It was my first time coming here for lunch yesterday with a friend. Ambiance was spacious & it had a nice chill, relaxing vibe. Service was attentive & excellent. Their menu had a lot of good options to choose from. I'd normally go for the kebab but since we weren't starving, we decided on the chicken salad & lentil soup to share. The lentil soup was different from what I'm used to having at other places. It was lacking flavor & just okay. The chop chop salad & the palliard chicken salad were great. However, chop chop salad tasted better. Everything in that salad blended well together & it just had more flavor in my opinion. I would order that again. The other salad had tad bit too much goat cheese which I didn't like. Overall, I rate this experience a 3.5 stars. I'd like to come back & try their kebab next time. read more

Coffee is still SO incredibly delicious!!!! Unfortunately, the food is not as great as their coffee!!!! I've been here a few times now, and each time the food declines for me. I used to look forward to their breakfast and it just isn't the same as it was before. read more

Review for the bakery: ordered a chocolate box cake and it was divine! Decadent with beautiful chocolate shavings on top and even an entire halo of chocolate around the entire cake. The cake itself was super moist and I appreciated the mousse to cake ratio (I feel like some places fill in with too much mousse and not enough to cake). I ordered a few days before and they didn't even take payment in advance! I just paid when I picked up. Delicious cake! The 6 inch cake fed 6 of us easily, plus there was room for 2 more slices. read more

My first visit here, a very unique and cool place! It has two sides, one side is the breakfast and bakery, the other is lunch/dinner. It's one big restaurant but two completely different entrances for each restaurant you want to go to. The lunch/dinner side is a very open space with a fireplace and great ambiance!!! I will definitely be back to try that side but today I went for the breakfast and bakery. Wow! You won't be disappointed the quality and atmosphere as well as flavors are great. Everyone I feel can be a harsh critic and it must be hard to please everyone but if you look how much work the restaurant puts into all the details and it's ingredients it really is a great place. They were busy when I went. All of our food and bakery items were amazing we were happy we visited and we will come back again! read more

We celebrated a birthday here. She is a vegetarian and she loved all the food. This place is great for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians! read more

Loved the atmosphere the moment we walked in, seemed like the perfect family date night restaurant with a live guitar player. We called in about an hour prior to arrival and were accommodated on a Friday night which was highly appreciated. We skipped the appetizers because we weren't very hungry and went straight to entrees (I don't think our waiter appreciated that lol!). The food was decent, I had the seafood linguini which lacked flavor, but was cooked well. The others in our party did enjoy their dish. We topped off the night with dessert which was delicious! Service was OK, we weren't asked if we wanted anything else or even offered dessert, we had to chase down a hostess to order it. IF I returned (big IF), I would love to see more attention to their patrons regardless of what is ordered upfront. read more

I don't know whether the opening of the San Clemente location and the reshaping of the Tustin Enderle Center have diverted management's attention, but the level of service at Zov's Tustin has noticeably declined over the past several months. Last week, we brought out-of-town guests to Zov's because, historically, it has been one of our favorite and most reliable dining experiences. Unfortunately, we left disappointed. We wanted our guests to experience the quality and hospitality that Zov's has long been known for, but the service fell well short of expectations. This was particularly frustrating because I had already spoken with two different managers regarding the recent decline in service. In an effort to avoid another disappointing experience, when we checked in with the hostess, we specifically requested one of their experienced servers (Hannah or Yvette). (Sadly, now when we come to Zov's Tustin, we scan to see what servers are working before we get to the hostess and make a request.) We were seated in Hannah's section, but instead a gentleman came to the table and began taking our drink orders. At that time, the restaurant was not busy. As the evening progressed, it became apparent that our server was also tending bar and became increasingly occupied as Happy Hour traffic picked up. After our entrees were finished, we waited approximately ten minutes with dirty plates on the table. Our water glasses were empty, and we were hoping to order coffee and dessert. Eventually, I had to wave down another server for assistance because no one had checked on our table. That server removed our plates and took our dessert order. However, when the desserts finally arrived, the bartender delivered them and even commented that the ice cream had melted. Despite acknowledging the issue, nothing was done to correct it. Having worked in the restaurant industry myself, I understand that great service is built on teamwork, awareness, and efficiency. I have previously mentioned to management the number of times we have observed servers, bussers, and even managers walking through the dining room empty-handed while tables around them needed attention. Effective restaurants train employees to constantly scan the dining room, assist where needed, and never miss opportunities to clear plates, refill beverages, or check on guests. At the price point we paid--approximately $280 for our meal--there is simply no excuse for this level of service. We continue to enjoy Zov's and want to see it succeed, which is why I felt compelled to bring these concerns to your attention. My hope is that management will take a closer look at service standards and staff training so that loyal customers can once again enjoy the consistently excellent dining experience that made Zov's a destination restaurant in the first place. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in OC! My favorite is their tuna sandwich but you can't go wrong with any of the other menu options.

