  • "My 94 year old mother and I love to come to Zinfandels. We used to get a salad and pizza to split but we had recently started getting the crab salad every time. This time we decided to try something new. My mom got the burger and loved it. I got crab cakes and was really disappointed. They were tiny and not very good. We will always come back, because the wine is good and the wait staff is great, but I will go back to the crab salad or pizza."

  • "Returned to Zinfandel Grille for the first time in about 15 years only to ask myself why did you stay away so long. Everything about the experience was fabulous. Parking was easy. We were greeted warmly and seated at an ideal table. Service was excellent. Menu had many lunch options. Food was tasty. Gracious manager stopped by to inquire about our meal. In addition to the large bowl of chocolate mints near the door, the energetic hostess opened the door for us to exit and thanked us for coming. We will definitely be returning."

  • "Good food with enough new items to peak one's interest Comfortable and friendly if a bit busy" in the entrance area where there is limited seating as one waits for a table"
    Dined on 5/13/2014
  • "I booked a table for four for a business meeting and even though it was Mother's Day and we did have a short wait, our waitress was lovely, attentive but not intrusive and the food was delicious. This is the first time I dined at this location though I have eaten at two other Zinfandel Grills and will return again because the food and service are consistently good."
    Dined on 5/11/2014
  • "I took my wife and daughter there for a Mother's Day brunch. Actually, this is the second time we done this brunch in the last three years. Each time the food good and plenty and the staff is very good at keeping you comfortable. I would recommend a reservation and one that is not in the middle of eatting shifts. We had a 12:15pm time and only waited about 5 minutes for our table, however, people in front of us had a 11:45am reservation and were just being seated when we got there around 12:10. Otherwise, I would say this is great place to take your loved ones for a special occassion."

  • "My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the food-eating experience at Zinfandel Grille. It has one the best (if not the best) brunch buffets in Sacramento. This was our fourth Mother's Day brunch there and it was as superb as ever."
    Dined on 5/11/2014
  • "I was late for making a reservation for Mothers Day and saw that Zinafandel Grille had an opening. Without any expectations, I was delighted with the buffet and couldn't find anything I didn't like. The spinach salad was amazing and even the eggs and potatoes were exceptional. Even my absolute favorite dessert of Red Velevet Cake was devine and worth the extra calories!"
    Dined on 5/11/2014
  • "Service was quick and helpful. Server was prompt to requests. Wine selection and dining options were great overall. Saturday patrons are treated to live music and brought complexity to the evening. When music was not playing, restaurant was a bit noisy. Overall good for poultry and meat options. Nothing outrageously great, but nothing horribly bad. Meal flavors were spot on both ways. Tender and cooked to specifications. Not dry and not burnt. Service was friendly and knowledgeable. He seemed a little lost, but quick to compose himself when that happened. Porters were great to insure we were entertained. Overall impressions, restaurant is worth going to again."
    Dined on 5/10/2014
  • "My 94 year old mother and I come to Zinfandels nearly every other week. The food is great, especially the crab salad. The waitstaff is always sweet and attentive. I hope our last waitress had a wonderful wedding. She was adorable and a great waitress. "

  • "This restaurant is consistently good. The staff, Food and Music is wonderful."
    Dined on 4/26/2014
  • "I have eaten at this Zinfandel Grille in the past and been very satisfied. Easter brunch was different. Despite having reservations, many of us were in a line out the door and down to the parking lot. We sat outside to be seated faster. Outside tables seating was uncomfortable. The seating outside were cramped. Tables had to be moved each time you got up for the buffet. I saw this at most of the tables. Food was mostly good though flow of customers was jammed. I do have to comment that everything my husband and I had were well prepared and tasty, except for the peel and eat shrimp (tough to peel, not deveined-deveining would have been healthier and opened the shell for peeling, slightly overcooked and tough) and the cake which was dry. "

  • "This year I took my mom to brunch here (1st time) and it was outstanding. I made a reservation through opentable for 9:30am, so glad I did. it got pretty busy. but going through the buffet line was no problem at all. the food was really great and what a selection. the dessert table was really wonderful. the prime rib was outstanding. when my mom & I walked in, every table had very pretty pink linen napkins on them."
    Dined on 4/20/2014
  • "We come here especially for this delicious favorite. Great wine selection."
    Dined on 4/16/2014
  • "Nice restaurant with pretty decent happy hour. Seems to cater to the 'mature' which is not a bad thing. One recent visit the server was very accommodating to a vegetarian request, working w/the chef to create a nice, simple entree; next visit the server didn't have a clue - merely brought a larger size portion of an item on the menu. Food is consistently good as is the attentiveness of the staff. Wood-fired pizzas are great."
    Dined on 4/11/2014
  • "Our son's 18th birthday. He enjoyed being there and his dinner so much that I know he will reccommend the restaurant to many other people. Our family had a very nice time. It was our 1st time at this particular restaurant; referred by another family member. The food was delicious and the service was great! We will definitely go back again."
    Dined on 4/11/2014
  • "By the time we arrived, we had pretty much decided only one of us was really hungry, so two of us ordered from the appetizer menu, one had a crab/artichoke salad , and one the pasta dinner special. The salad was presented beautifully and the friend who ordered was actually unwilling to share! The crab cakes were diving--had to look hard for anything that resembled "filler." Our other friend had quesadillas--she was served enough to feed all of us and not leave hungry! Our server was most attentive and a pleasant dinner was enjoyed with friends we had not seen in some time. This has become a "go to" place if we know we will be in town."
    Dined on 4/10/2014
  • "Reliably good food and service. The restaurant was packed on a Friday night...the only negative was a musical trio presenting what could best be described as a variation of elevator music - more of a distraction and noise overlay than seems to serve any dining interest"
