   Terrible!!!! We went to celebrate a birthday. There was nine of us we ordered a vegetarian lasagne which was completely black and burnt on the bottom. When I called the waitress over she said that’s how it’s supposed to be three of the guest ordered muscles two of them were ok but one was cold, again when we asked the waitress if it could be changed because it wasn’t hot enough she said that’s how they all come out and because we had 3 muscle dishes one could not be cold. I told her that it had to be changed so she reluctantly took it away only to bring it back a few minutes later so they had obviously just reheated it in the microwave!!! The guest felt very uncomfortable eating re-heated muscles so she didn’t eat them and shared a meal with another of our guests. Our reservation was at 8pm and at 8.10pm we were told that if we wanted any more food from the kitchen we needed to order it as the kitchen was closing but I see on OpenTable they actually close at 12am!!! Our tables were not cleared in between the courses we had to stack our own plates on the table adjacent to us staff never really returned to check if we needed anything so I had to go inside and complain. They then changed our waitress to a waiter who was much better but it had spoilt the birthday celebration by that time.

   All great except super uncomfortable high top stools and that’s always where they sit me with a reservation.

   Service was mediocre, food was okay. Don’t ask if it’s for a special occasion if you aren’t even going to do anything regarding the occasion. Our waitress seemed annoyed since we first got there, maybe was having a bad day.

   Welcoming atmosphere sets the tone for an exceptional dining experience. The staff is consistently attentive, friendly, and genuinely invested in making each visit special. The menu is thoughtfully curated, with dishes that are both flavorful and beautifully presented. Personal favorites include the le bowl with Ahi Tuna and tartines – each bite is a perfect blend of quality ingredients and creative flavors. Despite the occasional parking challenge, it’s always worth the visit. Whether you’re there for a casual lunch, a special dinner, or a girls brunch, the experience never disappoints. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a consistently delightful meal.

   Really a nice time. Was meeting a friend on Valentine’s Day and the staff allowed us to use the regular menu! Very kind and prompt staff. Food was excellent. Always a great place to dine :)

   Great service! The food was good with the caveat that one piece of our Coq Au Vin was tough and gamey.

   Dining out should be an experience—one where service, food, and atmosphere come together to create something enjoyable. Unfortunately, our visit to Zinque was the opposite. From start to finish, it felt like an afterthought, and at no point did we feel like valued guests. We opted for the tasting menu, expecting a well-paced and curated experience. Instead, it was a disaster. Our server was barely present, forcing us to flag down another (much kinder) server just to get any attention. The food arrived underseasoned, undercooked, and without plates. When the food runner brought our entrées, he simply stood there in silence, waiting for us to clear the table ourselves. When I picked up an empty plate to help, he threw the dishes down with force and walked off. I had to call him back just to ask if he could take the empty plate from my hand—he huffed, grabbed it, and left the rest of our dirty dishes behind. With no other option, we moved them to the empty table next to us, where they sat untouched for 25 minutes. At that point, we had seen enough. Rather than continue through the full tasting menu—including dessert—we chose to cut our losses, pay, and leave. That’s how bad it was. I rarely write reviews, but this experience warranted it. Every restaurant has an off night, but this felt systemic. I hope Zinque takes this as an opportunity to re-evaluate, because the potential is there—but right now, it’s a mess.

   A lovely atmosphere and ambience. Great service as well. I found their selection of wine-based cocktails to be interesting. The food, was a little “meh” for me- I had the coq au vin, and my guest had the steak frites.

    A longtime and frequent patron of various Zinque locations, our experience at this location on New Year’s Eve started off very poorly! An untrained and unpleasant hostess was seemingly unwilling to honor our indoor dining reservation request, even though tables were available . Once a great server, Barek, intervened he led us to an appropriate indoor table and the remainder of the evening was nice. Always enjoy the food and it was, as always, very good
