My friend requested a glass of rose, and I got a glass of champagne. I enjoyed dry, fresh, and crisp champagne. It was incredible. My friend couldn't stop gushing about the rose, which she liked. We ate a tuna tartar together. The flavor was superb and it was really fresh. Lovely bar and whole decoration.

Can’t say enough good things about Zola! We came in for dinner and everything for the cocktails to the service was top notch. We got the oysters (wow, so good) goat cheese tartine and the 10oz steak frites. All incredible. The staff was super nice and attentive as well. Can’t wait to go back!

Absolutely loved our dinner here! Really helpful servers and great atmosphere. They also surprisingly had decent vegetarian options and everything we tried was delicious. Highly recommend the goat cheese mousse and the gnocchi. The cocktails, chickpea panisse ,and the grilled bread were good too. We will definitely be back.

Had an absolutely wonderful time celebrating my friend’s birthday here the other day. We came by at 9 and the 7 of us were seated very quickly. The food was excellent and the service was even better. The staff were super friendly, congratulatory, and accommodating. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience. The restaurant & bar itself was also very beautiful! The restaurant and bar were kind of separated into two rooms.

We LOVED our meal here! Everything was delicious, especially the mushroom crepe - the first bite was “wow”-inducing. We sat at the bar, and the bartender Alex was very cool and made some of the best looking cocktails I’ve seen. Definitely pricey though.

I enjoyed the music and vibes. We came for a late dinner, but I could see how the space might seem dark during daytime hours. It felt like a scene in there, which I didn’t really know existed in Palo Alto. We will be back!
