    Highly recommended place with exceptional service and superb dining experience. I have celebrated different occasions here- birthdays, anniversaries etc with friends and family and I couldn't fault the consistency of service that GZ provides. I love the fact that GZ has special offers all the time such as the cocktail on special or the special price of 2 or 3 courses meal. My recent dining was an enjoyable one. My husband had the wagyu whilst I had the 3-course meal- it is definitely worth every $. We were seated perfectly to overlook the waters so that is a bonus! Until our next dining GZ! Thanks for the stalk of rose 🌹 that your lovely staff handed as we left. It truly made our day.
