    My wife and I went to celebrate our anniversary. I must say it was a treat. The service was extraordinary. Everyone who served us was pleasant and it was obvious they enjoyed working at the restaurant. My wife and I could not recall having a better dining experience. The food was out of this world. I don't understand why they have not been given a Michelin star.

    The service was amazing, very prompt and attentive. Our food was delicious we started with the gnudi, I had the pasta special my wife had the braised short ribs and our friends had the New York steak and the braised short ribs, for dessert we shared the caramel coffee cheese cake it was okay. All in all Zinfandel Grille is a great choice for food.
