Zinc Wine Bar & Bistro

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.

WOW -- extraordinary service, food, ambiance --- the WHOLE PACKAGE. I came for the first time with 7 friends. It was a Wednesday @ 5 pm when they opened. The hostess was kind in allowing this senior group to sit upstairs while having happy hour items from the *cellar menu. Our gracious server was Menomonee. She took our drink orders and everyone was happy with the festive well-prepared cocktails. Then we ordered our appetizers, entrees, and desserts. Everything was right on point. I even took a few photos - which I rarely ever remember to do. (I will post them after this review is online.) [*While the cellar seems very intimate, one person in our party was with a cane and has trouble with stairs, and another person has vision issues in the dark, so we could not handle that environment.]So, well done Zinc staffers and kitchen! You have won new customers' hearts and well will be back again and again!!!

Enjoyed our evening at Zinc. Interesting atmosphere, menu & cocktail list. Robust wine list, however I expected better selections for the price points. I ended up going with a house wine red (Rioja) and it was fine. The Duck egg rolls were top notch! Highly recommend. Bread & Spread- also a winner. French onion soup, could use more depth, but it was good for a cool night. I enjoyed the evening special salad, strawberry, fig, and salut cheese. Excellent portion, fresh & filling. Chicken Saltimbocca- ample portion, middling flavor profile. I'd try another option. Server was pleasant and needed some assistance. Zinc is obviously a place to be seen- nice crowd. 3 adults, 2 apps, 2 soups, 1 salad, 1 entree, 1 wine- ~$120.

The ambiance is great. The cocktails were excellent. Our server was attentive. The food however left a lot to be desired. We had the duck eggrolls and seared ahi tuna for appetizers. Both were previously frozen. The grilled salmon was overcooked The Manhattan Frites strip loin was also previously frozen. The supposedly medium rare meat turned out gray. If I go there again it would be for cocktails only.

I've had extremely positive experiences at zinc . I usually have some an appetizer and drinks . I've yet to try the full dinner. The service is always friendly and the ambiance is extremely pleasant. I've enjoyed my visits to zinc and look forward to updating my review the next time I visit.

Good variety of food, upscale, but not too over the top, service was good (our server was Frankie). Been there before and I will go again. It's a good spot for special occasions. They have a downstairs bar/lounge which is nice too.

A new friend invited me to join him for dinner at Zinc.  He made us a reservation for a weeknight, and we were seated upstairs; the atmosphere was warm and comforting, with service that was totally on-point.  It was quiet enough at our table to be able to have a conversation without raising our voices unnecessarily :-)Tip: Zinc has a very well equipped wine list; we had no trouble finding something to our liking that paired nicely with our foodAs our appetizer, we both went with the Onion Soup Gratinee (toasted baguette, gruyeye & fontina cheeses).  I completely loved the soup; it was salty (just enough to be tasty, without overdoing it) hearty, and busting with flavor.  My friend went with the Manhattan Steak Frites as his entree, while I ordered the Grilled Lamb Strip Loin (roasted gold potatoes with feta cheese, wilted greens & shallot crips, Rhone red-thyme jus).  I tried a bite of his steak, and really enjoyed the seasoning; the Frites were also perfectly salted and fried to a beautiful golden brown.  My  Grilled Lamb was excellent!  So wonderfully seasoned, tender, and delicious that I made it vanish faster than Severus Snape confronted with shampoo ;-)I'm not quite sure how we did it, but despite the amazing entrees, we managed to save room to share a dessert.  While it wasn't all that memorable, dessert was the prefect ending to an exceptional meal.  I highly recommend Zinc, and wouldn't hesitate to return!

I'm a little late to the game, BUT I am so happy that Zinc has opened up again! The restaurant is one of my favorite places for a date night or birthday celebration. On this night we had a girls' night. The Cellar Bar has, what would refer to as, elevated bar food. I mean hearty decadent sandwiches and appetizers. We had the calamari to start, which is always a favorite of mine from this family of restaurants. Then we had the shaved prime rib sandwich and the burgers. I ate the prime rib sandwich and it was phenomenal. The Gruyère, carmelized onions and mushrooms were perfection. Top all of that off with a delicious au jus to dip it in and I was in heaven. Also, I can't forget the soft fresh bread! We finished the night with the Apple Streusel Cheesecake. Drooling just thinking of it!

Went to Zinc for the first time last night and it was delicious! Great service and a beautiful ambiance inside. Ordered the Grilled Lamb Strip Loin and ate everything on my plate!

Fabulous meal. We enjoyed the French Bistro vibe and excellent food so much that we came back and brought friends. The duck confit egg rolls and smoked trout potato pancake were excellent, and we each enjoyed wonderful entrees, Salmon, Lobster Ravioli, Filet Mignon, and Lamb Loin. The service staff is attentive and anticipating. Even though we live on the west side we will be making the journey to come here often.
