   Great food and great service. A little on the noisy side though.

   This was my first time dining at Zinfandel Grille & they certainly did not disappoint! I took my fiancé for a birthday treat and requested a separate seating arrangement with a little extra special touch if they possibly could. They arranged this cute floral arrangement at our table and gave a complimentary dessert! I honestly think any kind little gesture is amazing & providing your guests/customers with the best service shouldn’t go unnoticed . Food & drinks were amazing ! A little pricey but worth paying for.🌼

   The veal chop with chanterelles was the best I’ve had in a while!👏

   Great service, food and ambience! Enjoyed a delicious lunch with an old friend and we were able to hear our conversation well even amidst a busy restaurant!

   Bewilderingly hit-and-miss. The appetizers (mushroom sweetbread, gnocchi) were breathtakingly phenomenal, perfectly designed and perfectly implemented, but then the entrees were weirdly disappointing. The scallops were well cooked but bland, and the unexciting risotto they come with did not feel like it justified the price tag. The jerk chicken was not particularly notable. The tiramisu looked great but that's unfortunately the nicest thing I have to say about it; it was decent with the inexplicable extra granulated sugar scraped off the top. On the drinks front... The modified old fashioned on the menu was exceptional up front but becomes over-spiced if you take too long to drink it, which I don't love for a relaxed dinner date. The selection of dessert drinks and coffees, however, was unusually good - love a place that'll cheerfully indulge my husband's desire for a post-dinner espresso! And the service was lovely throughout. Overall so close to perfect. At 3/4ths the price point I would have been uncomplicatedly thrilled, but at $100+/person after tip the standard is high, you know? This would almost certainly be a standout place to drop by for a drink and a snack at the bar, but the full sit down experience wasn't quite there.

    Wow, super impressed with the new and improved menu, superb and attentive servers! We live in the neighborhood and haven't eaten here for a year, due to past dissatisfaction with the menu, It's much much better than last year. As a 25 year customer -- Suggestions: Please bring back your calzone!!! You have a rare wood fired oven and no one serves calzone anywhere so this could be a "signature" dish. PLEASE consider not serving that sour vinaigrette with your wedge salad. Not good, especially with bacon. Please consider a traditional bleu cheese or some other creamy dressing. Other than that BRAVO!
