The food was really good. Nice flavor to the seasoned rice, fried fish with creole sauce was very tasty, and my husband's curry chicken was flavorful as well. Healthy portions also. Don't go into Zenny's thinking you're going to a five star, upscale restaurant. Think down home, make yourself at home and get ready for a good meal. Yes, you have to help yourself to the various drinks in the beverage refrigerator but so what?? The owner, who I assume was a mature woman with limited English and an infectious smile. She melted my heart. It is a lovely, quaint place to get some local fare and just relax.
The fish was mostly bones. The rice had no taste. However, service was excellent. They should have a higher quality of food. They charge top dollars for the meals. This was not worth the money. They lost me. I wont be back. I have ate here for years.
What a jewel of a place. So happy to come across it. Very fair prices and delicious food. I had kingfish last night. Back today for some chicken. Owner is friendly. Why pay a lot for tourist food on the waterfront when you can have home cooked delicacy here .
We were looking for local flavor and flare and we found it! We enjoyed ice cold Presidente beer along with fried pork chops, a salad, and flavorful seasoned rice. We were treated like family, though our wonderful waitress wouldn't come off the recipe for her delicious, homemade pepper sauce and hot sauce. (Can't say I blame her. It's got to be award winning.) This is definitely a place to go to often!
I'm giving this place a 2 star for 2 reasons...the curry chicken entree was excellent however the salad fell extremely short. As well as the service. Service was horrible. The waiter was rude and took our order by pointing at each of us. Our salads came as shredded lettuce...and we helped ourselves to cans of soda from the fridge. Of all the places we've eaten in the island, this was by far the worst. I will say I changed this from a 1 star to a 2 star after the fact that the owner approached our table asking how the food was and was extremely nice. She really saved this review.
Zenny's is my favorite restaurant for Stew Goat, usually available on Tuesdays only. Whether you are eating in or taking away, the food is real good, the hospitality is excellent and the Cruzan ambiance is hard to beat. Try some of the other offerings, with sides of white or seasoned rice, simple side salad and tostones (fried plantains) make for a "muy delicioso" meal.
The only thing saving this from being rated as a 1 star was the fact the food was great and a pleasant woman came out from behind the back to check how the food was (I assume this was the owner). I'm very big on service and just like another commenter stated, the server was horrible. The grumpy man that worked behind the bar was also the individual responsible for taking my order. This man was absolutely HORRIBLE. Grumpy took my order by looking at me; there wasn't even a hello. Also, I wasn't afforded the opportunity to order a drink because he walked away as soon as I said "curry chicken". So I decided to go and get my own drink. It was as if me coming in and sitting down somehow ruined his day. I wasn't sure if he was rude just to me, so I observed his interaction with others. Well, luckily he doesn't discriminate; he was rude to everyone. This man managed to single handedly ruin the entire experience. Had this restaurant not employed this man, or at least kept him away from customers, I would have rated it much higher. As I stated, the food was great, as was the women from the back that inquired how I was enjoying the food. I'll take "average food and great service" over "good food and horrible service" any day. Just to put this in perspective, at minimum, I tip $20.00 if the bill is under $100. If the service is exceptional, I may tip up to $30. The other night I went to a restaurant and the bill was just about $40.00. The service was great, so I gave a $25.00 tip. This man was so awful, I tipped only $5.00 & that was being more than generous.
Chicken chicharrones are the best in town. Flavorful and plentiful servings. Baccalao is great too.
Their food is my absolute favorite. I look forward to my trips to the island just so i can eat at Zeny's restaurant. My favorite thing is the Conch, but i enjoy just about everything on the menu. Everything has flavor and her food is the true definition of Dominican cuisine with some island influence. She has great food for great prices, you can't beat that!
