Always a fabulous experience at this French bistro. Excellent cocktails and a great wine list. Top quality ingredients make every dish sing. Service is professional, yet warm, and not overbearing.

Superb service-the owner was there and he's so warm and welcomg (easy on the eyes too) ,incredible desserts but that chef Ben is amazing. Last night's food—3 Stars!!!

Olivia

We were seated in the lounge. A biy noisy. Food was served in big amount. The onion soup was in a big bowl, my duck breast appetizer was adequate to be served as entry. The salad was too much and I could not finish. Everything was delicious. We skipped the main dish. The price was in the expected range. I will come again.

Samantha

Great cocktails and ambience was amazing. Not too loud so it was easy to hear my friend across the table

We were still drinking our aperitif when the food was served. It was a rather awkward situation. The food was good. But it wasn't anything special. The only thing that was really good was the dessert. Considering that this is an expensive restaurant, one would expect more. I'm surprised they're recommended by the Michelin Guide.

Amar

Incredible service and very friendly staff. Gave us a complimentary dessert for our anniversary.

Katharine

Love the food and the vibe at Zola. Classic French bistro options with some creative specials on the menu (loved the scallop tartare!). Staff was friendly, service was nicely paced for a fun date night and we LOVED the succulents out front. Whoever maintains those, does a great job!

Janis

Don't order the Bone Marrow dish. My bone marrow dish had no bone marrow. Very disappointing.

Martyn

Very good food and wine selection. Noise levels were pretty high but not to where it was a problem to talk.

Rajiv

Excellent French food in a casual setting with an excellent wine list. What is not to like?

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.

Cherise

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!
