We love ZB, but a little criticism can be helpful. The food, generally, is excellent, the wait staff are attentive. BUT, it is exceptionally noisy, even when half full. It’s difficult to have a conversation at times, and the noise level diminishes the ambience. An investment in sound dampening would go a long way. Otherwise, 5 stars.

I had the best experience dining in here today. Not only was the view amazing, but we had the most well loved service and cocktails. The food was so well cooked and the proportions were too much to handle, we had take the left overs home. 10/10 recommend this place! Give it a shot you won’t be disappointed.
