My husband and I came here on a Taco Tuesday and ordered the chicken tacos (hard shell) and really enjoyed them. We shared 4 orders (3 tacos per order $6). We also tried the chicken empanadas, (3 pieces $10) which were really good as well! We shared a pitcher of sangria (about 6 cups $25 incl tax). We arrived at 6:15pm and it was kinda empty, but we didn’t mind that. Even though it wasn’t packed, the vibe was still fun. Service was good. Our waitress Wendy spoke English well and the Spanish music did not bother me, it’s a Dominican dominated area, so what do you expect really (in regards to another review). We’ll definitely be coming more often since it’s very close to home for us.

It was good. The place wasn't full but is a good place to go with friends and have a conversation. The happy hour menu have something for every taste in terms of drinks and food. The appetizers are full size and it was tasty best part the price is moderate. The staff is attentive and friendly. Overall the place is good.

Love this place. The food it’s very good. The white sangria you will love it. My family and I always do our family birthdays our events here. Just call or walk in make your reservation tell them what you will like and how many people and they got it. If you love decoration like I do ask for Chris to decorate for you next event you will love it and thanks me later. So go for brunch or just a night of karaoke.. Ask for Zoe and tell her Stephanie send you go goo have fun enjoy guys 🥰🥰❤️❤️🙏

I do not even know where to begin but here we go first the waitress very rude she acted as if we were there for free second the food was horrible dry and the meat tasted old, fried calamari was not properly fried the bbq chicken wings were cold and tasted as if they were in the freezer for months we also ordered guacamole and chips all the chips came mixed with the guacamole . Third she was very stingy with the utensils she did not even bring us plates even asking her for a specific type of music was a problem giving us attitude for everything and to top it off we ordered 2 rounds of fireball shots and it was during happy hour so they were suppose to be 3-4 dollars each lies she charged them at regular price $9. Never going back waist of time and money (300++ and we left the food)oh and there were roaches!!!

Good service, my food was a tad bit too greasy (but it was to be fried so)🤷🏽‍♂️ my dad loved his meal looks like an eggplant lasagnia

the place is beautiful, had the time of my life for my birthday on October 2023; the hookah and the drinks were amazing + the DJ and the music. my friends and I danced all night!

If it was possible to give this establishment zero stars, I would. When I say that this restaurant has provided the worst dining experience I’ve ever had, you probably wouldn’t believe it. The fact that I waited an hour and ten minutes for APPETIZERS... appetizers. The server brought my party the pitcher we ordered and literally disappeared for over an hour. Unbelievable. We had to flag down a hookah guy to ask for our server. There was absolutely no empathy for the lack of service my party was given. I will never return to this place and I highly recommend anyone looking to have a good time with friends or family with quality service to never dine here. I will make sure everyone I know avoids this place. I hope the owner of this restaurant sees this review and makes some changes to the staff or at the very least the culture of this restaurant. It is very disappointing.

The place is beautiful, the management is great, the food it's really good, the drinks are great and the hookah which I'm not a fan is great. The music is always making you want to dance. It's more a restaurant but on weekends night it becomes a lounge. Their brunch is really good and they always have specials. Happy hours, taco Tuesdays, etc. I mostly like their brunch.

Zoe Restaurant bar , I been coming here for a while , this place is like a mixture of Italian and Caribbean food . I had the milojas de berenjena and is fire... I had the calamari as an entree and they were so big which reminds me how good they were by the way . Zoe is a cool place for drinks , they have good beer available and cocktails . I'm more basic I usually get a beer , but my girl likes to get fancy good looking drinks . Overall the prices are affordably and the taste is good as well .

