   Host was terrible. Asked for a certain table, she told us they were fully booked, yet the entire 1.5 hours we were there, only 4 tables (outside seating) were used. She had such a rude tone. Everything else was AWESOME. Get a new host for Sunday's Cafe Zinc.

   We've been to Cafe Zinc before and had a better experience than yesterday. I don't know if it was because it was Father's Day or what but both the service and food was not the quality of what we have experienced in the past. The cinnamon roll was dry, we felt as though we were being rushed a lot by the server and then she disappeared. It was okay, but not great.

    The food was perfect. The duck confit salad is a unique and satisfying option. I wanted to take dessert home but we were headed to a show and didn't want the lemon item to sit in a hot car. Next time I am saving space for one of the delicious-looking sweets.

    This was an uncharacteristic experience at cafe zinc for us. They were very busy so it was understandable that we waited a bit past our reservation to be seated. What wasn’t understandable was that the hostess was overwhelmed and became visible and verbally frustrated with my family waiting in the vestibule. Additionally; the food was timely but lacked the consistency of preparedness and presentation that we’re accustomed to at cafe zinc. Aside from that; it remains our favorite high end restaurant in Midland and we will be back.

    Everything was absolutely delicious, but I was disappointed they put us at the counter (especially after making a reservation) and it was a little difficult for the three of us to talk easily.

    We went for lunch with a reservation and were promptly seated and waited on. Very nice server. I had the chopped salad which was super fresh and perfectly sized portion. My companion had the fish tacos and said they were really good. There were three tacos plus a salad again great serving size for lunch. Highly recommend

    At 11:20am on a Sunday, we walked into Zinc and were met by a rude hostess who would not offer us a table unless we had a reservation. The inside dining room was 10% full. So I went back outside and reserved a table on the OpenTable app and walked back in. She didn't even recognize me (from <5 mins ago) because she never looked up to make eye contact, only looking down at the tablet. She was only willing to try to accommodate those people with reservations (and she did not offer any advice as to how to *make one* or that there were spaces available). The app allowed me a table for 2 outside and that is exactly what we did!! We walked back in at 11:20am for a reservation at 11:30a and were seated early. The food was great and the rest of the staff was really nice and accommodative. They were forced to compensate for their colleague, which is a pity. The wait time for food from the kitchen was extended beyond what is normal, but the quality of the food and the experience was great after the initial issue.

    My friend and I had a reservation for 2. The hostess was rude and seemed annoyed we were there. She sat us and no one came back for 23 minutes, yes I timed it, because I was shocked. Someone finally came over and said she would send a waitress over, never happened. Another waitress walked by and we grabbed her attention. She said she didn’t know who our waitress was but would take drink orders and our breakfast order if we were ready and would find out who should be taking care of us. That waitress was very nice and we were thankful for her help, however she did not come back until our food arrived. We had to ask the women refilling our coffees to find a waitress so we could order another drink. We have always had a good experience before this, so we were quite disappointed. The food was very good and the waitress that did step in to help was good. I’m not sure where the communication broke down but we will definitely try another place next time.

    The hostess is an older woman with long hair. She comes off as rude in every encounter I’ve had with her. I’ve considered not dining at cafe Zn now because of her. The server we had was nice. The food is always delicious! The best desserts in midland dare I say!

    We were there for a business lunch and it was very loud in there making it difficult to hear each other. The server was slow to get to us to take our order. When the food finally came, one of the orders was wrong, so she took it back to the kitchen for them to redo it, and she forgot to bring it out right away. By the time the meal came back to the table, the rest of us were almost finished with our lunch.

    The food was very good and came to the table nice and hot. However, my steak was a little overdone as was the chicken my wife had. The french onion soup was excellent! The dining room was quite small and the tables pretty close together. Our server, David, was outstanding. All things considered it was a positive experience.

    Our food was well prepared and delicious. The menu included a variety of options and the items stated whether they were gluten free, dairy free, or vegan. There are so many delicious desserts to choose from. They have their own pastry kitchen and make everything on site. We had the fresh fruit tart and the tiramisu. We will definitely come back again.

    The hostess needs improvement, the food service was fantastic. We love the food there, however them messing up our booking four times is hard to overlook along with the hostess attitudes and blame on their managers for not doing the right thing versus apologizing for their poor customer service and lack of providing options to make things right for their customer. We might consider other dining options after dealing with the bad experience.

    I had to wait approximately 20 minutes after my reservation to be given the option to wait another 15 minutes for my table or take a seat at the bar. I opted to sit at the bar. Server was kind and enjoyed talking to her. Overall service was subpar which can’t necessarily be attributed to her directly. Server realized that bread was never provided to me which is customary and brought some out. Sadly that took another 15-20 minutes to discover after ordering. Food took an exceptionally long time to come out and my duck was cold, as was the squash, when it reached the table. I’ve dined at Cafe Zinc many times over the year and this experience was sadly subpar to put it mildly. Staff seemed to be disorganized and not on the same page. Food didn’t have that top notch flare that Zinc was previously known for. This will be my last visit for a good long while.
