Although nestled in an industrial park, Zinna's isn't your typical sterile restaurant where you go for corporate meals. Great ambiance both indoor and the patio overlooking the lake; they even have a large garden on site. The salad was enormous (three of us couldn't finish it), and our homemade pasta dishes were excellent.

I've been less interested in dining here lately. Although the food is good, their policy of charging$20 per person if we have to cancel is ridiculous. Sometimes things happen and plans have to change. The menu prices have gone up significantly. We have often gone to Zinna's over the years but these days there are other restaurants we now prefer.
August 2026
Zinna's never disappoints! It is a true gem in an unlikely location and you feel like you're in another world. Food is consistent and delicious. Menu changes periodically to keep things interesting and to reflect the various seasons. Go hungry so you can try appetizers and salads before your entree.
