Zelko Bistro

Description:

• Dining at Zelko is like being at a fabulous dinner party at a friend's Heights bungalow. Fresh, local food with a chef's flare is perfectly paired with well-priced wines. The restaurant is filled with homey charm, lively conversation, and nothing pretentious. The menu is something special though, with hearty, flavorful options that change with the seasons. The parmesan truffle fries are not to be missed. The Mediterranean-style bruscetta is a surprise, with hummus, feta, olives, and more, layered on fluffy pita bread. Succulent St. Arnold's braised short ribs are dying to be dipped into the accompanying cheddar polenta. For a special treat try the piping hot funnel cake, or a cheese plate with homemade preserves. -Gemma Amato
