Loved every moment at Zollie's from the jazz singer, to the Hostess and Waiter, and last but not least the amazing food. Table of four got the Sticky Ribs and North Atlantic Salmon with Crab in a banana leaf. Everything was excellent! Thanks Zollie's for making my Mom's Birthday that much better!!!

Zollie's never disappoints with their dishes. Chef Tony has exceptional taste and creates amazing dishing. On Wednesday, there are plenty of offerings at $39 per person which includes a starter, main entree, and dessert. We highly recommend this place. It is one of our favorites.

The food was excellent, and the service was terrific. The chef even came out and chatted with us. The hostess also stopped by for a bit. The music, jazz, was very good, and just the right volume. My wife and I could have a conversation without having to talk over the music. All in all, a great night. Can't wait to go back.

Lovely little spot, fantastic food (loved the mussels in a curry type broth and the crabcake benedict dish); my husband's seafood dish was chock full. Very attentive service. Warm and friendly ambiance. Highly recommend it. Takes some time for the meal but this chef knows what he's doing and so worth the wait.

We arrived for an early dinner. Unfortunately, many of the lunch selections were not available for dinner. A shame, but understandable. Had the Brussels sprouts, which are always yummy and cooked to perfection. Wanted the wrap, but it wasn’t available for dinner. Opted for the shrimp and grits. Prepared as I requested (no sauce/gravy), as I’m a pescatarian. Shrimp were scrumptious, as well as the grits. Just needed another couple more spoonfuls of grits.

Overall, as my first experience with Zollie's was decent. The atmosphere is a bit lacking, we were at a table by the back door that seemed like we were seated at the end of a long hallway. The service was great, and the owner was pleasant to chat with. Overall, it was good, but I did expect to hear some Jazz as the background music, but alas, there was none.

The food was kind of modern southern, well presented, tasty and well priced. Cocktails were made correctly. Service was good. The decorations and mood just wasn't "JAZZ Cucina", which we drove 30 minutes to experience. There was just a keyboardist playing pretty mellow stuff, did NOT sing at the front, and was hard to hear.

Food was good except my friend ordered her meat medium and it came to the table well done We were there maybe an hour and had decided not to have dessert and 5 minutes later was asked to give up the table and continue our conversation at the very packed bar. I found that a bit unwelcoming.

Good food. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere. We were kind of expecting jazz music, - there was live music, but it wasn’t jazz. The service was decent. We were both a little disappointed with the bloody Mary’s. They were just fair. Everything else was good.

We ordered the fried oysters and grits West Indian snapper and the Blackened catfish which were all very good! Very flavorful. We also ordered the spiced apple bread pudding which was more like a cake but did not care for that. Definitely would go back again!

Came for my bday and had a nice time. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. My only suggestion is if there would be more transparency in the description of the meal and I in the future will ask for an explanation when I’m not sure of something. I ordered blackened cat fish and didn’t expect it to be served on top of the cornbread that I was looking forward to tasting and also surrounding with beans that I absolutely do not like or thought went with catfish. My family enjoyed theirs though

Food was rather bland. Drinks inconsistent…Overall everything was just okay, not a good value for the money!

It was my wife's birthday dinner, and she picked the place based on a dish she has had there before. The item was not on the menu, and the owner tried to make it like my wife never had the dish there. On several occasion with me and other family members witnessed her having that dish. The wait staff seemed to be pushing us out too, did not even offer us desert or the desert menu. Not a great experience.
