Great steak house. I had a filet mignon which was cooked the way it was meant to be: Pittsburgh. What a delight! Absolutely lovely. The portion size for the steak was great. I cannot say the same about the fried onions but you are in America so it’s not unexpected (I ate maybe 20% of what was in the dish and I am a big guy who loves onions). It’s rare I say this but the onions were a little too salty for me. I had a key lime pie which was good. It should probably say Key Lime Cheese Cake to be fair. The portion was excessive. Roughly 1/4 of a full size cake! Eating it would definitely exceed 2000 calories on its own. I had a fantastic time. The staff was uber nice. If you crave a steak it’s a reference.

This is truly one of my favorite spots to eat in the Twin Cities. The food is absolutely phenomenal! I adore how all the food is served to be shared with the table and all the portions are appropriately sized to order a variety of dishes. The atmosphere always adds to the overall dining experience. It is always buzzing inside and the dining room is just so beautiful. The staff members are also incredibly knowledgeable and polite. Young Joni is without a doubt a 5-star experience!

We haven't eaten at Zelo for awhile but it was as nice as we remembered. We like the option of different sizes/price for the pasta and they split a large salad for us (beet salad) which was delicious. My butternut squash ravioli was excellent. My husband had the chicken alfredo, which was good but had a heavy lemon flavor. Service was excellent. We had a 5:30 pm reservation before a 7:30 play and had plenty of time to eat and relax before heading to the theater. By 6:00 pm the ambiance got very lively and it was harder to converse.

Excellent food with superior service. Try the chicken pot pie. Its the best you will ever have!

As always, amazing food in a great environment. The staff was lovely; prompt seating, prompt service, they kept our beverages topped up and couldn't have done anything better. The food was perfection. If you're looking for great food with a twist, in a unique setting, this is the place to go!