Wowww!! It is almost heartbreaking when you go to a restaurant multiple times and your experience drastically changes! The waitress was not attentive AT ALL!! She had a friend that was dining there and got all of her attention... It was just issue on top of issue-- due to the lack in quality of service that was provided. We only got water the first time around and the waitress never refilled our cups. The drinks were strong!!! When the drinks came out, she did not even give up napkins. We had to wait until we got her attention (when the food was brought out) to request for napkins. The food did not taste like the prior times I have been here; the lettuce in our tacos had a distinctive taste-- the tacos tasted like Taco Bell tacos. Once the pitcher and drinks were done, she never came back to see if we wanted more. There was also water leaking inside the restaurant and it took a while for someone to clean it... I am not sure if the water was from outside (since it was pouring).

This was a truly disappointing visit. I read so many glowing reviews here on Yelp about Zoe that it piqued my interest. I'm going to keep this short. The service was abysmal, there was only 5 patrons in the place, that's counting my party of 3. However it still took the waitress 15 minutes to attend to our table. Our drinks came first and quickly. Sadly every drink was either watered down or flavorless. Next we ordered our food. Standard fare, no speciality items or dietary restrictions on our order. Somehow we had to wait quite a while until we were served. In spite of our food being ready. How would I know this?, because I saw our entrees on the "order out" area on the chefs window. Oh and as you would guest it, the food was not it. Now I know restaurants need to be given a bit of grace due to the pandemic, but c'mon Zoe. In short I will not be back.

Servicei s always on point. When this group is on staff...gauranteed enjoyment!! The food is amazing and the vibe is always on point.

Amazing location. Arrived around 5pm for happy hour on a Friday night to celebrate a friends birthday. Immediately seated. Drink orders were placed as well as food. All drinks were great and strong and were $5 (beer $3) and food was $10 each item. Both were brought out promptly. The food ordered was calamari (hot, well seasoned, and NOT chewy), empanadas (tasted fresh and sauce on the side...a ketchup/mayo with seasoning), buffalo wings (what's expected), and chicken fingers and fries (very good chicken fingers and nicely fried fries). Occasionally we had to find someone to order more drinks but it wasn't too bad. The music was good from the moment we were seated. Around 8pm they turned the lights on outside and a live DJ started playing. DJ Leslie was the absolute best!!! I definitely recommend. Just note. Gratuity was automatically added to our bill and we were only a group of 4 for an hour then 3 the rest of the time.

Great place to host events !! Amazing food and drinks !!good environment. Overall great restaurant/bar

My girls and I decided to meet up here for happy hour last night. The best decision I've made all week! First it was Taco Tuesday which consists of $1 Tacos & Margaritas. Yes you read that right.... margaritas are $1 on Tuesday. It was one of the best margaritas I've had to date. The tacos and fried calamari were also yummy. My waitress Damaris was a sweet heart. I will definitely be returning here.

Presentation was amazing, those potato wedges that come with the N.Y. steak are amazing . Our steak had a lot of fat but still delicious The surf and turf wasn't as amazing as I expected but the environment made up for it We went in early around 630pm so it was not as packed as it normally is . We had a very romantic dinner . I'm not a big fan of gratuity included but the service was fine . We paid a little over $175 for two drinks 4 shots and two full courses and desert . Would definitely return for appetizers and drinks .

Great atmosphere with a good drinks choice. Didn't eat but the food looked good. Wish we had more pubs like this in the UK.

Don't come here expecting to be able to have a convo with your dining partner. It's not too bad but I chuckled when I saw ppl on dates. Like there's no way you like that person but have them screaming over Spanish music all night... let's be considerate here. But that's not a problem at all for me. I mean my first time here I came with my sister and second time I took the hint and came alone. They have a good happy hour with really good drinks. The food is ok but don't come thinking it'll be the best. It's Washington Heights I can reassure you there's better around. Come here to have a good time. Get a hookah and splurge on their affordable happy hour menu. They put the happy in happy hour for sure. That's the reason I double backed and made a second appearance. You feel good here and sometimes that outweighs the mediocrity of the food. JUST SOMETIMES THOUGH.

