    The first time we went to Zoko was soon after they opened and we loved it. The service was great and the small plates were timed perfectly in bringing food out. It made for a lovely evening. This time, we felt it wasn’t as well explained and not timed as well. But it has become much more busy. The food is tasty. Some are very small bites and others come with much more. We finally ordered a couple of large plates to share as well, after 9-10 small plates

    We were seated right away which was nice. The restaurant was half full, food came out quick and the noise was not bad, we were able to have a conversation, which was great. Our waitress was nice however it took forever for our cocktails to arrive. I had two drinks and so did my wife, both times we had to ask about the drinks, the waitress was nice and apologized and said the bar was running behind. The food, was so so. The tortilla was pretty much tasteless. After going to other Tapas restaurants and trying Zokoe, unfortunately we will not be back which is upsetting because we were really excited about it.

    It was great! I was expecting a now traditional band style live music but instead it was a trendy jazz smooth love music and I absolutely loved it! The food was amazing! The pintxos with the crispy sage leaf, to die for!

    Having eaten in the Basque Country in Spain, I can say, “Hallelujah!” Kind of a pity they don’t grill fish outdoors like they do in Getaria—-maybe in summer? Have not yet had the 22 oz. chuletón ( there it’s the tomahawk steak of a retired dairy cow, and the best beef ever) but I am confident theirs will be good. My husband says, “Why eat anywhere else in Grand Rapids?”

    First time. Skeptical of seating so close but we made fun talk with both couples on either side of us and the other two couples also connected and we had 3-way conversations.

    We recently moved to GR and have been working through a list of recommendations. Last evening's choice, Zoko 822, earned instant status among our favorites! Great food, friendly and helpful service, unpretentious atmosphere; it's really the total package. Complements to the chef and team!!!
