Walking in we thought we were at any one of MANY dining choices in the downtown area that look alike although the wine cellar does stand out. The food, however, ended any direct comparison to its competitiors. The monkfish and pork chop were out of this world with the monkfish nosing out the chop for top honors. Needless to say, the wine selection was top drawer with a number of very reasonably priced selections. Don't miss this one.

    I believe Zealous has closed. It was always hard to tell when they were open (may have been part of the problem), but now it's dark at all hours.

  • It is off the beaten path, but definitley worth a visit. As you walk into this contemporary styled restaurant you will immedialtey see a large wine cellar and bar area! The main room has high ceilings, but is very inviting and warm. The entrees are unique dishes with a flavorful international flare. The mango pancakes with foie gras was exceptional as was the sea bass entree. The seafood was very fresh and the desserts were also exceptional.
