   The entire staff from welcome to leaving was beautiful. E celebrated a birthday and we were shared the full options for our first time Zenith Steakhouse dining experience. Kudos to the Chef’s and souse chef’s, ABBY our server was amazing and also other staff like Orlando were very cordial and friendly. We will definitely return.

   Very disappointed in the food at this restaurant. My friend and I wanted to experience a fine dining restaurant for the first time, we were on a road trip when we decided to try zenith. I gotten the Escargot for my starter and the Short Ribs my entree, my freind gotten calamari for her starter and the halibut for her entree. I have never tried escargot before but I have been curious about the flavor and texture of the ingredient and wanted to give zeniths dish a try. To say I was disappointed in the escargot dish zenith presented was an understatement, although the dish looked appetizing it lacked in flavor. I’m not experienced with escargot as an ingredient but I do know flavor and this dish is NOT it. I believe they need to rethink this dish maybe add other elements to it to up the flavor and maybe rethink their approach on how the escargot is prepared. It tasted like it was boiled in butter flavorless, no acidity to cut the fat in the dish or another element to take it away from the one note that it was and that note is butter, it was a dish of snails, mushrooms, bread and butter and that’s all you tasted nothing else. The short ribs tasted reheated the only thing that tasted remotely fresh was the vegetables on the side and they seemed like an afterthought when it came to seasoning. I believe the carrots need more caramelization and the broccoli didn’t go with the dish at all. My friend’s halibut was very dry, the rice that was served under the halibut was mushy and hard at the same time. Idk who the line cooks that worked that night or even if the chef was present to check the quality of the dishes before it was served. If there was a chef there that night and they allowed this type of quality to be served they shouldn’t be working in a fine dining establishment. The calamari and crème brûlée were the only highlights of the night the rest was a disappointment. I want to clarify the food wasn’t disgusting it was edible my friend and I did eat our meals.

   I am a former restaurantuer and well traveled diner. Hands down, this is the best steak to be found in Northern Arizona. Great ambiance. Great food. Solid service. If you're in the mood for a thick, juicy, fork tender steak at a real steakhouse vibe near Flagstaff, then this is the only choice.

   Food was amazing and service was great the food price was pretty pricy however the food was definitely worth the price, sides are big so I was pleasantly surprised would eat here again in the future.

   Amazing service! We were a bit late due playing at the tables too long but they were very accommodating and understanding. The service was beyond excellent, the food is probably the best you're going to get in northern Arizona, and they have a great selection of wines. Wish we could have tried the dessert or more sides but it's a lot of food and definitely great value.

   The steaks at Zenith were some of the best we’ve had in our travels across the country! The steakhouse has a nice, quiet, and relaxed atmosphere. My wife and I were very impressed with Orlando and his recommendations; he was spot on. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Flagstaff.

   Don’t waste your time or money. Advertises as a high end steakhouse but runs like a Waffle House. Service was adequate at best, but that is honestly giving praise where praise is not due. Food was abysmal. My steak came with a nice surprise (cooks hair). Another steak was well under cooked. The mashed potatoes were extremely bland, the creamed spinach was inedible. Asparagus was burned, but thankfully the wine list was decent and was able to keep the table liquid so the experience wasn’t completely ruined. Pass on this place and you will have a better experience at Denny’s. Very unfortunate Thanksgiving dinner.

    Manager Erin and Server Ni are really wonderful. We always request to have Ni as our server. His professionalism is way above what you can expect anywhere else, except in places where salads, entrees and deserts are prepared tableside. Menu is fabulous and the food is always prepared to incredibly high standards. Cloth tabletops and napkins are so rare nowadays. The setting is always soft and serene. Special nuances have always been remembered by Ni. We always feel like we were just there last week. And we used to be there twice a month. But inflation has taken our favorite restaurant off our choice of regular places. On fixed income, we just haven't been able to keep up with the radically increasing dining cost here. They do have the very best wine selections in all of Northern Arizona. Feels like we're dining in the Napa Valley of Nor Calif. For special occasions, we really don't have a #2 choice. Only one negative comment: refrain from ordering the escargot. We have had this appetizer at almost every high end restaurant from LA to SF to Chicago and NYC. This was the worst escargot I ever had. Other than that, you can trust everything on the menu. No joke. This place is beyond awesome. And Ni will leave you in awe of your tableside experience!
