The view here is amazing against the water and boats! I really enjoyed my seared cod, smoked salmon tartine, fries and strawberry chantilly cream. I would skip on the nicoise tartine as the albacore tuna was very dry. I also got the Josephine Baker which sounded good, but you can definitely tell that this is more of a healthy smoothie from the blandness. The service was good and our waiter was friendly. Overall, a great lunch spot especially sitting outside!

Steak Frites
Shani Y.

Loved the steak frites with chimichurri sauce! The steak was juicy, perfectly cooked, and very delicious. The Josephine Baker smoothie was very watery and small, which was not worth the price. I would come back for the steak frites.

Came to treat the parents for their anniversary. It was an ideal location by the water with both indoor and outdoor seating. It was raining that day so we sat inside. Made a reservation but came earlier and they kindly let us. Parking is in a very expensive lot. For 2.5hr we were there, with restaurant validation, it was still like $25. As for the food, it was pretty good. The branzino was the star perfectly cooked, deboned, and butterflied. Had some delicious sides of Brussels sprouts and Japanese sweet potatoes too. There was even some non alcoholic drink options which we appreciated. Now why the 2 stars? Well food was good, but while I can't say the service was "bad," it was just nonexistent. As I've come to realize with other people's reviews, they definitely seem to profile people here and that's really unfortunate. I'll say we were most likely the only ethnic diners at the time. The beautiful ladies at the table next to us definitely got service as well as other tables around. They give a QR code for ordering when getting seated, but the waiter has to take the first order for it to be active. So by the time he arrived, we were already ready to put the whole order. Food came out relatively quick from a runner. Then the rest of the time, the server never once checked on us. I saw him pass by and glance at our table of basically finished meals. They also don't seem to do anything for special occasions. When I finally flagged him down to mention we were finished to get the dishes cleared, he got the check ready right there and didn't even offer a dessert menu to order from. I would've ordered at least something to celebrate but wasn't worth waiting any longer. The two stars is because the food was well cooked. It seems your experience may vary based on if you look like the ones living in the area.

Steak-frites was really tasty! The potato gratin is soooo delicious! Branzino is amazing. Appetizers were great. And the location is perfect. It never disappoints.

Poke nicoise
Michelle G.

Can't beat the atmosphere, it's basically the best. Marcos was my server this evening and he was amazing, super helpful, knowledgeable, attentive and kind. Honestly, I've been here many times for coffee or tea in the morning but haven't ever really eaten at Zinque. I'm sorry to say , but it was not all that exciting. I had the poke nicoise which sounded interesting but wasn't great. It was a very heavily dressed salad with huge pieces of tuna (almost too much tuna) and the olive-vinaigrette-poke combo was a bit weird. Nevertheless, I'm sure I'll be back because as said already, great venue & for excellent service.

Fried Chicken Sandwich
Leah Y.

Definitely one of my new favorite brunch spots - made it into my top 5 (in terms of food and location, at least)! Love the casual vibe of this place. It's waterfront and can be accessed via the boardwalk (it's behind the street-side shops). Parking can be tough and very expensive - you'll likely have to park in the structure and walk over. Make sure to take your ticket with you for validation. Seating is available inside and outside on their covered patio. Plenty of space for parties of all sizes. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to make a same-day reservation for a Sunday afternoon. They had plenty of open seating even when we got there. Tables were very dirty. They have a lot of work to do - it seems like months if not years of food, dust, and salty moist air mixed together and collected in the creases in the tables, on the walls, etc.. It's like a sticky gross residue that never gets completely clean. Many people like to dress nice in the area but honestly I would hate to wear something nice here out of fear it would get dirty. We also required new plates as ours had old food stuck to them. Service was not great. Our waiter was somewhat attentive but not nice - the poor guy seemed miserable like he hated his job and did not want to be there. Despite the restaurant being full, he wouldn't come by often when we actually needed something - he even disappeared towards the end and a new waiter had to help us. Food is delicious. Besides the location, their saving grace. We tried the sandwiches and yummy! Fries were also delicious with the spicy mayo. Love the different options they have, overall. They also had some great looking food on the brunch and drinks section of the menu. You can scan the QR code at the table to see pictures of each menu item. Overall was good and we'll be back every once in a while because we love Lido. Will try sitting inside in hopes the tables are decent. Really hope management makes some improvements though!

