In Short
During the day, the brick and periwinkle-and-muted-yellow interior is filled with lunching masses. At night, a homey warehouse vibe prevails, with a DJ spinning chilled lounge grooves from the mezzanine. Beneath skylights and original art prints, the main floor features a long wooden banquette running the left side of the room; a small back bar and various seating options are also sprinkled throughout--including a couple small leather couches.

The only way I'd go to zebulon is for a private party. I went one night for something and it was bootsy!!! Too many people you couldn't walk around, get drinks, use the bathroom. We ended up leaving to go to another spot. It's great though to rent out. You can bring food.. It's actually a nice place.

I'd give this place 5 stars if they would change their very strange way of serving food. You order your meal and they give you a numbered card on a tall metal stand. When your food is ready, they bring it to your table. Trouble is, your food can arrive anywhere between 3 and 30 minutes after you order, and they make no effort to coordinate the delivery to an entire table. I went there today with 3 friends, who were all served within 10 minutes of sitting down. My order was delayed for some reason, even though I went up to the cashier to complain. After 30 minutes my friends were done eating and ready to go, and I still hadn't been served. I went to complain a second time... finally they brought my food out, but I had to leave. In fairness to them, they did offer to box it to go, but that didn't work for me so I just told them to dump it. No apology, no explanation, no offer to refund. They were utterly apathetic. I won't be back.

I came here for lunch and LOVED the atmosphere and vibe. The superhigh ceilings, weird art, indoor plants, and well-placed seating make it a perfect place to relax and meet up with people. It seems like the perfect place to grab drinks, and apparently gets hopping after work - I definitely want to come back for happy hour. We got the sweet-potato fries, which were unbelievably good, but my turkey sandwich was BAD. The turkey was dry and old, and the bread was soggy - I could seriously have made a much better sandwich at home. Still, I'd be up for trying other things on the menu.
