We selected this restaurant for the quality of the food. It was our anniversary and we couldn’t have been more pleased. When seated, there was an anniversary card signed by multiple staff and then followed by a glass of champagne. We ordered delicious cocktails and tried some wonderful appetizers. The roasted artichokes with lemon hummus were especially tasty. The manager stopped by to see how we were enjoying everything so far. We ordered the filet mignon and a steak dinner entree which were both fantastic. Dessert was on the house. Our waiter, Wen, was very attentive and you should definitely ask for him if he’s available. This is one of the best in town and certainly my favorite. Thank you Seasons 52!

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.

Lovely experience. Food was inventive and delicious. Wine flight allowed me to try several of their fantastic wines. The cab was my favorite, but the Garnacha 2020 and Pinot Gris were also delicious. I will definitely be back
