Deb is a fabulous server! She was very attentive, helpful and happy. Our food was so great! We both ate dishes we’d never tried before (the turkey wrap and Chef Chopped Salad) with the exception of the French onion soup which is a must whenever we go there! We wish they had prepurchase gift cards like The H Hotel does!! Can’t wait for our next meal there! And again, we loved Deb as our server!

I have been to this restaurant many times and have loved it, but this was a terrible meal! Salmon was tough, filet was just ok, and my mashed potatoes were lukewarm. I was without water for most of the second half of the meal, and our server was not very accessible, even though there were only 8 others in the restaurant. By the way, French onion soup was not hot in the least. Very disappointing since I had raved about how I love this place to the couple I treated to dinner.

Melody was great! She was accommodating, professional, friendly, and helpful! She has the right balance of “being there” without hovering or making me feel hurried! Our food was outstanding, as always!!!

The restaurant was very busy but the hostess was with us right away. We had drink service immediately. They were properly staffed for how busy they were. Our server Melissa was very attentive and friendly. I enjoy the cozy atmosphere but the down side is how loud other guests can be on a busy pre holiday Saturday.

The French dip sandwich was excellent! The onion au jus was tasty for dipping. I would order this again. Cinnamon roll from the counter was not good…stale, dry.

I am sorry to hear about the Cinnamon roll, I will make sure the culinary staff is aware of this. I am glad to hear that the French dip was wonderful.

We love Cafe Zinc for a quiet conversation over a delicious meal. We love familiar menu items as well as new favorites that change with the seasons. Tonight’s beet, goat cheese, kale and walnut salad was excellent!

Robert, thank you so much! I will make sure to pass along the compliments to the Culinary Team.
