Zinque is settling in to be a fine spot for breakfast, linch, or dinner. The food is very tasty and varied. The staff is nice and competent. The venue is interesting and offers different atmospheres in different areas. I didn’t think I’d like it when it opened but it is getting to be our go-to place in town. Love the burgers especially!

Lovely space with incredible views and a cool vibe, but the food and drinks were only so-so. Our server was very sweet, helpful, and friendly, but we had to wait a really long time for the check
