Gist: Classy food and atmosphere at a reasonable price. Service was decent. Only downside is that the food is on the salty side.
As out-of-towners during Thanksgiving we weren't really sure what to expect from Zinc Bistro. But the review here looked great and we were staying across the street so we decided to give it a shot. And I am REALLY glad we did. Its got a good vibe to it - classy, but not stuck up, dim lighting so its kind of romantic, but spacious so you don't feel like you're right next to your fellow diners.
The dungeness crab crepe was amazing. Two little crepes in a lobster sauce, a perfect appetizer size so you don't feel stuffed after the first course. Definitely leaves you wanting more.
The purpose of this review is really to mention the Filet Mignon Sous Vide. It was the most tender, flavorful mignon we have every had! Granted I don't get filet very often, but for $30 something, I couldn't pass it up. Our waitress kindly explained the Sous Vide cooking method. The meat is slow cooked in a vacuum sealed bag, keeping all the juices soaked in the meat. Delicious! Must try it!
We also had a french onion soup as well as the pork tenderloin. I must say the downfall of this place is that their food is on the overly salty side. So just prepare to drink a lot :)
