We all had high hopes for Zely and Ritz, but it was just disappointing. Let?s start with the fact that it is expensive. So when I spend nearly $300 for dinner for 4, particularly in Raleigh, I expect to be wowed. Without giving a blow by blow, (and much of it blew) the food was adequate at best. The sides were decent, but at $9 a pop they should be. If they are going to charge that kind of money, what?s coming out of the kitchen should be so much better. Perhaps we caught them on a bad night, but if you are going to charge that much for small portions, you better not have an off night.
Instead go to Poole?s Diner or Bloomsbury Bistro or go to El Rodeo ten times.
Zely?s the Pitz. I'm only sorry we didn't read the recent reviews before going there.
