    Great secret tapas place in downtown Napa. Get the potato omelette and paella. They don't take rezos so put your name on the list and post up down the street at Fagianis with a cocktail while you wait

    Outstanding experience! Every single dish was great in its own way - pimientos de padron, chorizo con papas, flat iron steak, pulpo con zanachoria and so much more

    Love this spot. Cool wines, great food, and lively vibe! The corn chowder, fried cheese, steak, both paellas, and gambas are all winners. Easy go-to date spot. Order around 5 for 2 people.

    The food is awesome and you are able to try many different dishes due to the small sized portions (tapas style). Had plenty of Pescatarian options.

    Try shrimp ceviche with bright cara cara oranges, chili oil and shaved red onions, plump Gulf coast shrimp with a smoky pimento sauce, fried Tolenas Ranch quail over rich & smoky Rancho Gordo posole.

    Boquerones, gambas, and octopus all good. Tres leches cake can't be beat! Ignore negative post about the paella. I too have had it in Spain and both the meat and seafood versions at Zuzu are good.

    SO GOOD AND EXQUISITE! The octopus--to die for. The seafood stew--AMAZING. Bacalao--fantastic starter. Plus more. Our server had perfect timing of one right after another.

    The mussels with tomatillo and anaheim chillies are a revelation; the lamb with Moroccan bbq a consummation.

    The small tapas like the lamb shank and the one with the Dungeness Crab. Very delicious break from wine tasting at the wineries

    The food is good as well as the service, but it isn't real spanish food (they offer chilaquiles - that's mexican). I'd would say the food is a mix of spanish and mexican.
