Fodor's Review:

Zeppa is Italian for "wedge," but you won't get the thin end here. Tapas-style dishes are served in this cavernous warehouselike space that, despite its size, is always lively. It's very popular with the after-work set and on a Friday and Saturday can be packed with people either on the way home from work, or on the way out to something. Mediterranean flavors come in dishes such as porcini-and-Parmesan risotto balls, and espresso-cured lamb loin with machiatto dressing—served on sweet-potato salad in a New Zealand twist—but Asian influences abound. Freshly smoked salmon with a lemon glaze and added zing of wasabi caviar is delivered to your table on its individual slab of cedar fresh from the hot plate. And the miso-cured pork on a salad of glass onion and sugar snap peas is inclined to be fought over.
