    Zinc owner Caesar is arrogant and has the philosophy that the customer is always wrong. We wanted to substitute risotto with corn (never done by Italians) with butternut risotto. First he said they don't do substitutions!!! Fine dining? Then he said butternut risotto wasn't on the menu. We pointed out that it was. He then said that because it wasn't busy they would do it. What does that matter? I then told him how we always ordered the crab stuffed salmon with saffron sauce but now it was off the menu. He said that they had to change the menu to keep it fresh. We know this is nonsense because at Crush which he owns the menu never changed for years! This caused us to be reluctant to go there. Arrogant with NO idea how to treat customers who are paying premium $$$.

    The restaurant was nice and warm on a -3 degree evening! Everything was good. The plating of the food was outstandingly creative. The portions were nice size. The taste was good. It is a hidden gem that you can not recognize from the street. You must enter and be surprised.

    We had a very enjoyable dinner with a quiet atmosphere. We ordered our favorite appetizers of Lobster Bisque and oysters on the half shell. I ordered the handcrafted cocktail, cranberry martini, which was wonderful. The Surf and Turf and the Filet Mignon meal were also fabulous. We were not disappointed with the food or the wonderful staff.

    They over all have great food. The surf in turf is a very tiny portion and the steaks are not flavorful at all.

    Amazing place. The staff was extremely friendly. We went later in the evening for my husband's birthday. When we had desert the waitress even placed a candle in desert and wished him happy birthday.

    We were excited to try Zinc for the first time and came away a bit disappointed. The escargot was completely lacking garlic, the entrees were expensive, but not that special and at the end of our dining experience, our server was nowhere to be found. We eventually had to ask another server for assistance and never did see our server again. For a place that markets itself as top level fine dining, we were disappointed.

    Heard a friend mention it so decided to try it out. Was very pleased, called friend and thanked him for "name dropping" lol. Very cozy, not a huge crowd atmosphere. Service was great and the food offering were some that are not on every menu in our locale. Chef does a great job, and ingredients are the best. ***** Will go back !
