Zin American Bistro

Known to offer "the best food for the money in the Coachella Valley," it's easy to see why Zin has been so popular with local foodies and wine lovers for lunch and dinner since 2004. Grass fed burgers and steaks, fresh seafood, vegetarian and gluten free

My fiends and I came here for dinner and the experience was average at best. The service was overall okay but started slacking off near the end. I waited a while for a water refill and ended up having to ask since nobody came around. I also saw/heard some employees getting upset with each other. The worst part however was the food. I had the schnitzel and found the entire dish not appetizing. It was cooked properly but just didn't taste good. A few others in my group were underwhelmed as well. A few people liked their orders but they had been drinking so who knows. There are so many good restaurants in town so I would not eat here again.

Wonderful staff greets you and sets the tone for the evening. Our server was terrific, serving wonderful drinks and explaining the menu items. The chicken curry was great as was the sea food cocktail. Desserts were amazing, all home made and wonderful!

Decor reflects the mid-century modern vibe of the town and especially the surrounding area! The food is fresh and good, the service attentive and friendly. Perhaps one of the best bargains--a 3 course lunch and happy hour meal (until 6 pm) for $22 with plenty of selections for each course. Three of us shared the molten lava chocolate for dessert--nummy!

Reviewed By alsolly

We were drawn here by the celebrity connection (yes, it WAS Cary Grant's guesthouse, but he wasn't in) and its proximity to our hotel (about two blocks' walk through 102-degree toastiness). We were rewarded with a lovely dinner served with good cheer and in good air-conditioning by Victor: an ahi special for my wife, which she loved, and thick/compact lamb chops that were a bit of a struggle to handle (I REALLY wanted to chew off of the bone, but what would Cary say?) but cooked as ordered and delicious. What really won me over: After consuming a top-shelf ($16) vodka martini I wavered on ordering a second; Victor suggested a half-martini -- which I sipped with great savings and satisfaction. In cooler weather, the courtyard would've been irresistible. Next time -- and there will be a next time.
