The best part of our visit was the bartender. He was friendly, prompt, and knowledgeable. The service was unbelievably slow. The mussels were not good and the burger was cold. I didn't normally like to hate on servers because they have a difficult job. But this was beyond slow. It's a great place for drinks, though!

The right amount of food, service, and atmosphere makes this place worthy of a 'try'. It did not disappoint me or my guests. A great brunch was had by all, and I found the PEI mussels, particularly ?

My husband and I had the pleasure of dining at Zin on a recent visit to Palm Springs. The food was amazing! My husband had the rack of lamb which was cooked to perfection served with potato croquettes.i had the braised short ribs served over mashed potato’s and green beans. Both meals were fantastic. We were pleased to meet the co-owners of Zin, Jason and Mindy during our visit! Great wine list and a choice of non alcoholic beers.

Stopped there for a Saturday dinner with friends. Our waiter was very kind and funny, and it was absolutely a plus. A good choice of food is offered - the buttermilk chicken is very good, crispy on the outside and moist and tasty on the inside. Sides were good. The steak frites were quite good, the beef was cooked properly medium-rear as requested, but the zinfandel reduction was too salty and it quite dominated the flavours on the plate. Prices are faire. Extended wine list, good cocktails.Vegetarian options: Not so many vegetarian options in my opinion, just a few appetizers, one or two main dishes to choose from, and soup and salads that vegetarians could choose

We are permanent Palm Springs residents who frequently dine at Zin. The last two occasions we have had issues with the host. Unfortunately, it is very off-putting to have to deal with him and his attitude the minute we walk into the restaurant. Our server was not the most attentive, but other than that we always enjoy our experience at Zin!
We enjoyed brunch here. Our favorite was the mushroom truffle soup. I'm not a big mushroom fan but do enjoy a good blended mushroom soup and this hit the spot. I would come back solely for the soup. The Eggs Benedict were delicious - I am veggie so I got it without Canadian Bacon as I'm not a fan of the Florentine version. Would love to see an avocado and tomato Benedict version on the menu in the future. One thing to note is the eggs run a little runny. We ordered over medium but they were quite runny - the server made a comment about that being typical so I recommend ordering above how you normally order your eggs. The unlimited bubbly with the fresh juice option was delicious. The juice carafes are tiny but they really do last for multiple glasses of bubbly.

I chose this place based on both the good and bad reviews. Or more precisely, the responses the owner wrote to the negative ones. It is true that if we, as patrons, want to enjoy our meal, we should politely let the establishment know if there is something that is not working for us. This allows them the opportunity to address any issues we may have. If they don't know that you are unhappy, how can they fix it for you? Also, this helps the restaurant improve, and more likely to anticipate customer needs and preferences.Between us, in our two visits in three days, we had pork shank, short ribs, seafood linguini, mussels, beef stew, burnt ends. All were quite excellent. I travel for a living, and eat at restaurants across the country. This one is as good as any, and willing to work with you to make your meal special.

table was unbalanced, the salad was underdressed, the green beans were underdone, the entrees were unremarkable, we were unimpressed.

We created our own tapas menu by ordering only apps. The beef Wellington bites were amazing! The short rib carpaccio was also great, but puzzlingly, the chef did not dress the meat with anything - just dry slices on the plate. We asked for a little olive oil, salt and pepper and voila, back in business! Only complaint was that, in spite of the name of the place, there was no Zinfandel available by the glass!

Never having been to Palm Springs, we chose Zin for lunch and loved it! Friendly, efficient service; perfect location on a corner for people and dog watching and the food was delish - especially the "not to be missed" Zin bites! Loved it so much, we took our hosts before we went home and they too are now hooked!
Great food and great
