Ever since moving to Midland this past August for some temporary work, I’d heard good things about Café Zinc, and have been itching to go. My brother’s birthday was the perfect opportunity to check it out. And yes, it was as good as advertised. Near 70 degree weather in November, no less made sitting at one of the outdoor tables a treat. Our waiter, Luciano, was attentive and professional with a nice, low-key sense of humor. My lunch partners began with a tasty, albeit different take on our Lebanese family favorite, hommos, followed by a Caesar salad with chicken and a Croque Monsieur with a side of Parmigiano-Regiano pommes frites thin n’ crispy fries. Plates were duly cleaned. I ordered the same frites to go with a duck confit salad, the latter of which was tender and juicy, if not quite as hot as I would have liked. All these goodies were accompanied by a couple of glasses of a refreshingly smooth 2019 Arona Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand, a 2016 Drouhin Chardonnay from Burgundy, and a 2019 Camina Tempranillo from Castilla, Spain. It was a very nice lunch experience. And my sister-in-law has a birthday next month. Guess where we’re going?
Very nice place, food was perfectly cooked. My wife ordered the onion soup appetizer and I hate onions and this was the very best onion soup in the world. I would order this every time from here. As you can see our fish was also cooked perfectly. If you are going make sure you call for reservations. We didn't call but we were able to be seated at the counter. This one of my wife's and I favorite place to for special occasions. If you want to impress your date or your wife this is a 5 star place.
My first experience at Cafe Zinc was lovely. The atmosphere reminded me of a Manhattan restaurant chic but cozy. The food was delicious and our service was prompt and professional. A great spot for girls’ brunch or date night.
First time there and OMG! The food and atmosphere was phenomenal. If you haven't at there yet, you definitely need to try it our first yourself, you won't regret it.
Cafe Zinc Eggs Benedict was delicious . The hash browns were cooked perfectly and no need for ketchup they were seasoned perfectly. Our server Meagan was on point. I was able to ask for a drink that wasn’t on the menu and it was probably one of the best tequila espresso martinis I have had. Jeff and I will be making this establishment a regular stop
Love the ambiance, the French onion soup was decent, but the fruit tart was delicious. Have been many times before and will definitely go back.Food: 5/5
Service is amazing, food is even better. We could argue over which was better and never come to a decision. Highly recommend the Portobello Ravioli, Filet, and literally anything out of their desert selection.Dine in: Yes
Stopped here about 4:30pm on a Saturday and were able to be seated immediately on the L shaped patio without reservations. They provide a basket of warm assorted bread for an appetizer. My entree was the fish tacos with fries and I had the creme brûlée for dessert. The fish tacos were very good with plenty of chipotle sauce. The creme brûlée was plentiful and prepared perfectly. Service was excellent keeping our water glasses filled on a extremely hot and humid day. Flat top tables with wicker chairs outside. Cloth napkins. Wifi. Limited street parking. Inside was very elegant but my party wanted to sit outside due to COVID concerns. The only negative was loud vehicles music, motorcycles, mufflers going by. Moderately high prices but probably the lowest in the trio of restaurants there. 118, the H and Cafe Zinc. I would recommend and would return.
TLDR: Good food, but pricy. $68 for one cocktail, a steak, and a tip Allot a good two hours for a meal here or you’ll feel rushed. Manager has a bit of an attitude, hopefully just caught her on a bad day. Overall, I’ll likely give them another chance but I think we made a poor choice in restaurants for doing dinner and a show. I went with my great aunt and my mom as my great aunt had been here before with a friend and really enjoyed it. I didn’t care for the attitude of the manager, she needs some additional training on customer service. We showed up a little early for our reservation and they hadn’t cleared the table yet, which was totally fine. A couple walked in without a reservation and was immediately seated. My great aunt got a little anxious that we got forgotten about and inquired why they got seated first. The manager gave us a ton of attitude and told us that we needed to “wait 2 whole minutes” for them to finish up. As someone who has worked in customer service for 7 years, I know there were much more polite and less rude ways to handle the situation. We did eventually get seated, even before our reservation time which we appreciated. I believe we were seated by 5:50 when our reservation was at 6. The waitress was excellent and attentive. We ordered our food and drinks at the same time highly recommend!. Our drinks came out quickly and were very good. I got the Paloma and my mother got some white wine. We chatted and enjoyed ourselves and then noticed the time was now 6:30 and we still hadn’t gotten our food. Normally I wouldn’t care but we had a 7:30 show we had to catch and were planning on leaving at 7. We gently checked in with the waitress and the food was out within 10 minutes. I ordered the Filet Mignon, my mom ordered the Salmon, and my great aunt ordered the broiled branzino. I ordered my steak medium and it came a little over medium well. Otherwise my dish was excellent. Asparagus was some of the best I’ve ever had. Potatoes were basically fancy scalloped potatoes, but still very tasty. Sauce on the steak was delicious, but surprisingly spicy. Not overwhelming but not what I anticipated. My mother said she enjoyed her salmon. She regularly cooks it at home and is hesitant to try it at restaurants as it’s difficult to get right. She said the salmon exceeded her expectations and was something above what she could cook at home. My great aunt enjoyed her boiled branzino which was a white fish, but the menu stated it was supposed to come with lump crab and it was either so small it blended in with the quinoa or wasn’t included. My biggest disappointment was that we ran out of time for dessert as the dessert case looked absolutely delicious from top to bottom.
This was my first time visiting Cafe' Zinc and I highly recommend it for atmosphere and delicious food, my server was a little slow about bringing coffee at the start but still a lovely restaurant for breakfast. Their quiche was delicious! I've continued to come several times and enjoy it each time. I really appreciate the cleanliness of the restaurant and bathrooms.
