    We were promptly seated. We brought a guest who had never eaten at Zona. We were greeted by several young servers. Drink order was taken very quickly. Then, we ordered our favorite menu item - the bread and cheese board. Actually, the BEST CHARCUTERIE board ever!! We added Burria. My husband ordered a Caesar salad with chicken. It was fresh and a sizeable portion. If it weren't for our limited budget we would eat there much more frequently!!

    I loved the wide menu selections and the option for a pizza and salad for a reasonable price. Plus cool that they have house made fresh mozzarella. I wish the pizza had been tastier though. It was like the dough and sauce didn’t have enough salt or flavor. And no oil/fat whatsoever. So the pizza just felt cardboardy. It was not like a Neapolitan pizza crust but much stiffer. But of course you can add salt and they brought me olive oil I requested to dip crusts. The Caesar salad was great and had sun dried tomatoes that were yummy. Service was great. Noisy dining room though.

    Food below zona’s standards. Baby back ribs could not be cut in even with a steak knife.

    The service was amazing I requested extra alfredo sauce to take home for when I heated up my chicken alfredo and even though the kitchen was closed they opened it up just to make some more, then after I tragically dropped that tub they opened the kitchen up again and made me more amazing service