This place was packed for lunch. Make sure you have a reservation. Service was fast and friendly. I had their two kabob plate which had a big steak and chicken kabob, rice and mixed veggies. This was a very good meal. The pieces of meat were huge and tender. It came with a forgettable sauce, wish it was a garlic paste or something. The rice was super soft and good and a large amount of veggies. Was happy with my choice and everyone else in our party enjoyed our meals. Highly recommend. read more

We had a lovely dinner there and the service was impeccable! Our waiter Greg was enthusiastic, friendly, and very attentive. The manager Gabriel was also kind and friendly. The food was delicious! My son had the short rib papparadelle, I had the Parmesan crusted chicken, and my husband had the flank steak with fingerling potatoes- everything was perfect! Including the hummus appetizer with loads of warm pita bread. Yummy! We will definitely be back to Zov's bistro! read more

Everything was wonderful, EXCEPT---- they have stopped serving their amazing Cioppino. They changed their menu slightly and removed the cioppino. The poor server said she gets asked all the time for it, even the night we were there 3 different tables had planned to order it. They do offer a seafood linguine but doesn't have that amazing broth of the cioppino. PLEASE, Please, bring it back. read more

Always amazing! Food delicious and great customer service. Highly recommend. And clean.

The food here was better than I imagined. Came here for a private party and there was a set menu. The main course was either their steak or Pistachio Bass. I went with the Bass and enjoyed every bit of it. Also, Ny cheesecake for dessert. Best of all, the 2 main servers (Sam and a female), were exceptionally amazing! I can't wait to return to this establishment again. read more

I usually enjoy Zov's and have had some great meals here in the past, which makes this visit all the more disappointing. I came in for a lunch my wife and I, we ordered a sampler and two main courses. Unfortunately, all the food came out at the same time, which completely threw off the experience. By the time we were ready to eat the mains, everything had gone cold. For a $120 lunch, I expected much better execution and service. The flavors, which are usually spot-on, just didn't hit the mark this time--maybe because everything sat out too long. We barely touched the food, ended up wrapping it to go, and left pretty frustrated. Really hoping this was just an off day, but it definitely left a bad taste (literally and figuratively) this time around. read more

Best pastries around! You can never go wrong with a sweet treat from here. Between the fruit tart and the key lime pie, it's impossible to pick a favorite, but honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu! As if I didn't already love this place enough, they recently introduced matcha drinks & they're absolutely incredible! Definitely one of my go-to spots for pastries, coffee & all things sweet! read more

First time here. We invited our cousins who were visiting from Australia. We arrived as soon as they opened, for brunch. Very nice restaurant, lovely ambiance. Two lovely gentlemen came and chatted with us, I assume, they were the owners. The food is Mediterranean. My husband and I ordered vegetarian options but our guests ordered the meats. They loved the food very much. It was a very hot day, we were experiencing a heat wave, I wish they had the Airconditioner lowered a bit more. Overall our experience here was very good. The staff were really friendly and the service was good. read more

what a delightful surprise this place was! I needed a place to spend some time while my daughter was at the dentist. Sometimes, restaurants don't appreciate a single diner, but Zov's was super friendly and treated me with welcome and hospitality. I love to eat outside. there was plenty of shade and I enjoyed the sound of water from a fountain by my table. The cheeseburger was top-notch. I was able to substitute a salad for fries For a small up charge. The Greek salad was fresh and the ingredients were of the best quality. The latte I ordered was quite large for the price and the flavor was delicious. I will definitely be back! read more

I liked the live music they have it on Friday nights and the food was great and flavorful. The lamb was soooo good and juicy!!

I've been coming to this Zov's location for many years now. Since before any of the other locations existed and the most recent experience was by far the absolute best! Our server, JC was absolutely amazing! He was super attentive, paid attention to all of the details, had great suggestions and was super friendly and hilarious. Over the countless times I've been to Zov's he has been the best waiter we have ever had. Thank you so much, JC! You're doing a great job and have elevated the dining experience at Zov's. read more

Food service atmosphere great place for friends get together had my husband's 80th birthday in private dinning room

A truly excellent spot! Came here for lunch after having been a fan of Roxy's for a long time (gone too soon!) and absolutely loved the ambiance, the food, the drinks, everything. Our server was efficient (important for a large working lunch group) and the lavender lemonade, calamari (NOT fried, in a delicious sauce instead), mezze platter, and chicken paillard were all fantastic. If you like a heavily dressed salad, ask for extra on the side, but if you like the flavors light, they do a very nice job not letting the balsamic overwhelm the dish. read more

The food here is pretty boring. The whole place is boring. Not really sure what else to say. It's not bad, it's just not great. I'd imagine years ago this was the place. But today, they seem to be standing still as other restaurants pass them by. You won't find anyone younger than 50 in this place. Maybe 60. It's starting to look like a Marie Callender's, but twice the price. read more
