   We love this place, but be ready for a whole new menu! We used to love the duck nachos now replaced with duck tostados...they are good but not like the nachos. That could be personal though. The place is still wonderful. Our waiter was amazing a lot of fun. It is now owned by the same restaurant group that owns Union League, but still nothing like Union League-the atmosphere is still the same.

   The menu and quality of food has gone downhill. Zinc has been one of my favorite restaurants in New Haven for many years and now I'm not sure I will return. It is the little changes that make the biggest impact--no fennel bread and chutney; new recipe for lettuce wraps; huge increase in prices.

   Second visit to this establishment for a holiday gathering with coworkers. Everything was smooth from initial reservation, service, food, and goodbye! Each of us traveled from different states - as far away as Maryland for the occasion. Some arrived about 15 minutes ahead and were graciously shown to our table without a problem. We were actually seated at the same table as last year. Everything was lovely and best of all staff allowed us to sit and talk for a good while as they prepared for the dinner crowd. That was a wonderful gesture and really distinguishes a great restaurant. Will definitely go again!

   We had not been to Zinc in 5 years and were looking forward to going back to one of our favorite restaurants. We were surprised that the menu had changed to more of a Thai theme. However, we ordered Japanese popcorn shrimp as an appetizer, which was phenomenal.!! My wife ordered a chicken dish and I ordered a pasta dish. Both were excellent. We intend of coming back soon

   Sat at the bar - very accommodating to the gluten free needs of someone with celiac. Excellent food - we will return.

   We very much enjoyed our visit to Zinc. The staff were welcoming and friendly. I specifically enjoyed the guidance around the new menu options. Our meal choices were delicious. We can’t wait to return.

   Food was great. We went because their sister restaurant is union league and we love that place. Only criticism is the menu is all over the place. Never had hummus and green curry in the same place before. Not sure I would call it an American bistro but the food is all really great.

    The menu was diverse and filled new foods we never enjoyed before. And the food was outstanding. The service was excellent. Our waiter anticipated our every need. He was friendly and helpful and made us feel as though we were his only table. The meal was expensive but it was fine dining. One of the best restaurants we have ever eaten in. And a great choice if you are non dairy.
