We have dined here before and had always enjoyed our experience, but our last visit was truly special. After a long day we were craving comfort food and Zov’s truly delivered. This cozy neighborhood restaurant was perfect …. We felt cared for by our servers and the food was delicious. We had the lentil soup starter and we all enjoyed our entrees. The desserts were terrific as well. We have tried the butter cake in the past , which was yummy and memorable. We really enjoyed the flourless chocolate cake this time around. We are really looking forward to coming here again soon!

Here’s a great review based on your experience at Zov’s Bistro: My wife, our dog Cricket, and I had a fantastic Valentine’s Day dinner at Zov’s Bistro in Irvine. From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding—attentive, warm, and professional, making our special evening even more enjoyable. My wife ordered the Salmon Salad, which was beautifully prepared with fresh, perfectly cooked salmon over a vibrant mix of greens, bursting with flavor. I had the meatloaf, a comforting and hearty dish that was incredibly tender and rich, served with all the right accompaniments. Every bite felt like a warm, home-cooked meal elevated to fine dining. The atmosphere was inviting, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. Zov’s Bistro truly knows how to make guests feel welcome, and we’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend for anyone looking for delicious Mediterranean-inspired cuisine with top-notch service.

The service and food were over the top amazing. This was our first time there and starting from the salad to the martini to the dessert, we had an incredible Valentines Day dinner. We will most definitely be back. Thank you for a great date night for me and my fiance. In case you're wondering what we had it was as follows: Incredible dinner salad. I mean when the salad is this good you can only imagine what the food will be like. We then had an incredibly juicy lamb burger and meatloaf. Both were a wow experience. Then we topped everything off with the Ridiculous Sundae and yes it was ridiculously delicious. Put this place on your bucket list.
