    My 1st visit. Everything was very good. It may become my favorite local restaurant. The place wasn’t busy on Wednesday evening. I’ll see what it’s like on a weekend evening.

    We have dined there for years. Dinner is always excellent. We were seated as requested where we could chat with our companions easily since it was quiet. Our waitress was so pleasant; she has been there over the years and is always cheerful and accommodating. A lovely evening all around. Thank you.

    Zinna's never disappoints! It is a true gem in an unlikely location and you feel like you're in another world. Food is consistent and delicious. Menu changes periodically to keep things interesting and to reflect the various seasons. Go hungry so you can try appetizers and salads before your entree.
