Zinfandel's Restaurant — Restaurant in City of Zagreb

We gave advance notice for the dietary needs of my partner. In my emails with the restaurant, the restaurant supervisor assured us that we could order plain, boiled vegetables for my partner when we arrived.

When we arrived, my partner was served was boiled vegetables seasoned with black pepper. We sent this back to the kitchen.

What came next was a plate of boiled vegetables that were undercooked. The potatoes were tough because they were not fully cooked, not because they were "al dente" (which is what the restaurant supervisor tried to have us believe).

While the correct order was belatedly served, and the supervisor made genuine efforts to rectify the restaurant's shortcomings, we still left the restaurant feeling disappointed with the experience as a whole.

The consommé and turbot dishes I ordered were underwhelming. I was not excited by these dishes. The Croatian red wine that was recommended by the wait staff was good.

There are definitely better places to eat in Zagreb that won't sting your wallet or purse.

I also want to recognise the accommodations that were made, such as moving us to the quieter outdoor seating area to avoid the loud, disruptive group of people at the nearby bar.

People with dietary requirements should not be excluded or disregarded, especially when the calibre of the restaurant implies freshly-made food to order with a high degree of...

It pains me to give 1 star to this renown Michelin restaurant!

We must ate there on the day off of the renown chef, we were guests of the Esplanade and thought we would eat dinner at the Zinfandel at least one night out of 5 nights that we stayed there.

I ordered the pink shrimps appetizer, there were 2 raw shrimps, heavily salted and no flavor at all, they were beautifully presented on the platter... my husband ordered the Pheasant and it was served mashed to a paste, pretty flavorful but can’t tell if it was pheasant or some sort of meat! For our main course, I ordered the John Dory fish, 2 pieces of fish the size of my thumb, wrapped in lettuce... not very tasty! My husband ordered the Cod, which was salty and chewy!!! We were very disappointed with the food. But The service was impeccable, many changes of assorted silverware ... and the waiter was very nice!

We wanted to eat at their other restaurant, the Bistro, but afraid to waste our monies there after...

Zinfandel is truly a culinary delight! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and sophisticated ambiance that set the perfect tone for the evening. The menu is diverse, featuring an impressive selection of dishes that highlight seasonal ingredients.

I started with the roasted beet salad, which was fresh and vibrant, followed by the braised short ribs—simply melt-in-your-mouth delicious! The wine selection is top-notch, with knowledgeable staff who helped me choose the perfect pairing.

Service was impeccable; our server was attentive without being intrusive, making sure we had everything we needed. Overall, Zinfandel offers an unforgettable dining experience, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. I’ll definitely be...
