| - I love dinner at Zink! The last couple of times I have gone the food and service have both been excellent!
I have had the calamari starter, the blue cheese chips and mussels for appetizers. The mussels are the best choice, hands down! I thought that they might have too much lemongrass, but it was the perfect balance of citrus and seafood!
Some entrees I've tried: The meatloaf, bbq duck, pork chops and vegetarian plate. The meatloaf was, don't laugh, just too meaty! I didn't taste any veggies mixed in. It was just a beef explosion. The bbq duck was delicious, and the side of mac and cheese made my night! The pork chops were cooked perfectly and came with an amazing polenta that I wish I could recreate. I could have eaten an entire bowl of the polenta. The veggie plate was a nice surprise. I went one night with a vegetarian friend and she was pretty concerned after looking over the menu. With the exception of the usual salads and starches, there aren't veggie-friendly options on the menu. She asked the waitress about it and we were informed that the chef will make a specialty vegetarian plate if requested. We requested. It was yummy! She got a vegetarian springroll/southwestern roll fusion-thing, stuffed eggplant and an heirloom tomato salad. She was really happy with the plate and it was very reasonably priced ($15, I think).
You can't eat at a nice restaurant without dessert! I highly recommend the vanilla creme brulee! It is super sweet, but the perfect ending to a savory meal.
Quick tip: If you are going for a fun night out with a friend, try sitting at the kitchen bar. It is really fun watching all of the food prep!
