Editorial Review for Zon's – by Citysearch Staff
The Scene
A diverse clientele of couples and graduate-students fills the modern-gothic dining room to savor high-end comfort food. With a hipster soundtrack, bucketloads of flickering candles and stylish, tattooed waiters, this may be the coolest restaurant in town. The small bar is great for sampling from the adventurous wine list with an order of potato chips with caramelized onion dip (both homemade, both fabulous).
The Food
This is pure home cooking--if your mother was a world-class chef. Large plates of roasted-chicken pot pie and meatloaf are meals in themselves, while a delectable salad of baby spinach, grilled onions, crispy shallots and goat cheese is perfect for sharing. The burgers are phenomenal, thanks to seasoned, grass-fed beef and oven-roasted heirloom tomatoes. Three-cheese mac and cheese, served in a large crock with or without homemade sausage, will keep you smiling for days. Top desserts include ginger-pear cake and chocolate pumpkin-bread pudding.

I love Zon's. It's the best eatery in JP in my view. It's got great food, the Lamb Burger is great.. The Mac and Cheese is wonderful and the atmosphere is extremely cozy and inviting. It can get a little crowded on weekends, so get there sooner than later. But when I'm looking for comfort food, it's top notch, though, it can get pricey when you consider drinks. Overall, I highly recommend it and it's great to have in JP.
Pros: Great atmophere. Pleasant wait staff.
Cons: Sometimes crowded and can get pricey for burgers and comfort food.

The atmosphere is amazing and the food fresh and yummy. I am just disappointed that they took their vegetarian entree options off the menu. I don't like to just order sides! Vegetarians need comfort food too, and I get tired of just ordering mac and cheese. That said - the arugula salad is amazing!
