Zax Restaurant & Bar

Decent meal and service, with a wide range of beer. Group of 7. Loved the tuna. Only disappointment was a mandatory 20% gratuity pre-printed on the check. Isn’t the whole point that a gratuity is meant to be discretionary to reward great service?

The place is a little beat up but seems to be a local favorite. For some reason there was tape holding the door lock open. Where it counts the beer was cold and there was a good selection of draft beers. I ordered the mussels as an appetizer along with the empanadas. The muscles came out with a basket of bread. I was not sure if the bread was supposed to be super crispy and crunchy and dry as toast points or was just stale. Thankfully the bread worked out well because I could soak it in the juice of the mussels. The empanadas were nice along with the green dipping sauce on the plate. I wanted more.

Arrived for dinner at ~5:30 on a Saturday. Quickly sat at a table with no wait time. Service was good, and food was delicious. On Wednesdays, they have $3.50 craft beers 🍻

Great place, just across the river from down town. Make the effort to walk across the bridge to visit. Everything we ordered was great as was the service!

A Monday tradition for us with an all evening happy hour that includes half off on some of their bottled wine.

Saw a travelzoo brunch special and decided to try this place out. We were very disappointed. First tried out the "cajun" eggs, but was not cajun at all. Very bland and powdery, hardly any seasoning in it period. My bf, had the poached egg and it tasted the same. We sent it back thinking maybe it was just the eggs, and ordered different food, but still very bland. Not sure if they were just having an off day, but we do brunch a lot, and this place was by far our least favorite. The only brought side was that the service was great. Our server didn't seem irritated at all with us sending both original orders back and was very apologetic about the bad tasting food. Maybe we should've just had the pizza. I definitely can't recommend the brunch though.

Great, delicious food. We had the Crab Louie and Blue Burger and both were excellent. Also, ordered the grilled shrimp(2) for starters and it was fabulous. Definitely we will be going back to try the dinner menu. Staff was very nice and attentive. You really need to try this place. You'll love it.

Nice unobtrusive place. More than u expect from a place apparently serving hotel guests. Food is well prepared and served, by the glass wines are nice (we liked one so much we bought it for home at Total Wine). If u like medium thick, softer crust pizza, this could be your go to. The Margarita and the Spinach and Mushroom were seasoned to perfection for our tastes. Would have liked crispier crust though.
