    Zimmi's has my heart! My boyfriend and I had stumbled upon Zimmi's on social media and could not wait to check out the menu! The ambiance and service are fantastic and the food is out of this world! We made a reservation a few weeks back and have been on the edge of our seat to try the food; upon our arrival we were quickly taken to our table (highly recommend making a reservation). We were then given our menus and asked if we wanted to kick-off with some drinks, I had a dirty martini (so perfect) and my boyfriend had a half bottle of Syrah (which was chilled and full of flavor) From there we placed our food order: Appetizers: - French fries (not on the menu, these fries blew our mind! Crispy and full of seasoning!) - Moules Farcies (these mussels are incredible! And trying to explain the flavor would not do it justice) order this dish!! Main courses: - Pasta Davia (the pesto alongside the beans just melted my heart! I am still dreaming about all the flavors) - Échine De Porc (my boyfriend said was something special that touched his soul and melted in his mouth) Dessert: - Pavé Au Chocolate (not my favorite, but if you like rich chocolate desserts then this would be right up your alley) the crème anglaise was wonderful and full of zest! I cannot say enough about how much I enjoyed Zimmi's! If you are looking for the perfect date night restaurant in the West Village, look no further than Zimmi's
