Chef Danny has spent over 20 years connecting with local farmers to bring you the best protein and produce in the area,” according to the website.
“Danny also utilizes ingredients grown in our own organic garden on the Zinnia grounds. We look forward to welcoming you into this new experience at Zinnia.”
The menu features classic broiled oysters, a lamb tart, Tollhouse Caesar, and fried green tomatoes among the starters.
Entrees include a 10-ounce ribeye, spiced duck breast, swordfish piccata, and sautéed Peruvian bay scallops, along with a burger and other choices, and a la carte side dishes.
Specialty cocktails from Beverage Director Dylan Greer, along with wines and beer, are available at a new bar in the renovated dining room.
The restaurant is open from 5–9 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday and accepts reservations.
