    We had the best experience at Zona78. Everything was great! Our server was Miles and he took great care of us. Our food was prepared perfectly. It was great to see Paul as well. Zona 78 is one of our favorite places.

    We are so sad to hear about Zona changing concepts. Our family has gone there for many years. My grandparents who passed away this year just loved Zona. It will be truly missed.

    Caitlin is our regular server and is superb! Timely, courteous, friendly but not intrusive. Food is great and not overpriced. When crowded, place gets a bit noisy (hard surfaces with just a few upholstered booths to absorb sound).

    Service and food was good . Cocktails were overly expensive. $13.50 for a 5oz grapefruit mule. The bread and jam was ordered and they ran out of jam and still charge same price. I asked waiter since no jam will the price be the same. I will work something out . The bill came with no changes. They charged $6.00 for 6 thin slices of bread with butter . Waiter said my manager will reduce the price even though the jam was not received. It’s principal before the reduction offer ask management before commenting. Maybe after management reads this review their thought process might change

    Magnificent pizzas and beet salads. The kids loved their meals. Monday is 1/2 day for wine, so the four adults drank almost two bottles. Bravo to Paul and the staff.
