    Calamari was on point. We came here for a nice early diner and had a lovely meal. Service was ok. For fine dining, I really prefer some more personal touch. By that, I mean we were some of the first diners in for dinner. And that being said, the entire restaurant was empty except for us and some people coming into the bar. We were greeted nicely but the service after that was quite cold. And the fact that the entire restaurant was empty but after taking the order no one really talked to us after or engaged with us we had different people bringing things out to us it just was not the best service wise experience at a fine dining place that was not busy at all at the time. We enjoyed the shrimp dish and the calamari both excellent and we will be back. We also ordered a wood-fired pizza, which was a Kahlua pork incredibly salty and over sauced with barbecue, it was sent back as neither of us found it edible. They were quite nice they took it off our bill, no worries or hassles, but like I said, the service here just didn't shine for the type of restaurant it is. The food here is amazing. We only had that one dish that was kind of meh, and we look forward to trying again. Hopefully, the service is a little bit better this time.

    We have a group of friends getting together this evening to enjoy the fun and the delicious food at Zinfandel Grille. We have a quiet section tonight, and I love our dining room. Our waiters are very attentive and professional. I loved my Grilled Salmon and took a few bites of my friend’s dishes. All the dishes are very yummy! I love this restaurant; it has become one of my favorites now!

    Nice spot to grab dinner and really delicious food. The restaurant was almost empty when I got there. I chose a table on the patio. It was a cozy spot to enjoy people watching as there was a view of the street. The waiter was attentive and the service there was excellent. Everything I had was amazing.

    Atmosphere is typical for many restaurants. The food was full of flavor. Ordered a pizza of the chicken pesto which wasn’t too over powering. The chicken had plenty of flavor and it seemed to be fresh shredded chicken. Also ordered the carbonara which had plenty of bacon and it wasn’t too milky. The noodles were perfect and had just the right consistency. Great selection of wine but I’m partial to Flowers from near by county.

    Our server Diana had the best personality and was so friendly and helpful when it came to explaining the specials and wine pairings and giving us her opinions on the various menu items. My 10 y.o son enjoyed his pepperoni pizza and gelato as well. The New York Steak was tender and moist, we also loved the clam chowder and calamari. Looking forward to visiting again. Overall a great experience.

    Good service. Too expensive for no sides included. Skirt steak was not very warm, over cooked and sliced too thin. Garlic Potatoes were good but also not hot ( they replaced those) cucumber salad good. My husband liked his calamari and his pizza.

    Great service, unfussy atmosphere and excellent food. We were passing through outer Sacramento looking for something both junky and sophisticated. You've got everything from quesadillas and pizzas to steaks and salmon. The menu is relatively small, but you have a full bar and really attentive service staff. We came in at 4pm to an empty restaurant, but it really picked up after an hour

    A great restaurant experience! I had friends from out-of-state come for a visit. This is the restaurant I chose for a quality Sacramento experience. Zinfandel Grille easily accommodated our party of eight. The food was perfect, the service was excellent. I highly recommend Zinfandel Grille!

    I am rating this restaurant 5 stars for the food, however, I am taking away 3 stars for the poor service. We ordered the ox tail pasta, wagyu pot roast, and the new york steak and the dishes were great. When we entered, there was a total of five tables occupied at 800pm on this particular Sunday. Our server Scott seated us right away but took quite a bit of time checking in to take our orders. He never spoke to us after taking our orders. By the time we received our food there were only two tables occupied. He kept walking, talking and dancing around but forgot to refill our waters and never came back to check on us. When we were ready to leave, he "forgot" to pack our food to go and had to have another server step in to do his job. Service plays a significant part in the restaurant experience and I was disappointed today. Would not go back, especially as a person of color. I'm sure the couple across from us felt the same way. They didn't want to stay to eat either.

    Service was great! Banquet hall was small. Food was good but flavor was a bit bland. We had it catered and it ended up being $900+ for 24 people.

    I had an appointment nearby and stopped here for lunch. I sat at the bar, and the bartender was very welcoming and attentive. The food was good, though I didn't like the mushrooms in my pasta. I usually love mushrooms, but something was off about the way they fit with the gnocchi. A woman who I assume was the manager came and asked about how my food was, and I was honest about the mushrooms. She appreciated the feedback and let me know that they had 2 new chefs and that the menu would be changing soon. She was very friendly and ensured that things would be better the next time I came, which I believe! I plan on going back the next time I have to head that way to try out the new menu. I would recommend it.

