                                                          We enjoyed a wonderful lunch to celebrate a reunion with my sister and daughter. The waiter Dave was so attentive and kind, explaining all options including things not on the menu. The renovated space was gorgeous, the room dressed in soft pinks with marble islands and arty lighting. The food was presented with imagination and the combinations on the plate were so flavorful. We ordered grilled cheese with crab on a brioche, served with a raspberry sauce, all served on a pedestal, as well as a tuna tartar starter that was large enough for a main. Other options on the menu looked great, although some of them came with a hefty price tag. But if you are ordering lobster, foie gras, truffles and caviar, you expect to pay more. We recommend Zoe's highly, especially if you want to mark an occasion.

                                                          I've been going to Zoe's for business lunch or dinner for about 5 years. Recently the portions have been getting smaller & more fancy, the prices higher. I ordered Pork Belly, my friend had the Seared Tuna. They arrived on nicely dressed dinner plates, but no veg, no carbohydrates. The food was good, but insufficient. We ordered a side of fries and agreed we won't be going back.
