"We decided to try Zoe while staying at the Four Seasons. The restaurant exceeded our expectations in every way. The food was outstanding; the grilled octopus was tender and some of the best I’ve ever had. The sea bream was delectable. The service was fantastic and super friendly. I would go back any time. If I could give six stars I would."
