Permanently Closed - Zinc Restaurant

Great service. Delicious food.

First time back at Zinc since the change in executive chef, and it was great. Serice was impeccable. Menu was very interesting. Since you can't order everything, we'll need to back to try the items we didn't order last night. The table was a perfect size for sharing appizerers (large enough) and conversation (not too large).

The food was delicious, the service impeccable, and the views from the large windows were beautiful. Highly recommend.

Fantastic service, great menu, and delicious lunch - beautifully presented.

We enjoyed our dinner. The food was imaginatively displayed, the mix of flavours in the dishes was artistic, and the quality was very high.

This was my first time at Zinc for dinner and my first visit since Doreen Prei joined Zinc as Executive Chef, so expectations were high. The experience did not disappoint. Our server was exceptional and our food was absolutely delicious. My husband ordered the scallops and short ribs and I enjoyed the spaetzle and pan seared duck breast. I'd also recommend the warm bread with truffle butter. Our desserts - honey lavender creme brulee for my husband and banana bread pudding for me -were a wonderful end to our meal. Zinc has a great wine selection as well, and our server was very knowledgeable and was able to offer suggestions. Our one tiny complaint is that our table was in a bit of an awkward spot near the doors so people needed to squeeze between our table and the banquette behind us on their way out. All and all, a fantastic evening. Zinc is one that we will definitely be returning to.

Such a lovely place to have a quiet dinner before going to a concert at the Winspear. Food was delicious and we had a very relaxing visit - thank you Zinc!

Delicious fare, respectable professional service, lovely room- what more can you ask for. Definitely a keeper.

Dinner was average to say the least. For all the hype and the reviews I expected much much more.

Excellent service in a beautiful setting with very good food.

Everything from ambience to window views, from service to food, from background music to complementary viewing of Art Gallery; Zinc proved the most memorable and perfect restaurant to Valentines Day or any day. Thank you Zinc for a most beautiful evening.

The drinks and food were great. This was a set menu but they were able to accommodate my celiac and vegetarian diet. I still had a fantastic meal

Valentines

Went to zinc on my wife's birthday with both my kids. Let me tell you the service was absolutely amazing. Greeted at the front and brought to my table. The GM Fady came over and introduced himself and asked us if we needed anything that he would look after us. There something about the atmosphere and overall dining experience that is makes this place unique there is nothing like it in edmonton the view of city hall the personal touches in this place can't be beat. I only have one word for the food we ate AMAZING. Thank you Fady for making my experience a 5 star if I could give this place a 10 I would I will be back.

Wonderful, enjoyed it, will go back

We found the food was prepared superbly and well presented.
We ordered the 6 plated meal c/w wine per plate.
If we return we would skip the 6 wines and just get a bottle. Could get arealy nice bottle for 100$!!!!.
The wine served with the meals were not of a great quality (not 100$ worth).
Overall it was a great experience.

It was a great experience, would recommend:)

Only area for improvement would be for the servers to not rush patrons by clearing the table too quickly.

Nice, relaxed place to have dinner before going to a concert at the Winspear.

Expensive entrees, adequate service tiny portions.

A great place to stop before a concert downtown. Great food as always by Chef Doreen.

Relaxing and most enjoyable

Table for 8 great food and we all enjoyed it the cod special was incredible. Two small issues plastic in my daughters meal was a surprise. As the food was served we all had to wait to get our knifes and forks to eat which happened after everybody was served their plates. Wait staff taking orders and drinks were great and on point servers seemed distracted and not attentive as I think they could be. Always will recommend the Zinc great spot excellent food

Great food and perfect location for dinner before a show downtown. Will definitely be back!

Thank you for a lovely evening.

There were four of us and we each had different meals. I had the Summer Risotto and it was AMAZING. Everyone else claimed their meals as delicious. Varying portion sizes but all were adequate

Great food and service. Perfect couples night out.

The new menu is not that good. Many items taken of the older menu were my and my friends favorites. The Stroganoff for example.
My meal was very plain and the salad tepid taste at best. Very disappointed. I have eaten there at least a dozen times and this was the worst.

Zinc upholds it's reputation for good food, drink and service. Somewhat sad that there were few people there on a Friday night, because the options were so yummy. We were there for a fortieth anniversary dinner with family and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Somehow we manage a bit of room for desserts and were richly rewarded. We'll be back. The young woman taking care of us was timely and professional with suggestions and service. Thank you.

This is a great place to have dinner before going to a concert at the Winspear - nice and close and relaxed. It was also great to have a quick word with the chef - to tell her how great the meringue dessert was!
My husband had the special - which didn't seem to come with anything else, which was a little disappointing but my meal was great. A little more light might cheer things up a bit.

ESO Concert

The food was fantastic! The downside for me was that I had not even sat down yet when the server asked if I’d like a glass of sparkling water. I said yes, without much thought to it. He then brought out a large bottle of sparkling water, poured a glass for me and left the remaining water at the table, and of course on it was on our bill. I would not have said yes if I realized it was an entire bottle. This seems to be a backhanded way of upsizing the bill and I don’t appreciate it. Otherwise, the experience was lovely.

We enjoyed amazing food and service at Zinc! Our server was attentive and helpful with ideas for both menu options and wine choices.

My daughter and I had a great dinner at this restaurant except one of the two ladies seated next to our table was speaking unnecessarily loudly and the entire restaurant could hear her! Very unpleasant!!!

Awesome food as always with Doreen and her team. So much care taken to ensure it was a very enjoyable meal. My guest was very impressed with the meal and service.

Food was quite good, but not enough veg/garnish accompanying the protein. For the prices charged, the portions were on the small side.

The food was excellent and being in a wheelchair they were able to accommodate me by giving us a table with no Center Post. The food was excellent and the waitress was friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

loved the food however they can really improve on quantity.. it was too little given the price we paid .

Such an amazing meal from start to finish! The staff were so wonderful and the chef came an chatted. A very memorable evening and we will be back 💗

Soooooooooooooooo delicious!!!
Chef Doreen Prye is amazing!
Portion sizes shocked me! In the best way!!!!!!
Wait staff couldn’t have been better!
