    Delicious food. Accomodated a food sensitivity with care and were willing to substitute another side. The service was attentive and came with a smile. My water glass was always being filled. Very enjoyable dinner and time at Mollie Aspen.

    This was our first time at ZigZag and we loved it! We had reservations but decided to sit at the bar instead and were fine with our choice. Our bartender Edwin was friendly, attentive, and honest about what we should order. The food was delicious (we had a a variety of 6-7 dishes between the two of us?? And they were all great!), drinks were great, and we’ll definitely be back. Cheers!
