Fantastic Place

I ate dinner here with my boyfriend before heading to a show at the Razz Room. What a great meal! Our waiter was very attentive (and funny!) and the food was great - and you have to try the sushi. Loved it and would recommend to anyone.

This place is an overall pretty good place to eat at. The food is pretty good and the service was nice. I would recommend eating here to anybody that asks

Cuisine described as EuroJapanese...wonderful food and great service. Chef Barney Brown knows what he is doing!
The Black Cod is a signature dish, sushi was exquisite and an interesting dessert wine section. Will be back!
- Pros: validated parking, a warm respite from the white marble lobby, great food

An unpleasant experience
by nicgarnett

A very unpleasant experience because:
1. The restaurant would not honor the restaurant dot com coupon
2. The management was entirely unresponsive
3. Some of the food was inedible due to exceptionally high salt content
4. The waiter was arrogant and indefferent
We will certainly not return and would in no way recommend this restaurant.
- Pros: None
- Cons: Attitude; service; food

This guest tried to use restaurant.com during lunch. The terms on the certificate and the website explicitly state the certificate is to be used for dinner only.
We feel cheated!

We had a very bad experience at this restaurant. I was given a gift certificate by my staff for Sunday Brunch for 4. The hotel's salesperson faxed over the certificate because my birthday party was that night and the staff wanted something to give me. . I made reservations and gave the number of the certificate to the reservation clerk. Well needless to say- we had a rude awakening when they refused to take the faxed copy of the certificate. The manager and the Director of the restaurant are equally unresponsive as yet. I don't recommend such a place.

We worked with the guest to resolve the issue but she presented a photocopy of a gift certificate from over two years ago. Hotel policy precludes us from accepting anything other than the actual gift certificate in the event of fraud. We are happy to honor the actual gift certificate once presented.

I've been to Anzu a few times now. The food presentation varies from average to above average each time. Wish it would always be the same. Menu is limited. The Rock is cool, table side cooking. Price was good for quality of food. Staff was very sweet and helpfull. Nice place to go in downtown area. Ask for a seat by the window for cool downtown view.
- Pros: Service
- Cons: Ambience is simple for the price
Anzu is a poor choice for holiday dinners

Christmas dinner was terrible, terrible, terrible!
What a huge disappointment and embarrassment to have taken an out-of-town guest there for dinner. To begin with, I never would have thought food would languish in a hallway. The hot entrees were of poor quality and barely warm to the touch. Some of the dishes looked as if prepared for a previous banquet (e.g, venison, mashed cauliflower, and something questionable). Furthermore, the presentation was of poor taste; the buffet looked as if it was ran-sacked by a bunch of drunk frat boys on a cruise ship.
And imagine having to cough up $55 per person! Stay away from this place.
I?ve checked Anzu?s website menu and was totally fooled by it. The presentation of the menu items was truly an example of ?it looked better on paper.? I think I?ve eaten better meals served by arthritic cafeteria women in hair nets.
- Pros: none
- Cons: poor quality food
Great Food.

Anzu is a great place to dine. Even though the it was a kind of pricey the quality of the food made it worth it. I really recommend this place to those picky eaters that are looking for great food quality.
Sizzler does holiday buffets better

I had reservations for Thanksgiving Dinner. You see the nice chairs and spacious aisles in the photographs, forget it. We were seated in a room with bad banquet tables and chairs. There was barely enough room for the waitstaff to walk between the tables. There were tables for 2 jammed against a wall with no room to get out without getting the people at the next table to stand up and let you out.
There we so many people that it took 15 minutes to make it through the buffet line. By the time I got my plate and started making my way through the line, a number of the serving dishes were empty. This was 30 minutes after they opened for dinner. The person who was refilling the dishes had to make it though another narrow aisle, along with customers in line. It was a mess. This was not worth the $55 per person they charged.
To make matters worse, I had to guarantee my reservation with a credit card. We paid with my BF?s credit card. The restaurant explained the mistake by telling me that the last names are not the same, so they charged my credit card as a no show. They did this not once but TWICE. It has been a week and still no credit. I?ll have to contest it with my credit card company.
By the way...the food was good and the waitstaff was good bringing drinks and clearing plates.
- Pros: Food
- Cons: Everything else
