    Very good choice for my birthday. Servers were excellent. Old friendKeelie is there also, veery nice. Food, the special Pressed Duck 5 course $ 125 per person, vry good. Middle course superb along with great amuse and salad. Got to full for main course duck slices...all done perfectly. Generally a superb evening, but very expensive. I did buy a very expensive Burgundy from their list and. paid $b 75.00 corkage for my 1994 Bollinger RD champagne. It was atreat. Thered burgundy wa good, not great. It is an excellent restauant.

    We have been to several of the Zinque locations, and have found the food and service to always be excellent! We especially like this Zinque location in Malibu! It has a a really nice outside dining area, and the ambiance both inside and outside is great. Along with excellent food and service. One of our favorite dishes is the Avocado and Mixed Lettuces salad. Great as a starter.

    This is an excellent option to the traditional Thanksgiving meal. Since some of my family members are traveling this year, a nice dinner without worrying all the preparation works and the left over from the 14 pound turkey is a great relief for us. Thanks, Jerome
