    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!!

    Very busy on Valentine’s Day, but they handled it well! We waited at the bar and had a drink before our table was ready. We sat upstairs where it was quiet and very pretty! Great service, delicious food (we had the surf & turf special), and took our dessert home as the food portion was quite large. Also, Shray in the liquor store portion of the establishment was very knowledgeable and so kind. Looking forward to our next visit!

    PERFECT...The staff went out of their way to present an outstanding evening. Very warm and friendly greeting upon arrival. Rose petals on the table as well as a small vase with a rose. Staff came right over and poured a complimentary sparkling wine. The service was outstanding. They never rush you in this restaurant. Live entertainment was great in the background. As always the food was very good. Ownership was present to make sure everything was going smoothly. Outstanding evening. I highly recommend this restaurant. We are looking forward to their upcoming "Steakhouse Wine Dinner". Thanks !
