| Zinc Wine Bar & Bistro is built on three levels---a cozy cellar bar, the main dining room at street level, and a mezzanine that provides a bird’s-eye view of the action below. Its proprietors are twins Keith and Kevin Roessler, who ran Seasons Rotisserie & Grill near Old Town for their uncle for many years. Their experience shows in a sophisticated menu that’s streamlined for today’s sippers and grazers. While baked Brie with almonds gets a boost atop bruschetta, smoked trout-potato pancakes become even more pungent with truffle vinaigrette. Entrées are divided between bistro classics like steak frites and seasonal specials such as surf ‘n’ turf glammed up with pan-seared elk and a rock shrimp vol-au-vent. The lengthy, well-rounded wine list, meanwhile, is designed for pairing and sharing, with an emphasis on selections by the glass, half-glass and carafe on the one hand and flights on the other. Adding to the fun, Zinc hosts a variety of events weekly, from Martini & Movie Nights to a Wednesday wine and cheese tasting. |
