| - We were a party of seven adults, three around 30 and four, 60+. For two of us, it was our third time to Zinburger, but we always sat outside. The others had never been. It was a busy Saturday night and we were told wait time would be an hour, but we were seated in half that. However, it took 47 minutes from when we sat down for food to arrive. This is perhaps understandable on a busy Saturday night and would have been tolerable but for the noise level.
The interior of the restaurant is all hard surfaces that make it like a gymnasium inside. Conversation was impossible, even with the person seated next to me. Our server, when taking orders, screamed back the order into the ear of each person to be sure she heard it correctly. For some unknown reason, there was recorded music playing, but we all later agreed we could only barely hear it above the echo-y noise level and it just added to the general din. I cannot understand how architects can design such a space for a restaurant.
So, we sat waiting for food, staring at each other, unable to communicate. The food was mediocre and two of our party did not finish their burgers. If you are OK with waiting three-quarters of an hour for average food, during which time you cannot communicate with the person next to you, you may want to try Zinburger. Otherwise, I'd suggest trying elsewhere.
