On any given day the menu might include muscovy duck, quail, rack of lamb and some excellent fresh seafood. A tasty tomato bread is invariably included on the sampler plate, and Zappas Tapas is one of the few items that doesn't seem pricey. It's more petite than jumbo. The cake is average and the basil mayonnaise offers little assistance. Garlickey eggplant, pickled onions and black olives topped with a rosemary sprig accompany slices of beef sliced so thin that it's amazing they could be arranged on the plate.
Entrees come with a salad of mesclun greens with a sweet vinaigrette and hints of parmesan cheese.
At one visit it was excellent, other times only so-so. Entrees are generally successful. Everything was done nicely, though the chop should have been cooked to order. Though the rack included just three ribs, there was an ample amount of succulent meat, served a perfect rare. The combination works very well.
