    After a flight from NYC and unpacking at the hotel we all went to Le Zoo together with my daughter’s 10 month old who had never flown before. Everyone was tired and wondered how the dinner would be. It was as good as it could be. Friendly and helpful hostess, a lovely and efficient waitress and good food. We did not have to rush out but instead could relax while we ate. Good Branzino, Tasty Grilled salmon, beautiful Chicken paillard, and other good stuff including baba rum. Great job, Le Zoo! Thank you!
