A word from Zinc - Charlottesville

Seasonally Inspired, Locally Acquired. Set in a whimsical atmosphere of a converted auto service station at the heart of Midtown, Chef Justin Hershey works closely with local farmers in creating his seasonally inspired progressive American menu. Zinc's local-centric sensibility is also… reflected in the wine and cocktail offerings. Enjoy warm weather aperitifs and dining on the spacious patio.Continued

"I was visiting Charlottesville with a top-end New York wine broker, and Zinc was just what we were looking for for dinner. Great quality food, limited but good value wine list, in a hip but attitude-free setting. My several visits there make me think it is a total keeper."

"Great food, nice ambiance, friendly waiter. However, portions were small and it took a very long time to get our main courses even though there were only a few other tables in there at the time."
