Zohra's Lakeside Restaurant

Good: The Osso Bucco Short Ribs-YUM!. Bad: Absolutely nothing. Seriously nicest place I have ever dined at period.. Improvements: Wow, these people are doing it right hate to tell them anything differntly. Maybe add espresso.. Other: You will enjoy. We have been several times for dinner and loved how the pace of the restaurant was. Never feel rushed encouraged to enjoy the evening.. more

We too had our Christmas luncheon here and had a great experience! I think the previous post was likely uneducated about food or cheap and doesn't like to pay the price for great food. The service was nice. Was it busy sure but they were accomodating to our group. We went back in this week not as busy as the Christmas time and obviously the staff had more time to chat which was nice. I hate when people review places on one visit. Take into consideration circumstances and go back. Would you like your job or work proformance based on one day? You think just because you have a keyboard and internet you can judge people. I would love to go post about your company and how lacking you are! GROW UP! There are few nice restaurants in Lakeland why run one down just for your own enjoyment! Thank you Zohra's for doing what you do each day to open up and make it happen. Ignore the ignorant who are likely just not educated in the right way manners or knowledge! more

Good: it was cute, delicate setting.. Bad: service was horrible seated but never greeted never ask what we wanted to drink someone came around w/ tea pitchers and ask if we wanted that. anyone who didn't take it was never asked what they wanted we had to ask. appetizers they forgot and didn't get until after our salads, salad was limp. food took forever and came out cold. we all left hungry i ordered a $15 steak it was the size of a post it w/ rice pilaf lol no it was like curry rice and gross. 2 1/2 hours for LUNCH!. Improvements: i will never be back to care but id say everything especially the service they were rude and totally unwelcoming. Ive been places where the food might take a while and that's fine but you have got to be nice and accommodating to your customers and they were everything but!. Other: server was rude never came back and checked on us never refilled drinks. we didn't get bread until we got our appetizers!! this place is way over priced for what u are actually getting. the place is kinda fancy the servers nothing fancy about them not one smile or nice face everyone looked dead and just needing to get us over and out the door. EXTREMELY UPSET.....this was our business Christmas lunch....we are now contemplating having another one because our lunch was just horrible!!!. more
