I truly appreciated that kind and thoughtful gesture. The food was delicious as always.

I ordered the sausage egg and cheese biscuit which was huge! Also, I was pleasantly surprised that it also came with blackberry preserves. Everything was wonderful.

I got what I've had a few times that I really like the chicken tacos. It comes with some sort of corn slaw and black beans. My date got this steak frites. Both were very delicious. Our server was very attentive. I did not catch his name. He did say that the meatloaf there and his mom's meatloaf for his two favorites but we decided not to get the meatloaf. My boyfriend's son got the fish and chips and he really enjoyed that as well. I did visit the bathroom a few times and it was very clean. They had someone playing music on their guitar and they were really good again didn't catch his name either. It took me a few times to like this place, but I'm really enjoying it now if you're going to come on the weekends again, I suggest making a reservation.

I do have to say it's definitely a date night type restaurant, and worth going to. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was the amount of tv's in such a nice, yet expensive restaurant.

Fast-casual. Order at the front. The line at the front gets very scrunched up on weekend mornings. There was only one ordering kiosk open this past Sunday morning, and their didn't seem to be much fire in getting anybody seated quickly. Coffee is good, scrambled eggs satisfactory and came out hot. I must have my eggs HOT. The biscuits themselves are very good. The right amount of buttery flake and heft, but not too chewy. I ordered the egg plate and put my sausage patties and jam onto the biscuit for a little self-made sammy. The bruleed grapefruit was exactly as described: half a grapefruit with a hard sugar layer on top. It was good, and I love the opportunity to use some hyper-specific specialized silverware. I will now be brainstorming alternative uses for the grapefruit spoon. I worry this place is slightly overpriced and understaffed for weekends, but will definitely come back!

Overall, the menu is pretty expensive, with breakfast, lunch (pizza bagel, sandwich, wrap), and bakery options. I've typically only visited on Saturday mornings, so it is pretty busy. Around this time the line is typically out the door, but they move not super fast, but pretty fast. There is an indoor seating area, in addition to a smaller outdoor seating area with just a few tables. My only warning would be that the parking lot is shared across several businesses, so at least on Saturday mornings, it's crazy.

I also wish there were more variety and different options on the menu. Overall, while the service and atmosphere were nice, the food just didn't live up to expectations.

Let me start with the good for my Metro Diner pick up order (placed one online and one through…read moreDoorDash): Order was ready on time The hostess in the bright green shirt at the front was very friendly and assisted me quickly Chicken tenders, creole mustard, green beans and fries were the star of the show today. I haven't had their chicken tenders before, but now realize I prefer it over the standard fried chicken solely because the flavor profile is better (more seasoned). I would order this again. Salad for my steak tips was as expected. I also redeemed a birthday reward for the chocolate cake. The bite I took was pretty good and it is easily a sharable portion size. Now for the not so good... My order through metro diners website consisted of steak tips, mash&gravy, garden salad with ranch. I personally would not order this again. Issue: The steak was chewy, flavor was bland and portion size seemed small for the value. My DoorDash order consisted of 1. Bissell breakfast with pancakes, scrambled eggs, cheese grits, bacon and a biscuit. 2. Small sausage gravy side 3. Chicken tenders plate with creole mustard, green beans and French fries. Issue: I quickly glanced through the see through lid of the boxes and noticed toast instead of a biscuit and no container that would have had the cheese grits. Went inside to notify the team and expo of missing items (also brought the bag back in). The expo called for these missing items from the kitchen. The cook glanced and then asked if he had a ticket for that? I managed restaurants for years so I get it when the kitchen asks this, however, the ticket was the one you made incorrectly and the expo did not check for correctness. The expo also stated "it is for a DoorDash order that she said is wrong". I'm happy this was a personal order because I got to see firsthand how it appears DD order issues are dismissed since they seemed to assume I was a driver. At least that is how the short exchange presented. They weren't rude it was the tone and lack of apology for my missing items. Mistakes happen. How you respond to and handle them matters. Fast forward - I get home and realize they must have simply switched my order with someone else's. There were hash browns with cheese and diced tomatoes and scrambled eggs with cheese. Was not my order and could not eat this order. The pancakes were just okay. Tried the sausage gravy with the biscuit. Not something I would get again but this part isn't a reflection of Metro Diner. Ordered this just to try it since many rave about this southern combo. Let's just say there will be more for everyone else to enjoy.

There was a bit of a wait before my order was taken, but honestly, it worked out in my favor because it gave me plenty of time to look over the menu. There were so many tempting options that it was honestly hard to decide! I ultimately chose three items and enjoyed a few bites of each. Ham & Fontina Scone: This was my first time trying a scone, and I was pleasantly surprised. The texture reminded me of a dry biscuit, but the ham added a delicious savory flavor that I really enjoyed. Frittata Plate: The frittata was SO good! It wasn't too dry, and all of the flavors worked really well together. It was served with polenta, which reminded me of really fine grits, along with fruit. After trying it, I realized that one entrée would definitely be enough for me to enjoy on its own. Breakfast 'ZA: This was essentially a breakfast pizza topped with a fried egg, and the egg was such a nice touch. The 'ZA itself was really good, although I think adding something similar to a gravy or sauce would make it a little less dry. Even without it, though, the fried egg really took it to another level. Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso: I decided to try the Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso, which was the barista's pick. This was my first time having a shaken espresso, and I'm so glad I gave it a try! It was refreshing and perfect for a hot day. The inside of Trattoria ZaZa is nice, although it is somewhat small, so I opted to sit outside. It was a very warm day, but the awning provided plenty of shade and made the outdoor seating comfortable. I also appreciated that, even though the restaurant doesn't have traditional table service, someone periodically checked on me to make sure I didn't need anything else. Overall, I had a great brunch experience at Trattoria ZaZa. There were plenty of menu options, the food was flavorful, and I really enjoyed trying a few things that were new to me. I'd definitely be open to coming back and trying more of the menu!

I had the daily special, which was a broken lasagna. Also very, very good. Mixed greens on the side rounded out our table.

The store is a downtown casual vibe. We probably should've opted for outdoor seating, because the evening was so nice.
