ZOI Restaurant & Lounge

My friends and I came today for their Miami Spice lunch. It did not disappoint. The staff were lovely, friendly and Turkish to boot. I used to have an apartment in Turkey many years ago and reminisced of my time travelling through Turkey. It reminded me of that culture.Inside the restaurant we had a wonderful round wooden table set up for our party. We were made to feel special. We were not rushed in anyway. We were told that as we were a party of five, we should try ALL on the Miami spice menu to get a good all round experience and would be able to savour everything. So, we agreed. It was a wonderful feast of homely food that hit the spot. I loved the decor inside the restaurant and appreciated the historical element of the old Pump House. Being English I miss cultural history. The decor inside was gorgeous. The gardens outside were pretty and I would imagine they are magical at nighttime. The service as sweet, friendly and personable. The food did not disappoint. I recommend. Being an artist, I believe photos speak for themselves, so enjoy my pictures!

We visited Zoi on a Saturday night to celebrate our anniversary, but unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to expectations.It is a very nice place inside and the outside looks beautiful but it was just very hot to sit outdoors that night. Even though the restaurant was nearly empty--just us inside and a small party outside--the service was slow. We ordered a sampler appetizer with hummus, Shakshuka, tzatziki, and another dip that I honestly can't even remember. The Shakshuka was the only standout; the rest was just mediocre. At one point, we needed more pita for the dips but couldn't get our waiter's attention. He was sitting at the front of the restaurant eating with other employees, which was disappointing. When our sautéed mushrooms finally arrived, we asked the server who brought them for more pita, and thankfully, it came out quickly. The mushrooms were fine, but nothing special.We didn't order anything else and left shortly after. Sadly, this experience wasn't what we were hoping for, and we won't be returning.

We had an amazing time over the weekend celebrating my birthday with my family started with the hummus the mussles and the octopus ,Sonny you made an amazing recommendations My wife and I had the sea bass for twoThe cheesecake was outstanding it was a picture perfect moment a server was outstanding pointed out the best items on the menu will definitely be back

We ordered bunch of appetizers and they were all delicious! Lots of hummus options with different veggies purée. The grilled octopus was cooked perfectly and the calamari was nice and crispy. Everyone enjoyed their fried cheese as well. The beef kebab was melting in my mouth! The owner Sonny was really friendly and kept coming to check in on us. The outdoor and indoor had a romantic ambiance and very chill atmosphere, it was perfect for us! They also have parking on the side which was convenient.

Ambience and service was so so so lovely it pains me to say I truly just did not enjoy the food whatsoever. Maybe the kitchen was having a bad night and there are other fantastic things on the menu but it just missed the mark completely for me. The portions were ridiculous for the price and my lamb was still very raw. The space is incredible and staffed with incredibly kind people. I hope they improve their menu and dishes because I would love to be back and give it another shot.

Zoi has a gorgeous patio. This is a perfect spot for a date night. The food is great and staff is very friendly. We shared the dip sampler and lamb platter and both were very good. Be proactive and ask for double pita when ordering the sampler because you won't want to stop eating the dips.

A unique outdoor dining experience that is beautiful at sunset. We enjoyed a Pix fixe 3-course dinner event that sampled across the menu. Appetizers - Chef's Selection: chtipiti, tzatziki, hummus, kopoglu, with moderately charred pita. the mezzes were very good but would have been excellent if the pita had been a little better. Wine: We were advised a few times that we would only receive "2 glasses of wine" with the meal. Cool. However, when given the choice it was "red or white". When questioned a little further on what kind of white wine, we were told "white!" It was fair and didn't desire to drink more than the allotted amount. My table partner was a little more blunt, saying "It's not good."Main Entree: Had a mixed platter of chicken, lamb, roasted vegetables and white pilaf style rice, along with a platter of fish, I believe Branzino. the fish was excellent, and the chick and lamb were flavorful but a bit dry. Dessert: Small bite-sized Baklava that was excellent. Of the two negative experiences, the milder was the server, specifically, the one that seemed to be the manager, was brusk in tone and temperament, which is ok... not a deal breaker. It was surprising but not terrible. - The second incident was more uncomfortable. One diner, who had specified early that she wanted a vegetarian option, and they said they could easily provide "no problem". I am not a vegan/ vegetarian but I empathize with food preferences. However, it was clear that she was served a meaty sauce with pasta. The diner confirmed with our table her suspicions and we were all in agreement that it looked meaty. The staff replaced the plate and the next dish clearly was different and appeared meatless. Overall, beautiful venue, with great outdoor space, good food, brusk service, and mediocre wine.

We had such high hopes for this place and was left seriously disappointed. It had been on my list for so long I was eager to try.In a nutshell- the 2 stars are for the drinks (all wine based) and the ambiance. The restaurant and outdoor patio are simply stunning.Now to everything else. It was mediocre at best. We arrive on a Friday night around 9 pm and the hostess immediately tells us we could not be seated because it was an hour wait and we didn't have a reservation. You could clearly see the restaurant was not full. We go to Open Table and what do you know? Multiple openings for that time frame. We book it and other gentleman seats us. The host, looking surprised, comes back stuttering on her words saying they just had cancellation so we could be seated. Already turned off at this point but again this has been on my list for a long time.The service was terrible. It took forever for the food to come out and you could look around the restaurant and most tables didn't have food. We were told it was because we ordered the branzino which takes a while but it was close to a 1 hour wait and other tables waited just as long with no branzino. When I food finally came, items were missing and we had to remind the server to check for other food. We also had to wait extremely long for her to check on us or bring the check. Once we got the check even longer to pay. Lastly, the food. Meh! Absolutely no flavor. From the video and pictures I thought everything would be divine. The octopus was gummy, the branzino was terrible and we were having to spit out bones every bite. The lemon potatoes were ok but nothing I would order again.

ZOI is a vibe! We got hookah and sat beyond the trees, it was a Tulum vibe. They are super accommodating and the service was some of the best I've experienced. Everything we had was delicious. The cocktails are made with wine. I was scared to try at first but it was a nice switch up and they were delish! We did the Miami Spice menu, and even came back twice lol. Really enjoyed the hummus as well as the baklava!

To start on a positive note, the ambiance was charming, the live entertainment with the violinist and belly dancer was very nice!! However, the experience quickly went downhill from there. The service was disorganized, waiters were all Over the places and lost, our waiter barely greeted us. He didn't explain the menu and brought the wrong bottle of wine, twice, blaming it on the bartender. When we asked questions about the dishes, he couldn't offer any clear answers. The food itself was underwhelming and overpriced, lacking any standout qualities. To top it off, my boyfriend had arranged for a birthday cake to celebrate my special day, but what arrived was a disappointing scoop of plain Greek yogurt with a few nuts and honey on top.Overall, this was a terrible experience. There are so many better Mediterranean places you can try, don't let them fool you with a cute picture on their website. Between the poor service, mediocre food, and the absurd attempt at a birthday treat, I'll definitely never return.
