Le Zoo is an energetic celebration of timeless French-Mediterranean flavors. Capturing the coveted common ground between European elegance and effortless South Florida sophistication, the 200-seat restaurant is a special place where gilded Old World decor plays alongside tropical planters and vintage French design touches. The food, drawing deeply from the refined cooking of Provence, is a transporting experience, ranging from the freshest fruits de mer and chic pizzas to pristine carpaccios, tartares and other signatures of Gallic coastal cuisine. Serving lunch, dinner and weekend brunch, Le Zoo brings out Francophile in all of us.

    The shrimp salad was terrible had sand in the greens the truffle pizza was disgusting full of oil and no sign of truffles , the langoustine carpaccio had no taste to it at all , mussels were ok , and the profiterole was absolutely horrible ., the cream puff was like a piece of board very hard and stale .. Very very disappointed.. used to love going to that place ..

    We arrived early for our reservation so we said we would get a drink at the bar. There was only one bartender so we had to wait a while to order. The bartender was also the service bartender. Our waitress was good. We were never offered bread, but we saw the guy walking around with a big basket. I feel like when I was getting reviews on the restaurant, there was a mention on Michelin but this is definitely not a Michelin restaurant in my opinion. I had the frites and I don’t think they were made in house. They tasted like shoe string fries out of a bag. The rest of our meal was great.

    I made a reservation and we were promptly seated outdoors. The menus came within a reasonable time. The food was delicious. Service needs lots ofnimprovement. Servers weree running around like chickens without a head. No water service, poor drinks service. We had to ask several times to get the drinks . It came half way through the food service.

    Kaino was a fantastic waiter. Although I love the duck i often little tiny pieces of broken bones in the dish. I imagine they break off the bone during cooking. Despite this it is my new favorite. Without the bones it would be even more fantastic!

    I had requested a candle on the desert I’ll order bc it was my aunts birthday, and I had put it on the notes. The hostess knew, bc when I arrived she told me, but our server Elizabeth was almost rude, not engaging at all and not paying attention to us whatsoever, I’m a server myself and I’m not pretentious or annoying but I was hoping for at least the bare minimum. She was training a new server and that could had been the reason of her attitude but that’s not the guests fault. We ordered bread 3 times to different people and never got it. Plus I had to ask for water all the times I needed it. The food was good and the prices too. But they definitely need to do something about the service. Besides all that we still tip bc won’t take on that. But I was hoping for more is a shame.

    Lovely outdoor setting. Traditional French cuisine. Girlfriend date preshopping! The server was very attentive. Solid choice for a relaxed afternoon. We ordered the excellent cucumber soup, the burrata starter (ok but not over the top great), steak frites (perfectly cooked) and a salad. The lemon tart was very tasty!

    We have dined there a few times but the last time we went with a total of six persons it was a disaster. Food was brought cold and waitress was missing in action. I’m not sure why the manager didn’t step in to help out. We will try again and hope and hope we have a better experience.

    Absolutely delicious. Fabulous martini with Chartreuse, gin, and maraschino (Last Call is the name). West coast oysters were perfect, and every single shell of my moules frites was open and the broth was fantastic. Great ambiance outdoors and service was imppecable.

    We were a party of 3, and we live right across the street so we come often. On this occasion the waitress forgot to put in a sub for mashed potato’s instead of couscous on the salmon dish. All the food was served together, but when we sent the dish back it took about 25 minutes for the salmon to come back out. The other 2 of us sat with our dishes in front of us, waiting patiently (as it would have been rude to eat when one of our party has not received their food) The waitress that forgot to put the sub in them ignored us for the remainder of the time we were there and we called a manager over. They comped the salmon dish, but unfortunately it ruined the evening. Food is good, the waitress ruined it for us unfortunately.

They have very fresh seafood and really you can’t order wrong. My husband had the steak tar tar and said it was amazing as well! We will be back! Our server was sooo sweet and even though they were busy she was very attentive and sweet!
