Zinnia in Utrecht lies near us, so we thought to go there after work. It's a cozy building in the middle of a park, with windows everywhere. You have a nice view of the sunset around dinnertime.
This evening, the staff was very friendly, helpful and cheerful. It was very pleasant. The sushi is good, though there are some maki's, rolls and hand-rolls which contain minced fish instead of fresh fish, which is budget and ecology wise a good choice, but sadly makes the sushi less tasteful. The other sushi are very good though, our favorites being the shrimp (Ebi) and avocado maki's and the california handrolls.
We have been at Zinnia before and noticed a dessert stand, which we have never used. We asked if it was included in the price, as Zinnia uses the All You Can Eat model. The waitress told us the dessert was indeed included and we told her it wasn't very obvious in the menu explanation. We never really use dessert after sushi anyway, because we are more fond of sushi then of ice cream and sweets. But maybe making it more prominent would make a difference to other customers.
We had a very nice time at Zinnia, the staff was very helpful. The wasabi was just the right kind of spicy and thankfully they had the green Kikkoman soy sauce, which is less salty then the original. Always a plus. We haven't tried the sake yet, so that will be something we'll try out later. Because we will certainly return! read more
