Zinc Wine Bistro - Menu

Nice place, good food, friendly service. Zocalo deserves your visit.

I always assumed Zinc was a hoity toity jointAnd in some ways it certainly isWhat you don't get is snooty staff or stuffy patrons.

Wonderful scallops and our salmon selection was cooked to perfection. Sat outside, which was comfortable and the waiter was attentive. View menu

On a recent trip to Albuquerque, my lovely wife and I enjoyed many fine meals featuring wonderful New Mexican cuisine. But one evening towards the end of

We have eaten here many times. Salmon is always great and so is the tuna tartare. The smoky groats and the cous cous are divine! They used to have delicious rolls that they served with olive oil. I was sad to see that they no longer offered them.

Zocalo was recommended to us by a family member and we were not disappointed. The food and drinks were amazing. Everything was fresh and had a wide range of visual and palate attractions. Each of us chose a different entre and we tried each other out. The WOWs went on around the table, from yellow tomato / cucumber gazpacho, meatballs, steak, softshell crab, scallops ... delicious, delicious, delicious! All dinners came with beautiful pages that were incredible. I will definitely come again. View menu

It had been a few years since we'd been to Zocalo, but it was every bit as good as we remembered it. There were still some favorites on the menu, but some new dishes as well, and they didn't disappoint. This is the one menu among many in Charlottesville that is truly different and exciting. I had the duck breast, which was perfectly cooked and accompanied by a great sauce, braised chard and an onion and manchego bread pudding, and my wife loved her salmon. My starter, the tuna tartar, was too die for and had a healthy kick to it. Highly recommended!

Always good food with a nice presentation. We ate outside on a cozy early summer evening. We started by ordering mussels (not as spicy as shown and very good) and the spinach salad with fried oysters - all excellent. The main courses of pork chop and duck were well prepared. The chard with tiny pieces of bacon with the duck was a nice change. The cherry compote was a bit overwhelming. Tried the Bonarda red wine (usually matured in stainless steel so it lacked the soft, fruity taste) but returned to a reliable Malbec. Had a server in training that did a good job; Her mentor didn't smile much, which was disappointing. Overall, a pleasant meal.

Our family enjoyed the outdoor seating and the waiters did a great job of quickly pushing other tables in when it was raining out of the blue. We were under an umbrella and a big tree and didn't have to move and the rain stopped quickly. Our teenage kids weren't in many nice restaurants and they loved the creative starters, especially the homemade croutons on the Caesar salad, delicious! We all had very good meals and were too full for dessert, which is unfortunate because I have eaten the chocolate bread pudding with Baileys before and it is divine! There are so many tasty options and we enjoyed the scallops as well as the duck, key lime chicken and the flank. You can't go wrong! View menu
