| - It's a shame that I haven't reviewed Zink until now, because it is steadily becoming one of my favorite restaurants in Charlotte. It's pricy, as you would expect, given the quality of the food and the location. However, in this instance, you definitely get what you pay for.
The food at Zink is best described as New American with a twist. I know that sounds horrendously trendy, but it's done really well here. There's a lot of re-imagined comfort-style dishes, like mac and cheese, crab cakes, and so on., with a special emphasis on locally-sourced foods. During our most recent visit, I had the shrimp and lobster Diablo, which had just the right amount of spice, balanced perfectly by a subtle-yet-present almond butter. The hanger steak is also sublime. Zink's decor is pretty classy too: it's sophisticated in an understated sort of way. The service is always polite and very helpful.
Try Zink. If the dinner prices put you off, then go at lunch: you can eat at surprisingly low rate for that particular meal. You won't regret it.
