    Garlic burger
    Christian E.

    Amazing restaurant week fare! Wife and i went there and you get to decide if you want an app and entree or an entree and dessert. Got the garlic burger and brie and wooo boi. Flavorful. Bread pudding and brisket was phenomenal as well! Like every bite is an explosion! Nice museum vibe in Chrysler.

    I'm not certain if we dined here on a day when employees had called out sick or what the problem was, but wow, food service was incredibly slow and our poor waiter was terribly in the weeds. There were only 2 servers for the inside and the outside seating areas of the restaurant. Our lunch took 1hour and 45 minutes from start to finish. Much of that time was spent sitting and waiting. Waiting for water, waiting to have our order taken, waiting for food...you get it. We sat so long we felt like we needed to get up and move around. The table next to us was there on a work lunch break and they had to leave without getting their dessert. The good part is that once the the food arrived it tasted great. It was "restaurant week" so they had an additional menu where you could pick a starter, a main, and a dessert for $20. The hot spinach dip with the pita was nice and creamy with plenty of flavor. My main was the southern fried chicken sandwich which was lightly fried with a buttermilk dredge. The honey-sriracha mayo was a good addition to the sandwich. The finale was the warm cookie skillet. It was what you would expect and a crowd pleaser for the table. It was unfortunate that the food service was so slow. Our waiter apologized on multiple occasions, but what could he do? You couldn't ask for anything you needed nor would it show up. We never received the ketchup for our French fries, or a refill on the water carafe.

    My wife and I had the Zinnia Burger yesterday and it was quite good. It came w tomato, lettuce, bacon and seasoned fries. The burger was well cooked and the fries were the same. We had Salt and Pepper, and the Old Bay seasonings on the shoe string fries. The food was fine with nothing exceptional. Our waitress was very good and remembered the side of mayo I asked for. The service was on point and we had no complaints. It was a nice day out yesterday so we ate outside even though there was seating inside. This is joined to the Chrysler Art Museum and was the start to a nice afternoon. While the menu is not a real big one it should have something for everyone.

    We had a beautiful afternoon visit with small plates of shared appetizers as we chatted after walking through the museum in the AM. Service on the patio was a bit pushy as they kept coming by and asking to take items before we were really finished and saying no didn't really apply, they removed items anyway. I could understand if they were closed but we were only approaching 2 PM and aware of time. Even more frustrating when they were still open inside.

    An engagement party was the plan; a luncheon at Zinnia and then a museum tour. And it was absolutely fabulous! Wow, Zinnia--you out did yourself. The staff accommodated all our requests and even served dessert for us. They provided plates and flatware to create an ambience for this engagement party. They didn't have to do that. The chef checked on us regularly to make sure everything was up to par. And trust me, it was. Everyone ordered from a scaled down menu--but with nearly 30 people in our party, that was the best choice. Our options ranged from steak salad to curried sweet potatoes--something for everyone. This day was a core memory for the couple--and Zinnia helped to create a lifelong memory. Looking for a place to host your next event? Don't sleep on Zinnia--they will EXCEED your expectations.

    Visited The Chrysler museum for an exhibit and missed lunch that day but it had smelled so wonderful that I made a point of going back just for the Zinnia Cafe! Cute indoor and outdoor dining areas, great service and believe they said that they change up the menu every couple of months. So there will probably be some basics that stay but something new to try each time too Ordered: Coastal Cobb Salad

    Ambience is wonderful, beautiful and clean and bright. Decor clean lines and artistic. Ambience is a 5. Patrons of the Chrysler Museum of Art seem to be the frequent diners here. Service is nice, friendly, feels exclusive (upscale). Service is a 5. You're greeted as soon as you walk In. You're asked if you want indoor or outside seating - on a gorgeous 81 degree February day - it's a no Brainer to ask for outdoor seating. I ordered the Peking duck salad. Large portion. The duck was dry and cold (not even room temperature), seems like I got the last pickings around the carcass.the salad was wilted. Maybe days in the fridge? Food is def 3. Will be back hopefully for a better duck confit sandwich.

