Living in Augusta, Maine, I don't dine in "modern American cuisine" places too often, but while in New Haven for a conference recently I stumbled upon Zinc. I wasn't extremely hungry and was attracted by the small plated advertised in the display outside. Upon being seated, I learned that those are only for dinner (if this had not been messed... more

Just want to put in a good word for Zinc. Love the fact that they have the option for small plates. The flavors are wonderful and it's a "feel good place."

Zinc is tops for fine dining in New Haven. The food is organic and non antibiotic which is 5 star in my book. I don't mind paying for quality. There is always something unique and yummy on the menu. Their fish dishes are my favorites, always moist and as delightful to the eye as well as to the taste buds.... more

EXCELLENT! Local, organic foods prepared well...not pretentious food. Atmosphere and wait staff could use some polishing but the drinks make up for it (go for the pear martini). more
