mussels and fries, tuna tartine, quinoa beet salad
Angie Y.

Such a gorgeous spot with lots of fresh, healthy options. The patio feels like a little oasis after the craziness of shopping at Century City Mall. As a first-time visitor, though, I found the dining process pretty chaotic. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to sit and order from a QR code, order at the counter where there was a line, or whether the food would be brought out to us. Some of the busser staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, but I found the counter staff less receptive when I had questions. The food itself was beautifully plated and tasted very fresh. I ordered the mussels, tuna tartine, and beet quinoa salad, and everything was delicious (particularly the bread that they use). Portions are generous, though the prices reflect that just don't expect CAVA prices I'd probably order less next time.

If you're shipping around Century City, this spot is a perfect place to sit down and get some good healthy food! I loved their salmon plate, the portion was perfect, and it came with a delicious sauce on the side. Their lychee martini was very refreshing. I really enjoyed my dinner here, and felt like the prices were also aligned with the quality.

Spanish Chickpea Curry with Chicken
Ara G.

The Bottom Line 3 stars: An "OK" stop for a proper sit down lunch or dinner or to have some drinks and tapas with friends at the bar, when visiting the Century City Shopping Center. Location 3 stars: At the Westfield Century City Shopping Center in Century City, California. Your parking options are self or valet parking at the mall's parking structure and most businesses including Zinque do NOT validate parking, so be prepared to pay $10-$30 for parking. Possibilities for street parking are very limited if any. Venue 4 stars: Upscale décor and ambiance. Indoor tables and booths, outdoor tables and a full bar with its own high tables. They have Happy Hour, currently Monday Thru Friday, 4 PM to 6 PM. Please see the menu that I have posted. Service 3 stars: Staff were polite but were slow and not attentive. Food 3 stars: French and Mediterranean fare. Their menu consists of appetizers, tapas, pasta, cheese and charcuterie, and main plates. Prices are slightly on the higher end of the spectrum. We had the Spanish Chickpea Curry with Chicken and the Seared Cod. Both were good but not memorable. I understand they also have Breakfast and Brunch. Drinks 4 stars: Full bar, some specialty cocktails, beer. wine and soft drinks. Prices are reasonable.

Le Bowl (GF)

My friends and I were hungry after a movie, so we walked around the mall to find a place to eat. We were a group of 8 and thought we had to resort to the food court, but Zinque was able to accommodate all of us, including a dog! We loved their QR code system so we could easily split the bill. We just needed to order with the waiter to start the order first. All the food was delish and the servings were large enough for us to share with each other. They brought us sharing plates and even offered water for my dog. Excellent service and the ambiance was so nice outside especially during the sunset. Very great spot for a date night too!

They called it a bahn mi, but I call it a pork sandwich.

We went to Zinqué on a Sunday for brunch, and it was fine. They accommodated us outside with our dog and it was a beautiful California day in Century City. Our server was cool and bonded with us over dog stories, which was probably one of the better parts of the experience. I ordered the pork bánh mì, but it was really a pork belly sandwich on crusty bread with some bánh mì inspiration. Kind of annoying. Don't call it a bánh mì. My wife had the Le Breakfast Bowl, which was perfectly fine and healthy enough to leave room for dessert later. I'm not hating on Zinqué. The Santa Monica location is a vibe, and I love meeting my friend there for coffee. This Century City location just felt like a cardboard cutout of what Zinqué is supposed to be. The bar looks impressive, so maybe it comes alive at night. For brunch, though, it wasn't bad. It just didn't knock our socks off. Thankfully, the weather did.

Fresh Berry Crumble + Ice Cream (V)
Michelle T.

