    I try not to judge the food by the attitude of the waiter. But, it was a little hard when I asked which of two dishes were better and he said they were “two of the simpler dishes on their menu.” I’ve eaten in a lot of “foodie” places around the world and haven’t encountered this kind of snobbery. The chopped salad was ok but the Dijon sherry “vinaigrette” I ordered was thick/gloppy and all you could taste was mustard - definitely not a vinaigrette. So I tried the white balsamic instead and it was ok but nothing special. I ended up ordering one of their “specialty” pastas with lobster and shrimp. It was soupy and swimming in oil. The small shrimp and lobster pieces were ok and the soupy sauce taste ok but I couldn’t eat much because of the oil. Ended up picking out the seafood pieces as best I could and trying to let the oily sauce drip off. The only good thing to say was the wine was a generous pour. Overall, can’t recommend a just ok place.

    Very loud cramped restaurant. Service was speedy and good bar menu. Breadsticks app was very good. Parmesan cheese sauce and marinarawere both good. But pizza sauce was disappointing. My wife ordered chicken parm and was served manicotti. Server tried to argue the cheese was chicken. Lol. Still looking for the best restaurant in downtown Montgomery.

    The food, at SaZa's was good, as always. The only detraction from a perfect review is that the server asked my dining companion for his beverage request, but neglected to ask me. The water was tasty.

    Okay, though I make better at home. Boyfriend said the pizza wasn't bad. Not many glutenfree or Vegetarian options so I got the wild mushroom polenta and it had a thick gravy which would have been better as a sauce.

    Food and service are always excellent, and servers are extremely nice and helpful. The only negative is the metal chairs in the outside seating area are very uncomfortable. But it would not stop me from going back often.

    The Chopped Lobster, Shrimp, Spinach over Angel Hair was very good ! I highly recommend that. Our server was very busy, but checked on our table frequently. The menu prices are fair. And I rather pay the prices for awesome food at Sazas over The Olive Garden's. Sazas has a better selection.
