This place seems to be open all day. It is upmarket inside, with tablecloths and cloth napkins. I ate there two nights in a row, the food and service were excellent on both occasions, and the prices very reasonable. The menu is quite broad, and has a good selection of vegan/vegetarian options. Highly recommended.

The food was of poor quality. The price did not reflect the quality. I've been here before and some menu items seem more developed, and much better. But other items are just cheap and unappealing. I don't think I'll go back again unless the entire menu shows a bit of effort like the Sunday options. The food is cheap frozen food. The pizza was a cheap cheese pizza with about 4 slices of mushroom on. The roll was disgusting, cheap roll, poor quality ingredients. Not fresh. Like, Brakes food, the stuff that's bought in cheap by the vanful and is all processed. The soft drinks were about 3 pound each, it's honestly terrible. Why on earth did I eat there (I think now) it was worth of the bin most of it... As a restaurant you should take pride in food... Not serve processed crap... Stop calling yourself a restaurant until you show pride in what you serve, or next time, I will refuse to eat and pay for it if it's terrible... Just wasn't worth it, we're disappointed.

If you want good food in a nice setting with happy customers Then give this place a very wide birth!!! We have been to Cafe Zoot in the past and enjoyed the meals very much. After this evening offerings we will never return there again. The so called vegan Shepherds Pie had as much texture as wallpaper paste, and tasted barely more appealing. As for the Ale tasting gravy…. there are no words . A sloppy offering of something pretending to be a cheesecake to finish. Yuk is all I can say. There were people rightfully complaining about their meals on every side of our very small cramped room. There must be much better places to eat in Lincoln than this Don’t waste your money and insult your tastebuds by using this once very good place to eat. Sadly no more.

went here for valentines dinner today, the menu was set which was not stated on the website but it’s not the issue. The issue was the food. It was cold, completely unseasoned and burnt. the chicken was chewy, bland and burnt throughout. It tasted like it was a microwave aldi meal. We are also now both left with very bad stomach pain and diarrhoea! Wasted over £60 for a meal for two people and left deeply disappointed as that is a lot of money. Called the manager after as it was busy and the staff were running around after other guests so we did not want to bother them and the manager was quite rude but offered to give me a phone call to speak about the situation tomorrow. deeply disappointed and regretful as this was a special occasion for my partner and i.

On Christmas Eve my family took me to Cafe Zoot for breakfast. The service was great and friendly. I had a full english breakfast which was lovely and I asked for poached eggs which were perfectly cooked. We all enjoyed our breakfast at Cafe Zoot and certainly would like to go again. Highly recommend for a great breakfast with great service. Thank you Cafe Zoot for making my birthday breakfast so special.

Friendly , attentive staff who are very professional, honestly they are a credit to their profession. However the food was probably below average in my opinion , the chips were dreadful - just heated frozen chips and the pie I had was very bland. A real shame but I’ve still awarded a reasonable score just because the waiting staff were so accommodating.

Nicely decorated, a table was quickly found for us. Then we waited and waited to be served. I saw plates of food coming to other people and thought they looked small. When ours arrive, the sandwiche was tiny and served with chios that I hadn't asked for. They for said all the sandwiches were served with chip. When I completed about the size of the sandwiches, the waiter said that was the size of the ciabbata, he said that's what the got from the supplier.

I ordered a Lasagne, which came floating in a bland tomato sauce. The size was nearly 4X4 inches... That's all. They charged£15.95 for the pathetic dish. Who the hell serves a wet Lasagne without chips/salad/ garlic bread.!!!! Really disappointed with the food. Worst part was I took my very dear friends from down south... They were appalled too.

Teníamos un pan de ajo para acompañar estos que era fantástico, la base era suave por dentro y crujiente por fuera. Para nuestro plato fuerte teníamos el Calzone Carne.
