Food was absolutely delicious, drinks were cold & fresh. We sat at the bar & the waiters & kitchen staff were nothing but pleasant, friendly, professional & full of good recommendations. Laurent was super helpful with great suggestions & made our special night memorable. 11/10,will come back
This is a pretty nice spot. My gf & I came through for a quick drink. We had the halloumi fries (which aren't actually fries but were delicious nonetheless), & since cocktails. I loved the decor, really great vibe. The server was very nice. The only thing off was the price but not the biggest bill I have ever had. I would recommend!
We came to Zibo for a friends bday. Overall the service was great when we arrived, taking our drink orders promptly. When it came to the food orders, it just took a really long time to get organized & take the order, & obviously because we were a big group we didn't eat until 2h30 hours after we arrived. Our platter was delicious! The meat was a bit cold when it arrived but overall the quality of the food for the price of the platter was very good!
Food was really good, is a shame because the servers were inattentive & did not bring my wife her second drink after more than 10 minutes of waiting. On the bright side I got to make this cool little guy out of pizza crust. But then the server who picked up the plate made him fall apart & that isn't acceptable.
Visiting from out of town & we stopped here for some drinks & appetizers before meeting up with friends. Vincent was our waiter & recommended a couple appetizers to us that were absolutely amazing (the beef carpaccio & halloumi frites). I also ordered the spicy margaritas & it was super delicious. Service was quick & friendly.
This was a very last minute dinner but it was very good! We got 3 appetizers: calamari, warm brie & the chicken dumplings & they were all so amazing, especially the calamari. For our main meals I got the shrimp pizza, & my friends got the mac n cheese, lobster & shrimp fettucini pasta, & the Caesar salad with grilled salmon & none of us had any complaints!! Our waiter was super nice & even gave me & my friend drinks for free! The service wasn't the best though but they were about to close so we understood.
Amazing option in Griffintown, just wish they didnt discontinue their 1$ Oyster promo, thats why we always went, & we ended up drinking & eating more :)

Drinks are decent but food is not great, I had low expectations but it is really average, like supermarket pasta sauce & overcooked pasta.
Service needs a lot of improvement. We had 3 different waiters in a period of 2 hours, the place was not busy but even then, we asked for things & they never came until we asked twice. Music was very loud so it’s possible they didn’t really hear us properly.
I’ve been to Zibo! at other locations & this one has been the worst
The place has a great atmosphere, nice layout & design & the servers are doing a great job...attentive & quick with serving food, filling up water etc. Unfortunately the food was a bit of a hit or miss....we had great apps, calamari & wings, but the pizzas were a huge disappointment. Dry, salty (feta cheese) & stingy with the main ingredients (dry small shrimp/small dry cubes with chicken). Also, the wine selection was comme si, comme ca. Wine/beer/drink prices are at the high end for value...14 dollars for a glass of half-decent red wine (quite sure it was not California wine, despite the branding of the restaurant)...Overall, I might go back sometime, just for the location, ambiance & service, but on the other hand....with so many restaurants in Montreal...probably moving on.
All in all a decent visit. Great atmosphere & good food but poorly trained staff. We had a total of two different employees come to our table a total of three separate times with plates of food & drinks that we didn't order.

Went there for drinks with a friend on a Tuesday at 6 pm. Please note that if you don't sit at the bar, you will have to order an appetizer in order to have a drink. We ordered two appetizers- the calamari & the tartare. Both were just ok. Calamari has to be the tiniest size I've ever seen. Wine list was decent. However, given that I can get decent wine & much better calamari in many places in Montreal, I will not be returning. Service was fine but place was pretty empty.
I have a friend who insisted we go to Zibo! after our last midterm this semester. The 5 à 7 vibe was really nice. We had a couple appetizers with our drinks & they were all great. Will definitely go back.
