One of the most exceptional dining experiences I’ve had in Tel Aviv. From the moment we arrived, the owner was gracious and attentive, setting the tone for a truly refined evening. The service was polished yet warm, and the food was outstanding, beautifully presented, thoughtfully prepared, and memorable.
A 4.3 rating is honestly shocking and misleading for a restaurant of this caliber. This is a place I would confidently recommend to anyone looking for an upscale, high end dining experience in Tel Aviv. Absolutely worth a visit.
Half of the dishes on the menu where not available.
What was available was really tasty.
The waiter in charge tried to correct the unpleasant event and offered us a dessert.
The quality of the service was unequal and we stayed a long time with empty dishes on the table.
Staff are nice and the place looks amazing. Price are a bit expensive and lots of food in their menu are unavailable, though.
We ate 2 sets of Dragon Ball, White Fish Ceviche, Salmon Sashimi and 1 bowl of duck ramen. Total bill was: 515nis including 15% tip
Zo tlv is one of the best restaurants I’ve been too! The food was incredible- like lick the plate clean incredible. The owner is the nicest guy and the service was great!! We’ll definitely be back when I come back to israel!
Overall, we really enjoyed ourselves. The restaurant is very beautiful and the food is very tasty. The menu is a bit ordinary — there’s nothing particularly unique that we haven’t seen in other Asian restaurants, but the dishes are very delicious.”
