Zinc Wine Bar & Bistro Description:
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: grilled artichokes get stuffed with chicken and cheese, then gratinéed and served with lemon-caper aioli, while signature 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 Alaskan halibut over wild mushroom risotto with fava beans, sugar snap peas and braised baby red artichokes in a charred tomato-chile-lime beurre blanc (whew!); there are occasional daily specials as well. 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 and movie nights to a Wednesday wine and cheese tasting.
