Cafe Zao   

Ten of us dined last evening at Cafe Zao upon the recommendation of one of the couples. What an absolutely marvelous experience! The atmosphere is intimate with a European feel. Nice for a quiet Twosome or to dine with a small group of friends before a show. I had the quail, a succulent dish prepared better than the one I had in Canterbury, England. The clam appetizer was mouthwatering and the mashed potatoes were to die for! We will be back again - my compliments to the Chef!! The raspberry martinis were good enough to come back for after the show.

My fiance and I had the daily menu of the Prix Fixe promotion this past Friday. Among the very tasty courses, we had cucumber soup (great refreshment with a ting for my tongue), fig with blue cheese (delicious and fun fusion of flavors), lobster cake (the best dish of the day and the best lobster dish I've ever had), and a dulce de leche creppe that even my fiance (not a creppe enthusiast) could not resist. After reading mixed reviews, I was quite skeptical. Nonetheless, I ended up being delightfully surprised and very satisfied. So, I give Cafe Zao a full row of stars!

beautiful atmosphere, excellent service and amazing food

We have been to Cafe Zao many times now and in our opinion it's the best in the city. The food is excellent. Never over seasoned and never too bland. Service has always been wonderful. Any time there has been the slightest mistake the waiters and managers go out of their way to make up for it. And for those of you who hate paying for parking downtown they now validate your parking at night. Could use some better wines, but other than that it's perfect.