Rigatoncini Bolognese
Paige A.

Zinqué is always a good idea. Made a reservation for a Saturday evening and we were seated immediately. We sat right along the boardwalk walkway and it was so relaxing with the water view. It was the Saturday before Mother's Day, so it was a little busier than usual, but it didn't compromise the service. Drinks came out a little slow, but the food arrived in a reasonable time. I ordered the house margarita and it was better than expected. I usually opt for wine here. The salmon was delicious and the yogurt sauce really set it off. Perfect portion, fresh, and overall a great guilt-free option. The bolognese wasn't my favorite dish, it lacked protein, but the sauce was tasty. Whether you're stopping in for apps or a full dinner, the vibes won't disappoint.

We rode our bikes to Zinke for brunch on Saturday. The location is amazing, with fabulous views out over the harbor. Our waiter was friendly and helpful, and offered suggestions when asked. We had several cocktails and shared a variety of dishes. The smoked salmon toast was delicious, as was the quiche. It was a lovely day to sit outside and, again, I cannot overstate how amazing the views are. Highly recommend!

Outdoor Seating

Came here for happy hour after a pilates class with my friend. I have been wanting to try Zinqué, and Lido is always such a nice place to visit. They offer a 3 for $24 deal during happy hour, but just know the tapas are definitely on the smaller side. We ordered the burrata Roman petite pizzas, crispy saffron rice bites (our server warned that this came with only three pieces), and the pâté de campagne. Everything tasted good, but I was a little disappointed by the portion size of the crispy saffron rice bites. They were a delicious snack, I wish it came with more. Same goes for the pâté, which was presented on 2 pieces of toast. For drinks, we had the Passion Sol and the Red Sangria. Both refreshing and delicious. The ambiance is beautiful. We sat outdoors with a harbor view, and they had heaters outside. Our table was candlelit with cozy cushioned seats. Parking is validated for 1 hour. Next time, I would probably do the 3 for $24 per person instead of sharing. I'd like to come back to try their brunch or dinner menus.

Steak-Frites and Pork Banh Mi Sandwich
Erika N.

I was in the mood for fresh and variety of flavors, Zinque was the perfect choice. It was a busy Sunday afternoon but there were still plenty of seats by the bar to enjoy food and drinks. We ordered Aperol spritz, pork banh mi, steak frites and mixed green salad. The banh mi sandwich was loaded with flavors. The thick slice of pork, pickled onions, crisp cucumber slice and spicy jalapeno meshed well with the sauce and delightful soft bread to round out the meal. Every bite was packed with flavor and even snuck a few steak pieces into for fun. The steak was cooked perfect, we asked for medium rare and paired well with the chimichurri. The greens were a nice addition along side the fries. Everything paired wonderfully together and I'm still craving all those flavors together. The vibe is very Lido and tons of wine options to fit everyone taste.

Chicken wings and Crispy Brussels Sprouts
Vivian P.

Had an amazing time at Zinque. We had a reservation at 8:30 and were seated right away. Our server was very attentive and helpful and checked on us multiple times throughout the night. The food was amazing. Highly recommend the crispy brussel sprouts which were super flavorful and crispy, le bowl which was fresh and so satisfying for a salad, and the fries which were perfectly thin and crispy. Make sure you pay using the inkind app so you can get 20% cash back here as well.

Brian K.