Great new spot uptown ...will deff come again service and food was great and don't forget the drinks was deff a good time to be here as came here to see the fight and they accommodated me and they will do the same to you so deff stop by great place atmosphere is great and and the whole place is great

This place has one of the weirdest menus I've seen. I was so curious about almost everything on the menu that it took me a very long time to make a choice. I ended up going for the carbonara pasta which comes with shrimp on top of the ham and bacon. Very weird combination but doable; I would still have preferred a classic carbonara without the shrimp though! My friend ordered the seafood pasta and the kitchen was very flexible as they agreed to make it with a white creamy sauce rather than the tomato sauce that was listed on the menu. The staff was nice and very patient with us (our waitress had to approach us like 5 times before we made a decision... and she was still very nice!!!). The cocktails are cheaper than the wine and so I wasn't expecting a very good margarita but it was actually pretty good! Better than the standard "cheap" margarita. Overall it was a good experience with good (not great) food. I'm definitely going back to try the stuffed chicken (stuffed with everything that you can imagine!) and have another margarita.

The food here was good and the drinks were good but the wait for a table was a little ridiculous for me. We waited after being told 10 minutes which turned into one hour waiting for a table. Once we sat down we got our drinks right away and they were pretty decent but it took an hour for our food to come out. Food flavor of the salmon was amazing but by the time I receive my food I was not hungry anymore.

The food and atmosphere was great. I went to celebrate my cousin's 40th Birthday. We had a blast. The service and wait staff was amazing.

I went today on brunch time and I was sitting by the bar and Patricia was the bartender, wow She's amazing !! I loved her service! The mimosas and the mojitos that my sister And I got were perfect! Thank you so much Patricia! Zoe Restaurant is pretty, the music was on point and is super clean!

Let me start of by saying I've been to this place about 10 Times in the past 2 months!! Love the customer service there. They make sure you are well taken care of. The best part is they have great bartenders with a good happy hour menu! The food is amazing. If you're a shrimp lover then you would definitely love this place!!!

Zoe's staff is very friendly. Attentive and feels like community. It's spicy. It's chilled. Hookah is a must here.

Went to Zoe Restaurant & Lounge for Sunday brunch with my mom and it was just great! The service was great we had unlimite sangria for an hour and a half, appetizer and entree for $35! We decided on the pinchos with chicken, steak and peppers. It was absolutely delicious, very juicy & tender. As entree with got the steak and eggs in which come with white rice & beans. It was very delicious as well! We did decide to get some hookah, wasnt too great, it would die very quickly & not much smoke came out. But regardless of that it was very nice, wish it would of had more people for a greater ambiance. It was a little too quiet. Still would go again & enjoy their brunch deals!

Oh my God, Zoe Restaurant Bar & Lounge was certainly great. Wonderful energy across the board. I really wanted to try Chicken Fingers, I am seriously happy that I did, it was fabulous! And employees were very pleasant and courteous. Couldn't ask for more with this visit to Zoe Restaurant Bar & Lounge.

This was the worst experience I have ever had. It took them 30 min to bring one drink and my food was cold. Don't come here

Nice place to have drinks with a group of friends. But I was not impressed with the food. The fried calamari were not crispy. The eggplant dish was decent. Others in our group ate a variety of dishes and seemed to enjoy them. There was a live DJ playing in the second level. The music was great!

My first time and the experience was very pleasant, the food was excellent and the drinks were tasty, the service was fast n good, I would come again

Went there last Friday night w/family and friends and the place is really cool, good music, good vibes and the best drinks in town. The Lady on the bar she knows her business and the Pasta di Mare is to die for!!! I would recommend this place hands down!!

Very good variety of tasteful dishes! Delicious tropical flavorful drinks love the tacos best tasting tacos we ever tasted nice family oriented place to eat love that they have menu for kids too! Enjoy the hookah too!

