Zutro

The view is great . Service was split. We stayed in the hotel overnight and went up to Z in the afternoon to check it out. The bartender was friendly, but beer was warm, and my wife could not finish her drink because it was so sweet. Even after they added more sour mix. Went back at the end of the night after the ballgame, and the drinks were much better, but the service was horrible. The bartenders were rude, and it took forever to get a drink.

The moment you step foot into Zutro, you're instantly cocooned in an enchanting atmosphere of culinary prowess and exceptional hospitality, but nothing could have prepared me for the exquisite gastronomic journey that was the Grilled Salmon Florentine. The dish was presented with a delicacy and artistry that would easily find a home in any gourmet magazine. It was love at first sight, but as the saying goes, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. I took the first forkful, and a symphony of flavors exploded in my mouth. The salmon was flawlessly grilled to perfection, boasting a tantalizing seared exterior that gave way to an incredibly tender, melt-in-your-mouth interior. Each morsel was imbued with a smoky-charred flavor that was subtly divine. The fish, undeniably the star of the show, was fresh and flaky, with a harmonious balance of natural sweetness and a gentle hint of the ocean. But it was the creamy risotto that truly stole the show, transcending what one expects from this humble Italian rice dish. Cooked impeccably, it was velvety and rich, each grain of rice distinct yet amalgamated into a smooth, creamy ensemble. The risotto cradled the salmon like a silk pillow, ensuring every bite had the perfect blend of flavors and textures. The Florentine finish, a blanket of spinach, mushrooms, and tomato cream, added a whole new dimension to this dish. The spinach was fresh and vibrant, bringing a welcomed bitter contrast to the richness of the dish. The mushrooms, cooked to an ideal tender-yet-earthy texture, added a layer of umami depth that was simply sublime.
