Zitz Sum is a 30 seat seasonal restaurant located inside of an historic building in Coral Gables, Florida. Our story, is a story of resilience, passion & commitment, that is translated in a plate of food, excellent service and unapologetic gracious hospitality. Our current menu is an autobiographical journey reflecting Chef’s experiences and our affinity for Japanese ingredients and technique.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Pablo Zitzmann

From the OpenTable editors: Don’t be fooled by the office building facade—dinner at Colombian chef Pablo Zitzmann’s intimate spot is anything but nondescript. Bold small plates like a potato dumpling packed with Florida pink shrimp and house-cured salmon roe will quickly make you see how the restaurant has earned MICHELIN Bib Gourmand status three years in a row.

I wonder if this was a New Years rip off. I booked and confirmed my reservation through open table for a regular 4 cover. The restaurant cancelled my confirmed booking days later, saying they only had space for tasting menu, and oh, that reservation needs to be prepaid no less. Full fees paid upfront. We did the wine pairing with a tasting menu. We are foodies and had eaten at many top restaurants throughout the world. Have to say this was not great food. Service was rushed and dishes poorly explained. The wine pairing was subpar on choice and we were not served a pairing with dessert. We had to call waiter and asked if it was paired. There was a Complete lack of attention to detail that is required to make a dining experience great. From reception, to food, to wine pairing to being tended to with our food. This was not worth the money spent. In fact, it was a poor experience all around. This was a very poor experience

Extraordinary things happen when actions and values align. This small, vibrant space served up subtle, sophisticated, mysteriously aromatic food, simply presented but described in detail by every person who came to our table. Crazy good food, pricey but reflective of its value-driven founders.

Overcooked ribeye. Ordered medium rare, came out medium-well. They did not make a new one. Only comped our $20 worth of beer and cocktail for a $65 ribeye.

Great experience with excellent food and thoughtful service. Didn’t opt for the tasting menu. The two of us ended up stuffed after the bread and dumplings, all amazing and will have again, but other stuff was tasty also. My wife is still talking about the bread.

We went for the special dim sum menu and it was wonderful. We added the cucumber salad and steak tartar as well. It was a bit too much for just the two of us but we have zero regrets. Our server was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. My wife and I always enjoy our visits but this was overall exceptional. Thank you.

Phenomenal experience, top to bottom. Service was impeccable and the food was next level. We did the tasting menu which was a journey through the selection from each category of the menu. It was spectacular and highly recommend. Each dish more delicious than the last! If you are going to do the tasting menu, come hungry. Great experience, will definitely be back.
