Like Sal & Carvao, the Brazilian churrascaria that once occupied this space, ZED has roots in the one-price, all-you-can-eat Brazilian tradition. Though the chef-servers don't don cheesy gaucho garb, they still walk from table to table with skewers of meat until you beg them to stop. Options include buttermilk-marinated bottom sirloin and goat cheese-crusted rack of lamb and seafood selections such as citrus salmon. The enormous "Harvest Tables" are stocked with charcuterie and artisan cheeses, as well as salads and sides. The splashy two-story space offers a focal-point fire pit, double-sided fireplaces, hand-finished wood floors and plenty of leather. There's an open kitchen with counter seating, a wine bar and a lounge stocked with house-infused fruity vodkas and more. Other amenities include a luxe seasonal rooftop deck with its own bar and an a la carte menu of affordable bar bites (called the "cravings" menu) priced between $4 and $15, plus there's fireplace and a glass-roof clerestory so you can peer into the main lounge below.

Had a party of 12 for dinner tonight. The food is mediocre at best. Food and drink service at the table is painfully slow. There are plenty of bet...

Zed451 is a terrible addition to this area! The resturant/bar itself is fine, it's the evil bouncers and staff! Seriously, who has a line to get in...

I enjoy most any type of place. Some of these spots are fancy and well known, others are hidden dive gems. Some are new as well, and I'm lovin it baby.
