Zinc is a lively three level bistro in Historic Nob Hill. Featuring an open, urban ambiance, Zinc offers casual fine dining on the main level and the loft mezzanine. For those looking for an exciting show, the exhibition bar offers seats right along the open kitchen. The menu focuses on high quality - yet affordable - American bistro fare and utilizes seasonal ingredients, many of which are sourced from local farmers. The Cellar Bar offers the same extensive wine list and premium cocktails as the upstairs, but in a more intimate lounge atmosphere with a lighter menu.

    We shared the meal - duck egg rolls, a salad, a salmon dish and a dessert. It was all fantastic. The service was excellent and the restaurant was lovely. I thought it was a bit expensive but it seems that's the new Albuquerque and when everything was as good as it was that's something I should probably learn to accept.

    We finished off our alphabet date with the an amazing dinner. Zinc wine bar and Bistro was amazing. We had a very attentive waiter Jessie. The food came out hot and on point. I could not find a flaw in any of the food except that it was so much, I had to take half mine home to enjoy tomorrow. We ordered the bread plate and seared rare ahi tuna to start. My husband ordered the cast iron seared wagyu flank steak and I ordered the grilled Atlantic Salmon. The chef in the restaurant knows how to season his food and his staff are very talented. We will be back to try some other dishes.

    wait staff was attentive without being overly so. Salad was fresh and pasta dish delicious. Chocolate bark dessert great. Recommend the house red wine for the price.

    Been here many times since relocating to Albuquerque in 2009. Tenderloin was not tender and grissly/chewy and the confit rolls were practically burnt. The “bread” was pita pieces and not worth the value. Green beans were undercooked and almost raw. Chocolate mousse cake was hard and just pulled from the fridge. The hostess was kind and friendly. The bartender was attentive. Too bad the food wasn’t up to par.

    Everything was fresh and nicely prepared. My husband and I split every dish we ordered: bread plate appetizer, Caesar salad, the nightly special which was a chicken pasta, and crème brûlée. We had a very nice bottle of barbaresco wine. A quite enjoyable dinner!

    Great setting for corporate dinner for 8. Excellent service and pace and wonderful shared appetizers (duck rolls, calamari, tuna) and entrees (steak frites!). Ginger-coconut ice cream provided an amazing ending.
