Walking down Glenwood, biding time till Monday Night Football, decided to check this place out. Menu looked good, winelist looked better. Staff was very friendly and quick.
I'm not a little guy, but I was very happy with the portion sizes. Had the special, an absolutely delicious Rabbit Ragu with Mushrooms and Sweet Potato Gnocci. Delicately seasoned and well balanced, savory and sweet. It was definitely the whole package.
I encourage you to come on Monday Nights (Half Dollar Bottle 'O Wine), try the special, and chat with the staff about what's excellent, what's in season, and what was sourced from the owner's own farm. I'll be the guy in the brown leather jacket, because I am definitely becoming a regular!
Pros: Friendly Staff, Excellent Wine List
Cons: Very tempted to stay all night!

I can't believe some of the reviews for this place! To be quite honest I am pretty outraged.
My husband and I have eaten here several times and not once have been we been disappointed. The wait staff is very friendly, one young gentleman even told us about visiting the local farms where some of the restaurant's ingredients are grown.
The portions are of good size unless (as some reviewers must want!) you are expecting your food to come with a supersize option. They are filling but not to the point where you are going to need wheelbarrow when you leave. This restaurant is not advertised as a buffet.
We are both vegetarian so I cannot comment on their meat selection, but as I have already said I have never felt cheated or disappointed by the food we were served. The combination of flavors used is surprising and delicious. The gnocchi is by far my favorite. Pair it with their risotto and wow, delicious!
A great environment to have a romantic dinner or small gathering.
Pros: Food is amazing, quick service, friendly staff.

Zely & Ritz offers delicious food using local and organic produce and meats. Atmosphere and service is nice, too. Price is reasonable for what you get.

Would you like a little food with your salt? Brilliant ideas for dishes all overly salted. They replaced our original entrees and brought out more dishes equally over-salted. To apologize they sent us three ok desserts. They owner/chef was sincere in trying to please us. Horrible service. Waited 30 minutes for 2 inch long slices of bread.
Pros: Free martini was straight gin
Cons: Too salty and pricy

We stumbled upon this place by accidend on Saturday night and boy were we glad. Tiny and quiet with a sleek but quirky decor.
The garlic mashed potatoes were the best I ever had. Very rich and flavorfull without being overpowering. The lamb stew was also wonderful, although just a tad oversalted. The pickled vegatables were a nice surprise. The scallop ceviche, served in a martini glass, was a creative mix (radishes in ceviche?) but somehow worked. Rib eye steak with a lemony sauce so good we wanted to lick the plate.
The food has nothing to do with Tapas other than somewhat small portions. No, really guys. Tapas, to me, is its own genre of food. I like Tapas. I liked Zely & Ritz. But it does not serve anything I would call Tapas. If I had come in liiking for Tapas, I would have been dissapointed.
The wine list seemed a little heavey on the Pinot Noire but has tons of fun stuff to choose from. I simply missed the dessert wines which are on my list for the next visit.
Desserts were just stunning. The date creme brule also gets a best ever rating. The mint sauce on the mousse was so light and flavourful, I wish there had been more sauce and less mousse. Pecan tarts were a revalation.
They have a Prix Fixe Menu for two which is a great deal but only if you want what's on it.
The wait staff was extremely attentive and fun. This was a special occasion dinner, but we'll definitely be back just 'cause.
Pros: Great Food Great Service
Cons: Expensive

Overpriced and small portions! The only saving grace is the special on wines on Monday night. The wait staff was rude and insulting. I would not recommend the unusual dishes or the restaurant to anyone. We did not like our meals and paid over $100 for our dinner. Too bad.
Cons: expensive, small portions, strange food, rude staff

THIS IS NOT A TAPAS BAR!! There are no tapas on the menu and I don't think our server even knew what a "tapa" was. Services was marginal, slow, uninformed and forgetful. Food was not even Spanish and was uninspiring. We went to this restaurant for a special birthday dinner with a small group and called ahead to have a special dessert. No one at the restaurant remembered and no effort was made to make the dinner special, even after our server was told we were out for a special birthday dinner. Would not go back. The owners/chef needs to learn what tapas are and stop misrepresenting their restaurant.
Pros: None
Cons: Food, Service, Parking

While the food here is a bit pricey, the quality is usually worth the price. The food here is almost always fantastic (to the point of being perfect). On the rare occasion that something falls a little short, the customer service provided by the Agasis is unparalleled. I've never experienced better. If they offer the Rosemary Pine-nut Tart as the desert special, GET IT! It's the best thing I've ever eaten (and I'm typically a chocoholic).
Pros: Beautiful food, amazing customer service, good for special occasions

I'm not sure what Bauer 72 is talking about!!!!! They need to speak up and move tables if they were not happy with their seating arrangements at Z & R !!!
My husband and I have been there at least a dozen times....each time is better than the last! Yes, it is tapas style, but each portion is really enough for 2 to share! We always leave stuffed to the max! And the service is always so friendly and excellent! We ask our server for tips on the best choices and are never disappointed. We have tried almost everything on the menu!!! Even things I didn't think I would like are superb!!!! Although, once we ordered a new soup, but when we were served and realized it was a cold soup, our server simply took it off our bill !!! (There was nothing wrong with the soup, we just didn't read the menu to realize it was cold soup) The extensive wine list also compliments the menu and service perfectly!
I have never found fault in any meal at Zely & Ritz; my husband and I travel frequently to many fine restaurants throughout the US. We always look forward to our trip to Zely and Ritz . Chef Sarig and his wife Nancy have carved a special niche within the tapas restaurant business. Plus, the food is local and organic! Don't forget to save room for dessert, you won't be disappointed!
Pros: tapas style plates, extensive wine list, romantic, fabulous staff, price
Cons: only wish it was closer to our home so we could eat there every day!

I have never written a restaurant review before but I am compelled to do so after my horrible experience at Z & R last weekend. There were 6 of us who went to celebrate my best friend?s birthday. We were seated at the end of a very large table that had two other parties eating at it as well. This threw us off a bit because we were not told about the seating? but that ended up being the least of our troubles. We waited for 25 minutes on someone to even acknowledge our presence. Once we ordered our drinks it took another 20 minutes to get them? 45 minutes to get our first drinks!!! The waitress was very rude and acted as if the restaurant was packed. It looked like there were at least 4 waitresses working but the place is so small? so our waitress had us and 2 other small parties. At one point she broke a wine glass and looked mad at us as if it was our fault. The menu is very disappointing and needs some help. The portions are tiny and while some of my friends enjoyed parts of their dinner, mine was all wrong. I think the whole organic tapas idea is great but Z & R has completely missed the note. I don?t have any idea how they are still in business? it?s mind-blowing. The prices are too high as well. I don?t mind spending money on a good dinner, especially with it being organic, but this was definitely not worth it considering every time I looked to the kitchen they were putting food in and out of the microwave. I recommend Z & R if you like to pay too much for less than mediocre food with small portions and enjoy 3 hour dinners in small, hot (temperature) restaurants.
Pros: Wine
Cons: Poor environment, bad service, overpriced, disappointing food
