by Anna S. on When a friend offered us her restaurant week reservation at Zahav, I was excited, but I didn't realize how bad I was going to feel for her since she couldn't make it. This was truly one of the best meals I've ever had, and I really like to eat. From the house-made bread w/ hummus to the unbelievable rugelach w/ mysterious and delicious creamy dipping sauce, every single thing we ate was on point. Perfect flavors, perfectly cooked, perfect portions. From what I can tell, the restaurant week menu is basically the same as the regular tasting menu (and the same price), with a few variations. My favorite items were the halloumi (fried sheep's milk cheese. boom.) and the braised beef cheek. But I'm pretty sure you can't go wrong. Unless you never go here. That would be the wrong choice.
by Monroe Martinell on Went here for the http://Eats.com/CityHarvest event. What?? They ran out of champagne a half hour after I arrived? God lord, didn't they realize I'd be sucking that up like milk? Where's the food? The tasty niblets? four deep to get to the bars, I saw a woman wearing a lace halter dress straight out of the Fredericks of Hollywood catalog, wearing a tiara and no panties. We were praying she wouldn't pull a Britney as she attempted to climb up the stairs. Honey, at one point in your life, please look in a mirror. Switched to an inferior white wine. Stared drunkenly at a http://Eats.comglossy magazine, wondered why rateclubs didn't do one and appoint me fashion director. Wobbled off into the night with three other events planned to go to; happy at least that my money went to a good cause and delighted that it wasn't going to the food bill at Marquee.
by Rob J. on I can't say anything about the restaurant itself, because we went for the drinks and dancing on a Saturday night. Our party had reservations and got a few bottles, so my friend and I got right in, even at around 12:30am. I mean, yeah, it's a pretty standard club, with the slutty-looking waitresses and 40 year old men that forget they haven't been young in quite some time, but I really had a LOT of fun. The DJ was quite good, although towards the end of the night he got a little ADHD and didn't play any one song for more than about 60 seconds. Oh, and Journey was played WAY TOO EARLY in the night. I would definitely go back, though.
