Zea’s

Zea's is usually disappointing. I feel like the quality isn't there anymore.

If you’ve never been and want some thing fun, then do Pamplona

If you want a quiet romantic experience do cafe v and start with drinks in the bar. It’s the coolest bar in town.

Fish dishes and the veal. The Veal Veiner Schnitzel is my favorite

Really? We went a few months back, and everything felt dated, from the atmosphere, to the service, to the food. It just wasn’t a great experience all around.

It is old school but I’ve never had a meal there that wasn’t great. Very reasonable wine prices too

I speak only about the food. The atmosphere and decor is very much blah.

Fish Aladdin!

No mention of Social?

Agree with:
Marcello’s
Pamplona
Mazen Grill

We’ve ended up at Imonelli a couple of times after an absence of several years. The food was great!

We went for the first time last year - was extremely underwhelmed.

Took my wife there for our senior prom in '95. It was dated back then. Food has never disappointed.

The food was good, but the rest of the experience was a turn off. IMO, I would choose Marcello’s over iMonelli every time, it also helps that Marcello’s is in my neighborhood, so I may be biased.

I’mo’s was epic back when the Italian chefs were cooking. Hands down it WAS the best food in town, circa 1983ish

Wife and I went to social when it first opened up. Ordered a Budweiser and Michelob ultra from the bar. I was told they do not serve Anhesure- Busch products as he is handing me the Michelob ultra. I said are you sure about that? I consider the food top tier bar food. Nothing special for sure

I haven’t been to CV in over twenty years, but I remember wanting to eat my weight in their crawfish benigets.

They have a great bourbon list, and make solid cocktails. Their flatbreads and some apps aren’t bad either, but I’ve never been impressed with their entrees.
