Zino

We had a perfect meal from the cocktails through appetizers and dinner. I must begin with the perfect setting, which is a very elegant room beautiful, spacious and quiet. Then the wait staff are fun, efficient, and knowledgeable and so helpful. The food was interesting because if it’s focus on the Magreb region of the Middle East and the flavors and spices all of which were very tasteful. The cocktails were wonderful and bartender worked with us to select artisanal liquors. We had three salads as an appetizer. For entrees my husband had the wild caught salmon and I had lamb tagine which was tender and included lots of vegetables including fresh peas again perfectly spiced on a bed of couscous. This is my new favorite place in the East Bay!!

Excellent! Everything was delicious! Service was fantastic. Ambiance was lovely. Definitely recommend! We were in town on business and found Zino online. Went in on a whim and I'm glad we did! We started with the spreads which were absolutely delicious. Cocktails were fresh and fun and interesting. Entrees were mouthwatering. I had the lamb which fell off the bone and melted in my mouth. Friends had chicken/vegetable tagine. Somehow we found room for dessert and that was just as delicious. Chocolate tart and the peach tart are a must! The gelato on top was delightful by itself.

The food here was great. Though a bit on the pricey side (especially for the fish dishes), the food is prepared very well. It's not traditional Middle Eastern but now of a modern California take on Middle Eastern. Which is great. The service was friendly and attentive. But for the price, I'd come back often.
