Finally an Unpretentious Wine Bar!!
Reviewed By nim Aug 20, 2007
Tags: Wine Bar Live Jazz Combo

I've lived in the city for a year now and haven't been all that blown away by the restaurant scene here. I met a friend for the wine tastings at Les Zyg and decided to stay for dinner afterwards and I have to say, I am finally impressed! This place is great--it's hip, got great ambiance and is unpretentious! They have a ton of wines for tastes and glasses and the bartenders are totally cool and want you to explore it. The live jazz has no cover--hello? Where else do you find that except at dinghy little Wally's? The food was really good too--nothing crazy, but straight-forward bistro food. Great pate, great escargot and awesome house made charcuterie.
I'm psyched.

"Les zygomates is the French expression for the muscles on the human face that make you smile -- and this combination wine bar-bistro inarguably lives up to its name, with quintessential French bistro fare that is both simple and simply delicious. The menu..."

"Les Zygomates could easily get by on looks alone; the zinc bar, red banquettes and vintage posters are just that stylish. But as long as Ian Just is the chef-owner, it won't be lacking for substance either...."
