    Mediterranean chicken and Mediterranean salmon dinners were excellent. The food is really outstanding, as well as service. I had been treated to lunch at Zov’s the previous day and loved it so much that I returned the next day to treat my sister to dinner. She loved it too!

    From being greeted when we entered to the service at the table the staff was really on their game and provided us a very nice night out. They were fairly busy but it did not impact the timelines that our drink order and food order came out.

    Excellent service; excellent food. Our waitress had the timing just right. We both had eggplant fries.......a surprisingly tasty start .......and then Angle Hair Spaghetti with chicken. Light but satisfying. They always do a splendid job of the Angle Hair. Great flavor combinations.

    Service: superb, by Sritam P. He made our evening. Food: reliably delicious. Had Lamb Chop appetizer, Mezze Platter (still so good), Pistacio Sea Bass, Angel Hair Pasta with Shrimp, Mimosas. Ambiance: our party (3 adults) appreciated the lovely table in the beautiful open & airy section of the restaurant however a family of four with two rambunctious children were sat right next to us. A bit disruptive during the entire meal. Loved the courteousness/warmth/efficiency of our server, hosts, mgr and staff though.

    Hard to find the bartender to pay our bill when our table was ready. Server did not check back to see about more drinks and when asked if we wanted dessert, one person at the table said no and the server just put the bill on the table. Seabass was good. The medium rare beef kebab was good, the chicken kebabs were somewhat dry. Seating in the "music room (live music)" was very loud. A table in the fireplace room would have been much nicer.

    We go to Zov's all the time and had most of the items on the menu and the daily specials. Everything we've tried there is excellent. We've never had a bad meal, and the service is always excellent. The interior is very inviting, and people love to come and have fun there. Because everyone is having a great time, the noise level is moderate. We love going on Friday nights and catch the music with dinner. Always great performers. We love Zov's. It's where we go!
