Reviews
Love this place and hope they stay around for quite some time. They have great French options and a fun seasonal menu. Brunch is always a great option for a less expensive but good experience. Their dinner is usually filled with older couples and the waitstaff is always friendly. I wish they had a few more of the standard French menu options because I would love to see how they handle them.
On a rainy Sunday morning, I made a previous reservation at Bistro Zinc for Sunday Brunch at 10AM. Fortunately, I was punctual and chose my own table by the open glass door window with a French Bistro street view. The French appetizers are gourmet and prepared on site by a Master Chef for the first taste of Duck Pâté, Three (3) Crostini Toasts, (3) Cornichons and One Pearl Onion. In addition, one can order a second course entrée e.g. Eggs Benedict over Smoked Salmon, and Braised Potatoes with Onions. For a French Dessert, there is a wide selection of pastries to taste the best of the patisserie at Bistro Zinc. This French Bistro will be open for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner until the end of August 2018. Bon appétit!
Nice French bistro...I like his food...I tried the mussels in white wine sauce...and the crème brûlée...both were nice..
Great food, loved skate wing and rack of lamb. Excellent special Cream of parsley. Would be great to have a notch more festive atmosphere on the New Year's Eve. Desserts are excellent. Don't take them to go for someone: the packaging is very low end.
This is a truly French experience however, I took my sister for her birthday and our server was just completely oblivious to the occasion. He was indifferent at best and I would totally recommend that they employ staff with some personality and intuition to dining needs. I do not like having menus tossed at me and if he thinks his tip is ensured, he is mis-informed and will be a true reflection of his complete incompetence. Shame, because I wanted to love this place.
I'm so saddened to see one of my favorite French bistros shut down so I made a point of coming here yesterday afternoon for a farewell dessert. One of my most favorite dishes here has always been the French onion soup, an order of pate and of course a dessert. My mother ...now deceased used to bring me here for the occasional lunch treat so I'm sorry to see this restaurant close its doors forever. If I have time tomorrow I'll come in for one more visit!
Real French dishes, cooked to perfection. Big portions, well worth the money you pay for it. It's still good value though. You should really have wine there, they can recommend the best wine to go with your food.
Lovely French bistro. If you're looking for an American style eatery with large portions, this is not the place. This is as close to Europe as it gets. Crafted food, great service, very relaxing and romantic. Highly recommend this cafe.
