    Zinna’s Bistro is our number one choice for a gourmet meal. Connor provided outstanding service and the new menu is excellent. We had a party of 8 and every selection was prepared exceptionally. My favorite appetizer is the long stem artichokes. The short ribs were fantastic. Scallops done perfect. Our party also had the grouper, and lobster bisque among other dishes. The entire meal was outstanding!!

    Amazing food. Unpretentious. Value for money. Great decor. Wonderful experience. After dining at overhyped expensive restaurants in Philly and NYC, Enoterra in Princeton is a welcome respite. Wonderful food and flavors, beautifully cooked dishes served without the need of long explanations, exotic ingredients, flowers, or tweezers. Just well cooked, well presented yummy food. And friendly and impeccable service to boot. And not bad in price. We came out of a prix fixe valentines dinner with drinks at less than $300 including tax and tip. And they sent us home with a complimentary olive loaf! Would love to come back for happy hour.
