| - I keep going back, wanting to like it more, but Zinc is definitely sub-par. The pros: free valet, some great mixed drinks, and a great patio area. The cons:
1) The food is only ok. And the price is more than I would want to pay for only ok food. The menu selection is decent, but every time I have gone, the server has listed off at least 3 or 4 things that they are out of.
2) Food poisoning. Definitely got sick from one of their burgers. We tried to oysters, and did not finish them because they were terrible. The waitress was unapologetic, and did not offer a discount despite the entire table responding that the oysters were inedible.
3) Slow service. I have had prompt service on the patio (maybe because all we were getting were drinks), but inside, I have waited and waited for food, for refills, for the check. Multiple times.
4) Ambiance - Inside, Zinc is dark and does not have the ambiance I'd expect for such a well appointed place. Maybe it's the layout? Maybe its the acoustics? Either way, it's not that inviting.
Overall, I intend to keep coming back for the drinks. Preferably outside on the patio when it's warm. Otherwise, I'd rather avoid Zinc.
