   We have four children under 12 who eat anything. At Bar Zin our younger two (7 and 9) devoured and loved the seared tuna with noodles, as did my wife. I had the swordfish which was outstanding. We topped it off with chocolate cake and begnets (sp?) and loved it all. The waiter was young, but very professional.

   We were seated and no one ever stopped at our table for 30 minutes , so we left. It was amazing how all servers just walked by and never acknowledged us

    Took my dad here for an early Father’s Day. We had the worst dining service. Very overpriced for dinner. My dad and husband had scallops $26 for 3 scallops. The ambiance (noise) was the worst ever. If 10 was the loudest it was a 9.5. We couldn’t talk to each other whatsoever. We bought wine at their wine shop to have at dinner and then in addition had to pay for corkage. That to me doesn’t even make sense and is another reason for never going back because any restaurant with a wine shop that I’ve experienced if the wine is bought there comps the wine corkage because of your business. It used to be one of the must go to places on the island and now is on the list to never go back. Very disappointing. Hope this helps someone and prevents them from being as disappointed as we were.

    Super Saturday night dinner! Fantastic and friendly service from Heather. We started with a bottle of King Estate Inscription pinot noir to go with the country salad and prosciutto-wrapped melon appetizers. Crab-encrusted grouper entree was amazing. Strip steak special was flavorful. Key lime pue for dessert was delectable. Look forward to dining here again soon.

    We celebrated our 48th anniversary at the Bar Zin and were so completely satisfied with every aspect of our time there. We were seated promptly and had water delivered within a minute. Our server ( unfortunately I can't remember his name ) went above and beyond possessing the unique quality to be at our table when needed while leaving space for our privacy. Chef Abe was amazing and my wife's Grouper was incredible and the Tenderloin I had came out perfect with each bite as good and tender as the previous. His Blueberry cheesecake creation was as visually stunning as it was delicious followed by an excellent cup of coffee to complete our meal. All in all I'd rate our visit a 6 out of 5 and will definitely return.

    Ate outside very pleasant and food was good. Server was very good, but food came very fast. Make sure you ask for food to be paced upfront. Split every course with my wife and they plated the half portions separately, very nice.

    Had not been to Barz-in in a while, so not sure we like the "Tapas-style" menu. Ended up ordering more things to accommodate the smaller servings of what they have, so this a la carte plan does run up the bill quickly. The food was generally good, the best being the fried oysters and the chowder which seemed like a great marriage between New England clam chowder and shrimp bisque (no shrimp though). The service was excellent.
