    Zinc Valrhona Chocolate Souffle
    Laura M.

    If you're looking for a go-to spot for French cuisine, Zinc Bistro never disappoints. It's easily one of our favorites. We recently enjoyed a leisurely lunch on the patio by the fountain, and the ambiance was absolutely perfect, relaxed and charming. We shared a cheese board, mussels, Zinc's house fries, and a crisp white wine, everything was delicious. We didn't feel rushed at all, which made it the perfect "lazy lunch" experience. Such a lovely day!

    Menu - November 2025

    In November, my niece was officially adopted and we wanted to celebrate, so my besties suggested this place. They had been before on Valentine's Day, and remarked that they were accommodating for having a little one in tow. Now they have two little ones (fostering to adopt). We made reservations to ensure we could get a table on a Friday night, and grateful they sat us on the patio as we had two under two dining with us. Our server was Frankie, and was very friendly with the kids. Though, we had mentioned that we were celebrating the oldest being officially adopted but that was not acknowledged. We didn't expect anything more than a congratulations, but that small effort would have been nice as the champagne we ordered was opened/delivered. The patio and interior is very beautiful with a French ambiance and charm. We ordered both wine with the Dinner for Two (Steak Dinner), and cocktails as a night cap with dessert. Additionally, we ordered the five fromages as I will always order cheese if dining somewhere that offers quality cheese. I'm glad they could accommodate a nut allergy. I thought it was a bit pricey in comparison to other cheese plates I've had as for $40 you usually more accompaniments or even larger slices of cheese. The Dinner for Two was delicious, though a bit more cooked than I'd like for medium rare. The flavor was there and the sides were delightful, so I definitely enjoyed it despite the overcook. I even enjoyed a friend's tuna tartare, which was a first time trying for me. Lastly, to end on a sweet note, the Dinner for Two comes with Zinc Soufflé. This was easily in my top five for best soufflé that I've had. Incredibly rich and indulgent! A definite item I'd order every time dining here, and I think the perfect size to share. The food alone will bring me back here, though I would prefer without the kiddos as it didn't feel like the most welcoming place for them. If there isn't a kid's menu, Auntie D is going to politely ask to pick another place. Though to celebrate the successful adoption of my niece, this place was an excellent choice! From sitting down to paying our check, three hours have passed so I would definitely plan when you have no other plans. I foresee this being a lovely spot to celebrate an adult birthday, anniversary, job promotion, or another special occasion when you want to leisurely take in the moment.

    Our favorite booth, number 10

    My wife and I have been coming to Zinc Bistro for more than 10 years and it's where we like to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary. Every time we come in the staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating. We always book a couple of weeks in advance to secure our favorite corner booth which offers privacy and a great view of the Eiffel Tower. Aside from the great service and romantic ambiance, Zinc's food is superb! Admittedly, we have our favorites and we always start with a dozen Oysters and usually go with the server's recommendation. This time we added a caviar bump, which took this delectable appetizer to another level. For our main course, we both prefer a filet with the au poivre sauce and seared foie gras. For dessert, we indulged in the chocolate souffle. This is without a doubt one of our favorite meals and something we look forward to every year.

    Zinc Burger, Bacon Blue Cheese or Truffled Gruyere*

    Zinc bistro came highly recommended by one of the chefs at Sur La Table. We were in the neighborhood and decided to try it. I wasn't very impressed by the menu but we decided to split the burger and the beet salad. With one drink and a side of fries, the bill was already almost at $100. For a burger and a salad. For lunch. I'm more than happy to pay top prices for top quality meals but this didn't really hit the mark. The burger was very average and lacked flavor. I didn't taste the truffle Gruyère at all and was most looking forward to this profile. The beef tomato advertised on the menu was cut very uneven and my half had only a sliver. The beet salad was so heavily dressed I couldn't even eat it. The fries tasted like something that came frozen that they sprinkled with a pinch of chunky Parmesan. I tried their Silver Charm mocktail, asking our server first if it was very sweet, to which she replied that it was not. I had to send it back because it was sickeningly sweet. When I told her it was too sweet, she made a comment about me being too sweet. I wasn't sure if she was trying to bring light/humor to the situation or rebuttal with sarcasm. Either way, I felt kind of uncomfortable. I don't think I would return to Zinc Bistro as I have found better French food if higher quality and more reasonable pricing at other places in town.

