    We had an amazing night! The service is great, and the ambiance is cozy. It's a good mixture of high-end as well as a neutral environment. We went for my husband's birthday, I made a reservation and asked for a nice place to sit in the comments on the reservation. They sat us right next to the fire away from everyone. It was literally perfect. The drinks were good, the food was great, and the free desert was delicious! This was our 2nd time going, and we will absolutely be back.

    My partner and I ordered the Fennel salad special was amazing hope they include for a regular. We both ordered the Carbonara and it was the best I’ve ever had before!! Would definitely order again. Being an interior designer just wish they would do more in the dining area on the walls. Just seems so bland and unexciting. I could definitely see some black and white large photos of Italy and perhaps the family. Some free advice lol!

    We had lunch here to celebrate Valentines Day. We had the Dungeness Crab Salad, fries and 1/2 dozen oysters. We ordered the west coast oysters and they were delicious. The salad was generous, fresh with a light dressing. Very good. The fries were hand cut and fresh out of the hopper when brought to our table. One order was plenty for two of us. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. This was our first visit and we will return. Highly recommend Zinc Bistro.

    My wife and I love this place, and the food is always solid when we go there. The price is not cheap by any means for the food, but I believe the value is there. Our server last night was exceptional, Curtis went above and beyond with every request and adjustment we needed. The one critique I would suggest, when using open table to book the restaurant requires a $15 per person no show fee, they should in turn give you a $15 credit for not having your table ready when you arrive. We booked for 8 pm last night and had to wait 20 mins to be seated, when first approaching the reservation desk we were ask had we checked in??? there is no QR code or sign for check in??? The hostess (Both) very rude and seemed over whelmed with doing there job! Usually a simple we will get you seated as soon as we can, and thank you for your patience goes a long way!! Instead we got rude and no communication

    Michelin star restaurant. Our Servers. Outstanding. No hovering. Attentive. We had at least three and the lead gentleman provided the best guidance we’ve experienced for years. The chef deserves kudos for excellent food prep and quality, and unique ingredients (choice of fresh greens on risotto). We had the early menu of warm breads, scallops and risotto, sides of bacon creamed spinach and jalapeño au gratin. We finished with the warm butter cake. If you enjoy martini’s try the signature. Most delicious and beautiful I’ve ever encountered. Ocean Prime is a 10 star restaurant.
