Zinc is a Modern American restaurant in downtown New Haven. New Haven isn’t exactly known for it’s culinary cuisine, so this restaurant was a pleasant surprise for me. I was invited to go here – else I probably wouldn’t have known about it.

The interior is elegant and there seemed to be a lot of business types and people in their 30s and 40s in the restaurant.

The food was excellent – I had a hard time deciding from several great dishes. Everyone in the party enjoyed their food, and I have to say the service was definitely better than average. They had a good choice of wines and desserts as well.

Overall, a classy place to have a nice dinner in New Haven. Many companies recruiting on campus have business dinners here, so that’s always a good sign!
