   Had set menu for Valentine day . The foods were good but little overprice ( maybe it's Valentine ) . That's why it has low mark on value

   I visited Zola for their Valentine's Day event and had a mixed experience. The ambiance was great, and the service was attentive, making for a nice evening. The appetizer was a highlight—beautifully presented and full of flavor, setting a great tone for the meal. Dessert was equally impressive, with a perfect balance of sweetness and texture that made for a satisfying end to the dinner. However, the steak was a letdown. It arrived colder than expected and tasted just okay—nothing special for the price and occasion. I was hoping for a more enjoyable main course, but it didn’t quite meet expectations. Overall, while the event had its strong points, the main course left something to be desired. I’d consider returning for the appetizers and desserts but might opt for a different entrée next time

   Great vibe, cocktails, and food. The Colette (mezcal + peach) was perfectly balanced. The goat cheese mousseline and the rockfish were both delicious - a fantastic blend of flavors and textures, and great presentation. We'll be back!

   Horrible. We reserved for three people. But the seat was on the side walk with one seat actually on the side walk. Pedestrian were literally scrapping my back as they walk by. I asked for a different seat, many empty ones, and they would give it. So we decide to leave and go to a different restaurant. They had the nerve to complain to Open Table and said we didn’t make to our reservation! I was planning to just let this go until they said to Ooen table we missed our reservation. Truth is we showed up. They gave us a table that is right on the side walk and we didn’t want to sit there.

   Our meals were delicious (I had Monk Fish & my partner had Hanger Steak) and the service was excellent. Great ambience! The owner was very welcoming.

   Booked a late dinner time and got seated around 7:40. We were so hungry that finished the appetizer in 5min, then it took 1 hour for the main courses to come out. Asked different waiter/waitress several times, all said its coming any soon. And more sadly, we only had the outdoor seats, although it had heater but after 1 hour, we all felt freezing. Bad experience. Update: After a good conversation with the manager, I feel comfortable revisiting the restaurant to see if the service has improved. I appreciate their effort to address my concerns and will update my review accordingly.
