Zinfandel Grille - SacramentoZin Grill, yumSecond or third time at Rancho Cordova Zin Grill, lamb was cooked to a perfect medium rare and melted in your mouth. If the corn chowder is available, order it. Smoky ham, chunks of red potatoes and corn was a great balance in a light creamy broth. Chicken stuffed with spinach was tasty, not overcooked with a pleasant mushroom sauce. Wine by the glass very reasonable, service was very, very nice.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMMother's Day BrunchWe had a wonderful brunch from start to finish. Great service, great food, not too crowded and no wait.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMMother's Day EventWhat could have been a dining experience from H---, was from Heaven! I hate "Special Days" in restaurants, expect so-so food, fair to non-existent service, plus long waits and more ambient noise than a airport runway! None of this was experienced on Mother's Day! We did experience wonderful food, wonderful service, relative quiet, and an experience you could only hope for, but never get!
We had ample portions of food, nicely plated, and wonderfully served. My Prime Rib dinner was exceptional not only in size but flavor and tenderness. My wife's Kobe Steak and Mushrooms was exquisite in tenderness and taste. Desert was a shared Creme Brûlée, so rich it could only be shared! I recommend the Zinfandel Grille of Sacramento to all my friends!5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMMother's Day brunchMy family took my mom to Zinfandel Grill for Mother's Day and she absolutely loved it. I researched different venues for Mom's Day and based on price and reviews, I picked Zinfandel. I wasn't disappointed. They treated my family great, the food was awesome and the restaurant had a nice cozy atmosphere to it. We will be coming back.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMAs always the Z Grille comesAs always the Z Grille comes through. Food was very good and our server was outstanding. I am glad to see the new menu.

My somewhat large party was seated immediately in front of a huge line of people waiting for brunch Easter morning. Food was very good. The salad with walnuts and bleu cheese, the peel & eat shrimp, the salmon and the carnitas were all excellent, and the rest very good. Service was very attentive despite the huge crowd. Will definitely be back next year and planning to check it out on a normal day, too.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMCall for a good time!Made a reservation for two to celebrate my girlfriends birthday. This has become a yearly tradition and so far I have never been anything but impressed. Everything on the menu is high end but still very reasonably priced! We had an appetizer, starter salad, entrees, dessert, and multiple cocktails/glasses of wine.. All for $100.
We were seated immediately when we walked through the door, the staff is awesome all the way around. The hostess was friendly, the server assistant very attentive to refilling beverages and bread. Our server was professional, energetic, very knowledgable and made great recommendations on the menu leaving us feeling great about the whole evening. We were even thanked by the management staff at the front door.3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMThe overall experience wasThe overall experience was excellent along with the food being spectacular!!!3/28/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food and serviceHave been here once before and had a good meal so we decided to try it again.
The food was excellent and did not disappoint. we had the Scallops, Ahi Tuna, Lamb Shank which was falling off the bone.
I made a special request regarding my meal and it was delivered as requested so any special orders are verified with the kitchen and then delivered as requested so there is no disappointment.
I highly recommend this place for special occasions and if possible happy hour on the weekends between 4:30 and 6:30 P.M.3/24/2013 12:00:00 AMI love dining at the ZinfandelI love dining at the Zinfandel Grill and it has become my go-to restaurant on theater nights! The food is consistently excellent and I live the music in the background. A wonderful place to dine!3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMBetween my ex wife of 42 years,Between my ex wife of 42 years, and now my girlfriend of 3+ years, we have eaten at Zinfandel Grill over 30 times -- each time was excellent. Maybe change the menu a little more often would be nice. And place Crab Lasagna on the menu once in a while, plus country rabbit (not around Easter of course). these items were on the menu once upon a time, and were great. Also your Clam chowder is the BEST in the area, bar none!!
