    No mocktail menu or ingredients to make one; although they cobbled something together. It was ok, but it didn't taste like a rhubarb mojita. The Ceasar salad with chicken tasted good. My friend has the Italian Chopped salad and declared it delicious. There was bread left over, but the server didn't offer to box it up.She seemed offended when I asked her to box the remainder of my salad. The atmosphere was hard to judge because there were less than 20 people in the restaurant. I would go again when it is busier, like the dinner hour.

    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.

    The Beef Short-rib Grilled Cheese was amazing!! It was a special for the day but is worthy to be on the full time menu. Soooo good! The cup of Tomato soup that came with it was the perfect pairing.
