Zuma, the celebrity hot spot in downtown Miami, was forced to close Monday due to “building maintenance flooding.”

On Sunday, a video posted on Only in Dade showed water pouring down from the ceiling, drenching the kitchen as well as snazzy main dining room.

It’s unclear when the contemporary Japanese restaurant at the Epic Hotel will reopen.

“We are taking immediate steps to resolve the issue and ensure a safe, welcoming environment,” a representative told Miami.com, adding that they are hoping to take rescheduled reservations later this week.

”Our priority remains the safety and comfort of our guests and staff, and we’re committed to reopening as soon as possible to continue providing the exceptional Zuma experience,” the rep added.

It’s been advised to check back on the eatery’s social media channels.