It's been a hot minute since I've had such a disparity between excellent food and poor service, but here I am. Zinqué was a real mixed bag. I'll start with the good. The hostess was super- nice and promptly seated me. My main entree was actually quite spectacular. I had Le bowl and it was a five star dish. I could eat it every day. I chose the option with the frittata and it was the best frittata I've ever had. The forbidden rice with the spicy mayo and the cheese harmonized very well with the arugula. Yes. This is an excellent dish- definitely try this if you want something on the lighter side. The atmosphere is also very nice. It's a chic restaurant and has a sophisticated atmosphere. Now the bad- after I was seated by the hostess the waiter took my order. It was the driest exchange and I really felt like something was up, like maybe he was checked out. Well, after my food was brought out, I was in the middle of eating and I saw my waiter leave for the day. He was wearing a jacket, hat and carrying a backpack. He totally bailed on me with no handoff. I waited a while. No one checked on me. I kept looking at waiters assisting other tables, no one noticed me. I was totally abandoned. Annoyed; I saw a QR Code on the table and it was a portal to order more items. My tab wasn't even searchable. I finally got up and went to the bar to let the bartender know that I had not been checked up on, and that I had seen my waiter leave the building like 20 minutes ago. He apologized and said that he got cut because it was slow, and another waiter heard this and met me at the table so he could take my dessert order. But the damage was done. The berry crumble was okay, but I was already pretty turned off by this place. I was so disappointed how such a promising meal took a complete nosedive. The lack of a handoff is what really irritated me. The waiter totally left and it's like I couldn't believe he was just walking out the door without telling anyone. If it was so slow, how did I fall through the cracks? I had tables on both sides of me that got waited on and it's like I was a ghost. Zinqué had great food (well, Le bowl at least), a kind hostess but the actual experience was bad. I can only think of one other time in my life where I was totally forgotten about like this. Very memorable, but in a bad way.

Candle charge is not shown
Cassandra C.

Came here on Memorial Day to celebrate my bestie's birthday and upon arrival there was no hostess (FYI I've been here countless times and am used to getting seated) so we had to flag someone down to ask and was told to sit anywhere and order via QR code (which I thought was new since I never had to do this before) so we did. Regarding service, it took about 10-15 mins for just our drinks to come out and while waiting, we asked our server if they have birthday freebies and someone named Josh said they have something special they could do. Our food order came out within 20ish mins and we had to ask for utensils but they only gave two pairs (there's four of us but we just made do since we were starving). I've always liked the food at Zinque, and the ambiance has always been a cool vibe. However, the problem was when our server (not Josh but another guy) brought out a nice, small piece of cake with ice cream and candle, and then immediately whipped out a card reader and proceeded to charge us for it (INCLUDING THE CANDLE!). We tried to contest it and let them know we weren't told there would be a charge and our server blatantly looked at us and, with a callous attitude, said "we can discount it but that's the best we can do." I understand that the restaurant may have been short staffed today but I don't think that should excuse the poor service (especially since I've received excellent service here plenty of times in the past!). All my foodie reviews are positive and for this to be my first negative one says a lot. Very disappointed and will not be coming back.

Salmon
Karen L.

Stopped for a quick early dinner with a friend after a hard day of shopping at Century City mall. The salmon was delicious and came on a bed of mixed rice and greens. The portion was generous and was enough to take part home. Given it was a beautiful day we sat outside which was very comfortable. The service was spot on. The only downside is that parking is so expensive at the mall and there's no validation.

Dana M.

After doing a little bit of shopping I had some time to waste before my next event. So my friend and I stopped here for drinks and fries to nibble on. They have indoor and outdoor seating (I recommend outdoor if it's a nice day out). We came on a Wednesday early evening and to my surprise it was not crowded at all. No wait. We walked in and sat at the bar (bar is open seating). The bartender was very pleasant and attentive. He made really good drinks! They have a few specials and they also have happy hour. Although I only ordered fries, the guy next to me ordered a burger and it was big and looked yummy. He ate every bite so I assume it was good lol. If you are at century city mall and looking for a place for a quick drink or a bite to eat..... I would recommend Zinque.

The view from outside the bar
Talaya C.

I only go here for the drinks, have never tried the food hence the reason for the 4 stars. Other than that, customer service is exceptional for the two times I have visited this restaurant bar, the drinks are amazing and always taste so yummy! The ambiance is very cool during the day AND night! So glad me and my sister ended our lovely day here a couple weeks ago because it definitely put the cherry on top! Now she has a new bar she can even tell her friends about! I will be back forsure!

Salmon with Ratatouille (VG, GF) and Aperol Spritz
Karissa L.

Zinqué is one of my favorite places to take a break while shopping at Westfield Century City. I stopped in for happy hour and was pleasantly surprised by how reasonable the prices were. I ordered the salmon over wild rice with an Aperol spritz and sat on the patio, which was especially nice on a sunny afternoon. The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. I'd happily bring friends from out of town here for lunch or happy hour, or just stop in after shopping. I'll definitely be back for the patio, the atmosphere, and the happy hour.

brunch/lunch menu
Shawn E.

I really like the Zinc location in Century City. The service isn't always the best, and the food can take a little while to come out, but the food never disappoints. We ordered a flat white, which was amazing, the quinoa burrito, which was fresh, healthy, and really good, and the tuna tartine, which is my wife and my favorite. It's always delicious. Overall, it's a great spot for brunch with fresh, tasty food. We'll definitely be coming back.

