My wife and I have recently "rediscovered" this wonderful place to eat. Food was fantastic, service is excellent. We don't eat out very often, but Zach's restaurant is high on our list of favorite places to eat!

Decent Vegeterian options, not so great.

This review is purely on the Bar/Lounge side, not the restaurant side. Visited on a Saturday evening, most visitors I would assume are hotel guests most of whom are labor hands driving to/from the north, so that gives you an idea of the crowd. This is probably the better lounges in town, open and plenty of seating. The bar is tiny but packs a punch. It may not have have a big barside but they can make just about any cocktail you want... thus, no physical menu. That's may bit annoying for someone who isn't a usual drinker and needs a list to choose from. Also, had no clue how they charge for drinks. Food was surprisingly good, not sure why I had low expectations. The food came out at a reasonable rate. We had pulled pork nachos, foccacia bread and calamari. All were great. Service was relatively good. We weren't waited on very much, I'm guessing just typical evening traffic and chaos, but the ladies who did serve were very friendly and nice.Get the peanut butter pie. You won't regret it.

Food and service was excellent. We got seated quickly and our food also came out quickly. Recommend getting the oysters and scallops.

A mixed bag. Went one time and it was great, went another time and it was not good. First time we had decent service, amazing food, and really good mixed drinks. Second time it was admittedly busier. My fiance said the old fashioned he had was the worst he’s ever drank. Had tons of ice and watered down. His burger was also pretty grisly. Fries were not crisp at all. We had three different waiters. They forgot our drink orders at the end and had to re-ask us. No salt on tables. Just a bit disorganized.

Solidly "ok".The wife's fish was very good, but the vegetables were burnt and the roasted potatoes were very bland.My burger was ok, not bad at all, but nothing I would come back for. The fries were likewise uninspiring, but again, not bad, just average.Service was friendly but unfocused. I was initially given someone else's dish.All in all I'm not unhappy, but nothing about the food or service would inspire me to return.

Was the only place open for breakfast an let me tell you, for $23.67 each we should have gone to McDonald’s. Apparently Monday’s are buffet for breakfast. The sausage wasn’t cooked. The powdered eggs were dry and bland. The gravy for biscuits and gravy had onion in it? An was runny. You could tell the danishes were from Costco. The wait staff was friendly but obviously English wasn’t their first language for any of them. An I’m pretty sure the one guy didn’t know anything other than “water?” We also had to wait almost 15 minutes after we were done eating to get out checks. Won’t go back.

They advertised breakfast with a menu and reasonable prices. When we got there it was a very pricey “just ok” buffet.

Food was a let down compared to what I had expected from my last visit. However I havnt been since pre covid. Pasta dish was very bland and uniform texture, tons of sauce and very little pasta. Pasta tasted like it had been prep cooked in a large batch and reheated, the Ruben tasted like mayonays and was just dripping with sauce, meat tasted like it was slow cooked in water leaving a lot to be desired. Atmosphere was fantastic ?

I enjoyed Zach's, but they could work on the atmosphere a bit. At first glance, it looks pretty nice. There was quite a bit of noise from the hotel patrons, unfortunately.

It was great food unfortunately the staff didn't listen to me regarding my allergies and I ended up throwing up and being in the bathroom the rest of the night and they didn't have many options unfortunately I probably will not be back because of this experience

Save your money or flush it down the toilet. The staff was really nice, but the food was awful. I got a 2 egg scramble with virtually NO eggs. I didn't send it back cuz I was hungry, the next day I asked the staff if there were any eggs in what I ordered and they said everyone asks that! Not a good answer. This restaurant is located in Sophie Station hotel. You have to pay for a not great breakfast. I don't eat meat, so I can't speak to that, but spend your money somewhere else.
