    The service was a little slow m and kids menu was extremely limited. Overall the food was extremely delicious and well prepared. Everything came out hot and fresh. The chef even came around to the tables and spoke with everyone. I highly recommend.

    It was Valentine's Day and it was the perfect place to spend the holiday! Food was delicious. We did feel a bit rushed, but that could have been that we were late in arriving and they were totally booked for the evening.

    A gem that more of us should know about. The food was creative, flavorful and beautifully presented, our service was attentive and bespoke and warm thanks to Ella, who was delightful and made our evening so nice. It was pretty quiet, but of course it was Monday night, a holiday, and inauguration day, so people may have been hunkered down at home. I would encourage everyone to give it a try, the steak was delicious, the lamb ribs were crispy and great, and we had a really nice hummus and appetizer. Give Zino a try!
