We thought this place would be interesting, since it was like eating in a thrift shop. At first, having the 10 year old daughter wait on us was cute, until we were waiting over an hour for our food. I asked for kalmata olives 4 times and never got them. My friend ordered the jumbalaya and asked for spicy as... more

Zante Cafe is a one of a kind experience you don't wanna miss! Chef Brad knows how to feed his customers- and feed them well! Everything from the garlic bread, crawfish crepes, gumbo, crabcakes, etouffee, stuffed chicken over bacon & cheese grits, and bananas foster were simply amazing! We can't wait to go back to try his other culinary magic!... more

As soon as we stepped through the door we knew we were in for an experience. We originally thought we may have wandered into the storage warehouse for a deranged magpie. The decor and atmosphere were amazing - thousands of old knick-knacks and other worthless pieces of crap, artfully piled to create un-navigatable channels of sticky carpet leading to various... more

We stopped in to Zante Cafe for lunch last week. As soon as we stepped through the door we knew we were in for a treat. The decor and atmosphere were amazing - thousands of antiques and treasures artfully arranged to create the most amazing dining room we'd ever seen. We were seated by a dapper young man and served... more

My wife and I along with our daugher had dinner at Zante's Saturday evening. We had originally asked for 6 or 6:30 but were told they were booked. We took 5:30 and the chef's wife even suggested maybe 5:15. We did get there at 5:20 and she acted like we were imposing and unwelcome. The outside of the (junk store... more

The flavors were outstanding. The best meal we've had in a long time. The food was prepared with loving care. We would plan a trip to Tarpon Springs again only if we could eat at Zante. It was a wonderful experience. more
