Thank you Daniel! Warmth from the wait-staff makes a meal memorable!! That's hospitality. Menu offered a good array, meal was delicious, and what an enjoyable room! Spacious & light, it's why we save historic architecture. Last week I had lunch at a famous Berkeley resto, and Zino was better on all counts: service, choice, sound level, and the dining itself. It suited us well.
Lovely venue surprisingly quiet. Food and service incredible! Only reason for 4 stars is that we went during time when number of study groups occupied multiple tables. Risk of being so close to campus.
What a beautiful space and place to celebrate another year around the sun. With a parking garage across the street, you may think this is just a hotel, but Zino is Hotel Shattuck's best kept secret. Service was attentive and the menu was divine for lunch serving Mediterranean fare. Starting with the Trio of Spreads (Muhammara, Labneh, Charred Eggplant & Garbanzo) and fresh/warm pita to dip. Delicious! The Heirloom Tomato & Peach Salad, Little Gem Salad, and the Mediterranean Flatbread were our mains and every bite was so fresh and left me wanting to try more of the menu. Presentation, flavor, and quality were all there. Dessert was something I actually never had ~ chocolate crème brûlée..perfection! Would love to come back for weekend brunch, happy hour, or even dinner because the bar is incredible and placed in the center of restaurant just waiting for a good time! Well done, chef! We will be back.
Stayed at Hotel Shattuck and ended up getting hungry so I stopped here to eat. The staff was amazing and the vegan pasta was so good, it bright me back to life after a long day of walking the city!
Came here after my daughter's graduation. The interior is so elegant and spacious. Service was great and friendly. There was a live music for jazzy vibes. The beef rib eye was the star of the show! 5/5 Highly recommend. We also got the whole fish and lamb chops which were both good. 4/5 Overall great place!
Celebrated my nephew's high school graduation last month. My sister picked the spot and it was a good spot. It is a classy-looking joint in a hotel. I'll skip to the chase: everything we ordered was good. It was first time so I let others drive. No problem there because it was a fun ride. Our server was attentive and helpful--a plus with my family. We tend to take a long time ordering and ask a lot of questions. He was patient and knowledgeable. He also advised us our order was more than enough to feed our hungry party of seven, even though it didn't seem like it. He was correct. Okay, now for your viewing pleasure.
