| - I absolutely love Zinc Bistro! We went for my husband's birthday and had a wonderful evening. Absolutely no wait on a Friday night at 7 pm, which was a nice surprise, and even got seats in their beautiful hidden little courtyard. (Make sure you ask if there are tables available out there if you want a quieter, romantic evening as it can get rather loud inside when the place fills up)
For dinner my husband had the french onion soup to start, which as always was the best you will find anywhere around, and the flat iron steak with zinc potatoes (their version of au gratin potatoes but with no cheese) He loved the steak, a perfect medium, and the potatoes were creamy and perfectly cooked. We do miss the cheese though!
I started with the tuna tartar, which is served with rye toast points and a cornichon paste, it was so good my husband, who refuses to eat raw fish, even tried a bite.... and liked it! Then I had the short ribs, which were melt in your mouth tender, as short ribs should be. My only issues was the amount of vegetables with the ribs... I think I literally had three slices each of carrots and celery... But they were delicious as well :)
We were then surprised with a little birthday treat for my husband which I will not ruin for anyone else who decides to celebrate their birthday here. I will just say that it was a perfect ending to a perfect meal.
Overall, I will have to say that Zinc Bistro is honestly one of my favorite restaurants in the Valley and I have never been disappointed in anything I have had there. Not to leave out that the service is always amazing and the staff is fun and friendly. Definitely try this place out!
