Editorial Review for Zinc Bistro – by Rhonda K. Aburomi

In Short
The zinc-top bar, cordial service and rows of books on European travel and cuisine complement a mature and refined clientele. Other touches like peppy techno music and imported patio tiles from across the pond add to the swank. The menu is prepared by executive chef and co-owner Matt Carter, a master of French fundamentals such as crepes and crème fraiche. Try buttery gnocchi with truffles, and for dessert, indulge in the chocolate souffle kissed with Grand Marnier.

User Reviews for Zinc Bistro

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

10/08/2007 Posted by thijs

Zinc Bistro offers unhospitable, unseeing, and uncaring service. The waitresses are poorly trained, snappy and rude. The receptionist couldn't care if you showed up or not, and couldn't wait to dump you at a table so she could go back to her important task of just "hanging out." There are too many other restaurants that offer fine food and attentive service to waste time and money at Zinc Bistro.

Cons: Poor rude service. Uncaring and unseeing management. Don't waste your time or money here.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Wow, what an experience! We stumbled on to this restaurant, and were initially intrigued by the charming Parisien/NY interior. We were warmly greeted by the owner, and made to feel like family. The bar service and suggestions were excellent, and our plan was to come back the next evening. We showed up the next evening as a large party, and were not disappointed! We were a group of well travelled foodies and children.... a disasterous combination for any restauranteur. Everyone's needs were met & expectations exceeded. I highly recommend the live oyster bar and the champagne by the glass selection is exquisite. The entrees were sublime. Pomme frittes to rival the best in the world. Service was outstanding. I would so highly recommend this to anyone. Can't wait to go back!