Nice location, pleasant service. Some of the dishes were strangely portioned out and a couple of the dishes missed the mark in flavor. The steak frites were not great. Steak was tough and the fries were just ok. The focaccia with hummus had the smallest amount of focaccia bread to go with the giant plate of hummus and the extra bread we pad for was super tiny. The grilled salmon was decent but under seasoned. The bolognese was a really small portion and didn't have enough sauce. Again, waiter was friendly but didn't come by often enough.

While the atmosphere is good, it does not make up for the bad food and terrible service. Atmosphere itself is open, rustic, and has both indoor and outdoor seating right next to the marina. The service is pretty bad as you do not get the exact items you order. Staff also do not seem to care when you try to get this resolved. First of all, do not order the french fries if you are expecting to get the Sriracha mayo dip that is noted in the description of the item. They only give you ketchup. Second, do not order the flourless chocolate cake to go. Once again, the description clearly states that it comes with ice cream, however, this is not provided when you order it to go. Third, the Comte pizzas (mini pizzas) are pretty bad. The zucchini and onion "pizza" is just four small bites. It is also 80% bread with no toppings. This is definitely not worth the price. The crispy saffron rice bites are nothing like what you would expect. I have had many good crispy rice with tuna/salmon, and this was easily the worst one of all. The rice itself is not actually crispy, and the consistency is really weird. Additionally, they should put some salt or Sriracha mayo on this for a little more flavor as the whole thing overall is quite bland. Last, the salmon plate is OK. The same itself was actually pretty well seasoned and tasty, but the rest of the components like the rice and eggplant are lacking in a lot of flavor. If you order anything to go, do not expect the restaurant to resolve any issues. I called to discuss the inconsistencies with what I received versus what is specifically stated on the menu. The employee on the phone did not care and would not provide any partial refunds for the incorrect items. Unfortunately, I would never recommend the spot to anyone.

The chef uses his free range of creativity and offers such unique and amazing ingredients in all of his dishes. He truly cares and has a passion for beautiful food. My wife and I know alot of chefs and restaurants in SoCal and this is some of the best food we can find. Chef Jonathan and his kitchen staff are all one of a kind. They shop for only the freshest ingredients and offer a variety of seasonal dishes throughout the year. The Pork Belly Taco has been a long standing menu item that literally NEVER disappoints. It is incredible. Every tostada the chef creates is amazing. And the Green Goddess dressing on their salad is worthy of bottling and drinking straight. The wine program is also incredible. The range of wine is amazing and everyone on staff is SO knowledgeable about every wine they offer. If you aren't sure about wine or how to pick out you can give them the simplest explanation of what wine you want and they will bring over several bottles to chose from and will give you an in depth and beautiful description of all of them before you decide what you want. Amazing food, wine, music and vibes are all huge perks but what really sets Bar Tinto over the edge is the hospitality and kindness of all the staff. Great for date night, for a night out with friends, a spot to bring the parents too, literally any occasion. We look forward to sitting in tinto and enjoying the food and wine at least twice a week!!

We got the chili-scramble and breakfast ciabatta. The chili oil on the scramble was a nice touch to just regular eggs but overall the dish was too dry. I asked for a side of aioli which helped but it'd be nice if it already came with some kind of sauce. The bread on both the eggs and sandwich were great quality and texture though. Also tried 2 of their spritzes and both were nice and refreshing - surprisingly strong for a spritz!

The staff was unprofessional, disrespectful, and showed a complete lack of communication. We were completely ignored for 45 minutes, with no updates, no explanation, and no acknowledgment. After making us wait all that time, a staff member finally came back just to tell us we needed to put our name on the waitlist. Why wasn't this communicated to us in the first place? The way we were treated made us feel unwelcome and discriminated against. It honestly felt like we were being treated differently, which raised serious concerns about racism and unfair treatment. This was a complete waste of our time. The lack of respect, poor communication, and unprofessional behavior were unacceptable. No customer should have to beg for basic attention or wait 45 minutes just to be told to sign up for a waitlist. Terrible customer service. Management seriously needs to address how their staff treats customers.
