    We had lunch here to celebrate Valentines Day. We had the Dungeness Crab Salad, fries and 1/2 dozen oysters. We ordered the west coast oysters and they were delicious. The salad was generous, fresh with a light dressing. Very good. The fries were hand cut and fresh out of the hopper when brought to our table. One order was plenty for two of us. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. This was our first visit and we will return. Highly recommend Zinc Bistro.

    It’s all in the details! Chef Joey does everything he does well and with style. The decor is on point, keep and eye on the murals - it’s fascinating. Everything we ate and drank was very good, if not great. Great wine list selection, I got the special - gnocchi and mushrooms - and too was excellent. This is definitely one we will return to when we are in town!

    The food was wonderful. Started with the shishito peppers and mushrooms. Both were recos and they were great. Did like the poblano pepper stuffed for dinner. We were three people. One hadhad a fish to be made with halibut. They ran out of halibut so they substituted it with chilian sea bass. Unfortunately, it had to be made twice. The first time the fish was not cooked completely through. Someone else had a casserole dish with seafood and peppers. I think that was the winner for all the dishes. There was more than enough to share. The food was extremely filling in fresh, so there was no room for dessert. I will say the ambience is quite beautiful. We had a reservation, but they set us upstairs, which is a little disappointing since that’s more for people who don’t have reservations. But it was quiet and the wait staff was fabulous. We would definitely try it again.
