    Service was incredibly horrible, which ruined the experience. We wanted appetizers, but by the time the waiter finally came around we knew what we wanted for dinner and just wanted to eat. He asked if we had any questions, my wife asked one and he ran away after answering it and without waiting to ask if we were ready to order (or even for another question). It was over 30 minutes before another waiter asked if he could help us since we had been waiting so long. We saw our waiter only 2-3x in the nearly 2 hours it took for our two meals, the other waiter helped us most of the time. Food was good (not incredible), but the waiter charged another table bill to my credit card and that took another 10 minutes to correct. By the time we finally got that worked out, we saw we were overcharged but didn't want to wait around for the fix since we had already missed much of our date night. We tipped the spare sitter and no tipped ours. We were 1 of only 7 tables with customers, and 3 waiters, so that wasn't the issue. We won't be back.

    This place has all the potential to be just as chic and popular as any midtown ATL eatery. The food was great (including several gluten-free options that they've taken care to make taste very good-no kidding). The service was excellent as well- we got dissertation level knowledge from our waiter. They've invested in the good decor- tiered lighting, wall and ceiling coverings, and tables and booths don't feel at all cheap. But this place doesn't quite know who they are yet, or so it seems. And I'm guessing it's the reason they can't get the last star on several of these reviews. I love the band The Killers (I heard 3 of their songs while I was there) and a Bachman Turner Overdrive song too! But do these really mix with my butcher steak over gluten-free risoto my date's Vegetarian Lasagna? C'mon Zeal- commit. Just get a DJ to play pretentious lounge music on Fridays/Saturdays or put on some low-level electronica that no one understands. Get that wait staff in all one color. Most people want to feel cooler than we actually are, and we'll pay for the privilege. As it was, I felt greatly satisfied by the food, price and service but the ambiance confused me.

    Food was tasty & we were impressed. Premises clean. Price was a little on the steep side for a strip mall location with an empty dining room on a Friday night.

    So, there were several problems here. Restaurant was out of a couple of menu options, and it took forever to get our food. 45 minutes for the lunch to arrive. Then we ordered dessert, thinking surely it must be ready. Nope, another 15 minutes. The server, who was really nice, said the dessert hadn't been "prepped" yet. If you're going to put the desserts on the lunch menu, why don't you have them "prepped" by 1:30pm? The restaurant was fairly empty, so there was no obvious reason for these delays. Also, we used a couple of gift cards to pay and paid the remaining balance with a credit card, and the restaurant charged a tip on top of the tip we gave (which was already 20%, as we didn't want to punish the nice server for the slow process). The food we received was good (except the chocolate lava cake, which was stale) but this was a business lunch and it kept our party out of the office for nearly two hours from start to finish. Therefore, I wouldn't choose Zeal again for this type of meal.

    Service was a little slow, but the food was really good. Why weren’t more people eating there last night?
