From start to finish, a perfect dinner for 2. Pomegranate Martini and Old Fashioned opened the festivities and were delightful. Oysters on the half shell deelish and the horsy and vinaigrette great compliment. Beef Carpaccio on the money with Arugula and sliced onions and the Veal Meatballs in comfort italian style gravy with Frittes outstanding. Our server Chip was gracious and knows his business. The busmen were perfect and made sure our waters were filled and plates cleared at the appropriate times. Thank you Zin!

Enjoyed a special Taste of Burgundy dinner with wine pairings. The salmon and veal meatballs were both outstanding. The servers were very attentive, and the owner was very gracious.

Located on Palm Springs' main street, Zin offers a standout mix of American and Belgian-inspired fare. Highlights include perfectly cooked lamb, flavorful mussels, a Branzino served with citrus infused risotto, and rich Belgian veal and ricotta meatballs. With an extensive wine list and lively atmosphere, it’s a top spot for a delicious night out.

We had the absolute best dinner here! The food was delicious, the service attentive, and it felt like a friendly, neighborhood spot not a trap for tourists. Definitely recommend!

Excellent food and friendly service. The Restaurant Week menu was a great value, and the added oysters were some of the best we've had in a long time. Everything was fresh, well prepared, nicely presented. Will definitley go back again soon!

One of the poorest Restaurant Week experiences we had in 2025. The “$39” menu was a doorbuster...once there, most items had a surcharge - e.g. $10 additional for a minute cheesecake. The absolute worst part of this experience is the service. The hostess was the only one who at least tried to figure out why a switch in waitresses meant that desserts were not delivered. Katy was our new waitress who came in at the end and NEVER checked in with us —we waited for 25 minutes and she managed to spill 2 drinks at the table next to us in that time but never even looked at our direction. We had to call her over, explain only 1 dessert had been delivered and then said they since our table had a split check, that there was confusion! Great service - blame the customer for restaurant incompetence! The hostess did get the desserts delivered but again Katy never looked our way to see if we needed anything UNTIL time for the check when she managed to come over with a smile. Guess she will get the tip that should be given to Christina. . Really horrible service - could not even tell you if food was any good based on the service. Would not go back.

First, we were seated near a bachelorette dinner, so they were over-the-top loud in a small space. All courses came out cold and a bit underwhelming. $40 for a lobster pappardelle with barely one claw meat.

Second poor experience in two weekends. Both 3 hour dinners, food not as good as used to be. Our other local guests saying same.

As a Brit travelling solo, this was the perfect place to eat. The happy hour menu was good value and the location was great for people watching.

The schnitzel was delicious. The staff really knew what they were doing and had great recommendations.

Food and service were good.

Food is very good and plenty of variety on the menu. Patio is large and covered. Since it's on the Main Street in Palm Springs there is a lot of road noise. Great location and lots of parking close by the restaurant.

Tony

Really nice restaurant and great service. Just a couple of items I chose for meal and drink were not available. But that was just bad luck

Paul

Beautiful Easter Sunday breakfast. Nice 2 course menu option. A bit noisy, but that could be anywhere.
