    This was our third Valentines Day at Zinc and we were disappointed. The food was barely warm. The noise level was terrible.

    Absolutely fantastic!! Excellent food; the only thing is that portion sizes are small. Can’t complain for a top end restaurant tho

    We had a lovely late lunch. The waiter and manager were so kind to accommodate us arriving a bit later than planned. The chicken was amazing as was the fresh pita and dips. Would definitely come back. Lovely modern, warm interiors provide the perfect compliment to the wonderful food. Fantastic service…great all around.
