Have eaten here several times and food is always good. Ordered and espresso to go with dessert and this is what I got. Staff wasn't familiar how to make them. It was a cup of regular coffee not an espresso.

I came here with my sister and two friends while visiting the area. She recommended it based on previous experience. The restaurant is supposed to be open until 11. We arrived around 9:45 ok a Friday night. We were told that they were closing because it was a slow night. Wow. Anyway, we were told we could sit in the bar area downstairs and the same menu was available. We opted for the outside seating, which was lovely. We were the only real customers in the place. There was a group of about four or five drunken folks who seemed to be friends with the server or owner. They were basically just hanging out and drinking. I got the hot wings and raspberry brie grilled cheese. The hot wings and blue cheese were some of the best I've ever had. The grilled cheese was OK. It seemed more toasted than grilled. I will say that my two dirty martinis were excellent. I'm giving three stars because of the restaurant closing issue and because our server seemed more interested in hanging out with her buddies than being attentive. The food was very tasty though. If they tightened things up, they would be a much better place to spend time at. I still can't figure out why we were basically the only bar customers on a Friday night though. Weird.

This place is great. Great food and the people service excellent at what they do. Never on top of you all the time but never let you wait for anything. The drinks were also above par. Recommend to anyone.

Great dinner. Our server suggested the drunken mussels. We had never had them before but they were very good. The mixed veggies were seasoned to perfection. My creme brûlée was not warm, but everything else was good.

Was highly disappointed. The environment looks fancy and along with the high prices you expect high quality food. But they definitely didn't deliver. The Cesar salad was more of a wedge salad. They toast the lettuce but it gave the overall taste of a burnt marsh mellow. The dressing was obviously cheap. Lacked in taste and color. Was almost transparent. The canzone bread was good but the ingredients were terrible. Spouse got anew appetizer n salad n our bill was over 50 dollars. Expensive place with a cheap taste of ingredients. Def not worth it. Highly disappointed

The food here is excellent - very tasty and good variety. The atmosphere is very attractive - well-lit for the lunch crowd. My friend and I had the Drunken Mussels appetizer, the Veggie Wrap and the Crispy Chicken Sandwich. The sandwiches were served with super-crispy, delicious homemade chips. Everything was delicious and the wait-staff was friendly and attentive.

The spacious elegant dining area is a wonderful place to enjoy but there is also a huge area on the lower level and a private room on the upper level. The food is amazing and there is a vast selection of diverse items. I had an Indian dish most recently, a veggie sandwich on another day. My kids love the mussels. Everything we have tasted there has been prepared spectacularly. Service has always been amazing too!

First time dining there tonight. I had the crab cakes, and I must say they were the best I've ever had in my life, and I have had a lot of crab cakes. The tiramisu is a must if dining there.

Service was great. Homemade salad dressings, which we love. But some of the food (chicken curry bowl, and grilled cheese) were just ok. Great atmosphere and we'd love to come back and hangout at the pub.

Went here for the first time yesterday. Food is very high quality. They do not ignore quality ingredients. We had the pasta with chicken (dont recall the name of the dish) the peppercorn steak and the burger (build your own style). Steak and burger were cooked perfectly. All dishes were, in my opinion, needing slightly more seasoning, although it would be inaccurate to say the food was bland. Put it this way: I havent had dinner yet today and if someone said we're going to zen's, I'm putting pants on. That's a bigger compliment to a place than I'm letting on.
Awesome place, sat downstairs at the bar (recommend). Server was very nice, beer was good. Ordered the chicken linguine dish. Unfortunately it came out with no chicken. Server was very nice about it and discounted the price of the chicken. Linguine was eh.. Being from Jersey, we are spoiled with New York area pasta. It's a new place and showed a lot of promise but they just need to tweak some stuff around before they'll be a 4 or 5 star.
