Whether you're settling in for an intimate dinner, catching up with friends over expertly crafted cocktails, or celebrating a special occasion surrounded by cheerful energy, the atmosphere carries a comfortable confidence. The hum of conversation mingles with the clink of glasses, while servers navigate the room with a warmth and attentiveness that make every guest feel known without intrusion.

The menu at Zinfandel Grille mirrors the care found in the service: a thoughtful mix of Italian and New American influences with seasonal touches and familiar comforts reimagined.

Went to an early dinner on NYE and had a great server, Carina, and friendly staff. They paid attention to detail, such as my water glass was never empty, wine recommendations, & had patience with us talking about the menu and interacting with us. The food was delicious, prepared with care, flavor, with a quick turn around time. We look forward to coming back.

We were enthusiastically greeted by the hostesses, one of whom remembered taking our reservations. John was our exemplary server and he made sure nothing was left unattended. The food was absolutely amazing, each having a bite of the tables perfectly prepared food! We split two desserts - the creamiest, not too sweet Tiramisu and the blood orange sorbet was especially delicious and refreshing. We will be returning often! Hats off to Zinfandel Grill!!! -Janet Wilde

Good food though pricey. 5 of us went for lunch today to celebrate a coworkers birthday. 2 people ordered sodas, everyone ordered entrees which ranged from $22 - $30. The bill came to $190 before tip. Our friend did get some complimentary vanilla ice cream. Be careful asking for more bread. The server won't tell you but they charge $6 for a serving of 5-6 slices of french bread. It's not even buttered (and the butter they provided was hard, just out of the refrigerator apparently). Pictures chicken sandwich with soup.

Took my mother in law to one of my wife and my go to spots in Arden, Zinfandel Grille. This is our Valentine’s Day, anniversary, random date night spot, and somehow it never lets us down. The consistency is unreal. Staff is always dialed in, and our server was clutch since my mother in law only speaks Spanish. I forgot her name, but she was from Acapulco and absolutely crushed it. Food was exactly what we expect here. My wife and MIL both ordered the steak, and yes, I stole a bite for quality control. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. Mashed potatoes and mushroom spinach were legit. I went with the pumpkin ravioli and the seasonal clam chowder, both clearly made with care. Added a glass of red wine for balance, then we finished strong with a crème brûlée split three ways because sharing dessert feels mature. We love Zinfandel Grille, and bringing a guest who ends up loving it too is always a good feeling. Says a lot about the food and the people

We actually came across this place for the calamari and it is phenomenal. Great breading and not at all greasy feeling. The food is amazing every time we have come here. Their cocktails have been spot on and the server was able to offer an off the menu cocktail hand crafted by the bartender. 10/10 great for romantic nights, friendly get togethers and bringing the family around too

The cannelloni, butternut squash pizza, and baked brie were delicious, and the drinks were well made. Our server Donteal was attentive and observant, checking in frequently. The lemon cheesecake was an excellent dessert to finish the meal with. The atmosphere was warm and more intimate for a couples' night out.

The food is consistently excellent and the staff is attentive, polite and friendly. The food is not overpriced and every time we have guests in town and we want to be sure to have a good meal, we take them here. It’s been around a long time and there is a reason why. They always have a good gnocchi :)

Every dish we ordered was fantastic, flavor bombed meals! Our hats off to the chef! The staff and service were great, friendly and casual atmosphere, not pretentious. We had such a great experience here, maybe one of the best dinners I've had in a restaurant, and our lovely server, Erin was great (sorry, if I got the name your name wrong, should have wrote this review sooner). We will definitely visit again. We highly recommend!
