    Zin is by far THE BEST restaurant in downtown Palm Springs. The staff is friendly, attentive, and goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience. The menu is a medley of delicious options - a foodie’s delight! The wine list is exceptional, plus the cocktails and beer options are a plenty. We had a wonderful family dinner here and all of our guests raved about their experience. Cheers to the entire Zin team!

    Zin is always terrific. The special Hanukkah Dinner is special and a treat! We look forward to it every year - even though we’re not Jewish. Flavors are great as is the presentation. Brunch, lunch or dinner never disappoints.

    Zin American BistroResponded 2 days ago
    Dear William,Thank you for being a valued regular guest at our restaurant. I'm truly sorry your meal wasn't up to your usual expectations. As I made my rounds to each table, I would have been happy to address any concerns had they been brought to our attention. While we appreciate your feedback, I feel compelled to address your comments about our server. Our team sacrificed their Christmas Day to ensure our guests could enjoy a special dinner. Jason, dedicated a full 9-hour shift to provide the best possible service. If you have a preference for a particular server, we're always happy to accommodate such requests when possible - simply let our management team know directly.We value your continued patronage and look forward to serving you again.