    I really, really like Zinc Bistro. The decor has that French bistro feel, with fringe edged velvet curtains and globe lighting fixtures. There is a sparkle Eiffel Tower in the middle of the dining room, a couple of lovely patios. There is also a full bar, Anna's plenty of bar seating. The menu is, of course, French. There were so many good choices that if made it difficult to choose. Almost immediately, someone brought a basket of bread and butter. I ordered my regular go-to, an Amaretto Sour, and hubby got an Amstel Light. For dinner we ordered: *Ahi Tuna Steak Bordelaise with spiced peppercorn crust, bok choy, parsley, black truffle, and Bone marrow bordelaise *Cassoulet Toulousaine-- confit duck leg & thigh, white beans, foie sausage, pâté maison & fermented honey glaze *Zinc Valrhona Chocolate Souffle with chocolate sauce Everything was so delicious. The crust on the ahi was to die for, with just the perfect amount of kick. You can't find cassoulet too many places in the area, but if the cassoulet I have found, this was the best--so good! The service was perfect. Our server was so friendly and attentive. Even the man who fills the water was very nice. When he boxed up my dinner, he included fresh bread. This place is perfect dates night place, so if you have a "first date" coming up, go to Zinc Bistro and your date will love it! This place is in Kierland Commons, do parking can be a little difficult. Factor that in when you have a reservation.

    Inside, at Brunch!

    We had an absolutely wonderful birthday brunch with amazing service, very attentive service, and absolutely delicious food! Having traveled to Paris several times, this is an authentic experience. The lunch crowd can be a bit loud, but it's because large groups of friends gathered. Don't miss the pistachio croissant as it is absolutely dreamy! I had the Croque monsieur and it was spot on! Husband had the omelette which was made with Greer cheese and Bechel and ham and was so good! They have a great variety of cocktails and wines and we wish we could've experienced the bread service but we splurged enough in the car area! Highly recommended!

    Rich with flavor and want a great date night? This is the place! The beef short rib was so tender that I didn't need a knife! The mashed potatoes were creamy and salted perfectly. The steak and frites were cooked perfectly! The steak was amazing and the thin crispy fries were my favorite! Can't wait to go back!

    One of my favorite go-to places for a leisurely lunch. Seared fois gras is a special treat here in the middle of the desert, and their moules frites ee so fresh that they remind me of home (Seattle). Service is always wonderful and the ambiance is fitting for a French bistro... comfortable and lively.

    Went here for a friends birthday and it was wonderful. Ate on the early side but thankfully we had a reservation as it filled up quickly. The inside was spacious and we did not feel as though we were sitting on top of other tables around us. Our server was very good and explained the menu and specials quickly and took our drink orders. I went with the Manhattan. It was really good. For my meal I went with the steak frites and it was delicious! Steak was cooked well and paired well with the sauce. There were also a lot of fries that came with it. I also tried the braised beef cheeks and they were excellent! For dessert we split the chocolate souffle. It was really good, but too much for one person, so glad we split it. Overall great meal and experience. We will be back again in the not too distant future.

    Steak tartare
    Hugh N.

