I haven't been to this restaurant in many years, and boy, has it gone downhill. Food bland, expensive, with slow service. Promised to accept a coupon at the beginning of the meal, then refused when bill came. Very rude manager. Slow service. Will never be back.

cancelled last minute on thanksgiving even though my driver already arrived there and even though i placed my order well ahead of time and they are open on thanksgiving with thanksgiving specials. wasted my driver's time and cost him money on the holidays plus now leaving me in a pickle. very thoughtless.

Paid $17.95 for fish and chips through DoorDash for literally ONE piece of fish. This was the center of our order/reason for ordering, so we were sorely disappointed. Had I known it was only 1 piece we wouldn't have even bothered ordering. Also a bit odd that they let you select between rare thru well-done for fish.The burrata tomato crostini was nice and we appreciated that they packed it all separately so it didn't get soggy.The artichoke spinach dip was nice. Both of these were also priced quite high at $16.95 each, though.The pepperoni pizza was decent and adequately priced, as was the chocolate cake.Overall not worth the expense.

My husband and I go out every Friday and have tried many restaurants in Alamo, Danville, San Ramon, Pleasant Hill and Walnut Creek. Zenia is our spot whether for drinks and appetizers or dinner. At many restaurants my drink is skimpy, watered down or the brand is substituted without asking if it is ok. Not here and the second is is not half the glass compared to the first full drink which is often the case at restaurants/bars. During Covid lock down we enjoyed their takeout especially the hamburgers . Always ready for pickup within 20 minutes and grilled to order. The atmosphere is relaxing, the food is excellent, service friendly and attentive. Highly recommend.

Really delicious Filet Mignon with mashed potatoes and Chicken Cordon Bleu. We had a shrimp appetizer that was pretty good too. But unfortunately didn’t get a picture. We also had a couple drinks and some delicious tiramisus with a bit of coffee after dinner. Outdoor seating with wind covers and some overhead heaters. Was very pleasant even on a windy night! Great wait staff who were very attentive and wonderful!

This is a hard review to write because I have wanted to go here for some time now. The reviews seem to really pump this place up so it was definitely on my list, despite being wary of big-box shopping centers' restaurants.Sat outside: sitting so close to an intersection in the parking lot of a busy Safeway was anything but pleasant. It eventually died down as it grew dark, but there were yellow jackets or hornets buzzing about the tables and food, which really really added to the distracting outdoor setting.The staff: definitely works hard, the servers and bussers were feverishly in and out and between tables with little down time.The food: the calamari was under-fried, the concavity potato skins were barely even full of toppings except for the glob of sour cream on each. As famous chefs have said, food not only has to taste good, but it has to look good too.The steak salad was good: fresh produce and appeal although the meat was tough to cut, like they did not cut it against the grain when they served it upon the salad. The italian sausage pizza was ok, but not tasty enough to eat more than a piece or two (and from what I see today, it is not very appetizing when you save it)The cocktail menu is just ok although, they pour heavy, so order what you normally drink vs something fancy from that menu. We tried the greyhound and a martini. Greyhound was meh but the martini was good.I think I may try this place again but for a lunch menu: it is probably not the best dinner option when Danville's restaurant row is just a couple miles away. I read another reviewer's comments of this place and they used the word "reasonable" which I think is fitting, hence the three-star rating.

Order over the phone was never entered..had to wait 20 minutes for boss to enter order and have food cooked. Very busy restaurant with almost every table taken on a Thursday...BTW, excellent food...

I have been to Xenia many times and the food and services are consistently good and the prices are reasonable. Lots of outdoor and some indoor dining right now. Definitely recommended.

The best ribeye steak I try I tried to tell you what a week and the flavor is always the same good stuff and I also recommend the calamari appetizer is awesome
