I first had zarzuela a few years ago. A group of us went to a Spanish restaurant for a farewell dinner for some of the group who were going to Europe for an indefinite period of time.

Mediterranean Seafood Stew – Zarzuela de Pescado
It was a great evening with beautiful food great friends tacky flamenco music lots of sangria and many embarrassing stories from the past. The details are a bit sketchy but one thing I remember clearly is that the restaurant was about the size of a small sailboat; there were less than 7 tables.
Despite this it was very comfortable. The seating was wooden benches with randomly colored embroidered cushions. The walls were a very warm wood covered with interesting often brightly colored paintings with no particular theme. It made the place incredibly social and comfortable despite its size.
I also remember the food. Now with all that frivolity and sangria even as a chef I would be forgiven for not remembering the food. But I remember every detail of every dish that night.
