We went for brunch here in the weekend and were very disappointed. 3 of us ordered poached eggs and they were all hard boiled and over cooked along with the toast. It really shouldn't be too hard for a place that serves breakfast to get eggs right, especially when you are paying Potts Point prices! The service was poor also. Overall disappointing.

Zinc is a great location with very nice food. I have dined here frequently since I lived in Rockwall, the building above Zinc.

Recently I dined at Zinc and looked at my bill after the fact and noticed their prices added GST, in other words a glass of wine on the menu for $10.50 rings up as $11.55. Is this a new game around town? Another trick I've seen recently (not at Zinc) is to throw an extra dessert or entree onto the bill in the hope you don't notice. Leaves a bad taste in your mouth, eh?

We come here most weekends for brunch and usually have the excellent Smoked Salmon/Poached Eggs/Spinnach/Toast/Hollandaise Sauce combo (aka Eggs Royale). Followed by yummy fruit toast with the best tea in the neighbourhood (don't drink coffee).

The service can be a bit patchy when it's really busy but the location is great for people watching in the sun (even the Paparazzi turn up sometimes) and the food is really excellent and freshly produced. The evening dinner is great and the set menu is fantastic value with three courses for $30.

This place is boring with rude staff. They ignore you when you arrive, last time I arrived we were asked "have you told paul your here?" who is paul? which waiter is that, there is no ambience and you get your coffee in little glass cups, goes cold in 2 seconds. So many other cool places to go in this area where the staff are friendly.

This place seems to have the it factor. A veritable golden egg here. Corner of Rockwall and Macleay Sts, this trendy cafe restaurant is serviced by arrogant men in black - but way less cool than Will Smith and Co. If you go beyond the serving staff, Zinc dishes up a good fress. The barista takes pride in their coffee making and the breakfast menu is fairly extensive. My poached eggs were perfectly cooked and the smoked salmon was certainly premium cut. Choice of seating indoor or outside, it's a place to see and be 'scene'. Great selection of mags arrayed on the floor to read while you're waiting for your order to go or waiting at a table for the MIBs to arrogantly dismiss you.

A good vibe for an ok midweek breakfast with Nos jnr who enjoyed her sausage and eggs. My poached eggs, however, were slightly overcooked. Nevertheless, the coffees were good and the service fine. A pleasant morning spent here on an overcast summers day.

I constantly dine at restaurants around town which masterchef and the good living magazine recommend. My friends tell me that I'm such a "foodie" and I have to admit I have an extensive knowledge of food which I gained from reading Bill Grangers fab cookbook collection. I recently went to Zinc in Potts Point for a late saturday brunch which some girlfriends and I was shocked when I realised Zinc hasn't been on masterchef yet. OMG?

Can I just say that the meal was sensational. My girlfriends and I loved every moment of it. Coffee is fantastic and Food is just as good, and the service was impeccable. Later that week I went for dinner at zinc. Apart from the food and wine being absolutely fantastic the young blonde man who was my waiter was literaly the best waiter in the world! I have been back at least 3 times a week. Great value! Highly Recommended.

Consistently rude staff. I am a local but it's now officially off my list of cafes after one encounter too many with their unpleasant waiters.

Recently moved into the area, and we stumbled across Zinc last Wednesday and decided to take the plunge on the set menu for $30. Three courses and a bottle of wine with my lovely girl, and we'd notched up a bill of $100.

Service I couldn't fault to be honest. Courteous, prompt and friendly. Food was very tasty: the first course (quiche) was a nice starter (although a touch small), main - coq au vin was even better, and a decent size, the dessert (orange/lemon jelly with fresh oranges) was also nice.

Had ourselves a nice table right by the window, and all up it made for a really good night out all up. Will definitely go back.
