Zeitgeist Restaurant & Bar

We were big fans of the old Zeitgeist Restaurant and Bar so we wanted to give the new Zeitgeist Cafe a try. What a disappointment. Our enthusiasm for a return visit was heighten when we saw the French fries with truffle oil still on the menu. Our enthusiasm turned to dissatisfaction when they arrived limp and soggy. Our server brought a new serving without the truffle oil which wasn’t much better. Then our appetizer and entrees arrived. The pear tart was underwhelming. A small slice of pear in a burnt crust without an almond slice in sight. The highly recommended white fish was served on a luke warm bed of potatoes, carrots, and cauliflower. The open-faced chicken sandwich was okay, but nothing special. Given how small is the menu, one would expect all the entrees to be delicious. We hope our review will lead to improvements as we want to see this restaurant thrive. But they have work to do to regain our patronage.

Great service, huge portions, and really good food! We ordered a soup and a main each and were stuffed. Their wild rice and chicken and orange ginger carrot soups were hearty and fresh. The fish sandwich was so flavorful and came with the biggest side of fries. Bonus points for the great poster display outside the bathrooms. Definitely check it out!
