Dining room at Zimzala, Huntington Beach, CALocated inside the Shorebreak Hotel, Zimzala soothes the soul with a Zen atmosphere and retro chic style that runs in refreshing contrast to the ribald party vibe that tends to populate the Main Street neighborhood a couple blocks over. Executive chef Roy Hendrickson pulls together a menu featuring contemporary cuisine that feels familiar, yet is tweaked just enough to give dishes a fun, lively quality. Starters range from soft pretzels paired with a beer-infused cheese to Sloppy Joe sliders with peanut slaw and house-made pickles. More substantial openers include grilled prawns with an ancho preserved lemon sauce as well as flatbreads, such as the classic margherita or fresh fig. Main courses shine: cider-brined pork chop and mustard-parsley spätzle, and Prime flat iron steak accompanied by a savory corn purée. Top your meal off with a German chocolate waffle or a couple scoops of ice cream. A solid array of international wines and local beers is available. Breakfast features healthy options alongside indulgent offerings, such as chilaquiles and thick french toast with sour cherry syrup.
