   Sat indoors in piano room as quieter than outdoors. Very attentive service starting with the hostess. Very extensive menu. The half chicken was tasty but on the dry side with tough skin. The ratatouille side was delicious. Tuna Tartine was excellent. For dessert had the cherry tart a La mode. Cherry tart was good-not sweet. Enjoyed the vanilla ice cream very much. Would go back. Plenty of free parking in the south end of the Ross parking lot.

   The ambiance was great. The food was delicious! The service was poor, only one server for our table. We could see our drink sitting on the bar waiting to be servered.

   This place is awesome! Big place with a lot of parking in the back. I asked for a table inside because I have asthma, and the hostess accommodated me. She is nice and empathetic. The food is beyond delicious, and the serving is hefty. I made the reservation for me and my friends before going to a concert at Venice West. The waiter referred to me by my name the whole time. I felt important. Nice touch. I did not catch his name, but he told us that he is from Romania. Thank you

    We went last year and we liked it. This time the service was terrible: they forgot to bring menus, mistook drinks orders, recommended dishes that were really bad and then forgot to bring dessert menus again after asking for them. We ended up leaving without dessert. Food was really bad: clams had sand and the sauce had too much chorizo in it (this was not explained in the menu), half-roasted chicken was completely dry, the pizzas are basically bread with topping on top and the steak was okay.

    Once we found the place tucked away in a back parking lot behind Ross ( no thanks to Google Maps) it became a delightful evening. Sat outside amongst the various heaters, service was very attentive and exceptionally friendly. The Asparagus Nicoise Salad was a delicious variation on the original. Delish Brussel sprouts and cauliflower in romesco sauce. Yummy. Very tasty salmon filet and petit Chablis. Too bad it was our last night in LA or we’d go back again tonight.

    We went for valentines and after pre paying, the food was extremely underwhelming. A plate of raw/blanched vegetables for an appetizer is extremely efficient for the kitchen but sends a message that if they could choose to do less, they would. Entrees and desserts were far less than what would I expect at this price point. Overall, would not recommend.

    I’ve been to Zinque several times for lunch/brunch but went for dinner last night and looooved it! The ambiance and music was so good! The wine (Petit Chablis), delish, as well as all the dishes we had - started with the mussels (YUM!!!) and then shared the short rib papardelle and the zucchini and goat cheese pizette. Was a perfect meal and a lovely evening!

    Decided to host a friends farewell, and won’t be making this mistake again. Our server barely came around - time gaps in between check-ins was far too long and we were a good size table. For being a Monday evening with a restaurant that wasn’t full, I don’t understand the lack of attentiveness. Food portions left to be desired.

    The bread and Brie is SO good here! I’d eat it by the gallon. The table split the truffle fries and fondue as well. Service is great, ambiance is great. A perfect place for a get together or romantic dinner - they have something for everyone.

    I love Zinqué! My friend And I go to the Venice one every week. It’s our fav spot to hang out, get a glass of wine and just talk. The only unpleasant part is the hostess there.. she doesn’t like us for some reason. At first I thought it was because we didn’t make reservations, which I get… can be annoying. However, we started to make reservations now every time we go there to make sure we get a good table inside, and she is still weird with us, no matter how nice we try to be. She never says hi or bye, never look at us in the eyes and tries to be very short all the time. We still love Zinqué and hopefully she will like us one day :)

    Very disappointed with this experience from start to finish. We called ahead to add a couple more seats and to make sure splitting the check many ways was ok. They said yes to both. When we arrived, the hostess told us (several times) that we absolutely could not add more people to our table. When we got to the table, it took quite a while for our server to come over. We could tell he had a lot of tables to deal with, but there were periods where we would not see him for 15 mins or more. And then the bill......it was a nightmare to figure out. They told us we could only split it a few ways, which is exactly what I did NOT want to happen. It took us almost 30 mins to pay the bill. We spoke to the supervising manager (who also had many tables to serve) and she gave us 5% off the total bill which was over $640....not great. It took another 20 mins to run cards and it was uncomfortable for everyone. It was a bday dinner for my friend who ended up being the one to talk to the supervising manager. She noticed that the actual manager seemed to disappear so we could not resolve anything. Also, the 2x steaks we got were NOT GOOD. No flavor. I will not be going there again.

    Excellent food and drinks; hard to choose because all options are super appealing. The fried artichokes are definitely worth a try, and we always end up getting an order of the short rib pasta. Our waiter was very helpful and patient. Overall, it’s not too loud inside, but I guess that could really come down to where you are sitting and who you are seated next to. Cute shop in the back that is difficult to leave without buying something.

    Love coming to Zinque - have been visiting them since they had their old location near abbot Kinney. The food is spectacular and the portion sizes are good. Noelle was attentive, kind, and a wonderful server. Ben at the bar makes magnificent cocktails which pair well with his fun and friendly personality. Highly recommended for a date spot or food with friends.

    Zinque is a lot of fun . The cocktails are made with high quality spirits and the bartenders know what they are doing . If you stick with Mussels and fries or Steak and fries with maybe prosciutto and burrata to start you will be fine . The rest of the menu ( as you can see from other reviews ) need work . Definitely fun night out if you want good ambiance and a diverse community.
