Zinc Wine Bar & Bistro
One of the snazzier spots in Nob Hill, Zinc captures the essence of a sleek neighborhood bistro with its high ceilings, hardwood floors, lovely zinc-clad bar, and table-seating replete with white tablecloths, dim lighting, and dark-wood chairs. While atmosphere here does indeed sometimes trump the food, well worth considering are the starter of crispy duck-confit egg rolls with curry-chile-lime dipping sauce and the Manhattan steak frites or seared ahi tuna for your main. A paired vintage may readily be found on their extensive wine list. Or enjoy live music and a limited lighter-bite menu downstairs in the Cellar Bar. The kitchen uses organic ingredients whenever available, and is pleased to accommodate vegans and others with special dining needs.
