We would have scored Zoi much lower had it not been for our server and restaurant concierge, Sonny. He made us feel seen, welcome and important which while mostly ego-based, adds to an overall restaurant vibe. Sonny goes out of his way to ensure every patron gets VIP treatment. The food is good, not knock your socks off great but adequate as part of an overall enjoyable, sexy and romantic dining experience. Make sure Sonny makes your coffee. Traditional Cuban style that was exceptional. We’ll be back even if it’s just to give him a hug.
