    We had an awesome experience here for our annual Christmas Eve/Birthday dinner with our family. The restaurant and surrounding area was decorated beautifully, it is so nice to see Detroit aglow again. Our server; Donovan; was very attentive in spite of having several tables; he anticipated our every need and helped to make the evening very enjoyable. Every entree was presented beautifully; complements to the chefs; it made for a very memorable experience and we will definitely be back. The food was excellent overall; the only complaint was that the Chicken Milano was a little dry; two of us had it and it was the same for both; maybe add a little more of the wonderful sauce that came with it. One minor complaint; as mentioned the ambience was awesome at this restaurant but the lights seemed to "strobe" with the light music playing in the background. Four people in our party would be considered senior citizens and we all noticed the lights flickering to the beat of the music; this may not even be noticeable to younger people though. Overall though we all recommend this restaurant to anyone; the owners obviously care a great deal and have created a perfect dining experience.

    Our server, Mike, made certain we had an exceptional experience. His knowledge of the special menu items, alone, was impeccable. His suggestions were on point with what the table wanted. The food was amazing (duck breast tasted like a steak -wow!). The ambience was decked out in a winter wonderland theme for the Christmas holiday to make our experience especially enjoyable. I had guests from NY who were pleasantly surprised at what Plymouth had to offer, and The Ledger gave a great impression/representation of the town. This restaurant will be around for a very long time.

    We were on upper level and were very pleased. Our server was very helpful and pleasant. The strip steak and the prime rib were both very good.

    I love Zola but it is so loud and people packed into the space. Wish they would fix both of those annoyances but then again others may like the energy.
