Zinc review by Mel K

Efficient, if not warm & fuzzy, service; good food; and great tables. Although almost always crowded, the wait for table at breakfast/brunch is usually short, and once seated, it's a great breakfast experience as the food is yummy and the tables are big enough to eat & read the paper at the same time (even if dining with others). Service is good - orders are taken quickly and are accurate, food arrives promptly - but isn't necessarily warm. I think there's a bit of an 'insiders/outsiders' vibe to the service, as attentiveness and friendliness seems ever-better each time we go and are greeted as regulars. BTW: in warm weather, it's a decent place to bring kids, as there's generally room to park a stroller next to the table.
