This has always been my favorite restaurant, and last night they made my birthday the most wonderful experience ever. The manager went out of his way to be sure of it. Thank you ZINC new haven. You will forever be my fav!
I've eaten tuna steaks up and down the coast and this is the best, but that's besides the point. This restaurant is run with passion. It's run with dedication to an amazing product coupled with amazing service and people are who are truly engaged in your experience. Their attention to the true satisfaction of every customer was easily noticed. Bottom line is, you can be talking to the owner or the bus boy and feel like everyone is proud of the job they are doing. And they should be. Amazing experience.
So a hopping Tuesday night in New Haven? Yes, please! I picked up my wife from work and we walked down to Zinc for dinner and drinks. We started with steamed pork dumplings and fuyu persimmon; they were phenomenal. For our entrees I had the Malaysian Curry, while my wife had the Hangar Steak. Both were absolutely delicious. Perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The food was great, the atmosphere was fun with good tunes and a good crowd. The service was excellent; our waitress Victoria was great but all of the staff was attentive and professional. We had been to Zinc years ago and liked it, but it really has become a great place to have dinner. We'll be back!
Just don't know what all the fuss is about this place. Crammed into a booth I literally had one foot on top of the other no room. Menu had like 5 things on it confusing, and when the food came, very small portions. Extremely loud can't even hear the people you're trying to talk to. With all of this and leaving still hungry, it's time to try something else.
What an absolutely wonderful meal and service. The food was absolutely delicious. They served us some flatbread with a spicy red sauce which was delicious. I had the pork tenderloin and it was cooked perfectly served with carrots. The tenderloin was so full of flavor. My girlfriend had the duck breast and she totally loved it. For dessert we had the caramel apple tart. It was the perfect way to end the meal. The service was excellent, very attentive and friendly.
This was such a fabulous spot! We had a large group dinner here after a tour of Yale. So much to offer - if overwhelmed by choices, just ask for a recommendation. I really think, you could close your eyes and just point to anything and it would be superb!! Eat, drink & be merry … at ZINC.
