Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Zin Bistro Americana offers a stunning lakeside setting with "great service" and "beautiful scenery." While the ambiance and key lime martinis receive praise, the food receives mixed reviews, with some standout dishes like lamb lollipops. The "romantic" setting is perfect for special occasions, though service can vary with crowd levels.

Great location with nice views of the lake and a decent bar. However, the service is lacking, servers seem unknowledgeable about the menu and there are long waits between servers visiting the table. The food was very average, menu seems more geared for appetizers and drinks rather than entrees. Would comment on dessert, but it was never offered.

Great experience! Our server Trinity was so kind and gave great service. We got a few appetizers, and we loved the lamb lollipops and Thai chicken lettuce wraps. Key lime martini is a great dessert cocktail.

It was NYE and the restaurant was super busy. Our two servers were attentive, fun, knew their craft, knew the menu and went above and beyond to make our night enjoyable. The food came out hot and tasty and the supper staff were quick to fill or water glasses, clear our plates or grab a fresh heater for us…Yes, we were outside on the deck and it was chilly! The two owners (bro & sis) were great hosts and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. And there was even a band to add to the ambience. Great night overall!

We sat in the area by the large round fire pit. Very nice ambience and far away enough to enjoy the live music as low background and easy to visit. Food was excellent as was the service. Generous portions. The prices are at the high end but with some entrees (like the branzino) two adults could share that if you add at least a salad or appetizer (also split). That would lower the overall cost.