    Phenomenal Italian restaurant in Sacramento The food, appetizers, and atmosphere were warm and inviting. Chef Ramón made some great food. The Salmon, steak, angel hair pasta were all delicious. Our waitress did a great job also. I will definitely come back here another day.

    What an amazing place for dinner. The ambience is perfect to catch up with old friends. The food was amazing, real fresh ingredients. The pear and prosciutto pizza was my favorite along with the daily specials for desserts. Definitely recommend this place

    Exceptional. I went with a party of 12 for a family member's birthday dinner. We had a reservation, our table was ready well in advance, and we were seated immediately. The ambiance was reminiscent of many higher end restaurants, with dark wood and low lighting abound. The location itself let a nice amount of light in though, providing a nice balance and a touch of warmth. The staff were on point, with timely refills, stately presentation, and great communication. I spoke with three different servers and all 3 could recite both menus with near perfection, along with our orders! I had the good fortune of starting off the a Minty Goose and it was delicious. A tad over-zealous with the grapefruit juice, but a good cocktail regardless. Next, I enjoyed a black widow, and that was the one I liked best. They mixed muddled blackberries with 1800 Anejo and a splash of lemon juice for a delicious concoction. Beyond the drinks, the food was excellent. We started with a trio of wood fired pizzas, and calamari, before moving on to the main course. Many of us sampled the Mustard chicken and were stunned by how delicious it was. The complex flavors at work all synthesize to create something utterly unique. Very tasty! We enjoyed desert at home, so I can't comment on their offerings. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this meal. Staff knew exactly what to do and when, and they were never overbearing, or hard to find. I don't think I could have asked for anything more, this the 5 stars. It was an ideal dining experience.

    My wife and I celebrated our 11 anniversary at Zinfandel Grille. It was fantastic!!! The food was amazing and service was excellent. We are already talking about what we're going to order next time we go back. Thank you to everyone at Zinfandel Grille for giving us such a special night

    We got seated at our table next to an older yt couple who were extremely loud and going off on the waiter for atleast 35 mins. We finally get served our meals and my dates food was NOT seasoned and our waiter was not accommodating at all. Our waiter also refused to switch out the cocktail that was made way too strong. Overall, the food was decent but for the price the customer service was average for a fancy dining venue.

  • 5/5 Sarah C. 11 months ago on Google
    I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this place. To say the food was WONDERFUL was an understatement. The Salmon was a chef's kiss. The service was A++ server was wonderful and I didn't even have to raise my hand to get a water refill!! It was a good dinner.

  • 3/5 Spencer N. 11 months ago on Google
    Went in for lunch. I had the cheesesteak sandwich, wasn’t impressed with it. Had almost no cheese and very little peppers. Didn’t get many fries for the side. Although the reason for the 4th star is their pizza is really good. Tasted like it was cooked in a wood fire oven. Pizza was cooked very well, dough tasted fresh and was a good portion size. Would recommend the pizza would not recommend the sandwiches. Service was great, drinks got refreshed regularly and the waiter was welcoming.

    We went here for my birthday because I had heard it was a great spot. We were greeted and seated right away. We got there late (8:45) so there was no bread. His mustard chicken was hot and delicious!y gnocchi seemed more heated up than fresh. It was not hot, mostly warm, not very impressive and the reason for the three stars on the food. The two different Zinfandel wines were fantastic!

    Pretty solid restaurant. Ordered the beef tartare, ox tail gnocchi and veal chop. Wish the chips in the tartare and gnocchi was crispier but flavor is great. Veal chop was a great dish.

  • 4/5 Alysia B. 1 year ago on Google
    Upscale grill serving Americana with a fancy and unique flare. I had the blue cheese burger with caramelized onions and a side of Caesar salad, but I took note of a wild boar ravioli that might be fun to try next time. Service was pleasant and attentive without being overbearing.

  • 5/5 Rick n Kristen Almanzo (Mi Lo & Mi V. 4 months ago on Google • 1 review
    My Wife n I thought that we would try this place out for dinner. To start the night off we had the best server "Don" taking care of us. He is very knowledgeable and is very attentive n takes pride in his job. He was able to answer all of my questions regarding the spinach salad n Mary chicken. My Wife was extremely happy with the salmon n calamari. I highly recommend this place for dinner. I want to express to the owner Allen that Don is an outstanding person n he made our night there outstanding n we highly appreciate him for it. Thank you Rick n Kristen Almanzo