    Overall, we enjoyed our dining experience. A party of 4 for a special birthday dinner and seated in the courtyard, which was a nice outdoor table setting. Susan was super nice and informative. The food was good as usual. The wine, champagne, and martini were excellent as expected. We had a feast and enjoyed it! We ordered onion soup, Prime Flat Iron, Pinot Braised Beef, roasted beet salad, steak tartare, Ahi Tuna Steak Bordelaise, seared Hudson Valley Foie Gras, Pâté Maison, Haricots Verts., and the birthday chocolate dessert was on the house. Thank you, Susan! We wished we received better service. We felt rushed throughout the dining experience. We have been here a few times, individually, and together (each one of us four). This time was a bit different, so we want to bring this up to management's attention. We learned that there was a large party going on. We wanted to be understanding; however, we were also paying customers. Susan and other staff looked overwhelmed. Our empty plates from appetizers sat for a long while, as many staff members passed by, including a lady manager. My main course came out about 25 minutes before the others. We waited for all entrees to be served at the same time. The staff brought us two glasses of wine, which was nice and efficient. She took the empty champagne flutes away and also cleared other clutter from the table. There were many staff members, but they didn't seem well coordinated. A staff delivered a Tuna Tartare to our table, and we did not accept it since we didn't order that -- we ordered Tuna Steak. These are just our observations; we have always enjoyed this place. We hope next time will be a better service experience to complete the package. Cheers!

    Always amazing! Great oyster program. Love the Shrimp Cocktail. Exceptional Omelet. Wife loved her Burger. Great vibe, excellent food, friendly and professional service. Love the patio seating. Will be back!

    We had a really nice experience here at Zinc Bistro. Zinc Bistro is located at Kierland Commons and makes you feel like you are eating at a romantic sidewalk cafe in Paris. They even have an Eiffel Tower display inside of the restaurant. I booked a reservation for two and we were given a basket of French bread and butter to start off with. Zinc Bistro provides a nice setting for conversation. I was on a first date and it was the perfect place to get to know someone while enjoying delicious food. The food was really good and so was the service. Zinc Bistro brings shellfish daily that includes oysters, clams, mussels and lobster. My date is a big oyster fan and really enjoyed the oysters here. I got the Herbed Potato Gnocchi as my entrée. Overall, we had a nice time drinking wine while enjoying the ambiance here at Zinc Bistro. The pricing was very reasonable for the level of the experience.

    Cute little French Bistro that is not so little. We just had apps and salad and it was delicious. My husband had the little bitch oysters and they were fresh and delicious. I had the seared Foie gras and it was amazing. Pricy as expected but a nice meal. The service was great. Next time I will try the steak Fritz but we are having a big dinner tonight so keeping it light for lunch.

    Enjoying our lunch

We ended up at The Mick Brasserie, where the Restaurant Week menu offered 3 courses for $55. Since it was a busy evening and we had reservations, we were seated outside on the patio. The patio itself was lovely, but unfortunately, we were absolutely inundated with mosquitoes throughout the meal, which definitely took away from the experience. Our server also seemed pretty overwhelmed with the number of tables she was managing, so service was a little hit-or-miss that evening. For my meal, I started off with the Cheese Soufflé with fig mostarda & melted leek fonduta appetizer, which was such a warm, comforting, and pleasant way to start the meal. The flavors worked beautifully together! For my entree, I had the Braised Beef Pavé Bourguignon Style with duck fat potatoes. Unfortunately, this wasn't my favorite. I found the texture a little unpleasant and the beef was somewhat dry. Lastly, for dessert I had the chocolate Peanut Butter & Jelly Mousse with crushed peanuts & cherry gel, and this dessert was decadent, smooth, and basically the fanciest possible interpretation of a PB&J. The combination of chocolate, peanut butter, and cherry was SO good. If you see this on the menu, you absolutely need to get it! My partner's meal was a complete success from start to finish: For his starter, he ordered the French Onion Soup, which was hot, savory, and full of flavor. A classic that he really enjoyed. For his entree, he chose the pan seared duck breast and this was actually his first time trying duck, and he absolutely loved it! For his dessert, he ordered the Lemon Crème Brûlée which was the perfect finish! The lemon flavor was just strong enough to complement the creamy, custardy crème brûlée base without overpowering it. In the end, perhaps next time we'll ask for a seat indoors as we enjoyed exploring the menu and would happily come back to try more of their French-inspired dishes!

