About this restaurant

Romantic
Innovative
Good for special occasions

Our chefs have painstakingly created a menu of wine-friendly fare consisting of old world hors d'oeuvres and regionally inspired tapas. From baked Texas goat cheese with kalamata olives to fresh chocolate covered strawberries, the menu caters to the diversity of the food enthusiasts.
Charles Court, at the rear of Zinc, is a truly serene gathering place for a rare outdoor experience. The private, spacious courtyard makes for a quiet sanctuary from the clatter of downtown city streets and the Riverwalk.

The food is very mediocre. You have to pay $15 for a nearby parking spot. That has to be taken into consideration as well. There's a funky smell inside of restaurant. The bathroom is very old.

Zinc is one of my favorite spots in San Antonio. The Duck wings are to die for and don’t forget to order the table side Guacamole!! Service is impeccable and if it’s a beautiful day ask for patio seating.

Zinc’s is an excellent date night restaurant. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Ambience was pretty good but could use a refresh. Bathroom location is a bit awkward (located in main dining area with tables and chairs in direct sight into restrooms). However if you are interested in wine/champagne ask to see the cellar it’s pretty cool.

Nice, off the beaten path, moderately priced. Small menu, decent wine selection. I'm allergic to avacado, found in the calamari (not listed on the menu), remade upon request without it. Agree with some other comments, the staff could be more sociable, friendly, something.

Go on a nice day and reserve a seat in the courtyard out back. Fabulous for a group, a couple or any size. Tableside guac rocks! Drink selection is inviting. Menu offers something for everyone. Don't let the store-front deter you from this hidden gem!

Sit outside or the noise is deafening. Decent food but not great. Weird vibe from a pretty grubby waiter.
