My friends and I visited on a Saturday night for dinner and live music. Zero's entrance and parking lot was located around the left side of the Ramada Inn. No charge to park and plenty of spaces available. Upon entering you have a choice whether to sit on the pub side or the dining area side. This offers a nice choice for when families or hotel patrons want some space from the bar scene, or have the music a little less loud so you can have a conversation. The dining side also had 3 pool tables. We noticed an additional room in the rear that had another 3 tables and looked like it could be the perfect space to rent out for a private party. The decor in here is quite fun. It's got a Halloween/Nightmare Before Christmas vibe, decked with many sarcastic signs that make you giggle.
We arrived around 6pm, an hour before the band was set to play. That was enough time to get us a table big enough for 5 people. We sat and waited a while before going to the bar and asking if we were suppose to order up there. We were told there was a waitress that would come around. After about another 20 mins of sitting, the bartender noticed we still hadn't been greeted by a waitress so she came over and took our drink order herself. Another 10 minutes went by (now about 30 mins total) and the waitress came up to take our meal order. She was very bubbly and fun, but clearly could have used more help. The food took a long time to come out, maybe another 30 mins? So at this point we had been there an hour. My fungi burger was cooked perfectly (medium). It was very juicy and tender. The chicken tenders were some of the biggest I've ever seen. Each tender had to be close to a whole breast! We were all happy with our meals. The Covertones played some great jams while we were there. It was really nice to enjoy some live music without having to deal with going in-town or paying a cover charge. Pros: loved the decor, the band was great, the food was yummy and cleverly named on the menu and there was more there was a good amount of pool tables. Cons: There wasn't a ton of variety on the menu (mostly burgers and tenders, with a stir fry dish added in there) and the kitchen & service (although we loved our waitress) was soooooo slow. We were there from 6-9 and only managed to have two adult beverages because of the wait time. Speaking of, I had two twisted teas and they charged $7 EACH! That's a bit much. I also noticed on the bill that they offer a small discount if you pay in cash. read more
