    This was a wonderful dining experience. This was a business luncheon. Our waiter was courteous and attentive. Very professional and representing the business well. He attended to our needs in a very subtle manner so we could continue the flow of our conversation. The maitre d' was a highlight. I never met the man, but he knew my name without me saying it and walked me to the table where my colleagues were seated. The food was excellent. All in all, a great experience!

    Zelo is a very special place for our family celebrations. Dinner is always fresh, with new specials and prepared in an outstanding manner. Shaya, Benjamin and the entire staff are so professional, friendly and focused on the details. Zelo is our first and only choice when attending the Minnesota Orchestra with our family.
