Came here on Valentine's Day last Saturday night. We made a reservation without realizing they…read morewould be serving a Prix Fixe menu at $85 per person. It was quite steep, but since other local restaurants were booked, we decided to keep our reservation. I had been eager to return after several years, remembering previous excellent experiences. Because it was the Valentine's Day menu, it wasn't representative of their usual offerings. I missed the unique dishes they normally feature, but overall, it was still a pleasant evening. I had hoped to try their Arctic Char, but ended up with the salmon from the special menu. We started with an amuse-bouche of deviled eggs, which were fine. The ricotta appetizer was outstanding, with bright hints of lemon zest and balsamic, while the zucchini and carrots were less memorable. The salmon was enjoyable, though not my favorite dish, and I heard the steak was well-prepared. For dessert, the pistachio cake was tasty, though slightly dry, and was served with a pistachio and chocolate gelato. Overall, it was a decent experience, but quite pricey for the quality. I'm giving Zinc a 4-star rating, taking into account my past visits, which were quite good.

I started with the mushroom polenta which was creamy and perfect with a small hint of heat. The…read morestar of the show was the chicken! Perfectly crispy paired with a nice herbaceous sauce which paired perfectly with a glass of wine.

My husband and I ate here before a show at the Shubert Theater down the street - bring your…read moretickets, as the restaurant offers discounts! Overall, a solid choice. The food was excellent. We especially loved the Habanero Mango Shrimp and the Burger on Fire. The restaurant was clean and the staff is quite friendly. The only issue we had were the wait times and pacing. When we arrived, there weren't many people there (it was 4:00pm). We both ordered Woodford Reserve on the rocks and the drinks took 20 minutes to come out. Pouring bourbon into a glass over ice doesn't take any real time, so at most the wait should have been 5-10 minutes. The food also came out at weird times. We ordered the shrimp as an appetizer, and my husband's side salad that came with his steak came out first...which was fine. The shrimp should have come out with that. However, the shrimp and our meals all came out at the same time...so it was like BAM, FOOD! That was a little much. We did enjoy everything and had a nice dinner, but our one suggestion to the restaurant would be to work on timing. It can make or break a restaurant experience.

We got the lobster bisque, grilled hanger steak, truffle Mac-n-cheese, prosciutto crisp, seared…read morescallops, crispy mushroom risotto tater tots, and Brussels sprout salad with rice cake, and fried Sicilian calamari. Lobster bisque was hot though pretty liquid-y. The Brussels sprout salad was by no means a salad. More of a rice cake with Brussels shavings on too but really good. Calamari was okay. Mac and cheese was eh, really liquidy as well. I did really like the crispy mushroom risotto tater tots. They tasted just like tater tots. As we were getting to our last bites and still eating, at least three different staff members within a matter of a minute asked if we're were done and could take our plates away. I would have given this place four stars had we not been bombarded at the end of our dinner. It felt like we were being rushed out even though there were tons of tables and seats still available. Left a bad taste in my mouth.

The view here is absolutely amazing - and it's nice and cool!…read more High atop the Blake Hotel in New Haven is a restaurant that even my local friends didn't know about - because it's only open in summer, and not every night of the week. The website says Fri - Sat; when I was there, it was open Wed. - Sun, but you needed to check to make sure they weren't bought out for private events. The space is GORGEOUS - with sunset views and a wonderful atmosphere. I really enjoyed my rosé and the very delicious Shaved Brussel Salad. Service was terrific too. I'm staying at 4 stars just because I planned initially to go one night that turned out to be closed to the public - and also I wish the menu were a bit bigger. Also, the skillet cookie sounded better than it tasted. BUT - the atmosphere here is amazing and it was one of the places I'd most want to go back to. My friend was thrilled to learn about it and wants to organize an event here in the future for work. So yes, check it out!

The dining room was so loud esp when the bartenders were shaking drinks as if they were starring with Tom Hanks in "cocktail" We had the pea salad which was very fibrous and chewy (a 10 second Blanche wouldn't hurt) and the burger was tasty but served with frozen French fries, and way too much of them. Considering the style of menu, frozen fries don't belong on the menu. The fish was overcooked and dry. Overall, it's an inconsistent experience. Dinner for 3 was $200 with 1 shared app, 2 burgers and the fish course plus 3 drinks.

The bartender was nice and helpful. I started with the smokestack bruschetta. It was delicious. The hickory smoked brisket was tender and flavorful which tasted excellent with the soft poblano grit cakes! There was an explosion of flavor in my mouth. I loved it. The Atlantic salmon was prepared excellently. Not overcooked or undercooked. The miso glaze with bites of salmon and quinoa was the perfect combination. I couldn't get enough of it. I originally wanted the lobster spring rolls instead of the salmon, but unfortunately they'd run out earlier in the day.

Yummy restaurant with a great patio. They have heat lamps outside, but it is so hot in the summer…read morethat we did not want to use them. The patio area is very pretty and set off the street so that you don't have people bugging you while you eat The brussels sprout salad was amazing as people say.

And I enjoyed a mocktail on a hot day. The coconut Mojito tasted like the real thing. Definitely a great little escape the hectic of New Haven!

We went around 7 PM and were seated immediately without reservations, which was a pleasant surprise for a Friday evening. It wasn't quite warm enough for the patio, but the inside still had a cozy atmosphere that worked perfectly for a pre-theater bite. My cousin ordered the crab cake, and I went with the Brussels sprouts and risotto Parmesan tater tots. We were really just looking for a few appetizers before the show, but everything hit the spot. The Brussels sprouts were flavorful and paired with thick savory slices of bacon, while the risotto Parmesan tater tots were crispy, cheesy, and hard to stop eating with the dipping sauce. Service was friendly, food came out quickly, and overall it was a relaxed and enjoyable experience before heading over to Yale Rep. Definitely reminded me why Harvest has been a longtime New Haven favorite.