The food good ! I order the stuff chicken it was amazing.. and let me tell ya about the Henney Tropical drink it would get you lit ! I'll definitely be Coming back

The nourishment, the beverages, the work force consideration consistently on point. During my first visit praised a friend'shower and the scrupulousness and nourishment were choice. Second visit was stunningly better. The Tbone steak is to flavorful!

I had a birthday dinner here with a party of 12 on April 5. The attention given was impeccable and the the food and drinks was perfect for the pre-fix menu. The calami was really good! My friends and family had a great time and also commented that this place was good. The only I can suggest to this place is a upgrade on the speakers, great music and DJ but the acoustics sound is scratchy which can be uncomfy when trying to enjoy the music. Other than that, this place is clean, attentive, and reasonable with price.

There's only one bartender and she takes long to take your orders. Happy hour was approaching in 10 mins when I ordered my last drink.. she didn't come to me until 8:55 but declined my happy hour drink. I ordered food during happy hour but didn't get my order until after. They need another bartender who will be more attentive. The only one who was available was refilling the sangria jar. I was annoyed but the drinks are good and the shrimp mofongo is excellent. Decor is nice but happy hr service sucks.... and it was empty

Horrible. So ghetto and the bartender was super rude. Charged my partner 15 dollars for a drink, which is ridiculous especially for the area, and refused to accept credit card as said claimed cash only for 20 dollars or less. On top of it all, she did not even provide a receipt. Her attitude really stinked. She spent more time smoking hooka and basically partying outside the bar area, than serving customers. Will not be returning, would NOT recommend to others.

Oh my God, Zoe Restaurant & Lounge was simply great. The atmosphere is really fun and the staff is excellent. Every thing in the menu looked amazing, but I had to go with Fried Calamari, it was a wonderful meal. Everyone seems very nice here. It was a nice way to spend an afternoon.

If I could give zero stars I would! The sangria and appetizers were good but everything went down hill after that. Waited almost 35-40 mins for my main course, with a Resturant that was practically empty. When I got my food it was tough and dry (steak and shrimp). Then to add insult to injury, they put a 15% tip for a party of THREE!!! They never came back to refill our drinks or anything and pretty much forgot about us. When we asked for a manager he said it's always the same with "You People"! You people?! Umm excuse me sir, do you mean BLACK people?! And should we not complain about bad service no matter who we are?! I've eaten in the best of places and this was NOT one!! I would NEVER visit this place again. And I don't think any other African Americans should either because clearly they have preconceived notions about "you people"! You people don't need good customer service. You people can wait forever to eat and YOU people can get bad food and not complain because we don't care about YOU people. Disgusted!!

Last time I came I was going to give them 3 stars for good music and service. This time I'm being generous with the 2 stars. The music is still good and yes very loud so you do have to yell and lean in a lot when talking to anyone especially the staff. This was the first time I have left my house to go smoke hookah so I dont know the ins and outs but I have heard a few things like flavors and more charcoal. They just have mint and never came back to offer a refill. It was just cash which wasn't said when we were ordering. My friend ordered a meal since he hadn't eaten all day. Trying to track down the waitress was a task. The waitress placed the food down and did the quickest spin that my sister who wanted to try 2 drinks didn't even have a chance to get any word out. That was lucky since they are small and not strong. I warned her but she wanted to try her luck, guess she will never have the chance because I wasn't impressed last time and most definitely wasnt impressed now. Oh and we even tracked down the waitress to give the bill AND to pay. Tip was automatically included which explains her dismissive attitude.

Excellent meal well worth the modest price. The caprice salad was bountiful and delightful. Salmon was cooked to order, and the pasta il mare included two lobster tails. Happy hour (5:30 to 8:00) has $5.00 wine and margaritas. Highly recommended! And ask for Chris as your waitperson. He was attentive and a good listener.

Ordered fried mixed seafood and only got Calamari with 3 shrimps. Was kind of disappointed since I didn't just want calamari. The drink was strong which was good .

the food is very good and the drinks are very good, I recommend them 100% el mesero Cristian es muy amable