They have really fun and yummy teas and drinks too! Definitely a place you have to try! A couple things to know: Parking can be tough, so I'd avoid going during peak/busy times. Also, it is definitely on the expensive side. Overall, such a cute little spot with lots to eat, drink, and shop for! the service was kind as well!

We were very tired from the night before and craving something salty. We asked for chips that weren't on the menu and she went across the street at the market place to get the chips. Not only that, she put the chips in a cute little bowl and served them. It really touched out heart The food was excellent as well. I know I'm gonna be craving their caramelized brie and apple! They play perfect music for this cozy place to set the nice ambience!

    I've been here a few times and it's been amazing every time. The service…read moreIs always superb and helps make it a good Experience. This last time we just got small bites to share and everything was delicious. We started with some really good. oysters. We also tried the melon & guanciale and confit leeks to accompany the little gems and I couldn't pick a favorite because they were all so good. On this latest visit they also had just opened the second floor to seating. I'm surprised they didn't do it sooner because I loved the nice quiet intimate setting on the second floor.

    My husband and I love French food, so we were excited to finally check out Sottise. Located inside…read morean old house in downtown Phoenix, Sottise has such a cool, unique vibe. We had a reservation and were seated right away. I selected the main dining room when making our reservation, although they also have new upstairs seating, which you can choose when booking. They have outdoor seating on the porch, but it's too hot for us this time of year. Would love to come back and dine outside when the weather cools down. The main dining room is rustic chic with exposed brick and a really fun energy. There are mostly two-top tables with a few four-tops in the center, plus a small bar with about four seats. One of my favorite details was the vinyl record player, which almost acts as the centerpiece of the room. The hostess would switch out the records throughout the evening and place the current album on the windowsill, so you knew exactly what you were listening to. We really enjoyed the music selections! One thing to note is that the main dining room is loud. I'm not sure if it's the acoustics of the old house, but it took us a little while to get used to the noise. Once we settled in, it wasn't as noticeable, but it was definitely hard to ignore at first. If you're looking for a quieter, more intimate experience, I'd recommend reserving a table upstairs. The wine list is very small, which actually made choosing a bottle really easy. We went with a Sauvignon Blanc. I've been to French restaurants like Zinc where, because of the small two-top tables, they bring your wine in a standing bucket. Sottise does something different, they have a wall of shelves where they keep your bottle. It serves almost as another centerpiece in the room. Our server and hostess were both great about keeping our glasses filled, so we didn't miss having the bottle at the table. The menu is definitely a modern take on French cuisine, and everything we ordered was delicious. We started with the Escargot de Bourgogne, and I loved that they were served in shells rather than in a traditional escargot dish. They had just the right amount of garlic, butter and light herbs. Of course, we had to order the Fresh Country Loaf with butter so we could soak up all that delicious escargot sauce. So good! Next came the Pistou Pasta and the Le Grand Loup de Mer. The pistou sauce is made with basil, garlic and olive oil, but unlike pesto, it doesn't contain cheese or pine nuts. The flavor was incredibly fresh, and the color of the noodles from the sauce was so vibrant. But the Le Grand Loup de Mer was absolutely the star of the show! The presentation was beautiful, and the sea bass was cooked perfectly with wonderfully crisp skin. It came with a light white wine beurre blanc-style sauce, and the trout roe added the perfect amount of saltiness. Definitely get this dish! We loved it so much that we ordered a second country loaf just so we could have more bread for dipping into that incredible sauce. Instead of dessert, we finished with an espresso martini. It didn't come with any coffee beans on top, so I'm guessing they may use a Nespresso-style setup and don't have whole beans on hand. It was still really good and a nice way to end the evening. Our server was great and attentive without hovering and gave us plenty of time to enjoy our meal and each other. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience at Sottise. Between the unique old-house setting, vinyl records, exposed brick, modern French food and service, it's a really memorable spot. I'd definitely come back, especially when the weather cools down so we can experience the porch or try the upstairs dining area for a quieter evening.
