      <![CDATA[EastNashvilleBikeGuy says:<br />
While we are all lamenting the demise of Zola and celebrating the owners bon voyage off into the sunset, let's also take a moment to lament the 15-20 employees who found out yesterday, just as you did with no advance warning, that they are losing their jobs.<br />
____________________________________________<br />
_____________________________________________<br />
A large part of making this announcement 6 weeks prior to actually closing was to protect and help the staff have time, with the complete support of Zola management, to find future employment.<br />
Top people who work at Zola will be wanted at the competition and in the meanwhile will have what everyone hopes is an uplifting experience through the end of the year and into the end of an era.<br />
At the end it's all about the people.<br />
Smart restaurant owners out there start shopping for key staff available 1/18/10

      <![CDATA[I agree with TobintheGnome - the few times I was there, the service was beyond slow and the food was not worth the wait. IMHO this place has always been in the Pancake Pantry/Loveless category of once great (maybe)but the reputation just stayed on and on.
