    The food at Green Zebra is excellent. Very well prepared, fresh & nicely platted. The service is below par and ruined the experience. This place could be so much more if only it was better managed. The waitress literally forgot about us as we sat waiting for her to come and clear our plates, box our left-overs, and give us our check. We called to her twice but she just walked past rushing to get drink orders for outdoor tables. She spends way too much time socializing instead of being cognizant of her tables and the stages of dining. The hostess and the busboy vanished and there was no bartender. This was our 4th time there. First 2 were good (different staff than this and the prior one). This and the prior one were terrible. We will be giving the Green Zebra a rest and hope management will take a firm hand and get things in order.

    Overpriced “healthy” food. Plates/ presentations are beautiful, tastes good, but If you are not into zucchini noodles and vegan cheese this place isn’t for you. Outdoor sitting is beautiful. Besides our party the place was otherwise mostly empty. Waitress was clearly irritated by all the questions and service was affected

    Fun Decor and vibe. Food was delicious. The chef had a passion-fruit egg dessert as a special item that was not only delicious but very inventive. Excellent value for money!

    Excellent food service. We sat outside. The hired saxophone twelve feet from our table played and sang very well but conversation at the table was impossible. A quieter instrument would have been a better choice. Prices were higher than we expected.
