Strong with the flavors, this place is. Seafood pasta, a feast most satisfying it was—mussels, clams, shrimp, fish, and scallops, all bathed in a lemon-pepper white wine sauce. A balance in the Force of flavor, indeed.
Service—attentive and kind, the Jedi Council would approve. Yet, a disturbance in the value I sensed. Over $110 for two (no alcohol), and yet… bread, not freely given? A mere six slices, small they were, for an extra $4 credits. A Sith move, this charge for bread feels.
To the light side of taste, the meal belongs. Yet, to the dark side of pricing, it strays. Stronger in generosity, Zookers must become. Until then, a wary Jedi shall remain.

Had dinner and thought the food was very good. Menu offered nice choices and did them well. Located in a strip mall with free easy parking. Decor is a bit worn but has plenty of windows and feels inviting. Service was minimum, waiter was not friendly and did not check on us. Manager/owner was there to attend her favorites. The restaurant has a small porch area for outside dining, we dined inside, it was very noisy, really bad acoustics.

We visited Zuker while camping with our four kids, and it worked out perfectly! They had a kids’ menu, gave us a big booth, and were so patient and accommodating. The seafood was very fresh, my husband really enjoyed the meat, and the farm-to-table veggies were wonderful—the seasonal heirloom salad was especially delicious. Our server was kind and attentive, and the whole place had a very friendly atmosphere. Fresh food, great service, family-friendly—we’d definitely go back!

Stayed in Carpinteria for a couple days for a Sports Tournament. We arrived pretty late (730-8ish) on a Friday evening so there wasn’t much of a selection open when we searched for nearby restaurants. Zookers was the closest and reviews looked good.
The food itself was very good. I had the Cioppino, and my kids had Fettucini and a kids Spaghetti. The menu itself was pricier than most for the meal we received. The server was just okay, as they weren’t very attentive to us, and we had to keep asking for water and other things. The owner/manager was not friendly at all, and some of the comments I overheard from her were distasteful. If we have another tournament in that area, this is one place we will not be returning to at all. I also do not recommend this place at all, especially if you are a minority.

One of the best meals on our trip, Cioppino was superb and the Seafood Pasta was seasoned perfectly. Our waiter, Alfonso could not have been better. I’m sure we will be making this a regular stop on our travels.

This was a very disappointing meal. First, we ordered a bottle of wine that on the menu was a 2019. However when the wine came out it was a 2021. I said that was fine but then asked the price since a two years younger wine was significantly less expensive. Answer: no still $54. Odd and off putting but whatever.
The actual food was mediocre at best. My wife got the filet mignon special which was also $54. She ordered it medium rare but it came out medium well to well done. Fine, we sent it back no big deal. They said it would take five minutes. Again, totally fine.
Twenty minutes later it still hasn’t arrived and everyone else finished eating. We tell the staff to cancel it and just not charge us. She had food from other people. They say “it’s already ready so at least let us give it to you to go.” She says fine.
Guess what: they still charge us for the entire meal including the steak special. Rather than fighting we just paid and left. However, the whole thing was very off putting. It was mostly older folks who I assume are local but apparently they’re okay with this. Don’t look at the reviews- this place is bad.

Kyle was my server, he was wonderful! The beet and grilled pear salad was superb and mt eggplant Parmesan was delicious! An unexpected find in a shopping center close to my hotel. Excellent!

The waitstaff is very friendly and this seems to be a place for local regulars to gather. The food was okay. Mediterranean chicken kebab came with nondescript bulgur and tabbouleh had less citrus or kick than we are accustomed to eating. The curry chicken salad had more apricots it in than I would have liked. The salmon Caesar was tasty.
