What People Are Saying About Zelo
The Editor

Citysearch
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. – –

Im very disappointed in Zelo
by fischerspooner at Citysearch
I had an absolutely aweful server, and this is coming from someone who used to be a server. I am very understanding of mistakes and forgetfulness, but this server was rude, neglectful (even though she only had 1 other table!), and actually made me and my guest feel like just getting up and leaving. We ended up leaving cash and bolting in silence. Leaving her a VERY SMALL TIP.
- Pros: multiple exits in main dining room
- Cons: SUPER BAD SERVICE

Worst service ever
by xochi74 at Citysearch
The hostess had attitude.
The server was drunk, and rude.
The food was small on portion.
We started with an appetizer, and the salad was rotten--I mean black and slimy leaves drenched in dressing.
We got a hold of the manager, who apologized, and offered to replace the salad.
We refused.
If they treat their greens so badly on a Friday night why eat there.
We left and ate at the Dakota instead where fresh food is de rigeur on a weekend night.
It is the second time we have tried to eat there and had such rudeness foisted upon us.
That and a drunk waiter.
Gross!
- Pros: bland food
- Cons: service

Mixed Endorsement
by Humbledbyexperience at Citysearch
I had a reservation for a small group and really wanted a special place. The ambience was good. Too noisy until some of the people left. The food was good, but the waiter was incredibly aloof. Someone else used the word "snooty"in another review, so I wonder is this is the same person. If you want a place to converse, son't go during peak times. Make sure youask for the non-snooty waiter!
- Pros: Food was very good
- Cons: Waiter acted like he was doing us a favor to wait on us
