    Food is really good, service was excellent. however, when we had our food getting packed up, we said we’d like to take all of our food and once my family and I got home, we realized that they didn’t put all of our food in the to go boxes. We were missing some leftovers; a ribeye steak and a few sides.

    This was our first visit to Liberty Station. As we entered, we found the decor to be warm and inviting. Our server visited the table shortly after we arrived. She was very knowledgeable about the menu, offering suggestions, and was attentive during the whole meal. A happy hour menu was offered, so our first drinks were at a reduced price which was a good value. We had the wings on the happy hour menu, which were not the best value, however, they were nicely cooked and flavorful. The walleye fish was very good and the accompanying roasted potatoes were outstanding! The trout was a little fishy, however, the green beans and potatoes sides were tasty. Our friend felt the pork dish had a really good flavor, but contained far more pasta than pork, which was not to his liking. All entrees were moderately priced. We did not have dessert. We enjoyed the experience and will definitely return to try some of the other menu items.

    Party of 7 for wife and her sisters birthday. French martinis - 10/10, steak tartare 10/10, everyone’s entrees very flavorful and hot. My steak frites au poivre was cooked to perfection 10/10. Complimentary chocolate soufflé for birthday girls was a very nice touch and delicious. Service was friendly and on point. We have been coming to Zinc for years and can always count on them for a perfect evening.

    Too much noise during our visit - we love this place but felt like we were yelling sitting across from each other in a booth.
