We had a wonderful dinner to celebrate the life of my dear Suzy Q. This was her favorite restaurant and we had her favorite wine and pear pie. Excellent place to dine and remember good friends with great food and service. Thanks Hector

We love Cafe Zack! Both the food and service and wine list are just wonderful. It's a fairly small place so consider making reservations.They also do takeout.

Had a lovely evening enjoying a delicious meal and wine in their new outdoor patio. We had the veal piccata and duck. You can't go wrong with Cafe Zack.

My Filet mignon was premier to all high end chain restaurants. Beautiful pepper corn sauce. My only slight critic, upgrade the knives.
