What People Are Saying About Les Zygomates Wine Bar Bistro

The Scene – Flavored vodka cocktails may be on the rise, but this casual wine bar/bistro keeps the faith for grape lovers. Artists, coders and other hip Leather District cognoscenti come to sip, sup and listen to live jazz. Suburbanites drop by for steak frites before catching the commuter rail, while neighborhood night owls slip in later for music. Top-flight waiters can explain any dish. – – The Food – Expect straightforward, well-executed bistro fare: Sliced smoked-duck breast and toothy green lentils add complexity to fresh, tangy salad and sliced potato and…

Another case of the missing/very spacey waitor

by walle52

After reading the review about the missing waitress, I had to comment on a recent dinner at Les Zygomates. Waitor was prompt with first drink request but then went missing for a while prior to checking in to take our order. We awaited our apps and about 10 minutes later the waitor came back and apologized that he was having a really busy night and needed to take our order again!! He seemed quite scattered. So much so that he failed to bring one of the apps. Food was average with highlights being the hanger steak frites and the rabbit. The food was just okay and combined with the service will not pull me back any time soon with so many other options within a short walk. Busboy was very attentive and like other reviews even had to get the waitor for us. Bus boy service 5 stars, waitor 1 star!

The strange case of the disappearing waitress...

by MaxMurphy

Went there with friends last night. The French hostess was fabulous and made a lot of effort to seat us a great table. She was really nice and very professional. Prompt service initially for wine and apps but then our waitress seemed to just disappear at one point. We were all engrossed in a good conversation so at first no one noticed but then one of my dinnermates said "Hmmm... what happened to the waitress? We haven't ordered our entrees yet." More time passed, we finally had to ask the busboy to send someone over to take our order. After another wait, a new waitress appeared and took out orders. Food was served quickly and it was all very good but the second bottle of wine took forever to get to our table. So who knows, maybe the first waitress got sick or had an emergency and had to leave. We would definitely go back -- loved the jazz... food was very good... service was a little off.
