A great spot of elevated Mediterranean inspired dishes Started with the lamb chops. And I ended up have the Pomme Frites. Both were excellent. Service was cheerful and they were very attentive. Live music was loud but the singer was excellent.

Food was very tasty, loved the Brussels sprouts. I was a bit disappointed in the calamari- I did not read the description right and instead of fried calamari I received something cooked in a garlic broth. It was tasty, just not what I hoped for. Their mezza platter was devoured by all at our table. I will return

Service started out well. But we never received our food. We saw people come and go and eat before us. We just never received our food. When it finally came it was cold. Clearly forgotten. My father had to ask them to reheat his eggs. There was no apology or can we remake you fresh food. They just put it in a microwave. Our waitress never apologized and it was simply rude. Thumbs down on service. Also the young man who took my dad’s cold eggs and literally stuck it in a microwave so now his poached eggs were over cooked. Not impressed at all .

I’ve been going to Zov’s since they opened with my mom for many years. Haven’t been to dinner for a long time so my wife and I gave it a whirl and enjoyed it a lot. We didn’t like our table back in the corner of the restaurant but that was our fault for not asking to move. Food was great tasting and we enjoyed it. There was a big gap in time between appetizers and our main course but worth the wait. Salmon was excellent and we will be back soon.

This is a great place to meet friends or colleagues to share a meal. Liked the openess of the restaurant. Food and service were great. Our group ordered the fried egg plant for appetizer. Entrees we ordered were pistachio seabass, the salmon, steak frites and angel hair pasta with chicken. Generous portions for the price. Entrees took a little longer to arrive. It was a busy Friday night. There was a singer to entertain people during dinner, and she was good, but it made it even more noisy in a packed restaurant to carry on a conversation. There are 2 rooms for private parties or meetings. Definitely, a recommendation if you want privacy and reduce noise level. I have never had a bad experience.

Lunch choices were excellent - two-way kabob, chicken paillard and chop chop salad. Veggies so fresh and meat very tender.

The service was really fast and he kept the drink refills coming over all a very good experience.
