and I'm not gonna lie, I made a damn fine drink.

    I love me some good breakfast joints and this might be up there as one of my new favs. I think I'll just be the freak that always orders the same thing. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. And that Benny ain't broke.

    Had dinner on Saturday night.  Cool retro decor.  
    We split a wedge salad and the grilled cheese.  Both were very good. My gf ordered the Beef stroganoff and I ordered the pork chop.  She liked her entree and I liked the pork chop until I cut into it and found that it was way undercooked.  The server and manager were apologetic and took care of me.  I changed my order to the fresh fish of the day which turned out to be good.  
    The mojitos were also very good.  
    We'll come back and try the place for breakfast next time.

    Seriously one of the best breakfasts I've ever had....you have to check out this place. Our waitres (Susan I think) was a nice older lady who lovingly referred to everything on the menu as her's..."I have the best coffee in town, I only use organic local ingredients", it was super endearing.

    Fresh squeezed OJ that gets REFILLED...yum. Awesome coffee..and HOMEMADE jam that they make in house...seriously heaven. I went there both days that I was in Scottsdale, it was that good. Can't wait to go back to Cafe Zuzu's

    I've been here a few times while bar hopping with the Rage Cycles folk. We tend to be dressed ridiculously but there are all kinds at ZuZu. It has the kind of atmosphere where you can get dressed up just because or walk in casually. The bar always has a delicious drink specials and the prices are comparable to other places around town. ZuZu is actually inexpensive compared to other "fancy" looking restaurants/bars.

    In all honesty, I have never eaten here but I've nibbled off of peoples' plates and the food is great if you're looking for bar food with a little flare.

    ZuZu is a great spot to meet a small group or date. Highly recommended! And it's close to old town, which makes it easy to hop around to other desirable spots.

    This place is a MUST for breakfast / brunch.

    If you're a local, you'll feel like you're on vacation.  It's hidden at the Hotel Valley Ho in Old Town Scottsdale.  The atmosphere is clean and retro.  Great place to take out of town guests, and there's rarely a wait, which is great if you're cranky in the morning like me and need your coffee NOW.

    Their menu is pretty expansive, there's something for everyone.  My husband gets the smoked salmon platter with accompaniments and I get the yogurt parfait w/ homemade granola and fresh berries.  Very high quality ingredients, and you can have a healthy meal without compromising taste and pleasure.  

    Very nice shaded patio with a view of garden-like flower beds and the pool.

    I've been for Dinner on three occasions. It was fine - Let's rank it a three star dinner.

    The parking is tough.  Either valet at the hotel (muh!), or park in the lot of the former Trader Vic's and enter through the pedestrian gate to the West, or park in what looks more like an   employee parking lot, directly off of 64th Street (?) and use the walkway east-ward.

    5 STAR! 5 STAR! 5 STAR!
    Wow... What else can I say?
    If you haven't been to Cafe ZuZu - what are you waiting for? I was sorry it took me so long to get there!!

    The amazing, talented Chef Sean created wonders on a plate...
    Seared Ahi - Delicious
    Truffled Grilled Cheese - Outstanding
    Asian Pear Salad - Perfection
    (That was course #1)
    Brussel Sprouts Au Gratin - Mmmmm
    Crab Cakes over Cheesy Grits - Speechless
    Lamb Sausage - Oh so good
    Mussels - Seriously the BEST I've ever had (anywhere)!!
    (That was course #2)
    Tropical Iced Tea w/Fresh Mint & a side of Simple Syrup -  Refreshing
    (Could not fit another course in... will have to go back for dessert!)

    Well, enough about the food, let's move on to the atmosphere. Very cool, very chic, very retro (50's). We could not stop thinking & talking of ideas on how to bring more people here, i.e., family, friends, large gatherings, work parties, etc. We want to share the feeling & the fabulous food we enjoyed here. Not to mention, they try to source local, have fresh herb garden right outside the kitchens back door, and mostly made from scratch! The service was personable & friendly! And we hear they have a great happy hour during the week, which we will definitely be back for!

    The team that put life back into the Hotel Valley Ho & Cafe ZuZu is genius! The place is simply impressive. A gem tucked away that should be admired, enjoyed & taken to the next level!

    GO NOW! =)
