About the restaurant
Since 1997, we've been striving to please our guests, whether they’re looking for old favorites, seasonal creations, small plates or an introduction to new wine. We’ve adapted our style to reflect current food trends as well as the way our guests want to eat. So while there’s a selection for those who want to splurge on entrees such as the signature Ahi Tuna, New Zealand Elk or NY Strip, there are plenty of other options including gluten-free and vegetarian selections along with weekly wine features. Cheers!

The lobster bisque is good. Also any of the fish selections are great. The pork chop is very tasty as are the steaks. Cheese cake and/or apple pie with ice cream are a great way to top off dinner.

Everyone had a great meal. The only negative is that the Lemon risotto was way to lemony The Brie and Apple appetizer and fried pickles great. Catfish perfect and steaks delicious

Dinner at Ziba’s was OUTSTANDING. The ambience is so inviting and cozy: We ordered the white mussels which we both agreed were the best in the city ! Next we ordered phyllo baked Brie and the whole branzino . Both dishes exceeded our expectations. I can’t wait to go and order these items again . Drinks and service were very good and the prices were very reasonable. Definitely give this place a try . We will be back !

We saw Saint + Council and considered trying it for our date night. We were extremely please with the food, prices were reasonable for a date night location, and the service was great. Only downfall was a table by us was EXTREMELY loud, but that’s isn’t the restaurants fault.

Great service, as always! My husband got the burger per usual - he loves it every time. I ordered the Roasted Green Circle Farms Chicken. I don’t typically order chicken at restaurants because I feel like there’s so many other things I could order that I wouldn’t normally make at home. This chicken dish sounded too good to pass up though & it did not disappoint.

We went for the steak flambé but they didn’t offer it. The Prix fixe meal was great as well was the service and decor. Definitely recommend the beef Wellington that’s offered on Friday and Saturday nights!
