Reviews for Zola Bistro in Ann Arbor, MI
Nice place service was good food was as well. Had a nice smoothy and breakfast.
I ordered a crabcake Benedict...poached egg was like a hard boiled egg...no hollandaise sauce. Crabcake was good but everything... was dry. Told waitress and she didn't even offer me a new egg. How can you be a brunch place and not know how to cook a poachedegg. Not worth the money at all! Read more
Always great service and delicious food! Coffee selection is fantastic. My go to brunch spot!
Update: After two bad experiences. Decided Not going here anymore. Very bad service. Zero courteous, rolling eyes. Have to ask... everything five times.. won't check on you.. have to flag other waiters to get help. One just said I will let your server know,but never did . Not sure if the issue is with the management keeping the employees unhappy.. or the employees itself. Verybad.. food is secondary.. for a "premium" $$$ restaurant. This is really bad. ——— Old review Much Better than the cafeZola! Amazing breakfast, unique selection, inviting ambience but subpar service (probably she was having a bad day). Came herefor a breakfast with my mom for a special occasion. Was greeted well and sat in near the window. The trendy floor to theceiling bar and the wall decor was eye catching. So we ordered Cafe mocha - Nice (usual Taste) but very cold. Shakshuka - Atomato and egg based pot. A dish to just drive for.. Amazing, flavorful, tasty, filling. got it with fully cooked eggs. Servedwith a toast and butter. Vegetable latkes - simple and unique.. sweet potato passed patties.. slight crisp to the outside butsoft inside. Served with salmon or cinnamon apples. I got the apples.. super light. not filling.. Huevos rancheros- Awesome,flavorful.... wish we had little more ????. So,, the service.. the greater was nice. The girl who was serving us. Literallyfrowned when we called her back and requested/changed no whip cream on the coffee. As she was walking away after we placed theorder.. was very uncomfortable asking her anything after.. They have plenty of parking right out.. free. if you driving fromthe east, it’s not very prominent, enter the complex when you see lululemon.. it’s tucked back in.. Read more
Great Atmosphere!!!! Not too crowded and we got served right away!! Kinda pricey though.... $70 for a couple of drinks and... some fancy fries! Read more
This spot had so many versatile options from different cuisines that it was difficult to make a decision! The challah bread... French toast was great. However, the Frittata Zola was mediocre since the croutons were a bit soft and the sweet potatoes werehard and unseasoned (I’d recommend hot sauce on it to spice it up). I would try this spot again for lunch. Read more
I came to Zola's specifically on this visit to "formally" review it, as I've been there 3-4 times previously and wanted to give... it a fair chance. Unfortunately this visit did not help. A solid star just for the outstanding sweet potato fries and housemadeketchup, as they are delicious and also a reason I came back. I felt bad for the server who was obviously overtasked but at theend of the day, when I am paying almost $20 for crab cakes, I'd like them to come with the paprika aioili and citrus chutney asdescribed (or, you know, anything aside from limp, undressed greens). They came dry without either and when asked, I got broughtback a container of tartar sauce. To their credit they at least took those off the bill. At the end of the day, every lunch I'vebeen here visiting solo has taken easily 1.5-2 hours because the service is so slow. Sadly this will definitely be my lastvisit. Read more
Of the three times I have gone to Zola, my experience has been great, good, and bad. Their cauliflower tempura was one of my... favorites along with salmon croquettes. However, last time the tempura wasn't fully cooked it seems as the batter coating wastoo thick; plus the service was very slow. The ambiance is good, and prices are on the higher side. I think the third time mayhave been my last time here unless I run out of other places to try. Read more
