Very Disappointing – My wife and I can only report a very disappointing experience at Le Zinc -- our first and, surely, last visit there. The maitre d' hotel was friendly, which made a bright enough start to the evening, but things deteriorated rapidly from that point onwards. The waiter -- an important component of any dining experience -- exhibited an unfriendly and robotic demeanor and was clearly impatient that we took some time to decide on our order even though the restaurant was virtually empty at the time. If that ha... read more

Authentic Parisian Ambiance – I love the sidewalks bistros in Paris, and whenever I feel like its been too long since my last visit, I make the trek from Alameda to Le Zinc. This is the closest I can get to my favorite Parisian bistros on this side of the Atlantic. The food, service and ambiance are all excellent. This is not a snobby place, it is more like an upscale, high-quality neighborhood hang-out. The restaurant is long and narrow, with some sidewalk tables out front and a charming patio out back. A long, antique bar ... read more

Brunch was good but icy wait staff – The traditional eggs benedict was good, nothing spectacular and came with roasted fingerling potatoes. Two eggs covered in Hollandaise sauce over English muffins w/slices of ham for $9. The fresh squeeze orange juice (lots of pulp) in a wine glass was pricey for $4 but very sweet. The lamb sandwich was expensive for $12 and came with potatoes. The wait staff barely greet you when you come in the door. We decided to dine here on a whim, enroute next door to get tasty treats from Noe Valley... read more

Le Zinc Stinks – A year ago, we happened upon LE ZINC, in San Francisco?s trendy Noe Valley, for lunch. (4063 24th St.) Although pricy, we really wanted to come back. Yesterday, 1-14-07, we did. What a rip-off. I ordered a $24 dinner. There was about 3 oz of meat, two bites of potatoes and some garlic beans. All told, including two tiny bites of appetizer, there must have been 6 oz of food. I left hungry. This was a sla p in the face. Enough food to live on would have cost them another buck. The wife ordered soup because she... read more

excellent service!! wonderful food!! – great quaint , neighborhood restaurant. had the price fixe meal, which in addition to the 3 courses, came with two delightful amuses. what a nice surprise! the service was excellent. our server, (the tall woman with brown hair) was extremely knowledgeable of the food and wine. was very attentive to our needs. ( we are high maintenance diners!) restaurant got busy over the course of our stay but everything was right on par. will definitely come back.

Worst Server Beast Ever! – My girlfriend and I had dinner here on a friday night and chose this place because it looked warm and didnt have a wait. Everything was up to par, the hostess was friendly, people seemed to be having a good time, then,,,,,, Our server ,we'll call her "Big Red", barges up to our table, zero introduction, begins to drone over the daily special almost shouting at us, then leaves the table. My girlfriend and I look at each other shocked and confused not knowing if we were getting ready to see Astin Kut... read more

Good Food, Average Service, Somber Surroundings... – Early dinner (6 PM on a Thursday)... The place was nearly empty when we arrived; the single waitperson dividing time between tending customers and restocking the wine bar. We were greeted promptly and told to take any table. The place is dark and somber without a sense of warmth or joy. The menu is presented in a folded colorful car, plus another for the prix fixe and still another for the wine list...a complete set for each guest...altogether too many for the small bistro... read more

Schizophrenic Restaurant – The first time I came here, I was really pleased. Their prix-fixe menu is a great deal, and the food is reliable French bistro. However, I came back another time on a quiet Wednesday night. As soon as I walked in, the hostess asked me, 'Do you have a reservation?" Ordinarily, I wouldn't have minded but the place was empty! Is she programmed to ask that and make the diners feel unwelcome? They also had 1 waiter for the entire restaurant, and towards the end of the night, it ended up getting somewhat... read more

Decent food; bad service... – We have been to this restaurant many times, and the food has always been decent, but the service has not... We kept coming, although service wasn't fantastic, because it was one of the few places that wasn't completely packed in Noe -when searching for a dinner or brunch place. But recently, after bringing our 10 month old daughter, we got such an attitude from the owner or hostess (blond, middle-aged French woman), that we don't really feel like going back. Our daughter didn't make a peep; all ... read more
