The food was all pretty mediocre. The pacing of our meal was also kind of all over the place. Meatballs at the very beginning followed by a soup then the charcuterie board and salad? I would say that's not ideal. I had a delicious cocktail called the Collette and the 2 wines I enjoyed were both good. Value was pretty low overall.
Staff is always so attentive, accommodating, and friendly. Food is superb as usual. Always a pleasure to come visit.
We love this spot! It's great for a date night, reconnecting with friends, or a fun weeknight dinner. We'll definitely be back soon!
The vibe here is great—dark, moody, with excellent artisan cocktails and very, very good food. The steak frites were delicious, and the new stone fruit salad was outstanding, that dressing is a wow! Service tonight was off, and was not their best, surprising as we have always had terrific service.
Food, service, cocktails, and wine options were fantastic. Even though each one in our party has very different food preferences, everyone found dishes they loved. The octopus carpaccio, the bouillabaisse, the duck, and the dry-aged ribeye were standouts for us. Our waiter's wine recommendations were spot on. Sitting at a table on the sidewalk is good from a noise perspective, but the inside has better ambience.
Waiter forgot my drink. My burger was too rare and not cooked. Very mediocre for the price
We used inKind app to pay but we got double charges the tips. We gave a generous 20% tip ($33.18) but we got charged $33.18 in our inKind account and another $33.18 in our Amex so a total of 40% tip. We connected the restaurant but not respond. We are not happy about it and it is a bad experience
We sat at the bar and shared several dishes. The Bone Marrow, the Melon Salad, the Duck and a Peach Galette. Every dish was delicious, the service was friendly and prompt. I highly recommend Zola and I plan to return often.
Another great evening at Zola. Good food, creative cocktails and great service. Due to a late cancellation, Zola was much less noisy than usual, adding to the evening
Excellent food and service, but tables are so close to each other that all you hear is people on your left and your right.

Everything was amazingly delicious and they also had the best menus! The oyster was superb and so was the duck confit salad, the roasted chicken, and chocolate mousse. I also loved the ambience. Would definitely go again!
We sat outside and it was lovely. The inside is beautiful, very elegant and fun. We ordered the salmon and the chicken, both were boutstanding, the chicken was especially delicious, perfectly roasted. The chef is clearly talented! Highly recommend.
We had a great time - love the decor/ambiance, the service was great and the food/drinks were delicious!
We loved Zola! The service was outstanding and the food was great quality and so delicious. While a bit on the pricey side, it's the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion or go for a date night. Would highly recommend!
A warm and welcoming hostess who showed us to our table. Nice non-alcoholic cocktails offerings. Menu options of fromage/charcuterie, burrata & melon salads, steak/frites & salmon entrees were all well prepared and delicious. Dessert of galette and chocolate mousse were good. Now as for the service, our waiter completely forgot an ordered soup, but it was to late to serve. He also forgot to ask a diner his choice of dish - we kind of all stared at each other as though I was invisible? Unfortunately, I was the table's host and paying the bill. It was too bad our waiter was really not interested in the restaurant's menu or his job, but by golly that 20% tip was already highlighted on his hand-held computer. Bottomline, food was very good, but the service was definitely "off."
