Food was great. We went because their sister restaurant is union league and we love that place. Only criticism is the menu is all over the place. Never had hummus and green curry in the same place before. Not sure I would call it an American bistro but the food is all really great.

The menu was diverse and filled new foods we never enjoyed before. And the food was outstanding. The service was excellent. Our waiter anticipated our every need. He was friendly and helpful and made us feel as though we were his only table. The meal was expensive but it was fine dining. One of the best restaurants we have ever eaten in. And a great choice if you are non dairy.

Perfect venue for a business lunch Highly recommend the Zinc, based on my business lunch there yesterday. With effective and non-invasive service, good and healthy food, a reasonable noise level, and easy parking, this is a good choice for a business get-together. Don’t hesitate, it’s a good pick!

Service was super. Host and bartenders great. Drinks were very good and creative. Popcorn shrimp was very good but really need some sort of dipping sauce. I had the duck.bao which was OK but nothing I’d order again and my wife had the Singapore noodles which were also just OK but nothing I would order again. Overall, we did very much joy our evening there and I would return but I would order different food.

Zinc consistently does a great job. I wasn’t going to have the tuna again (had it the last time I was there), but I couldn’t resist. The Host and our Waiter were great!

Busy and slower than usual on a Friday night. Waitress did an excellent job and kept us informed of delays. Delicious artisan cheese platter, wonderful duck main course. Shrimp with noodles somewhat bland. Excellent chocolate mousse cake for dessert. All in all, a pleasant experience.

They knew it was our anniversary and they threw in a champagne toast for the occasion and checked to confirm we were happy with our seats. We appreciated this attention to detail and acknowledgement of our special day! Everything was great except the desert which was just ok.
