    It’s just bang average. I don’t understand all the rave reviews. There’s so many amazing restaurants in PS that are off the beaten track where you can get better food for the same price. It was just ok.

    the ambiance of the dining room nook by the wine room is quite charming! there is a good amount of food for vegetarians to eat and food was adequate. Excellent craft cocktails and great location in terms of wandering around downtown Palm Springs.

    Great service, food was cold, yet flavorful. Resturant is noisy, but nothing out of the ordinary. We will be back.

    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.
