    It's always nice to see Heather, Shane and Daily. They are such a genuine group of nice people. I had Tonight's restaurant week chicken rigatoni carbonara. We shared the chicken beignets with hot honey and my husband had the burger. As always, everything was delicious, perfectly cooked and well portioned. Kudos to the team and of course the chef. It's always such a pleasure!

    Our server, Patrick made our meal a true experience. He made suggestions for our salad, wine and entree special. These did not disappoint. The crab encrusted group er with polenta was a delight. The chocolate torte a perfect end to a fabulous meal.

    French Country Salad with shrimp added. Love all the crunchy flavors in the salad! My husband had the Cajun Shrimp Risotto, very tasty. Love the atmosphere, drinks were great and our waiter was attentive. Always good at Bar Zin.❤️

    We love Bar Zin! Food is fantastic every time. It’s very loud so if you are looking for a quiet romantic atmosphere this is not the place but the food and service is great!

    Our dinner at BarZin was very good. We had scallops and shrimp risotto, along with brussels sprouts and grilled calamari. Unfortunately, the calamari was terrible. It was not grilled at all, cool to taste and seemed like it was just sautéed in a pan. Our server was wonderful, professional and attentive. The ambiance was very loud so just to talk across the table was a bit difficult. The worst part of the ambiance was to have 2 TVs going in the dining room which were distracting and felt like a TGIFs vibe. For the prices paid for a nice dinner, I would not expect TVs to be playing and it should be kept in the 'bar scene' not dining room. I don't think we will rush back.
