I can hardly contain my enthusiasm that Zoe's has opened in Rivergate! I can see this as our new go to spot for nights we don't want to cook, but still want to be healthy and also don't want to smash the piggy bank.
The best part of this restaurant is the food (isn't it great when it works out like that?). I was a little hesitant at first ordering the salmon skewers with a side salad and veggies. I was worried it wasn't going to be enough to keep full until our late dinner. I was so impressed with the amount and quality when the plate came out! The side salad was easily half the plate and the roasted veggies were flavorful. The salmon was a little over done and the zucchini on either end was charred which was a bummer but not a deal breaker.
As happy as I was with my meal I think my boyfriend's steak roll ups were the real winner. I snagged a bite and was immediately in love with the steak and cheesy goodness that is essence of the roll. Even with my delicious meal I must admit there was some food envy.
The only drawback to this restaurant (other than the charred zucchini) was the wait time. Even though we came late in the afternoon with one or two orders ahead of us it was still a 20 or so minute wait for our food. Not a big deal since we weren't in a rush it just makes me a little hesitant to go there during peak hours.
