We had a great night and the service was fantastic. The drinks were amazing, but they do need to update their website.

I saw moderate for noise level but it wasn’t loud. They had a nice jazz band playing and a lady singing and it was very nice. It added to the ambiance in such a positive way. Great place!

Great view and good food overall, but bad service. We will not be going to this restaurant again.

I suppose one way of describing the noise level would be "energetic." I think another, more accurate way would be "so loud inside that you could not have a conversation with others at your table unless you virtually screamed at them."

Since the 'reopening' here in California, most of the restaurant service has been sub par. I understand, trouble getting help. The staff here would rather be somewhere else. No warm greeting when we arrived..and we had a reservation, place was fairly empty,, two or three different people tending to the tables, lacked consistency. We thought we had one person waiting on us and another one brought the for, then a third one showed up after that one to get us coffee. I understand the tag team concept...please explain up front.

Food was not bad.not great. OK. The great thing was that they were willing to remove the fish off the salad for a vegetarian in our party.

New year’s eve Party
Very good ambiance
Service not quick but it was a special diner.
We appreciate the sets of accessories for new year’s party.

Always a treat to meet friend here for lunch or dinner. Excellent service, gorgeous ambiance and delicious food.

The food was just ok and the service was very mediocre. We’ve been going there for years and it seems like their prices keep going higher and the service keeps getting worse. Our food was not cooked properly. Will probably not go back for a long time.

Christmas Eve dinner was very nice. I would definitely return. That said, the filet was undercooked and the “lava cake” was just a chocolate cake. I think we received the wrong dessert. But allowing for packed Christmas dinner, the party enjoyed dinner and will return. Food was delicious, fun crowd. Great wine.

Disappointed! I was sitting eating our dinner on Christmas Eve and a bus boy came and took out heat lamp without asking and gave it to another table…… our server had an attitude the whole night no matter how nice we were to her we could hear everyone say she had an attitude and was mean! Terrible we spent $300 for a whole lot of disappointment NEVER AGAIN Zin Bistro should have gone to The Landing next door where everyone is nice and friendly!

We went there for Christmas Eve, the food was delicious! The service was spot on. We've been here many times and will definitely come back soon.

We had a great time at Zin Bistro! The food was fabulous and we enjoyed the beautiful Christmas lights around the lake.

Nice food and beautiful setting.

Dined here a number of times. Food and service is normally very good and I like the vibrant atmosphere. This time it was just okay. Was very busy due to time of year and it was reflected in the food quality and service. Waitress was efficient but let down by kitchen. Half of the appetizers arrived before the rest..which I think is poor of any restaurant and not all entrees arrived together either. Still will continue to revisit and put this down to time of year hopefully.

Beautiful scenic table, fabulous food, service was a little slow, but overall very good.

Our hostess was great, food was very good.
Noise level was high, the table next to us were very loud, and no one gave them any notice on that.

Have dined here numerous times. Went there for my son’s 19th birthday with the family and everything was good. There was only one surprise that our food was served too quickly. Our salads came like 3 min after we ordered and before we finished the salads, our main dish was brought to the table. And this was filet mignons all around and should not have been served so fast as if it was fast food. So, the entire dinner took less than an hour for a pricey $340 dinner for 4. The food and service were great. I am just wondering how they could serve the food so fast!!!!!!

Amazing service & food!

Great view of the Lake in Westlake Village and really enjoyed the patio setting.

Great seats and view but service slow and food average, disappointed in the deserts. Maybe if we had drinks first we would have been patient waiting for other orders.

LOVE this restaurant! We live in WESTLAKE and NEVER get tired of coming to Zin. What a gem. Wait staff is ALWAYS exceptional. Host and hostess and reservations can be a bit challenging as far as honoring reservations made far in advance.
Food is delicious!

Worst service ever. Noisy, seated nest to loud and obnoxious people. Food not cooked enough. Had to flag a server everytime we needed something. Even yhe bill. The only good thing was the music.

AVOID this restaurant if you care about Covid precautions. No one checked for our vaccine card. Most of the staff wasn’t wearing masks. We asked our waiter to put his on—he gave us an attitude and then refused to serve us anymore. Finally a different waiter came to our table. Won’t ever be going back there again!

The hostess was incredible. We were seated at a less than desirable table. When I asked to be moved, the adorable, sweet hostess said she could move us if a party at a very desirable table didn’t show. They didn’t and she moved us and kept checking to see if everything was ok.

Beautiful location but for thanksgiving it was overpriced and the service was terrible. We had to ask for everything from drinks to clearing our plates to flatware to the bill. No one checked on us at all during our dinner and the restaurant was half empty. I’m sad because it’s a local restaurant for us so I’m not excited to return.

Ambiance and service was great however for buffet dinner was way over priced. $110 per person?!

It was a very nice and relaxing birthday dinner for my husband. We really enjoyed ourselves. Would go back.

Had lunch with a friend. Food was great. Service great.

Great place for lunch! Special lunch menu had lots of options.

Service is great.

Just need more variety on the lunch menu (more sandwiches) and more Brunch offerings on Sunday's (waffles/scrambles/etc). Limited on those two menu's. Other than that, it's good.

Always great food. They may have been understaffed. Servers were very nice trying to do their best.

First time my boyfriend and I came here for dinner. Couldn't speak better things about this place. The staff is incredibly friendly, clean and elegant ambience, and to top it off, the food was absolutely phenomenal

Excellent atmosphere on the patio. Food and service were below average. Better luck spot than fine dining experience.

Westlake Village has many good restaurants. But for my money there is nothing better than sitting on the lake at Zin Bisto with friends, feeling the breeze on my face, watching the boats go by and the swans, all while having a leisurely lunch or dinner.

Best food, best view, best drink, my favorite place

Sat outside overlooking lake. Perfect weather with great food and service. Highly recommend!

Service was disjointed as the restaurant appeared to be short staffed . Lobster bisque contained no lobster or anything else except for soup/bisque. Beef short ribs were excellent but were smothered with a red sauce which made no sense . Macadamia crusted halibut was only breaded with no sign of seeing or tasting the macadamia's . Wine was excellent and reasonably priced and the outdoor setting on the lake was very nice .

The food was excellent. The service was excellent. We will definitely return for another meal.

We checked in for our reservation at 6:15 and sat at the bar while we waited for our table to be ready at 7. The host forgot about us and we never got seated at a table. So they pulled a high top table into the bar in an attempt to accommodate us. We didn’t get to order food as there was no server assigned to the section. So we didn’t get to eat. Just had a few drinks and left. The bartender was nice at least. The live band was fun.

Good food - 2nd time I've had fish and chips and they were lukewarm so that's the only caveat.
Service great - love the view and will always go back!
