The ricotta gnudi with tomato marmalade is to fried mozzarella what Metropolitan Grill's kobe burger is to the hamburger. Run, don't walk. More

We had some sort of salad concoction and we still aren't sure what some of the ingredients were. Otherwise it was pretty good food and service. We like the staff and the drinks.

I'd heard great things about this place so I was excited to try it for dinner. We shared the beet & wild mushroom salad and were disappointed from the start. This was extremely salty and the flavors did not taste good together. Couldn't even finish it, and we were splitting it, and the meal just went downhill from there. I ordered the fried chicken which again was WAY too salty, it just didn't have good flavor and was basically just a chicken breast fried in a pan that I could have made myself. My mom had the sea scallops and those were decent but the same saltiness overpowered her meal as well. The wine list was limited and they didn't even have a pinot grigio - what classy restaurant doesn't carry pinot grigio? We tried to cap off the meal on a good note with the $6 homemade peach sorbet - even this wasn't good. It was chunky and tasteless and we didn't even finish the small two scoops. Unfortunately this meal came to over $100 and the whole thing was a huge disappointment.

I've been to Zoe three times and every time I am blown away by their exceptional service. From the waitstaff to the bartenders to the hosts, they are all friendly, knowledgeable (but never snooty), and attentive. And then there's the food...oh how I long for the delicious food from Zoe. I love the ricotta gnudi as an appetizer and every entree I've tried has been to die for. Each dish is inventive and the menu selection will please any taste. This is by far one of my favorite Seattle restaurants.
Pros: everything

I recently ate here with a group of women friends and found the whole experience average at best. The front desk host was cold, rude and unhelpful with chip on his shoulder and I was an imposition by asking if my party had already arrived. The service timing was off, which compromised our dining experience.
There are so many other great places, I would not go back here.

I was somewhat disappointed in the lack of hospitality shown last evening when I asked friends to join me for a cocktail and an appetizer. We were obviously taking up a "valuable" table, as the waiter and expo asked numerous times if we were finished with dishes and glasses still half full. After 3 or 4 times, we finally gulped down the rest and quickly paid our bill - obviously, the warmth was lacking. Although the food and wine were excellent, I would ask them to reconsider the word "hospitality".

My boyfriend and I stopped in recently on a Sunday evening for a bite and of course it was packed. They promptly offered us a couple of seats in the bar area overlooking the restaurant. It was great taking in the atmosphere from there, and really was much more romantic than a standard table. The seared foie gras could not be better...even compared to some of the best establishments in Manhattan. Service impeccable. We'll be back soon.

We went to Zoe on a Sunday night with another couple from San Fran and instead of getting a babysitter we brought along our 2-year old daughter, praying that 1) she would behave and 2) the staff was cool with kids. Well our dreams came true; daughter was brilliant but the waitstaff/maitre'd, were even more so. A huge thank you for making our daughter feel special and welcomed, versus "dealt with".
The food is a much bigger and better issue. We started out with the sweetbreads, rabbit, and grilled octopus. We are sweetbread fans and are loving their recent popularity in the US. Unfortunately, not everyone understands the nuances to cooking them. Cheff Scott's crew did a beautiful job; slightly crunchy on the outside while very tender on the inside. The pate was very tasty and moist and the octopus was grilled nicely. I had the halibut special for the main course and was cooked just as I requested. The english bean, pancetta, onion ragout was also VERY tasty. My husband had the braised lamb which was very well seasoned and delicious. One interesting item was the sauteed ramps (very similar to young green onions). What a unique flavor and a special treat. Apparently they are only available during very short periods of time during the spring.
I will most definitely come back to Zoe and highly recommend it.
Pros: excellent staff, wonderful food
Cons: parking

At last, a fine dining restaurant that offers impeccable service, mouthwatering cuisine and reasonable prices that won't leave you broke. It's best to dine before 6pm because you will find nearby street parking and then only pay till 6pm. The regular menu prices are reasonable that warrants repeat visits once the 25 for $25 deal expires the end of this month. You may want to make multiple reservations this month to take full advantage of Chef's Scott's wonderful cuisines at rock bottom prices. I paid extra for two generous slabs of oregon rabbit pate that was excellent. The ricotta gnudi is simply fantastic that makes you wish italian restaurants would replace their gnocchi with gnudi. The prime beef coulet is generously served with 4 perfectly cooked medium rare beef. A generous serving of spinach with pearl onions and bacon and creamy mashed potatoes accompanies the beef. The dessert, a creamy not too decadent but perfect milk chocolate potde creme with cherries and peppermint sauce and a dollop of whipped cream is wonderful. Service is impeccable that all neighboring restaurants should emulate. Generous pour of single serving wine, prompt removal of dishes, constant refillng of water, and an endless bread supply with a plate of EVOO and balsamic vinegar to slather in. Thank you Zoe and Chef Scott for presenting a wonderful menu for the price conscious diner who seeks perfect service and quality food.
Pros: Impeccable service, quality reasonably priced cuisine, the GNUDI...OMG!!!!
Cons: Nothing
