Reviews for Zin GastroPub in Lake Zurich, IL
Couldn't be happier with food and service we had. Atmosphere is a relaxed wine bar. So it was perfect for a nice date that... wasn't too high end. The service was great and food and drinks were great value. Huge beer selection and cocktail selection togo with wine list. Read more

First time and probably last. Like others have said, wanted to like this place, but fell short. Owner or manager gave a nice... greeting but didn't give us much attention after that (perhaps if we had ordered wine?). Waittress kept disappearing and kitchenwas slow. Drunken mussels were decent, Ceasars salad was very fishy tasting and had to be sent back to change out to differentdressing. I've had this salad made tableside at an upscale restaurant with fresh anchovies, it isn't that I'm turned off by aflavor of anchovies in my salad. This tasted like old fish. New York strip was small, thin and overcooked (maybe rested toolong) but tender and had nice flavor. Truffle fries were good but a bit salty. Veggies were cooked nicely and had good flavor aswell. Overall, the experience was disappointing. The restaurant was so cold, it would help to maybe just turn up heat a bit. Thewaitress would make some efforts and accommodate but only when we saw her. The owner or manager was just not there for us atall...very attentive to another table or two, just not us. If we had wanted to suggest any tweaks, he wasn't interested. Read more
We recently moved from Chicago and were delighted to discover Zin. My husband was happy to see a small line on Saturday evening... - a sure sign of a good meal in his opinion. I was happy to see the thoughtful wine list, local beers on tap and a small menu offarm-to-table dishes. The kitchen was a tad slow, but everybody was so friendly and everything we had was delicious. I’m happyto recommend the bacon wrapped dates, lamb meatballs and tuna steak, and we’ll be back to try everything else. What a gem. Read more
Don't let the exterior fool you. This restaurant provides outstanding food and service, not to mention a slew of wines AND a... full service bar. My first time here and I couldn't choose what to get so we shared a bunch of apps and sides. From the lambMeatballs to flat breads, truffle fries... Everything was delicious. I can't wait to go back soon. Read more

I've loved Zin Gastro Pub since I tried it for the first time last year. It's hard to get a reservation because their restaurant... is popular and the food is just to die for. The ambiance is fantastic, it's dark and romantic with lively vibe. Plus they havesuch awesome selection of unique wines that are both affordable and delicious. Read more
