    We had a reservation and arrived about 10 minutes early. The person at the front desk checked us in, but then forgot about us.

    We were hosting a small family gathering pre-Christmas show. Zelo was the perfect ‘appetizer’! It’s our favorite Minneapolis restaurant and never fails to impress. Food is delicious, ambience perfect and a special thank you to our server Erica who was the perfect mix of attentive without being intrusive.

    We were shown to a table that was too close to the window for our liking and were immediately given a different one. One of our favorite waiters greeted us and our assigned waiter graciously allowed him to be our waiter. He let us get settled and then took our beverage and appetizer orders. They were excellent as always. He paced his service to our desires. We both ordered the scallop special. It was perfect. Perfectly seared and the roasted vegetables and purees were a wonderful accompaniment. The bread was crusty and warm. We were also able to greet other favorite servers and felt totally welcomed.

    Hello, Thank you, Troy, for being such a great waitress/server. Food was delicious and everyone had a great time and great entertainment. The atmosphere was great, and noise was not a problem at all. We will be returning back soon. Thank you again! TRIO Starting Point - Minneapolis College
