Review: Zealous
This sleek restaurant is a showcase for chef/owner Michael Taus' impressive cooking. Set in a former River North warehouse, Zealous has a glass-enclosed wine cellar with 750 selections, and a chef's table where guests dine amid a grove of bamboo trees. Zealous also specializes in private and corporate events.
