What People Say

According to reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable, ZOILO earns praise for its “mouthwatering empanadas,” “perfectly cooked steak,” and “great wine pairings.” Diners often highlight the friendly, knowledgeable staff who are quick to offer recommendations. Many note the cozy downstairs seating area is ideal for more intimate meals, while the upstairs space gives off a livelier buzz.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that seating can feel a bit tight during peak hours, and that the small-plate format may not suit those looking for a traditional three-course meal. While not the cheapest option, most agree the quality justifies the price.
