We love ZB, but a little criticism can be helpful. The food, generally, is excellent, the wait staff are attentive. BUT, it is exceptionally noisy, even when half full. It’s difficult to have a conversation at times, and the noise level diminishes the ambience. An investment in sound dampening would go a long way. Otherwise, 5 stars.
