I only been to Radius cafe for lunch, so can't compare directly, but recently I went to an impromptu dinner at Zare after an event downtown, and our meal was great. The last time I'd been was a couple years back, and though I remember the food being good, the dining room was pretty empty both at lunch and dinner, but this time there were quite a few business-type dinners that seemed to be happening around us, Yelp execs, and people still in their work-week suits.
Parking seems like it would be easier around Radius, if that's a concern, but Zare is easier to BART/Muni. To me, Zare's small and share-able plates make sharing a communal meal with a group a better bet than ordering an entree per person, which seems to be what Radius offers.
