    The service was just right. The atmosphere is charming, and there is a nice variety of flavors to please veggies and carnivores alike. Prices are a bit higher than I remember; plan on $17+ to order a typical salad. Zinna's will now fall into the category of a special occasion destination, but the room filled up, and it looks like business is doing well.

    I haven’t been here for dinner in a while but it was just as good, if not better, than it’s always been. The service was incredible. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable and went out of his way to make our dining experience the best it could be. The short ribs were melt in your mouth delicious and the chicken soup was flavorful. We were too full for dessert which means a return trip is necessary very soon.
    Zinna's BistroResponded on February 3, 2025
    Hi Gerri, Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so happy to hear that your return visit was just as great—if not better—than before. It’s fantastic that you enjoyed the short ribs and chicken soup, and we love knowing that our service made your experience even more special. We’ll be ready with dessert on your next visit! Looking forward to welcoming you back soon. - Z Team

    We really enjoyed our evening. The beets and burrata were delicious followed by all 3 of us ordering the drunken chicken burrata that was also amazing. Our server was kind and provided the right cadence that allowed us to catch up on conversation and pace our meal. Truly a gem of a restaurant.
