We could not have been more pleasantly surprised with our dinner. Because it was Valentines Day we expected it to be too crowded, mediocre food and bad service. They seated us right away at a very private table, our server, Lupita was delightful and the food was excellent!! To top it off they had a live musician playing soft, romantic music!! Thank you Zovs!!

First time at Zov's in Tustin for dinner. The pistachio-crusted sea bass was spectacular. Companions both had the filet, medium, which was fork tender and served with a delicious sauce. The martinis were also excellent. After dinner, we moved to the bar and ordered the butter cake with ice cream and berry sauce to share. One of the best desserts I've ever had. Service in both the restaurant and bar were friendly and attentive. We'll be back!

Made our reservation on open table as we do for many of our favorite restaurants…we requested a booth and confirmed as well. Never fails we got to the restaurant couple in front of us party of 3-no reservations was given the booth we requested. When we checked in the girl said Sorry. I understand and know nothing is guaranteed but when people make a reservation, restaurant has numerous open tables. Why are we not following making sure that a booth is open for a customer who has made a reservation and has requested it in open table.. we ended up having to sit next to a table with three little babies, making a mess all over the floor. That is how we celebrated. My husband‘s birthday was very disappointed.

Service was just OK. Took a while to get the guy over to light the heater. Wife was cold sitting by the fountain. On the positive they did get our food out quick. Chicken kabob was good not great. Pretty uninspired.

Wonderful from the moment we entered the restaurant. Our server was helpful in picking our selections to eat. The Sea Bass was fabulous, as well as our other meals. Will definitely return to try the other exciting offerings.

Unbelievably crowded and busy in a Sunday for brunch. It took over 20 minutes just to order but once food arrived it was delicious
