"I had a seating preference when I arrived on easter for brunch. The entire restaurant was nearly completely empty when I arrived. I wanted to sit outside on the deck, where not a sole was seated. Hostess said I couldn't seit there, so I asked to talked to a manager. The general manager Laura Josselson came up, and asked me to leave the restaurant."

"The service was nice. I found the food a bit rich but allot was going on that night. A wedding party, they ran out of two desserts, our server was helpful and the music from the Rixon band wonderful! I will try them again."

"Zed's was recommended to me by a friend so it was my first visit. The place is amazing! The building is an architectural hit. I loved the colors and use of wood and rock...very modern! We ate on the patio where a Jazz musician was playing. Nice views and you wouldn't know that you were in a shopping center. Host greeted me promptly and had read my request for patio seating and had it ready the minute we walked in. I got the special of grilled salmon and it was amazing! Jimmy our waiter was awesome! Nothing bad to say at all about this place! Plan on going back many times and will recommend to every one!"

"Even though it LOOKS like it will be an over the top kind of exciting restautant... it really is just mediocre... Food was good , but the service lacked BIG time. They forgot our bread, our table leg was broken.. the manager asked us how our salads were, but didn't even introduce himself, we thought he was just another customer! The jazz band that night took WAYYY too many breaks and no one really listened to them... should of spent our $$ elsewhere."

"This was our second visit. NY strip sandwich didn't wow me like I hoped it would, but otherwise, food was good, not spectacular. Mixed drinks, however, were QUITE disappointing--lifeless and weak; will definitely stick to wine from now on. Service w/ Tyrone was AWESOME, he was quite concerned with making sure we were satisfied with our experience. Ambience is also wonderful, and worth coming back for. Hope they'll keep working on their drinks; we'd really like to make this our preferred eat-out spot!"
