A New York Style Parisian Bistro. A 4000 sq, foot restaurant that is designed with contemporary sensibilities, yet returns the nostalgic ambiance of an authentic Parisian bistro. Round marble bistro tables and wicker chairs spill out onto the sidewalk, offering a kind of people watching one might indulge in, along Boulevard Saint-Germain. Zinc Bistro also offer a romantic garden patio secluded deep in the restaurant, lit by candles during the evening, creating an unforgettable ambiance, or a relaxing atmosphere near our fountain in the afternoon. The oyster bar stands at the end of the 25 foot zinc bar, serving fruit de mer platters, as well as all of the accoutrements. We bring in shellfish daily, offering the freshest oysters, clams, mussels, and lobster in the desert.

    This was my second time at Zinc Bistro. It was for a birthday lunch and it was perfect for the occasion. The service was great and the menu has something for everyone. Try one of the Zero Proof drinks for a delightful taste.

    It took too long to receive our drink order and entres. Way too long. Server was great but seemed like she had too much going on. Was about 1.5 hours before we received our dinner.

    Zinc Bistro is the best in Scottsdale for a stunningly presented and delicious French cuisine. The ambiance is lovely inside. I rated it a 4 of 5, because it’s very expensive. Two cocktails, one shared salad and two entrees (with tip) over $250.00. Well worth the incredible food, but know the cost. . . The drink menu is the costliest when compared to the food cost.

    Zinc has become one of my favorites since moving to Scottsdale last year. I’ve never had a bad meal, the wait staff is fantastic and they have the best selection of wine by the glass. They have the wedge salad I’ve ever eaten. The patio is a great place to sit and watch the people pass by. Happy to have it so close by.

    As it has gotten cooler outside, the patio is more crowded. The service level declines. It seems like they could have used one or two more waitstaff to help.

    Food was amazing as always. For a 530 reservation we waited a bit longer than I would have thought for service but our waiter was wonderful when we saw her. We were in a weirdly shaped table for 4, so loud conversation was necessary; long table with a chair at the end. Overall, the food was delicious. The support wait staff was amazing, as well. However, not my favorite visit to Zinc Bistro.

    I visited the restaurant in July for dinner. Had a great time. The food was good. It was my friend’s birthday dinner. I decided to celebrate my other friend’s birthday there. I didn’t know that the lunch menu was SO DIFFERENT from the dinner menu. I was expecting the savory dinner choices. I feel like I can get a burger from any where. I prefer not to order a burger at a French restaurant. I was blessed to visit Paris in FEB 2023. I wanted to have more French food. I ordered the Scottish Salmon and was happy, but my friends (2) couldn’t find anything and settled on a burger. I feel bad because I had “hyped up” this restaurant and my efforts seem like they fell flat like a lead balloon. Oh well, guess I will only visit during dinner. Waiter was super nice, but hard to understand at times (didn’t articulate well).

    Steak Frites was great. Sauce was supposed to be pepper sauce. Tasted like bad brown gravy. My wife had special fish (sea bass) with veggies. She could barely eat some of the veggies. Chocolate Soufflé was very good. Only got the rating I gave was for the service…outstanding.

    A total disappointment. I had been there several years ago for lunch and it was great. No longer true. The noise level now is ear-splitting. Seated at a corner booth, I was not able to hear my companions across the table....and my hearing is fine. The Caesar Salad with salmon was mediocre, at best. The salmon was dry and the salad was totally pedestrian. I expect more from the kitchen of a well-known chef like Matt Carter. I won't be suggesting Zinc Bistro for lunch with friends again.

    I went to lunch with some friends on 9-3 and was very disappointed with service and the food. We ordered 2 chicken Caesar salads and two sandwiches. Our server kept forgetting our order and had to come back to us to clarify. The two salads had to go back because they were ordered with dressing on the side and they came out fully dressed. The salads had some lettuce a few pieces of chicken and cheese. It was NOT worth the $24. The sandwiches had quite a bit of white dressing which was not flavorful at all and blue cheese was requested. The meal was a real disappointment and none of us will be returning.

    Another outstanding meal at Zinc Bistro! We started with a Ricard followed by their new fire roasted ginger carrots-excellent. We both had the flat iron steak and frites which was cooked perfectly. Wife had a glass of cote du Rhône and i had the Stella Artois Zero. A perfect meal and Ashley is the best server around. We’ve already made another reservation. Go!
