5 /5 Cruisinforfulltime: Passing through the area during lunch. My first choice wasn’t open but I found Zambistro across the street. Very clean and welcoming decor with friendly staff. I was quickly seated in a warm (it was

5 /5 Ann Kennan: A culinary gem: food is superb, service top-notch, super friendly staff. The decor is tasteful and casual, the attentive staff exude small-town warmth and the entrees are meticulously crafted and absolutely delicious. On a recent visit I ordered baked salmon served with roasted asparagus on a bed of sweet corn risotto, and it was so good! Each item complemented the other to create a symphony of flavor. To truly savor one’s experience here, a good bottle of wine is essential. Their red wine list is expertly curated. The moderately priced labels I ordered on separate visits were each silky and delightful. If Zambistro was located in a big city, you’d need to make a reservation at least a month in advance to get a table. It’s that fine of a restaurant.

5 /5 Susie Schmidli: This year our family gathered (made reservations) at Zambistro for Thanksgiving. There were 10 adults and 7 kids. When we entered the table was all ready and prepared. We were attended to promptly by a very lovely person who said shed be taking care of us, and she did a wonderful job. Ill be honest, its a little daunting looking at the prices on the menu. Everything is so expensive these days. However, Chef Josh has put together such an amazing menu that I always leave feeling like it was well worth the price..a VALUE even. I ordered one of the specials, sea bass. Let me tell you, I felt like I was eating one of the finest meals anywhere. The blend of flavors and preparation was so well thought out and executed. I felt pampered. Everything from the staff, the decor, the lighting, the table settings, linen napkins, and especially the food felt like comforting elegance. Zambistro has worked hard over the years to create a high end dining experience and they just keep outdoing themselves. I remember over 20 years (give or take) ago dining there versus now. Well done, Zambistro, and thank you for providing a night to remember for our family!

5 /5 How it is Liz: 5 stars across the board for Zambistro restaurant! The food, cocktails, and service were all top of the line. I went in for lunch with a reservation. The space is very chic, I love the black and white throughout. Nice and quiet atmosphere to have a conversation in. The meatballs were especially amazing along with the calamari. Sorbet for dessert was a great finale. I will definitely be returning to try dinner here! I really enjoyed everything about this restaurant. Parking is available along the street and was easy to find a space.

5 /5 Zack Schneider: We held our recent Vistage meeting in Zambistro’s Bar Room and left thoroughly impressed — great venue, great service, great food. The private room faces the street, giving you a charming look at Medina’s historic architecture and creating a welcoming, slightly civic backdrop for a full-day session. The room comfortably accommodated our group of roughly 25 (speaker and director included) with flexible seating that kept the day productive and relaxed. Zambistro’s staff were highly accommodating: they catered both breakfast and lunch (both of which were enjoyed by everyone), and when we needed AV support they brought in a TV and configured the space so our presenter could run the session smoothly. The bar room itself flows into a well-appointed bar area, and the venue appears to host live music and regular events — great if you want to combine business with an evening out. Other practical amenities that stood out were attentive service and thoughtful room setup (plenty of table space for notes/laptops and easy circulation), which made logistics simple for a large meeting. Highly recommend Zambistro’s for meetings, small conferences, or a casual night out. I’m looking forward to coming back with my wife to try dinner and experience one of their live music nights — curious to sample the full menu beyond our catered selections. A terrific option in a very charming town.