    I love that they have updated the restaurant in the Chrysler Museum to Zinnia! It's convenient, has indoor and outdoor seating and is very modern. I appreciated the clean bathrooms as well! The staff is always nice and it's a great place to have lunch or just have a coffee. We stopped in to have lunch while we were seeing the Paul McCartney exhibit. And then continued to see the new painting collection upstairs. They do have a seasonal menu so it could change what is available. The portions are large ( I took home half my burger ) and well put together. My burger was cooked perfectly and how I wanted it. My only complaint would be having to sit too close to strangers because they are so busy sometimes. But that's a good thing! Also I'm not a fan of the ranch dressing or ketchup. It was almost a hint of vinegar in the ranch and the ketchup was sweet. Can't wait to stop by again and try something else on the menu.

    Zinnia is a fresh clean cafe space inside the Chrysler Museum (which is a free amazing museum btw). The menu here is not extensive, but solid consistent options for lunch or grab and go when at the museum or in the area. Here is what I personally like: there are gluten free options, a kids menu, it's very clean and the staff is attentive and kind. The soup rotates and you can get something from their grab n go, order take out or sit inside/outside. It can get super busy when there is an event or lecture so be mindful of that. There are dedicated bathrooms so you don't need to wander in the museum. My favorite is the chicken salad, my friend loves the duck grilled cheese and pickles!

    Was greeted by the staff as soon as we walked in with friendly smiles. I ordered the Chicken Caprese Panini. I considered it to be a good sized sandwich. The pesto was delicious, and the ingredients all tied together for a simple and tasty lunch. I shared the Coastal Cobb salad with my friends. We enjoyed the cranberry cheese that came with it and the colorful veggies that came with. The place was organized and clean. The decor is very much a minimalist designed style with neutral colors. It gives a nice modern feel. I kind of wished we ate outside because the outdoor eating area looks so beautiful surrounded by trees and foliage. I ended my meal with the Brownie Sundae with Vanilla ice cream. It was warm and big enough to share. I think this was the highlight of the whole meal.

    I can't recommend The Fred enough. We held our wedding here in September 2025. It's nestled in a…read morequiet, cozy area of Ghent, and we loved the natural gardens for our photos. Their pricing was also perfect for our tight budget. We felt so lucky finding this gem. Eleise was wonderful. She always answered emails or made herself available when I wanted to visit the venue twice more after signing the contract. We had just under 50 guests, and the space worked beautifully for the romantic and intimate setting we wanted. We had an outdoor ceremony and used both the indoor and outdoor spaces for our cocktail hour and reception. The only thing I wish had been different was being allowed to set up a little bit the day before. I was told it wasn't permitted due to past negative experiences. We were able to rehearse our outdoor ceremony the day before, but didn't have access to the indoor space. Because of that, there was a lot to do on the wedding day, and my crew simply didn't have enough time to get everything done. That wasn't The Fred's fault, I should've delegated things a little better and asked for more help. Looking back, even a couple of hours the day before just to walk through the space with my planning team and place stickies around the place explaining my vision would have helped tremendously. Just something to consider when choosing your venue.

I wish they can do something about the landscaping because It looks like big bushy weeds growing everywhere but I'm sure that's part of the "look" For the inside there are 2 floors you can make use of that includes a kitchen on the first floor. The center itself is spacious and for what I needed it for, it fit the need. The place is dated and could need some major remodeling.

They have a huge event space that you can rent out for anything, and it faces out onto the water which was a gorgeous view. I also did personal training here with Sierra Meacham and for anyone looking for a personal trainer but doesn't know where to start, like I was, I highly HIGHLY recommend reaching out to Sierra even just for a talk. She helped me personal train and helped me understand meal prepping and what to look for in my foods and what I need nutrients-wise for my goal as well as my weight goals! She kept pushing me to my PRs are farther:) She is so understanding and takes every problem I had whether it was with meal-prepping or weight-lifting posture hesitancies and how to overcome. I highly recommend her but definitely reach out and check in with her! She can book up quickly because of how awesome and thorough she is with her clients!! She can also guide you through the different rooms in Riverview such as the redlight therapy and saunas and what not and the importance of them on the body physically and mentally. They also have networking nights and people with different small businesses or want to get out there with the public and socialize I highly recommend checking in when the next night is and go... it's a lot of fun 100/10 recommend!! #personaltraining #mealprep #she'llsetyoustraight! #networking
