ZINC New Haven

"I've eaten tuna steaks up and down the coast and this is the best, but that's besides the point. This restaurant is run with passion. It's run with dedication to an amazing product coupled with amazing service and people are who are truly engaged in your experience. Their attention to the true satisfaction of every customer was easily noticed. Bottom line is, you can be talking to the owner or the bus boy and feel like everyone is proud of the job they are doing. And they should be. Amazing experience."

"What an absolutely wonderful meal and service. The food was absolutely delicious. They served us some flatbread with a spicy red sauce which was delicious. I had the pork tenderloin and it was cooked perfectly served with carrots. The tenderloin was so full of flavor. My girlfriend had the duck breast and she totally loved it. For dessert we had the caramel apple tart. It was the perfect way to end the meal. The service was excellent, very attentive and friendly."

"The service and presentation I found to be the highlights of our experience. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and helpful, supporting us in navigating the limited menu. The dishes were certainly vibrant in color and organized in a manner that was aesthetically quite pleasant. Despite this, I personally felt the flavor profile of the food didn't equate to the price point. We paid about $200 for two appetizers, entrees, and desserts. It was a good experience, but none of the dishes really stood out. They sound intriguing at first glimpse on the menu but didn't really deliver in a way you'd expect or hope for."

"ZINC came highly recommended by a friend, so I celebrated my birthday there. We were a party of 7. The atmosphere and decor is very nice, and we had a great table by the window. Service was great from the moment we walked in. Drinks were very unique. The wine list extensive. We were started off with two small plates, compliments of the house...cucumber with salmon and something else, that was delicious, and yummy bread with fennel and some other spices, with a dipping sauce that was also delicious. I had the pork tenderloin, and it was superb! In retrospect, I should've tried ZINC without kids (we had a 10 and 7 year old kids with us), the menu is fascinating but not really for kids (my daughter did devour the pork belly, but not the gin soaked watermelon). Going to come back without the kids."

"This restaurant offers a fantastic variety of appetizers, entrees, and drinks that are sourced from local food producers. The atmosphere is great, and the staff is attentive and friendly, ensuring that you have a comfortable and enjoyable dining experience. Additionally, parking is available either on the street or in a nearby garage, and the restaurant provides a token for the garage. However, the only downside is that it is a bit expensive. Despite this, if you are looking for a great restaurant with excellent local food, top-notch service, and a welcoming atmosphere, this restaurant is definitely worth checking out."
