I give Zinc 4 1/2 Stars.
I have been to Zinc three times now - Once for a lovely date dinner, once for lunch with my mom, and once with the BF for an anniversary lunch.
The first time we went we did the whole appetizers, meal, dessert, wine. It was lovely and tasty evening. Service was spectacular.
Both lunches were up the the same level. But this last time we discovered the key to what put this place over the top for me.
We decided to split the shaved chicken salad and house frites. I had a glass of savignon blanc. Very enjoyable lunch to enjoy while soaking in some January Scottsdale sun. So we added on dessert - the apple dessert. It was delicious and will be one of my favorite apple desserts available at a restaurant. It is a moist apple cake, with carmel crisped apples at the side and a light with wonderful flavor gelato at top. So wonderful.
Zinc is wonderful - would fully recommend.
