half and half. my boyfriend and i decided to try zen one friday evening as our weekly date night. the outside of the building is a little... sketch.. but it's really quite lovely once you get inside. we sat in the dining area, but we had a decent view of the bar area as well.
pros: the sushi was wonderful!! we ordered one of the nightly specials, the hurricane roll. i don't remember all of the components, to be honest, but it did have apples in it. it sounded strange and interesting, so we just had to try, and we were so, so glad we did.
theservicewas really good, too. our waitress checked on us regularly without being hovering.
cons: we also each ordered an entree dish. i had the thai basil, and my boyfriend had one of the chef's special dishes (i don't remember which one). neither were impressive.
the place was mostly empty, too. it was fairly early, i guess, but i'd expect something to be a little more hopping on a friday evening.
all-in-all, i enjoyed the experience, and will be returning, but only for the sushi.
