Zinc is a lively three level bistro in Historic Nob Hill. Featuring an open, urban ambiance, Zinc offers casual fine dining on the main level and the loft mezzanine. For those looking for an exciting show, the exhibition bar offers seats right along the open kitchen. The menu focuses on high quality - yet affordable - American bistro fare and utilizes seasonal ingredients, many of which are sourced from local farmers. The Cellar Bar offers the same extensive wine list and premium cocktails as the upstairs, but in a more intimate lounge atmosphere with a lighter menu.

    Our server Allegra was exceptional she tended to every single table. She waited on, as if their meal meant everything and their experience was sublime I saw others being lazy and hiding out in Gabbing she went above and beyond, and the chef, the elk medallions were chefs kiss. Incredible night incredible meal thank you all.

    I had a reservation for 6:00 on a Friday evening. I was seated immediately in a cozy corner seat, I ordered the bread and spread appetizer, the prickly pear jam was very tasty. For my entree I ordered their dinner special which was Pan Seared Elk Tenderloin Mignons with herb roasted yukon potatoes, sautéed tri-colored carrots, served on a creamy mushroom duxelle. The duxelle was my favorite part by far, but it was all delicious. To finish my meal off I ordered their Dark Chocolate bark with cherries. I would definitely go back again!

    We had a very enjoyable evening celebrating our 32nd anniversary. The complementary bourbon pecan pie was appreciated and very good. Sabina took good care of us and our meals came out as we requested them. It would be great to see a couple of more vegetarian entrees!

    We love Zinc! Great food and service (though the could use another waitstaff person - those on duty were really great but pulled in too many directions at once to be as attentive as they might have been. We'll be back again and again.
