Andria served my date and I while we were celebrating her birthday. Her service was top shelf and one of the main reason we will be back. The food was amazing, every bite you wished would last forever. That atmosphere was perfect for any occasion. With just the right amount of lighting to showcase the beautiful stonework inside. We loved it and will be back again, hopefully sooner than later.

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.
