on Citysearch Jun 25, 2008My husband and I ate at Zoot on a Wednesday evening when it was about half full. It has a peaceful atmosphere, and the tables are arranged with a high enough central division to the room to create a nice feeling of... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 08, 2008I recently went to zoot and found the service as well as the food to be excellent. I found the portions to be quite satisfying and actually my wifes lamb could have fed a small family. We actually felt the portions rather... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 03, 2008My husband and I went to ZOOT last evening for our wedding anniversary. As a former server of an upscale restaurant in Washington, DC I am always in tune to the DETAILS of the entire dining experience. When we were... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 04, 2008The atmosphere is great, unfortuntaley, the service is the polar opposite. The staff seems put out if the clientele bothers them for things like more water or asking why the food is taking two hours to come out of the... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 08, 2007I ate at Zoot for my first time last evening. We had reservations for a party of nine and were seated promptly. We had a choice between a la cart dining or a three course meal for $50. I wanted the three course meal but was... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 10, 2007After having heard and read many great reviews of this Austin eatery, 6 friends decided to give it a try last night. Having waited 15 minutes for our already reserved table we said no big deal. Can't blame the party... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 09, 2005My wife and I recently returned to Zoot after some time away. We're longtime fans of the cozy little restaurant, but this time around we had our best experience yet. Start to finish, dinner was serene. Flavors were... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 26, 2005After reading the previous review, I was a little concerned about dinner plans for a group of five because my friend joining us is a vegetarian. She ordered the Farmers Market tasting menu, (which is all vegetarian),... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 16, 2005I am not sure why "vegetarian" is a word featured in the description of Zoot, because there weren't any vegetarian entrees. As someone who isn't fond of meat, I had a difficult time choosing an entree, so I wouldn't... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 27, 2004I am always impressed with Stewarts incredible ability to create something out of nothing. Zoot is just one more shining example of his talent. It had been some time between our visits to the little house on Hearn, but... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 20, 2003I read some of the negative reviews and was really surprised. Austin is not blessed with a lot of truly great restaurants, but I count us lucky to have a restaurant like Zoot. Zoot was great before, but now that its owned... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 19, 2003at Zoot. My wife and I wate there about a month ago. For some reason it took us this long to finally eat at Zoot. We were not dissappointed. The service and atmosphere was professional and welcoming. Despite what I've... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 22, 2003I have only been here once, but the service was wonderful, the decor was cool and retro (LOVE the Eames chairs!), and the food was awesome. Perfect portions - you didn't need to roll me out, as so often is the case these... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 11, 2003Having grown up in Houston and lived in Dallas, I have visited many excellent restaurants. We have consistently been disappointed in the restaurant selections here in Austin. So when we heard about Zoot being... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 03, 2003It's hard to imagine this place is rated at about the same as bland chain restaurants. Disregard the negative review, since I've only had really good experiences the three times I've been to Zoot. They have very... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 13, 2003Overcrowded, too noisy, overpriced. Seems like it's more of a "place to be seen" kind of restaurant. (more)

on Citysearch Jan 03, 2003Quite disappointed with the potions and dessert. In addition, the waitstaff automatically assumed when we gave cash not to bring back change. I have dined around Austin and other parts of the country and have paid... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 17, 2002My wife and I have been coming here since they opened the doors. The food is always beautifully done and the chef can be counted on for creative twists like the petite pot pie with the chicken on the menu now. Excellent... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 15, 2002We had previously dined at Zoot for a very special evening with Liz Carpenter (what fun!) and knew it would be perfect for my inlaws' 60th wedding anniversary. Yes, 60th! We all ordered something different and each... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 26, 2002Recently went with a large group for a bday party and was very disappointed with all aspects of the meal. The filet (from a limited menu geared toward everyone spending 35.00/entree) was overcooked and tiny. My... (more)
