It's located in a run-down plaza (I should really google map these restaurants in the future) and seems to be connected to the bar next door. At 7:30PM on a Friday night, we were the only patrons in the whole restaurant. It seems like we booked the whole place for ourselves! The decor was mostly vintage, there were pictures on the wall of the celebrities that came by, and the lighting was extremely dim. The Food: Seafood Anti-Pasto - $11.95 We ordered this as an appetizer, and it wasn't very appetizing. It consisted mostly of squid/octopus and lettuce soaking in olive oil. The squid was tough to chew on, and left a sour taste in my mouth. Veal Piccata - $18.95 My friend's entree was not much of a looker, but he enjoyed the tenderness of the veal. Marsala seafood - $18.95 This was my entree, and I"m not too sure I have the name spelled right, but it was a heap of spaghetti with mussels on the side and a few pieces of scallop and shrimp. It was not bad at all, but I think I can attempt to make this at home with Ragu. The Service: Pretty good service - there was only one waiter running around making our drinks and taking our order, at the same time running over to the next door bar to serve people there. He was very friendly, and constantly checked up on us. I would come here for the drinks next time because they're very reasonably priced: Amaretto Sour - $4.86 Gin and Tonic - $4.86 I did NOT like that there was a mandatory 15% gratuity charged on our bill. There was only two of us - I think we should tip at our own discretion. This ruined our experience here a bit - Don't think I will be returning.

    What an absolute gem! We chose their new location to celebrate our wedding anniversary and were…read moreblown away. The modern, chic decor sets a wonderful ambiance, and the service was immediate and welcoming. The food was spectacular from start to finish. We started with fresh, warm bread, followed by a flavorful seafood gumbo loaded with meat, and a generous portion of two lightly breaded crab cakes. For our mains, the 10oz ribeye and 8oz tenderloin were seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection--compliments to the chef! They came with a lovely side of baby potatoes and vegetables. We capped off a perfect meal with a warm pecan tart and ice cream. I highly recommend coming here. We noticed they have a pizza oven and plan to add pizza to the menu soon; we already can't wait for our next visit to try it out! Ps parking wise, the restaurant is just off a residential neighborhood and parking is free. No need to pay for any parking, just remember to read signs.

There are specials that change weekly. The interior is decorated with New Orleans memorabilia, medium lit, cozy (not large), with jazz music in the background. Service was attentive and friendly. They operated for 30 years at their old location. This location soft-opened on 2026-02-12. We came on 2026-02-25 for dinner. There were still some furnishings to complete (there were unforeseen delays). They kept the same menu offerings but it will be expanded within a month. We ordered the following: 1. Citra Terre D'Abruzzo Pinot Grigio - Italy (glass $14.95). 2. Coke. 3. Crab Cakes ($19.95). 4. New Orleans Shrimp Cocktail ($19.95). 5. Jambalaya Aranchini (weekly special). 6. Blackened Lamb Chops (weekly special). 7. New Orleans Fisherman's Plate ($39.95). 8. Pecan Pie warmed with Ice Cream ($14.95). 9. Bananas Foster ($14.95). 10. Beignet ($14.95). Every dish had an excellent presentation. We spent a lot of time taking photos and videos. What did you expect from me?! We loved all the dishes! The portions were large! There are more staff than in the previous location, allowing the service to be excellent. They tend to have many loyal and returning customers. Every table starts with freshly baked bread and butter. The bread was so fresh! The three appetizers tasted good. They each had a little kick due to creole cuisine. I loved the shrimp the most. The Blackened Lamb Chops was perfectly cooked. Each of the four pieces were very tender, accompanied by a delicious sauce. The dish had some very nicely cooked seasonal vegetables: roasted potatoes, a red pepper, string beans, a broccoli, and a carrot. This dish will be put into their regular menu in the near future. The New Orleans Fisherman's Plate is great if you want a little sampling of their seafood: Blackened Fish, Cajun Calamari, and Coconut Beer Shrimp. It also comes with rice and seasonal vegetables. The fish was so good! We brought some home for my mom and she really loved it. The Coconut Beer Shrimp was on top of a Orange Marmalade Sauce, which is really liked. The three desserts looked really good and tasted good. I loved the pecan pie the most. They can split dishes in half in the kitchen and serve them on two dishes for two people to share. The restaurant uses fresh seasonal ingredients and spices to create authentic Creole and Cajun tastes. Everything is made in-house except for bread and butter. In the near future, their bread will be made in-house too. Currently, there is only indoor dining but they are looking into the possibility of sidewalk outdoor dining. Mike Djurdjevic runs the front of the house while his wife, Mira Djurdjevic, operates the kitchen. Their son, Marko, also helps in the front of the house. There is a large pizza oven at the back of the restaurant. They will be introducing creole pizza in the near future. There is a separate large room for events, parties, etc. This room will be ready in the near future. They also do catering. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, but there is no door-open button. There is one gender-neutral washroom, which is also wheelchair accessible, and one female washroom. Thrre is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2026-037

    amazing burgers here. service is friendly. joint is clean. what is there to complain about?…read morewith how big the burger was and how loaded it was, i did not expect the bun to last. but man was i wrong, those buns held everything together in place til the last bite. i got the "z" burger and it was just a damn well made burger. on the side i got an order of poutine. haven't been to canada few times in my life, i've never had a dish of poutine that i actually enjoyed. until zeal's! fries were crispy, gravy was hot, and cheese curds hit. will be back if i'm ever in the area!

    Superb burgers. I tried their OZ burger which is the basic burger with crispy fried onion string…read more The patty was flavorful and juicy. I also got their Yukon fries which I absolutely loved neither super thin or thick just the perfect cut. I do recommend getting the Z sauce to add on the burger or just eat with the fries, really yum. I do want to try more of their burgers the next time I visit. You can either build a burger or go with their specialty burgers. Do checkout their menu. I came in after I had been hearing about them for sometime and I can say I left happy. If you're looking for a halal option this place has crispy chicken as an option but again pls ask before you order. The overall service was very good. My food came out in timely manner. The place is clean. There is seating at the location. There is limited parking.
