ZuZu is officially our new girls' night destination! The atmosphere is lively, stylish, and so much fun. We loved trying different signature cocktails, especially the Right in the Kisser and Red Moon Rising. We ordered a variety of sushi and small plates to share, which made the experience even better. Everything looked beautiful coming to the table. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the entire evening was so much fun. Already planning our next visit!

Missed my reservation time by about 20 minutes due to traffic. Nashville can be like that. I appreciate the promptness of being able to get another seating. The spicy tuna crispy rice and the tempura mushrooms were both divine. My favorite flavor was definitely the yellowfin with charred banana peppers. We had a wonderful evening with perfect weather to enjoy the patio.

This was the best anniversary dinner experience! The food and service is exceptional! Nevy was exceptional, and made our experience so special and memorable! They have a wonderful GF menu and take allergies seriously. Each bite was better than the last, and the cocktails were 10/10! We’ll definitely be back!

Probably the best meal I've had in Nashville--or just about anywhere--in years. And IMHO, it was by far the absolute best value in the context of the city's most esteemed, high-viz restaurants. I don't know why it took me so long to get to International Market. I guess we didn't want to haul over from East Nashville but it was so worth it. We were a mixed crowd of omnivores, vegetarians and vegans. Every single person found an array of amazing options to order and every single one of us left happy, satisfied, and basically swooning over every mouthful of the meal. Service was also so welcoming and unpretentious and Arnold even came out to say hi and to set a complimentary dish on the table. Highly recommend the pad brussels sprouts, which hit the perfect balance of savory and sweet, crispy and tender. The drunken noodle pad kee mao has now taken over the guilty soft spot I've long held for Pad Thai. What stole the show though was the Miang Khao Tod Lettuce Wrap. I'm still having visions of breaking up that gorgeous rice ball and spooning spoonfuls of that fragrant goody-flecked rice into the lettuce leaves and devouring each perfect bundle. And as someone who is no fan of vegan desserts, I can safely say that I will again order the outrageous banana-y coconutty split that our table shared, even when I return without my vegan friend. For sure, my return will be very very soon. Thank you International Market!!!
