    Not for people with garlic allergies. We had to take a dish that is never ordered in the restaurant just because it had no garlic. Hardly any of the dishes do not have garlic.

     Terrible service, restaurant was almost empty, had plenty of  staff, just poorly managed Had to wait over 10 minutes to get a drink, waiter disappeared repeatedly, and couldn’t ask for more water or another drink. the salad that was not what my dinner companion ordered. Manager showed up at the end making a perfunctory apology offering free desert and not listening Overall, a very disappointing experience, such a shame I really used to like this place, but will not go back

    I'm Israeli, this is not authentic food. I was hoping for home food flavor and cravings. I was disappointed.

    Every dish was delectable! The goat cheese starter is a must. The waiter was friendly yet professional and knowledgeable about the entrees, wine and pairing. This was my first time eating at Tzeva but I wil definitely be back for seconds…

    Food was delicious. The service was excellent. Our server was in training, but he was obviously very experienced and professional. We sat on the terrace. It was pretty windy on that side of the hotel and a bit noisy, we should've sat inside. This is not my first time at Tzeva, but my first review. Highly recommended.

    We had a great meal and the staff was wonderful. The selection of appetizers was varied and we shared two, plus our main courses (lamb shank was tender). The black sesame dessert was especially good.
