We had a wonderful experience. My daughter was home for Spring Break and wanted to try some new restaurants. We had received good feedback regarding Zenola and made reservations. The staff was very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Definitely order a sampling of the Mezzes to try. Many of us ordered based on our server’s recommendations and were so pleased that we did! It was delicious! Next time we’ll save room for dessert!

My first time at Zenola and it far exceeded expectations. We ordered a table full of Mezze, never making it to the main courses. The preparations were all far beyond standard, with creative twists applied to both the ingredients and the presentation. We ordered octopus, eggplant, lamb liver, and several others but the best by far was the seafood lasagna. I’ll be going back soon for sure.

Delicious. Again. My friend had the quail and let me try it. Excellent. I had the roast chicken — my favorite part was actually the couscous with morel mushrooms. The apple creme brûlée was delightful as well.

A server called in sick so they were short staffed. Service was slow and inattentive as a result.

My husband and I really like this place. Although the service was slower than usual on Valentines Day, the food is consistently delicious, the staff is friendly and the ambiance is relaxed and cool. This is becoming one of our go-to places for a weekend dinner out.

Generally the food tasted good, but the portions were small for the money, and the wait to get food was very long. Our server was lovely, but it took 40 minutes to get our starters and we barely got our entrees before we had to leave to catch our show, we had given ourselves 1.5 hours and ended up taking almost 2. We didn't have time for dessert. We got in before the dinner rush, so thought it would have gone a bit quicker. If you have plenty of time, and don't mind smaller portions, definitely check it out!
