What People Are Saying About Zelo

In Short
Vaulted ceilings soar overhead, while stylishly dressed diners occupy intimate banquettes. The decor is almost theatrical--dark, sumptuous fabrics, murky lighting, gold accents. The elegant bar area, just past the dining room, stays busy from cocktail hour well into the wee hours. The Italian-influenced menu features bruschetta, sesame-crusted walley and lovely presentations of olives, cheeses and meats. The crowd is almost uniformly young, hip and good-looking, punctuated by the occasional gaggle of tourists wandering in off Nicollet Mall.

Went to Zelo for our anniversary, every moment was perfect...got sat in a beautiful booth (without having to ask) Wait staff (Jeff) was attentive and friendly. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is in search of a delightful evening. p.s. order the pesto sea bass, it is amazing!

Even with a reservation, we waited 15 minutes to be seated. The food was average, but you're definitely paying for the atmosphere. Service is very good. It's a very nice-looking place, especially the bar area. On weekends, the bar is so busy it's very hard to get through to the restrooms. I'd go back, but only if I had plenty of time to wait.

Food average, wine average. Waiter snooty! Wine list does not carry cocktail list. Expensive for the overall value!
