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
Rustic French fare pleases the clean-cut Noe Valley crowd at this popular bistro. – In Short Le Zinc achieves a very Parisian balance between sophisticated and casual, one that lends itself equally well to stopping in for a cafe au lait or a romantic tête-à-tête over dinner. The pretty bar, gilt-framed mirror, even the tile floors conspire to convey a soothing Euro bistro feel and subtly golden lighting seals the deal. Artfully presented and creatively accented, the mid-priced French fare is a good value.
Horrible customer service – I've been here twice. The first time was two years ago when it was unimpressive. Last Friday, my husband and another couple went and were horrified with their service. 1) We had a reservation for 8pm and they didn't seat us until 8:40pm. The hostess didn't acknowledge us until we looked for her. Then, she disappeared for twenty minutes to the back. When we waited at the bar, she told us that we were in the way and escorted us to the cold and cramped front door area. 2) We ordered a bottle of wine ... read more
Perfect romantic ambiance and great food – I ate here last wednesday and just couldn't stop raving about it the last few days to anyone who would listen. This small, tucked away french bistro in Noe Valley could easily be found in Nice or Bordeaux. The pictures on citysearch really don't give it justice. The inside is very inviting, with it's low candlelight and french decor and music. It's a perfect place to "wow" a date. I loved everything from the wine, the complementary starters, and the food. The service was mediocre, b... read more
Great place, good food, AWFUL service. – The interior is simply wonderful. The wine list has character and variety, as does the food. The service was awful. The waiter forgot to bring dishes we ordered, brought us dishes we didn't order, seemed agitated and aloof when we pointed this out, and we kept having to ask for bread. In short, we had salad, then soup, followed by an entree, and then one of the appetizers we ordered. The kicker: there was no pen included in the billfold when it came time to sign the check. That just a... read more
Wonderful ambience and great food – I have been avoiding eating here for years because I was rubbed the wrong way by an experience when they first opened. I finally made it in again for dinner last night and was thrilled. The whole experience was one of the best eating experiences I have had. The 3 course pre-set menu was great (cous cous salad, salmon with vanilla sauce and creme brulee). Very original and tasty! I also enjoyed the wine flights. We came in at 7:45 and they were closing at 8..but we never felt rushed. We wil... read more
Fantastic food and great ambiance! – We had our first experience at Le Zinc this past week and it was simply wonderful. The place was unpretentious but good, from the waitress to the food and to the decor. Overall it was a very pleasant experience and the price was very reasonable. Highly recommended for people who are looking for fresh French food without all of the fuss. It is going on our list of favorite restaurants in the City!
