zinc @ shade Reviews List

zinc @ shade

A true fusion of coastal living with LA nightlife. We turn the lights down low, mix a sultry Martini, pour a glass of Napa Cab, prepare a spread of small plates. Cool, hip, comfortable, inviting, you'll relax in our neo-modular furniture designed by Christopher Lowell. Zinc has perhaps the longest bar in South Bay. In the lounge or on the terrace, you can enjoy our menu of unusual small plates, both sweet and savory. Through a unique European wine preservation system, we offer a large selection of fine wines by the glass. The food, the drink, the environment, the service. Zinc is an indulgence -- a sensory experience.

"Everything seems apt for sharing, overall a decent selection of bar aperitif.
complaint was that their Manhattan served over an iced tumbler sounds like a good idea until the liquid melts the tumbler and you end up putting some drink on yourself. Nice idea, probably a combination of my poor drink etiquette and an idea that is better seen and not embibed."

"A great find at the end of a spectacular day! A relaxed, spontaneous day laced with a leisurely stroll through Laguna Beach, excitement in Iron Man 3, a gorgeous sunset and delicious mushroom soup at Zinc at Shade! The strawberry salad and French fries had just the right savory and sweetness!"
