About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
  • Neighborhood gem

Zinc is a lively three level bistro in Historic Nob Hill. Featuring an open, urban ambiance, Zinc offers casual fine dining on the main level and the loft mezzanine. For those looking for an exciting show, the exhibition bar offers seats right along the open kitchen. The menu focuses on high quality - yet affordable - American bistro fare and utilizes seasonal ingredients, many of which are sourced from local farmers. The Cellar Bar offers the same extensive wine list and premium cocktails as the upstairs, but in a more intimate lounge atmosphere with a lighter menu. Visit www.zincabq.com for menus, pictures, and upcoming events!

    Zinc offers creative, well-prepared entrees, as well as very good desserts. I had lamb loin, prepared rare, as requested. Ample portion with a chard-cannelloni bean vege and a feta-olive tart rounding out the entrée. My wife had a grilled cauliflower steak with oyster mushrooms that she said was very good. We split a salad and finished with a chocolate mousse cake for dessert. Zinc has a very good wine list. Service was very good, as well. Only criticism is the noise level, which can be a bit excessive.

    Had to go one last time before they closed. This has been one of my favorite places to have an enjoyable meal and a good night out and it didn’t disappoint! Wishing the ownership and staff of Zinc the best!

    Excellent event. 4 great old-world wines were featured and wonderfully paired with the chef's best. The Red Chile Rubbed Rotisserie Pork Loin was outstanding. Wonderful experience and lots of bang for the ticket cost. Looking forward to the next event.

    It was our first experience with Zinc and we were pleased with both the ambience and the offerings. The service was attentive. My chicken saltimbocca was delicious. Zinc has an extensive wine list.

    OMG DELISH!! Everything (except the onion soup needing a little salt) was AMAZING!! The Special salad - so YUM; the LAMB - DELISH - all the ingredients SO Tasty. The WINE from Italy - YUMMY. The Pecan Pie - OMG - such a treat. We went at 6 and there was a small number of people - but by time we left - the place was getting busy. Wanna try the speak easy downstairs. THIS IS A GEM to keep on your regular list!! DON’T MISS IT!!
