Zinc is a lively three level bistro in Historic Nob Hill. Featuring an open, urban ambiance, Zinc offers casual fine dining on the main level and the loft mezzanine. For those looking for an exciting show, the exhibition bar offers seats right along the open kitchen. The menu focuses on high quality - yet affordable - American bistro fare and utilizes seasonal ingredients, many of which are sourced from local farmers. The Cellar Bar offers the same extensive wine list and premium cocktails as the upstairs, but in a more intimate lounge atmosphere with a lighter menu.

    As always Zinc is stylishly appointed in its decor, conveniently located, and it can boast attentive and capable wait staff, and very delicious food and wine. As per always, we had the Duck eggrolls as an appetizer and they were wonderful, more so with the sweet and sour sauce than the rather unremarkable peanut sauce. My partner had the special salad, which could have used some mixing prior to presentation, and I had the flank steak with mashed potatoes and fried mushrooms and onions. All were served at a good pace, at the right temperatures and we had an excellent meal to mark a three year friendship. The wine list is exceptional and one will find whatever they seek from it. They had a dessert special that allowed us to enjoy small, but perfect, samples of their creme brulee, fudge torte, and their pistachio ice cream. Zinc is my favorite kitchen in town.

    Amazing food and wine. It’s pretty loud in the dining room when full and we enjoyed it.

    Very nice treat! We joined our neighbors to try this restaurant and we are glad we did! Innovative drink menu, we had a bottle of Spanish white with our meal which went well with the Halibut we all ordered as an entre... my husband and I shared the potato pancake and trout appetizer which was very big and yummy. All of our fish dishes were outstanding!!! Love the tomato as a contrast to the creamy sweet fish! We also all enjoyed the vanilla ice cream and flourless chocolate cake. Our wait staff was so helpful and efficient! We look forward to trying all of the great options we saw glide by our table. A bit noisy - but I think we could have chosen different seating as there are many options.
