My partner and I had a perfect date/anniversary night. From the warm welcoming with a sparkling, to the end with a beautiful presentation of fantastic desserts! We enjoyed the ambiance, the service, and of course the impecable food! It's a shame we are not locals otherwise we would become regulars.

Had a lot on the menu. The hummus and pickled veggies platter was yummy. The cocktail I had was not good- kinda fruit punch like and served in a tiki glass which all was not a vibe or enjoyable.

We were talked into the duck dish. It was  pallet assaulting heavy in every bite. Couldn't escape the overwhelming flavor of it. Granted- not a huge fan of duck but this was cured meat and had interesting flare otherwise.

Had waited 3 years to get in this place. Good experience, but sadly not a top 10 restaurant in the city in my opinion.

Celebrating my birthday here, my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Zahav.
For $85 per person, we got plenty of food, and everything from the appetizers to dessert was delicious. The service was excellent, and our server was friendly and helpful.
It’s definitely worth trying, even though it’s hard to get a reservation

Great gastronomical experience. Ever since I knew of Zahav through “Somebody feed Phil” I’ve wanted to go there.
It was everything I had expected and more!! Taste buds were so active that night. We brought our niece who’s become a connoisseur of good food. She loved her Christmas gift of a meal at Zahav.
Recommended it to all foodies out there!

Good: The service is amazing, waiters are warm and friendly and attend well to your needs. The food was good, we like the first course of hummus and pita with  a variety of side dishes. The appetizers were also good, except for the cabbage and peanuts, it was okayish. Main course we tried swordfish , lamb and chicken and I will say chicken was the best. In desserts we tried all 3 options and liked the sorbet and chocolate cake in that order the most. Finally the ambience was good too for a fine dine.

Bad: Not easy to find a parking spot, will have to drive around a bit to find a good spot. The prices are also on the higher side with a 20% tip pre-included in the bill. For a reference a dinner for 4 with 4 non alcoholic beverages costed us 480 dollars.

Suggestion for a better experience:  try to book a table for early evenings like 6pm, and take your time to relax and eat. Also don't fill yourself up in the first course , ask for a box, pack the extra and move to the second course. Else you will be full by the time you come to main course.
