  "description": "Zuma's five interconnected private rooms transform group dining into an elegant Japanese journey, where the sleek design and expert robatayaki grilling create an atmosphere that's both intimate and dramatic. The flexible spaces seamlessly accommodate everything from a corporate dinner for twelve in the Matsu room to a sprawling celebration for 200, while the theatrical open kitchen and premium ingredients ensure every guest feels part of something extraordinary. When your group craves sophisticated Japanese cuisine in a setting that matches the occasion's importance, these private dining rooms deliver an experience that lingers long after the last bite of melt-in-your-mouth wagyu.",
