Zens Steak and Seafood

We love this restaurant. We are new to the area coming from Colorado. They have gone above and beyond for us every time we have been there. The food is great. Service is fantastic but it's the vibe that we really love. It has the fancy aspects but the comfortable, relaxing, atmosphere that we really crave.
Best date night spot we have found!

Every now & again I treat myself here. Tonight, without exception, it was phenomenal. I had Ribeye and Walleye. Beef cooked to perfection and very tender as well as flavorful; walleye was delightful. Staff returned to check on my evening meal no less than 4 times and was pleasant. This is exactly why I mentioned “ I treat myself”. Once again… Bravo to Zen’s! Honestly for the service, price and quality, you just cannot go wrong here. Fergus gem!!

We visited Zen's for the first time for my wife's birthday. It's on the main drag in Fergus Falls with street parking. The restaurant was vibrant with theater goers and it became quite crowded. Albeit, service was great (shoutout to Adrianna) and the food (steak) was excellent. We wrapped up our meal with carrot cake. We'll definitely be back.

As a +15 year veteran of casual and fine dining industry, I seldom rely on first impressions, but our experience here has kept us from ever returning.

Our spinach dip came out ice cold but had melted cheese on top. It was also served with prepackaged corn chips, instead of something appropriate like crostinis, bread, or even pita.

Our entrees took nearly an hour to come to us, and our server never checked in on us at any point.

I ordered scallops and loaded mashed potatoes, the scallops were undercooked, and cold, and my potatoes were ice cold, with melted cheese on top.

We voiced to the server that my date had been a vegetarian for more than 10 years and asked to double check she wasn’t served meat…and she got bacon in her dish anyway.

Overall, we spent fine dining prices on an appallingly subpar experience. This place would get a 1 star if it wasn’t for the fact that they were clearly trying, but the execution was much to be desired.

Food was amazing and portions were generous! The service was outstanding as well! Will be back again soon!

Wait staff, food, & drinks are all excellent. It appeared that all the food was made in-house, even the roll. It's definitely a classier, more expensive place.

My cousin and I had been on the road traveling for several hours. We asked our hotel manager for a fine dining recommendation and he sent us to Zen. WOW, the meal was absolutely delicious and the service was exceptional! We wish this incredible restaurant was in our hometown because we’d frequent Zen.

The popover with butter was good- steak and shrimp lacked seasoning.

Ribeye with Shrimp was great. “Shrimp was my favorite. Sides were great, and we had the spinach/artichoke dip with toasted bread. It was delicious.

They seem to punch above what you would expect. I don't know what I was expecting but they surprised me with how fancy yet comfortable the experience was. Staff was great, food was great. We got the surf and turf ribeye and salmon, seafood platter, prime rib, and some Mac and cheese, all of it was delicious, my wife remembered once we got the prime rib brought to the table, oh this isn't the one I like. But, she was able to eat most of it with the help of the super yummy aju. Would definitely recommend, if you like good food and great service.

Parking: There are about 2 to 4 street side parking spots, I didn't notice until I hit up the bathroom that was parking in the back as well.

The food here is phenomenal it’s one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. I had Boursin chicken and the Mac and cheese the chicken was so amazing so was the Mac and cheese. The servers here were really kind and the restaurant is extremely nice inside and out. So over all my whole experience was just amazing I would recommend going to the Zens steak and seafood if you you want amazing food service and atmosphere!!

This place is so good. There is not many places to eat around here so I was so surprised how fancy and how well the service was at this restaurant. And don't even get me started on the food! It is exquisite. I had the steak which was cooked to perfection along with fresh broccoli. Even the dessert was top notch. I 100% recommend stopping at this fantastic restaurant.
