                                                          We enjoyed a wonderful lunch to celebrate a reunion with my sister and daughter. The waiter Dave was so attentive and kind, explaining all options including things not on the menu. The renovated space was gorgeous, the room dressed in soft pinks with marble islands and arty lighting. The food was presented with imagination and the combinations on the plate were so flavorful. We ordered grilled cheese with crab on a brioche, served with a raspberry sauce, all served on a pedestal, as well as a tuna tartar starter that was large enough for a main. Other options on the menu looked great, although some of them came with a hefty price tag. But if you are ordering lobster, foie gras, truffles and caviar, you expect to pay more. We recommend Zoe's highly, especially if you want to mark an occasion.

                                                          I've been going to Zoe's for business lunch or dinner for about 5 years. Recently the portions have been getting smaller & more fancy, the prices higher. I ordered Pork Belly, my friend had the Seared Tuna. They arrived on nicely dressed dinner plates, but no veg, no carbohydrates. The food was good, but insufficient. We ordered a side of fries and agreed we won't be going back.

                                                          We loved our High Tea at Zoey’s. The atmosphere, the food and the service were top notch. Shout out to the excellent Garrick who made the whole experience even better. We were celebrating 2 birthdays and were treated to a special treat on the house - unexpected and lovely.

Malheureusement, nous sommes allés une journée pluvieuse et froide et la température à l'intérieur était plutôt froide. C'est difficile de chauffer une salle de la taille de Zoe's!

                                                          Zoe’s is iconic. Great job on the renovation and the lounge. Who doesn’t want to eat and drink at the Castle?? Drinks are actually reasonably priced. Service is friendly. I had the grilled cheese and it was ok. The fries used to be amazing here but now they are meh. They just re-opened today so I have not tried much yet. Definitely go and try it out!
