The Zinc Bistro is a well-known establishment in the Kierland area and shops. The customer service is 5 stars all the way around. The wait staff are excellent and knowledgeable. The food is authentic and delicious. Everything on the menu is outstanding. They do simple things on a high level. We love coming here for brunch and dinner. You will not find a better atmosphere to enjoy a cappuccino or filet mignon. This is a classy casual establishment. I enjoy this restaurant for the unique experience. I highly recommend you try this restaurant.

It is "A MUST VISIT" sort of place for me on every trip to Scottsdale.I've never had a bad dish, the environment is appealing (inside and out on the patio) and they've always had great wines on their list.

Courtyard is lovely & overall atmosphere is beautiful. Food was a little disappointing - especially for the price. Service was prompt.

Very noisy! The rating scale refers to that as 'energetic' but Zinc has always been one of the noisiest venues around. Needs some baffles in the ceiling to tamper it down. Other than that, it was an excellent evening.

A brief visit for a light lunch but the out-of-town guest was impressed with the restaurant, an overall experience was two thumbs ?? ?? up. It was an easy process to reserve table online & got the table in the garden (lucky us) on this beautiful day, some nice options of champagne ?? to top it off. Food was tasty to our liking: crab crepes, croque monsieur, and French fries were light & perfectly pairing with champagne. Crème brûlée ? & Soufflé & Beignets paired well with the espressos. We enjoyed our dining experience here.

They never disappoint. The food and service is always great. Love the ambience. Just enough noise and people coming/going. If it wasn't for the great customer service and everyone speaking English you might think you were in France ?

Wonderful experience! The space has a wonderful vintage feel. Bar staff were attentive as we waited to be seated. We were seated at our exact reservation time. Our waiter was excellent! The Pâté Maison was excellent. We chose to have it with the house bread, as the grilled brown bread served with it was overpowering for the delicate flavor. The Caesar salad was wonderful! It was lightly dressed with crispy croutons pieces that tasted of Parmesan. Both entrees were great. We had the Jidori Chicken on polenta and the Scottish Salmon. We loved them both, but our favorite was the salmon. The Rhône red was a nice, lighter choice that paired well with both dishes. We ended with beautiful chocolate soufflés that were “melt-in-your-mouth” delicious. We look forward to returning next time we're in Scottsdale.

Really enjoyed the restaurant and the food. Our server though was missing most of the evening. She was most attentive when the bill came. I would go back again and hope for better service.
Horrible! Had ham and cheese omelet. I don't know if it was the ham or the whole restaurant. Bad greasy smell. Price too high for a couple of eggs with ham and cheese. Had things on it called straw fries. Not something you could eat. Nothing came with it. No bread or potatoes. Came home and could still smell that awful smell. Maybe if you had a few drinks you might think it was good. I don't think I would, but some might. Also no vegetarian options. The stalls in the bathroom were so small you practically fell in the toilet trying to get in and out.

First of all, the French Onion soup had a strange flavor. Certainly not beef stock! None of us could eat it. I had an over abundance of cheese. My husband didn't have enough to cover the crouton. The pate was grainy and tasted like lunch meat. My salumi salad was very good. The mussels were very small and not as flavorful as previously remembered. It was the worst meal we have ever had there.

One of our favorite date spots. Eating at 2 PM we missed the lunch crowd and ended up with the Garden room to ourselves. Oysters & Prosecco, shared steak frites, and chocolate soufflé with French press. A perfect day!
