Zinnia Cafe & Events

Cafe located inside of the Chrysler Museum was a little more $$ than expected. Arrived before the kitchen closed @ 2pm. Ordered a chicken caprese panini & their signature BLT. The BLT with a fried green tomato & goat cheese was delicious. Definitely would get that item again. Their handmade chips were good also. Everything tasted fresh.
The staff were friendly. It took a little longer for our food to be ready than we were told but given we had just interrupted their clean up - it was kind of expected. Their outdoor seating area is really nice.

Waitress was friendly and polite. The atmosphere was good and relaxing. My burger was delicious but i was not happy with the fries. They were supposed to have cheese on them but instead had a tiny sprinkle of cheese on it. I told them to put more cheese on them and the waitress came back with a tiny cup of cheese to put on myself. Way over priced and the glass was small for a 5.00 apricot tea.

We grabbed lunch at Zinnia Cafe while visiting the Chrysler Museum & took the option to sit outside. Zinnias is very clean & a has a wonderful atmosphere. Our server Linda was very friendly and answered all of questions. We ordered the grass fed hamburger & the duck salad. They were both delicious & we ended up sharing our meals. We will definitely return to try other menu items.

Visited The Chrysler museum for an exhibit and missed lunch that day but it had smelled so wonderful that I made a point of going back just for the Zinnia Cafe!

Cute indoor and outdoor dining areas, great service and believe they said that they change up the menu every couple of months. So there will probably be some basics that stay but something new to try each time too

Stopped in when seeing the Eyes of the Storm Exhibit. Food was good and soup portion was small but salad was a good size. Erica gave great service and was a pleasure to be served by her.

Loved the special tea time offered, but felt that the $35 price was steep for the quantity and portions of food provided. You received everything listed in accompaniments. The catch is: the sandwich is a quarter of a whole sandwich. The rest of the accompaniments are also small in portion. We were left with the desire to have a secondary meal. While the portions were meager, the flavors were great.It’s worth the experience once to try.

I love that they have updated the restaurant in the Chrysler Museum to Zinnia! It’s convenient, has indoor and outdoor seating and is very modern. I appreciated the clean bathrooms as well! The staff is always nice and it’s a great place to have lunch or just have a coffee. We stopped in to have lunch while we were seeing the Paul McCartney exhibit. And then continued to see the new painting collection upstairs.They do have seasonal menus so it could change what is available. The portions are large ( I took home half my burger ) and well put together. My burger was cooked perfectly and how I wanted it. My only complaint would be having to sit too close to strangers because they are so busy sometimes. But that’s a good thing! Also I’m not a fan of the ranch dressing or ketchup. It was almost a hint of vinegar in the ranch and the ketchup was sweet.Can’t wait to stop by again and try something else on the menu.

Really fresh food in beautiful surroundings.

Overpriced pitiful panini that had 10 fries on the plate. There wasn't enough employees to handle the work load. I really wanted to like it.

Seems pretty limited. Nice space. Fancy prepared food. Everything was good. Nothing hot when we were there. Maybe microwaveable?

The atmosphere was nice but the food was very bland. Someone here said "try the Zinnia burger and your mind will be blown". Well I tried it and found it had very little flavor. Honestly one of the worst burgers I've ever had. McDonald's burgers are more enjoyable.

Brand new, it has that chic, streamlined, minimalism, atmosphere and feel. The wine selection was good for the pricepoint and it is very spacious. Will return soon for sure.
