The food quality was very good, and everything tasted great. The service from all staff members was amazing, and everyone was polite and friendly. We came here for a date night and will definitely be back!

Food is always “just ok.” Partner had the fillet which was over cooked. I had the fish which was boring. Service very good, ambience nice, idea of an upscale French restaurant is enticing. But we're always disappointed in the food, so why go back?

I took my friend to Cafe Zinc for breakfast to celebrate her birthday. Our server Kathy was very friendly, professional and attentive. Our breakfast entrees were delicious, and my friend appreciated being able to choose a dessert of her choice as a birthday gift. My husband and myself enjoy going to Cafe Zinc at least once a month for breakfast.

Delicious food: highly recommend the calamari and marinated olives as appetizers. Would recommend any of the entrees especially any on the three for $32, which is very reasonable for salad/soup, entree and dessert. A restaurant worth returning to, which unfortunately we haven't found in a while (even in nyc). Zinc could easily compete and flourish in the nyc restaurant market! I forgot to mention a limited but well represented wine list and a well seasoned mixologist who is able to prepare any cocktail. Enough said “bon appetite”!!

Ordered the new "fall" version of the power bowl, which was outstanding! The service is always great and hostess welcoming.

There is a clear disconnect between the quality of customer service and the pricing. While I have continued to dine at Cafe Zinc, I continue to get poor customer service. This will likely be my final dining experience at the establishment.

Normally, this is a great place that we have frequented for years. When friends or family are around and/or a special occasion, Cafe Zinc has been a go to. Generally, friendly service along with awesome food. 10/5 was the exception but such an egregious one that has spawned this review. We had a reservation at 10:30am but were ignored until a second request to be seated was made (as others were arriving and seated prior to us). Once seated, we waited for the service that we have come to expect from Cafe Zinc. We waited for this service for over one hour hour and 45 minutes. Our coffee cups were regularly left empty. Once the food arrived at 11:30 (no delay in our menu choices), it was cold. My chef special Benedict was served cold and unable to be enjoyed. The other 3 members of our party also advised that their food was cold. We were offered a desert to take with us but after this experience no member of the brunch party wanted to partake. I was later advised that the food that I ordered would be removed from the bill (as if there was another choice as it was only tasted and 98% sent back). This experience still cost over $100 for 4 people trying to enjoy brunch and coffee. All while I was being told that everything came out warm (after an hour and 30 minutes, it must be my fault for not eating it fast enough). I am close to a permanent ban but due to other great experiences, might be willing to give it another try but will be wary. It is sad when your go to places serve up such a disappointing experience. I urge Cafe Zinc to take a close look at what can be done to make sure all their reservations are treated like the gift that they are.

The French Onion soup was amazing. My friend had the shrimp gyro and loved it!

Nothing like breakfast at Cafe Zinc! My wife and I split an omelette. It came with hash browns, bacon, and toast. Yum Yum!
I love the salmon avocado toast they have on the weekends for brunch. All their food is great. Service can be great or just ok. It’s never bad though.

Took a close friend to lunch for her birthday. The outdoor patio was lovely and staff made her feel special with a handmade card & complimentary dessert at the end which were both pleasant surprises. Our coffees and salads were delicious and she also enjoyed her cup of french onion soup. Our server was perfect as he was friendly and accommodating without being overattentive and I appreciated that we were not rushed or feeling pressured to leave. Highly recommend Zinc.

Delightful spot for lunch for 4 after touring the Dow Gardens. We ate outside and were well accomplished. Hummus and olive appetizers were flavorful. Salads and sandwiches were high quality. The inside bakery had a assortment of artisan type desserts that were irresistible. We took home a piece of carrot cake and a piece of hazelnut crunch based Boston creme cake. They were superb, not only in taste but also presentation. We will definitely eat there again in the near future.

My guest and I both got a salad and the filet. Exceptional preparation, the freshest lettuce and veggies, and the filets cut like butter and cooked exactly as requested. Sat on the patio and had an excellent meal. Completely unexpected in Midland. Worth the money.
