Ristorante Zebra - REHOBOTH BEACH

A former favorite that has lost its charm. The food quality has declined and the service is inconsistent and inadequate. There are better dining options nearby.

Zebra has been a popular summer dining spot for years, known for consistently delicious food. However, our recent experience was marred by poor service from the moment we arrived. Despite being on time for our reservation and the restaurant not being busy, we were ignored by the manager and host who were discussing another reservation. No one greeted us or acknowledged our presence, and we were left waiting for 10 minutes before a server finally realized we were there. The appetizers were tasty, but the lack of attention continued with our entrees. The server struggled to find a place to place our plates and utensils were not refreshed. The service only improved when the check arrived, but by then, it was too little too late. As frequent diners who appreciate good food and service, we were disappointed by our experience at Zebra. We hope they can improve their customer greeting and overall service in the future. Good luck.

The prix fixe menu was good, but there was only one option for dessert. This led to many people around us ordering from the set menu, which may have been intentional. Some dishes were too heavy on garlic, which was unnecessary. The fish and calamari were very fresh and prepared well. The calamari in the seafood salad was delicate, but once again, the garlic was overpowering. The service was decent, but not very attentive, and we were unsure who our server was as they changed during our meal.

They are too big for their britches. many other amazing decisions in the opposite with the service excluded. it was empty and they pretended to do us a favor by moving our table.

Although , the food is consistently very good and the service is attentive. The noise level tends to be on the loud side. It wouldn’t be my first choice for a quiet dinner.
