    Party of 7 for wife and her sisters birthday. French martinis - 10/10, steak tartare 10/10, everyone’s entrees very flavorful and hot. My steak frites au poivre was cooked to perfection 10/10. Complimentary chocolate soufflé for birthday girls was a very nice touch and delicious. Service was friendly and on point. We have been coming to Zinc for years and can always count on them for a perfect evening.

    Food was delicious, vibe was nice and calm. We went during a quiet time so maybe that’s why. However, it took the waiter 30 minutes to even get to our table. Felt like we were forgotten. I would understand if they were busy, but there were about 6 other parties in the entire restaurant. I loved the food but the service could’ve been a lot better.

    We came here for my dad’s birthday, and it was one of the most special dining experiences I’ve ever had. My first time eating escargo - and I promise y’all that it’s wonderful. We split the saumon fume - delicious. We each had a different entree - I love my sole dish. My dad loved his la choucroute. And my mom loved her scallap puff pastry. They also have a pastry chef. My macaron was incredible, and highly recommend the le citron and opera 12. The owners made our dining experience so wonderful. They were so personable and lovely. I cannot thank them enough for such a perfect night celebrating. We will be back soon! *I also herniated my back recently so it was my first time going out since my injury. The atmosphere is very comfortable and easy to move around.
