Z Café & Bar

Having recently moved near the lake and wanting new places to eat without always having to make a reservation, this place checked all the boxes. The only negative take away I have is parking but it's not high on the scale because it took us no time to find a spot right near the restaurant doors. Setting the scene, it was early evening on a Saturday, a little bit before 8pm. We found parking right on the side street next to the restaurant front doors. Once inside the establishment we were greeted immediately and I was able to choose where I wanted to sit due to it not being crowded (mind blown on why it wasn't). Minutes after we received our seats/menus, we were brought waters & our drink order was taken. The cocktails were amazing and their happy hour really does make you happy! After giving the menu a nice look, we decided on fries, crab cakes and the lobster ravioli. Realizing that my husband and I would be sharing, our waiter went above and beyond and asked if we wanted the ravioli brought out on two plates (Thank You, so sorry I didn't get his name). The kitchen did a beautiful job in taste and quality while preparing the food! For dessert my husband got the bread pudding which was so good I barely got any so I had to order the flourless chocolate cake. Although I don't shy away from flour, that cake made me reconsider my life choices lol. It definitely was great with the fresh cup of coffee I had to accompany it. With the service, the food and the ambiance we will definitely be regulars at The Z Bar!

Stopped by Z Cafe & Bar for dinner with a friend and it was a nice experience. We initially considered the happy hour menu, but it had limited food options. We both ordered the chicken piccata, and it was pretty good and the portion size was great too. Customer service was great, although the restaurant was quite busy. Parking was a bit of a challenge for me, but there is street parking available nearby.

So I'm sad to say we have been sleeping in this place over the last 6 years! Had no clue it even really existed although I drove past it plenty of times! I honestly thought it was a new establishment until I found out it's been here for a long time! One of my favorite parts of this place was the interior architecture. You can tell from all the crown molding this building has history and has been around a long time! I love it! To me it has a story and I wish I knew what it was. The food is also delicious. I wish I would have known sooner plus they have a super good happy hour menu! We will be back to try that soon. The service was top notch however, we did come when they had literally just unlocked the doors so it was just the two of us. We will have to go back during busier hours and see if it's still as good. All in all definitely worth a try!

Food portions great! The waitress was super kind and very welcoming! The Ambiance of the restaurant was good! The taste of the food was overall wonderful will come back, when I'm in town again! Thank you!

Great Salad food, staff is friendly and accommodating. I had the Cesar Salad with grill chicken, I enjoyed the meal.

I wanted to get some takeout for lunch, so I ordered ahead via Grubhub for a mushroom risotto and sweet potato fries. While it's named a cafe, it has a pretty large food selection, and is really more of a full service restaurant, not just a place that sells coffee/tea and sandwiches or pastries.My order was ready 15 minutes earlier than my scheduled pick up time according to the text I received. Once I got there, it was a brief wait and then I was smoothly handed over my order, which was packaged in sealed boxes to help prevent food from spilling.The sweet potato fries were pretty good, I just wish they were slightly crispier since the moisture in the box made them get less hard while I was carrying them home. As for the risotto, it was quite yummy, I haven't often seen it and it satisfied my craving for it. It's decently savory but also has a slight sour kick.

Street parking Happy hour from 5 to 9 includes drink n food service are polite and friendly food are ok I ordered the slider pork it's not fresh my next order fried chicken n fries looks appetizing

The staff here are so hands on and personable.I came in for HH, I'll be honest and say I wasn't intrigued by it and just ordered off the regular menu. So went against my HH plan.I ordered a side of rice, with their shrimp and mixed it to create a spicy shrimp scampi styled dish.Drinks were good.Parking is interesting and not the most straightforward.Overall my experience with the staff really made me want to review and give it the stars I did. I will come back to discover more of the menu, bc of them.

Classy - beautiful bar, restaurant and building - safe - welcoming- outstanding drinks, food and top shelf service. These are some of the best qualities I think of when I think of Z's or describe the location to others. This is a hometown-classy, relaxed bar that is just beautifully decorated inside, from top to bottom. Elegant and welcoming. The staff is just as welcoming and remember your name and drink! There are plenty of seats throughout the restaurant and even some outside. Any drink you can think of, they will make it and BOOM, it'll be amazing too! Their bartenders are good mixologists. Refreshing and delicious. Now; their food....ohhhhh weeeee, all of it is delicious! Their wings are always on point and the sliders too! The good thing is on different days, they have different deals so you can try everything on their menu. Their bread and butter is always fresh! Literally. I would see them drop the bread off fresh every morning to the restaurant. They offer their restaurant and services for venues and events and I HIGHLY encourage you to have your future parties held at Z's. Whether you just want to get away for a drink or two and sit while people watching or involved in a conversation or just relaxing you will want to come hang at Z's and I promise this will be your new hangout. Easily located on the corner of 28th and Broadway, there is plenty of parking on both 28th and 27th, but just as anywhere in the Bay Area, please be mindful and lock your cars and do not leave valuables in your car. There is ADA seating and restrooms.

I've been dining here with my friends for over a year.Their Sushi is prepared much like the way it would be served in a Sushi Bar, they've even got Eel Sauce.After we play Tennis, we dine here for breakfast. On my way up highway 76 I stop in at Happy Hour in the evening by myself or with a friend. 〰〰〰〰[Breakfast|Lunch|Dinner]〰〰〰〰Service is great * Servers do a good job at being attentive when you need them to add something Artwork on the walls give you plenty to feast your eyes on, an outside patio for sunshine with a breeze.It's my Regular Go-To along Highway 76 in Bonsall.
