Let me preface this review by saying to anyone reading - the food and location are excellent! I've visited on slow days for lunch over the Summer, and you'll scarcely find a better meal in the area! I would still recommend Zini's wholeheartedly. However, my experience yesterday evening was a bit disappointing by comparison, and may help readers here with considerations to set realistic expectations about best times and nights to visit. My wife and I visited with her family (5 people total) for dinner on Saturday night. It was her birthday weekend, so we made a reservation somewhere that we were confident I had the great food I described above. However, after our 6:15 p.m. seating and order shortly thereafter, we waited over an hour for the food. And that wouldn't be as huge an issue, but after finishing our water and the bottle of wine we ordered during that time, we received very little server attention, and no updates about the status of our meal until I asked around 7:30 p.m, and it arrived shortly thereafter. While there were a few issues with respect to plating requests, the food was great, as expected, and dessert was prompt. It seemed clear that the staff was unexpectedly busy with a full house of guests, but it was still disappointing that there was little proactive communication about the status of our food, or the check-ins that one might expect for a ~$70/pp dinner. I'll definitely be stopping by in the future, but with a bit more proactivity & specificity on my part to plan for timing accordingly. I hope to update this review positively after that! Parking: The parking lot immediately in front of the restaurant was on the smaller side, but there is parking available elsewhere on premises & adjacent. Check Google Maps & Street View to plan accordingly if attending at a presumably busier day/time.
