I don't get it. They buy an old restaurant, don't change anything and invite the paper to write about the same old thing? What is special about using the other guys menu and only offering something new once a week? Sounds kinda stupid. After re-reading, it seems she liked a few items; the soup, ravioli, dessert, the artichokes minus the dip oh and the service. This aint a franchise, they don't have to keep the same menu. Why so sensitive? Haha It's like wearing a hand-me-down prom dress and asking everyone "How do I look?" Well you look old and out of date. Retract the claws!!!
Although I have not tried this restaurant, I do believe that everyone is entitled to an opinion. George, we are glad to hear that you enjoy the food at La Zingara, but to criticize someone because they share their opinion is a bit childish don't you think. The owner of the restaurant agreed with some of Monika's comments so maybe you should read the article again, then make a comment.

Re: “Almost fine dining”
Okay, as an avid reader of the indy, and especially the food restaurant reviews, I wonder why foodjunkie thinks that the reviewers are only attacking Palmer Lake restaurants. I have read his/her comment about La Zingara and now this one. This person just enjoys seeing his/her words on screen, attempting to put someone else's work down. What does this person do other than criticize someone else's opinion? If it weren't for everyone having an opinion, then he/she would have absolutely NOTHING to say. Just a word to the wise, before you post to the indy, foodjunkie, proofread your statements, "I have noticed in California and NY lots of restaurants going to this method for costs, not having to hire a person specializing in desserts, and for flexiblty." Flexibilty is misspelled.
