..I have eaten at Zahav many times from 2015 through early 2020 (pre-pandemic). It has not continued to get better and better in my estimation since 2015. I will sum up my impression in one sentence-WAY TOO MUCH FOOD.Sounds like I'm nuts, right? Trust me; I'm sane. A lot of Americans still equate massive amounts of food as a good dining experience. Realistically you can only eat so much before reaching a point where you are no longer eating for taste and enjoyment. You are simply eating because it's in front of you and you paid for it. The house cocktails here are original and well done. Highly recommend the Lemonnana and the Z&T. Course #1-The Beginning. The laffa bread is sublime. Every time I've come here, I've seen Mike Solomonov in the open kitchen, making laffa. As a chickpea hater, the warm hummus accompanying the laffa is the only hummus I'd ever care to eat given a choice. That schlubby beige stuff in the gorcery store deli case? Get it away from me-it's wall paper paste. By the way, you are not served heaping amounts of appetite quashing bread at this course.Course #2-The salatim is a selection of 6 vegetable "salads." They change from time to time but often feature carrots, eggplant, cauliflower and other vegetables elevated to new heights due to skillful preparation. By this stage of dinner, I am starting to get full-but look! Mezze is on the way. Course #3-Mezze selections also change on a fairly regular basis. I tried duck hearts as a mezze for the first time at Zahav. They were exquistely prepared and presented. I doubt I'd ever eat them elsewhere but I am glad to have tried them here. *urp* 3 more courses to go. By now, I am ready for some sparkling mineral water, loosening my belt and taking a brisk walk outside for about 30 minutes as opposed to consuming more food but here comes the al ha'esh. A thought, as I try to get comfortable in my seat; no matter how slowly one eats, one can only eat and enjoy so much at one sitting.Course #4-I believe March 2023's al ha'esh selections are a fish dish and chicken skewers. I've never had an unsatisfying meal here but at this juncture in the evening, I feel more dread than anticipation at being able to fully enjoy whatever is coming next. As I said earlier-too much food. In the words of Van Morrison-"On and on, over the hill to..." the entree. Course #5-For some time, the entree choice has been either lamb (ugh-no thanks) or a vegetarian dish. By now, more than anything, I'd really like to have a bitter digestif or a strong mint tea and my check so I can stroll down to the waterfront, think about my meal and contemplate life. Instead, because I have slogged through the arduous reservation process and paid for an enormous, too enormous, prix fixe meal, I am trapped here at this table for more courses. Could I ask to have the last 2-3 courses boxed up? No doubt I could, but then I lose out on the "full" (in more ways than one) Zahav experience. I would have been happily content to call it a night after the al ha'esh course. I'd feel sated in the sense that my money was wlsely spent and that I'd eaten well. Course #6-Dessert comes and it could be anything but no matter what it is, it would no longer have the ability to whet my excessively appeased appetite, couldn't arouse my burnt out taste buds or ease my overly full belly. Way too much food. How I wish Zahav served a la carte as well as prix fixe or offered a bar only salatim and drinks option. Don't let my review stop you from dining here. The food is interesting-but it's too much food. Too much of a good thing is really not a good thing, no matter who is in the kitchen.
