Apparently with Google groups you can only post a follow-up message if there is more than one message to begin with. They'll get the interface right eventually. As far as ZuZu's petals goes we had a mixed experience there. The food was tasty and interesting overall but the service was excruciatingly slow. We heard other tables commenting on this as well. Perhaps it was because all the staff was hovering around Georgia Frontiere's table. Again most of the food was well-prepared. I don't remember what everyone had but I think my fiancee had a Tuna (or Swordfish) steak that was really good. One of the surprises of the evening was the side of mashed potatoes that had wasabi in them. The potatoes were green and just had a hint of heat and the flavor of wasabi. Quite unique. My entree was disappointing. I ordered a pork loin stuffed with Gorganzola cheese. It came out extremely rare and tough. I understand that pork can be served less well done than in the past, that didn't bother me, but it was just chewy and almost inedible. We wanted to order dessert and after dinner drinks but didn't as we waited so long for the waiter to come back and when he did he didn't offer desserts. We were pretty much ready to go. For 4 people we had 2 appetizers, maybe salads (don't remember), 4 entrees and a $50 bottle of wine it came to around $180 or so with tax and tip. Perhaps we just had bad luck that evening with the service and my entree. Won't rush back as you'd expect a little more from a fancy place like that. Just my 2 cents.
