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.

    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.

    Outstanding service door to table. The steak frites was amazing. Don’t skimp at get the filet. Most underrated steak in town, imo. Paired with some great burgundy and capped off with text book creme brulee. Zinc never disappoints.

    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!

    We love French food and are always excited to try something new. Pros: Nice atmosphere; Croque Monsieur, Crab Crepe & Creme Brulee excellent! Cons: Crispy Duck Confit (burnt - couldn't even tell it was duck, no aioli) plus the potatoes served were burnt and cold); Frisee Lardon Salad was soaked in so much dressing that the salad was limp; the oyster were about the size of a very small lima bean. Wanted to have a friendly chat with the waitress but we never saw her after we placed our order. Asked the nice bussing staff but she never showed until she brought the check and appeared to be offended that we wanted to get dessert. Sorry she had to redo our check. This is the first time I ever went to a restaurant and wanted a refund for part of our meal. Very dissapointed. We will not return.

    We love the atmosphere at Zinc Bistro. We had a fabulous server - happy, energetic and attentive. The bread was fresh and delicious - also brought to us with our water. I was a bit disappointed with the selection of entrees - seemed like many of the dishes were prepared with a sauce containing peppers of some sort. I don't eat peppers so that ruled out many items. The wedge salad was fantastic. My husband ordered the pork special which he liked and I had the mussels which were just OK. They can be hit/miss. Our companions had a filet and an omelette. Both were good. Just wish the salmon or gnocchi would not have had peppers in the preparation.

    I normally LOVE this place. Yesterday, not so much. I was seated in the bar section which was very busy. Took forever to get the waiter, which unfortunately, turned out to be the bartender. He was extremely busy. No one brought me any bread and butter, he never gave me any of the specials, and, when my food came, it was a tad cold. In addition, I had to flag down another waitress, to see if I could get my bill. It was an awful experience from a place that I normally just love.

    We frequently come to Zinc for our women’s group birthday, sometimes 4 or 5 times a year with 5 or 6 people. We’ve always had a wonderful experience. Last night was different. First off our service was not good. The waitress was rude and acted like she couldn’t be bothered the whole night. And then we received the check and we’re charged two full portions of a salmon dinner entree when we just asked for salmon added to two of our salads. To our surprise we paid for 4 entrees when we ordered 2 salads for the table amongst our other appetizers. When we asked the waitress about it, she said things have changed and this is the way it is now. Rude.