Baklava latte
Polina T.

My mom and I came by for brunch on a Tuesday and the food was delicious - can't speak much for service as the only interaction we had with an employee was ordering at the front . I got the protein bowl and my mom got le breakfast bowl . Both are very filling - it honestly held me over nearly all day long . The crispy garbanzo beans in le breakfast bowl are so good, and the roasted pepper feta dip in the protein bowl is yummy !! I also got the baklava latte which I loved - not too sweet with a perfect hint of cardamom . Would definitely come back !

The best dining experience in Beverly Hills I've ever had!…read more From the moody decor to the food to the service, everything was so well curated and refined. The caviar omakase is the must order thing here. Everything is very small bites, but if you are mostly there for drinks then à la carte is a good option. The omakase was fantastic - nice sized portions of caviar, paired with thoughtful items like a mini lobster roll, a salmon burger, and even ice cream. The drinks are also delightful - you can taste the notes of every ingredient and nothing was too overpowering or unbalanced. But the service is by far the main reason we'll be back. The staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly, on top of being knowledgeable and presenting the menu in a well practiced way. They made this birthday dinner so special and went above and beyond. They do automatically add gratuity but I would've tipped more than that if possible. Incredible spot in Beverly Hills and more private and tucked away than some of the overly packed tourist destinations.

We ended up at the Maybourne Bar in the Maybourne hotel, a solid B+ lobby bar that I'd visit again under similar circumstances. The space was attractive but the vibe was strange, if not uncomfortable. Just weirdly bright lighting and a different crowd from the usual L.A. bar scene (hotel, Beverly Hills). It was pretty quiet at 10:00 on a Saturday night, and we were able to grab seats at the bar. Service was fast and polite. We ordered a Midas Touch and a Big in Japan, both decent cocktails that cost a full $30 apiece. The Midas Touch was a colorful spicy margarita with El Tesoro Maybourne Edition Reposado, Empirical Ayuuk, Grand Marnier Louis Alexandre, saffron, lemon, and honey. Big in Japan was a Gold Rush variation with Hibiki Harmony, sudachi honey, lemon, sansho pepper, and yuzu bitters. There are better, more interesting cocktail bars all over L.A., but I'd recommend the Maybourne Bar if you're staying at the hotel or otherwise looking for an upscale bar in downtown Beverly Hills. You can get food, too, though most of it seems to involve caviar.

At one point, he even spilled food on our table, and overall the service felt inattentive and dismissive. We also had to remind him multiple times that we were celebrating a birthday, which was frustrating considering it was supposed to be a special dinner. For the type of restaurant Dante presents itself as, I expected much better service.

I've been to the Lucky Tiki in HLP and finally had the opportunity to check out the WeHo location…read more The occasion - my "brother's" birthday. We had reservations for a Sunday night and were seated at the best table in the house. This speakeasy cocktail lounge is small & dimly lit, which creates a cozy & intimate atmosphere. The Polynesian inspired décor is on point. Bamboo beaded curtains, thatched lamps, tropical prints, & an eight-foot tiki statue add to the charm. Our server Sean was fantastic with a capital F! He entertained us the entire evening. Of course, Tiki cocktails served in kitschy glassware are the main attraction but they also offer Island inspired dishes if you are hungry. (You can also order food from Tail O' The Pup downstairs.) The building was once the recording studio for The Doors, so we had to order The Ghost of Jim Morrison. Sean delivered the flaming drink while singing a Doors tune. Elvis in Hawaii arrived on a platter with an Elvis head on it. Lucky Tiki Old Fashioned was presented in a treasure chest with smoke coming out of it. The Flying Fish came in a cool Blowfish vessel. The Lucky Mai Tai was one of the best, the Classic Daiquiri was nicely balanced, and the Rum Barrel packed a punch. All the drinks were tasty and strong so we ordered a few nibbles: Coconut Shrimp, Lucky Orange Chicken, & Wok-Fried Chow Mein. The food was yummy and hit the spot.

The drinks are strong, but also flavorful as they tend to come with tropical flavors to pair with the different rums and other spirits.

And they are usually over filled with ice, for presentation. You can also order food at the table, which comes from the hot dog restaurant below the tiki bar, so that's a nice touch to add a little sustenance to your drinking. Drinks come out as ordered, but the bar is usually full so they can take a while to get to the table. Just an FYI. Lucky Tiki is a fun bar with creative cocktails and little shows with some of the drinks, but too many tasted watered down (again, a lot of ice in the drinks). But the vibe is fun and it's a nice spot to come to with a group of friends.
