We were pleasantly surprised at how wonderful the food the service the band was for our dinner. I would highly recommend this place and we're looking forward to going back soon to try more dishes that were recommended by the staff. They make most of their dishes from scratch and you can taste the difference from other Mexican restaurants.

Wonderful experience overall. Food was amazing as usual. We had a Wagu strip, a Scallop special and a new menu item-Iberico Pork we shared all three entrees, memorable!. Service was excellent and the wine list is one of the best in the city. Dinner was a hit! Thanks Zinc team for another outstanding experience. I will be returning soon.

Another great evening with friends at our favorite restaurant. From the wine and the calamari appetizer, to the lasagne and chicken marsala entrees, we loved it! Our server, Tom, and busser, Bryce, made sure we never wanted for anything! We love the live music by Les Koel! We're never disappointed here! Thank you!
