Zephyr Grill & Bar

Dreadful place. This is one of, if not the, most expensive restaurant in Brentwood - which by any standard is a restaurant desert. Have been here many times and have no idea why we were so foolish as to return with an out of town guest today. Haste and lack nearby alternatives is my only defense. Drinks were expensive, but good. The goodness ended there. Our waitress seemed intent on rushing us. The restaurant was not busy at all. After making our appetizer order, we specifically asked her if we should wait before ordering our entrees. We wanted to take our time. She insisted that ordering everything at once was the way to do it. She said she would "hold" the entree order. The appetizers and entrees came about 3 minutes apart. No explanation. No apology. The waitress then proceeded to disappear. She never took ownership of the problem, even in the presence of the manager, who tried to make amends. Whose fault did she think it could possibly be, other than her own? Interestingly, poor service - we never got our food at all after 90 minutes - was a problem at its sister restaurant, Smith's Landing in Antioch. Seems this organization is inherently poor at management and table service. Food was disappointing, even at half price. Tasteless is a recurrent theme. The tuna tartare appetizer, sole and meatloaf entrees were all pretty tasteless. The coconut shrimp appetizer and short rib entree were both fair-to-good, but not worth the price. Three drinks, two appetizers and three entrees were about $160. Crazy for this quality anywhere, but especially Brentwood. There is no reason to ever go here.

The peach martini is amazing! One of my new favorite drink! Can't wait to go back for more. Plus the steak bites WOW!! It's full of flavor 🤤.

Better late than never?... I visited the Zephyr Grill & Bar back in July and I had an excellent experience but never got around to writing a review. ---- I came in looking for a place to work before a showing at The Delta theater nearby and, to the best of my abilities, I'll try to recall what I had. First up was a seasonal salad I had which blew me away; it was a cashew salad with an assortment of other veggies and ingredients, obviously, that I didn't even recognize but I do remember it tasting *different* than anything I had before and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Second thing I ordered was an alcoholic beverage, a cucumber margarita of sorts, that I finished up quick -- although I'm more of a vodka guy. All in all the food was great, service immaculate, and atmosphere calm. I look forward to visiting the Zephyr once again the next time I'm in Brentwood.

Great food and service, thank you very much! Hope that management could improve air-conditioning throughout entire restaurant - this way clients will stay longer !

The best experience of the evening. We were looking for great atmosphere, service, food and ambience. No disappointment here!! Our waiter Julian was the best. He made great suggestions and was very knowledgeable about the menu. Happy Hour choices were plentiful and well priced for the serving’s. Apps were on point and served quickly after placing our order. The main dish - everything from the steak to the pasta was served hot(steaming) with so much flavor. But the desserts were a great way to end our evening. Yes, you might pay a little more in price but it’s all well worth it. I will be returning..
