Zorro's Steakhouse

Overated Nightmare

My Wife decided to take me to Zorro’s for my birthday after hearing all the great reviews from many online sources. When we got there we waited 5 minutes until someone came to show us to our table, the waiter making the salad in the middle of the dining room (very odd) looked at us and didn’t even bother getting the host to come to the front to show us to our table. Moving on, when we were seated we noticed a particularly older crowd. I ordered a beer and my wife a wine while we looked through the menu (they have a good selection of wine but beer on tap). With our drinks the waiter (who was cold as ice) brought out a silver platter with olives, butter and pickles. Olives were great, pickles were old and butter was frozen. They also brought out some warm garlic bread, it was very good. For an appetizer my wife ordered a cesar salad and I ordered escargot. Her salad was very good but my escargot had almost a musty taste, much too oily and much too salty, nothing at all like the fresh and nicely seasoned escargot I am used to at true high end restaurants. For our entree I ordered Surf and turf and my wife ordered the seafood linguini ($30) substituting the seafood with chicken. It took an unusually long time to get our food and the restaurant was not particularly busy, I asked for a potato instead of rice for my side but they messed that up also (later they corrected the mistake and brought me my potato) My lobster tail WAS NOT FRESH AT ALL, it was over cooked and I only took a bite and discarded the rest. My steak was a 7 ounce strip loin which looked great but was cold and chewy. I mean it was a $60 plate and it was inedible. I had a little bit of my steak then did my best to fill up on bread. My wife’s meal was no better, her pasta was full of chicken, chicken had no flavour and the sauce tasted like it came out of a can, chef Boyardee would of been better. As you can imagine we skipped desert. Now to the atmosphere, waiter was super rude, the ambiance was nice, dimly lit but very old. The restaurants patrons had no class, people were cursing whirl telling jokes one guy (American) was groping his women and talking at an elevated level. All in all this was absolutely THE WORST RESTAURANT we have ever been too, before you go here explore some other options, don’t exclude fast food chains you’re bound to have a much more enjoyable experience.

This meal was excellent. The regular cut prime rib was delicious and generous in portion. We both took some home, I could not imagine eating the Zorro's cut. We had average clam chowder to start and salad was good. New waiter to start but as he had trouble answering our questions he was quickly replaced. Service was excellent. Now, for the entertainment! A couple of,....ladies were having dinner when we arrived. As the evening went on their conversation got louder, mainly the attractive middle aged blond, may have had some fashion experience when younger. Anyway her language got smutty and she was bold. Her companion was very quiet and didn't get much in herself. The staff looked a bit embarrassed but I think she was a regular. The staff showed the rest of us their concern but we all took it with a bit of fascination.

Awesome

Old school restaurant, insanely good food!

My family and I were there on Father's Day. We had heard so many wonderful things about Zorros, and all of these opinions were confirmed. The service, the food and the atmosphere were spectacular. It is a family run business so that alone makes the place more inviting. The host and hostess were very friendly and courteous, as were our waiters. The food, which consisted of salad, unlimited garlic bread, steak and shrimp were fantastic, just melted in our mouths. The waiter suggested a wine for us, which was a great choice. This was well worth the money. I have already suggested this restaurant to all of our family and friends. Believe me, you need to visit!

This restaurant is vastly overpriced. All three...

This restaurant is vastly overpriced. All three of our green salads were simply swimming in dressing. I couldn't even finish mine. When I told our waiter about this, he simply told me that I should have specified that I wanted less dressing. I'm sorry, I didn't expect THAT much! The filet mignon was delicious, but the other 2 meals were simply adequate, and not nearly worth what we paid for them. The scallops and ribs were both overdone, as were the vegetables. Service was really lacking, and not what I expected. It always felt like we were imposing on the waitstaff whenever we asked for something. I will not visit again.
