BarZin Bistro & Wine Bar

Really enjoyed the ambience in the outdoor space. Service was prompt and professional and food was amazing. We especially enjoyed the chef's specials of the day. Only negative was the mussels which had a slightly sweeter sauce that wasn't our favorite. But everything over all was very well cooked and flavored!

Wonderful small place with great food, changing seasonal menu and delightful service.

We really love the limited menu. The food has always been absolutely great. The wine selection is wonderful too.

Just had the most insanely unsettling experience here after being chastised by the manager for not liking our cocktails. We have been really excited to try Bar Zin after moving here! Had reservations tonight and started with a pecan old fashioned from the menu. We are whiskey drinkers and enjoy an old fashioned a few times a week. The cocktail arrived and it was aggressively sweet and we didn't love it, so we asked our waiter for a regular old fashioned instead. We never asked for it to be comped, just wanted a replacement drink. Our new drinks arrived and they were crazy bitter. The person behind the bar just didn't make a great old fashioned, and that's fine, so we decided to order whiskey instead. Not an issue at all. Never did we ask for anything to be free! We would have happily paid for all of the drinks that we didn't like. Suddenly the manager appeared and was very aggressive and said we would have to pay for the second round of drinks. Which was totally fine, but her approach was absolutely unhinged. She didn't apologize for us not liking our drinks and immediately launched into "this is a small business" etc etc. and said that they knew how to make an old fashioned and questioned our taste. "You said the last ones were too sweet and now these are too bitter!!!" It was absolutely wild. I was shaking by the end of the interaction which was pretty embarrassing. We are locals and that's why we are here, to support small businesses. We were prepared to sit and eat and drink whiskey and wine all night but she was so rude to us we asked for the check and skipped dinner. We felt absolutely terrible, all of the wait staff was LOVELY especially our server. We tried to tip him as we left but we had no cash and he didn't have Venmo or anything. We apologized profusely to our server. The calamari was delicious! I wish we could have stayed for the rest of our meal but we didn't feel welcomed at all. Will never return and make sure to let our local friends know to avoid this place at all costs.

This is our favorite chill restaurant on Amelia Island. Specializing in local seafood. Dress is casual but the experience is fine dining. We have never been disappointed with the freshness or quality. Great staff....especially the hostess.

Great food. And great service. Jadyn did a great job. My favorite food so far on Amelia Island and we appreciate having such attentive service. 5*. J gets top marks.

Very nice, well prepared food, especially seafood and wine selection.. VERY popular on the weekends.

YUM! Bar Zin is a must when you come to Amelia Island! We are still talking about how good our entrees were. The halibut special and the shrimp risotto. So much flavor and something you wouldn't get anywhere else! The restaurant was small but a cozy and intimate atmosphere for a date night! Service was great! Great recommendations by our waiter and timely to get food on the table and waters refilled.

Really great food and friendly staff. We tried it during restaurant week, the food was amazing. I plan to go back for their wine tasting event.

The food was to die for!!! I loved the tuna so much. It was easily one of my favorite meals I've had on the trip so far. We ate outside and really enjoyed the ambiance as well. It was a very pleasant dinner! I definitely recommend this restaurant. The staff was also very kind !!
