★★★★★ 5.0 Katherine Cerda · Jan 2026

We came to Zama San Diego for a bachelorette celebration, and the experience exceeded our expectations! The atmosphere was lively and beautiful, the food was delicious, and it was the perfect spot for a special night out. What truly made the night unforgettable was our waiter, Alex. From the moment we sat down, he brought such great energy, professionalism, and attention to detail. He anticipated our needs, checked in at all the right times, and made sure every single person in our group felt taken care of. Managing a large bachelorette group isn’t easy, but Alex handled everything effortlessly and with a genuine smile the entire time. His exceptional service didn’t just enhance the evening, it defined it. He played a huge role in making our celebration feel special, fun, and seamless. I

We had the best time! The vibe was the perfect mix of upscale and fun. We ordered the tropical roll, scallops, and lava cake, all phenomenal. Their happy hour drinks were on point too. Huge shoutout to our server, Alex, who was absolutely amazing. He was super friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better!

★★★★★ 5.0 Kristina Lopez · Jan 2026

There was a mix-up with the group reservation pre-fixed menu we had signed a contract for but Alex (our server) was quick to make things better for our bachelorette party! He was very kind and attentive the entire dinner. The food was 10/10 (except the filet mignon, a little bland compared to everything else we were served), and so was the atmosphere. Come here for the vibe if you like a little more energy than a boring fancy sit down!

★★★★★ 5.0 Angela T · Dec 2025

I had the best experience at Zama thanks to David! From the moment we sat down, he was warm, attentive, and genuinely made the night feel special. His recommendations were spot on. he knew exactly what paired well, what was popular, and what would match what we were craving. What really stood out was how effortlessly he balanced being friendly, professional, and fun. He checked in at the perfect times, made sure everything came out exactly how we wanted, and added such a great energy to the whole dinner. You can tell he really cares about his guests and takes pride in giving an amazing experience. If you’re going to Zama, ask for David. He’s truly one of the best!

★★★★★ 5.0 Scarlet Sivila-Minicucci · Jan 2026

Beautiful venue. Salmon Taquitos, Poke Salad and Braised Short Rib w/ Mushroom Risotto (entree recommended by Davide...the best host) All ordered, were flavorful. Atmosphere topped with music and sparklers galore with 2 gifted shots and a sparkler coffee cake (oops no pic w/ sparkler that fizzled out) which completed my Bday evening! Lovely. Grazie.
