    they did a great job with decor, inside and out. We felt very welcomed. A nice selection of options on the menu. I would return but it won't be first on my list. The "gong" at the door was fun, a nice touch to the decor but incredibly annoying while dining each time people hit it, it is very loud, it interrupted conversation in the bar area of tables. When we first arrived there were at least 5 hostess', maybe more. Very welcoming and nice, but far too many, they were tripping over each other. Worse then that, the way they were dressed, so over done on makeup that they looked like street walkers, which set the tone to make us wonder what kind of place this was. Heavily made up, low cut dresses, certainly not the vibe you want to deliver to appeal to the masses. It isn't a night club. Lastly, the owner or perhaps manager, very nice, help with menu tips, interrupted our girlfriend' night out 3 times, talking at length, by the third time we did not appreciate this.

    Food was OK but not very authentic Asian. Service was very good very friendly & attentive hostess just a shame that the food did not live up to the service standard.

    While the place was nearly empty, it seemed like it took forever to get our food. My chicken Pad Thai was too spicy for me to eat so I ended up taking most of it in a to-go box to give to someone else. Lastly, my server was running around from table to table and we never were asked about how our food was, if we needed a refill on water, or anything that I would expect from a restaurant with similar prices.

    Almost perfect .... the food is exceptional, ambience is comfortable, romantic and enticing... but, the service was ATROCIOUS. We sat for 40 mins before we were greeted and drink orders were taken, and again sat for 45 minutes waiting for the bill. I finally went to the hostess to ask for help. The restaurant was fairly empty. Disappointing, but completely fixable. Hire some motivated staff, and I would come back in a heartbeat.

    We had a late lunch on a Saturday. The restaurant looks great and we sat in a booth in the bar area. They have a piano in the area where you walk to the reception desk. We were seated close to the piano and it was playing ragtime music... that wasn't very zen for lunch. We are pad thai fans and unfortunately the noodles were one big clump... overcooked.

    For the main course I ordered the appetizer avocado and tuna poke. It was 3 halves of an avocado and a teaspoon of tuna poke in each well of the avocado for $16. When I asked the waiter if that would be enough for a light entree he said it would be. My husband ordered the same. Nothing like coming home after paying $60 and make yourself something to eat because you are hungry.

    The food at Zen Culinary was above average. I had the breast of duck and it was extremely tender. Presentation of food was very good. Although our server was pleasant he brought our check before we had even been served our desert which we ordered. Would suggest more training for their servers
