    For our second date night out after having a kid, this was a great way to enjoy a dinner. Food was excellent, drink list paired nicely to our needs, and service was attentive. Definitely recommend the ribs and caviar bumps. Really enjoyed the duck fat potatoes. The greens accompanying were awesome. Filet was cooked perfectly - needed a little salt. Thanks for Jeff for looking out for us.

    We sat at the bar this time and it was such a great experience. We met a very nice young lady that took great care of us. This time I tried the Chinese chicken salad, it was very fresh,crunchy and a nice spice from the ginger dressing. I like extra dressing on mine, so I asked for some on the side, I truly enjoyed it. I will always recommend eating at True Food Kitchen.

    What a pleasant experience!!! We came here on Christmas Eve for dinner and all the way from the food to the service it was all amazing! Beautiful restaurant, everything is so spaced out yet it can accommodate so many tables/people. The laaarge outdoor patio was also very nice to go out to after for a drink. We ordered quite a few menu items for just the two of us because we simply could not resist trying a variety of the menu items and not a single complaint ! This place was stunning during the holiday season and so nicely decorated. Thank you for making our Christmas Eve even a bit more special, we will be back!

    Amazing is all I can say. Zinc is authentic French food and is spectacular. The ambience is soothing and welcoming. My wife and I are frequent visitors to France and love French cuisine. Zinc is the real deal. This was our first visit but certainly not our last. We started with the carrot starter which was beautiful and it only got better from there. My wife had the Provencal Bouillabaisse and I had the Scallops. Both dishes were 5 star worthy. Chef created an amazing taste with both dishes. The service is worthy of 5 stars. Just the right amount of touch points and knowledge. Zinc Bistro is now on our favorite Scottsdale/Phoenix restaurant list. I highly recommend Zinc. You won’t be disappointed. One item missing is the chocolate mousse authentic to France. See photo.
