Zdara has some really fantastic items on its menu, such as the grilled halumi and the popcorn falafel. That, combined with their reasonable happy hour drink prices bump it up to 4 stars.
However, diners should be forewarned that the restaurant seems to be suffering from some growing pains possibly attributable to poor management. The service is inconsistent, as is the dining experience. The first time I ate there, within the restaurant's first week of business, my stuffed salmon entree was serously undercooked (much of the fish was raw, and the crab stuffing was room tempurature).
I still recommend this restaurant, though, as a nice alternative to the more traditional American fare elsewhere in the Warehouse District.
