Wonderful Dr of Optometry! I've been here two times. Once for myself and once for my dad. Me: I walked in for a general eye exam. it wasn't busy and he was able to take me with no wait time. Dr. Hui was calm and through. he explained everything he was doing and even answered my silly eye questions. SUPERRR NICE Dr. i had a wonderful experience. i was in and out no in time. Daddy: Since i had such a wonderful experience i brought my daddy in to see Dr. Hui. He was having some trouble seeing from his newest pair of glasses he got from another location. let me say this Dr is PATIENT! Daddy is too nice to say he can't see until he actually needs to see. Hard problem to have when you need glasses! Dr Hui made sure my dad wasn't leaving the office with another pair of "okay" glasses. After a thorough troubleshoot and recheck of daddy's old glasses, my dad now has glasses he can see crystal clear! patient, kind, and knowledgeable! plus quick thorough treatment. thumbs up!!

Service isn't to my liking, although the food is great.

Love the location and the amenities but the shit doesn't work. The pool is outdated and needs to be cleaned better. The hot tubs don't work properly and they need to be cleaned more frequently. We moved in 2 weeks ago and still waiting for stuff to be replaced that was broke when we moved in. Our fridge leaks drips all over our food and ruins it, dishwasher needs to be replaced, washer has a funky smell, and microwave needs to be replaced. Oh and I almost forgot.... Our water heater was considered a safety issue and the gas company wouldn't turn on our hot water heater because of it. And we told management and the maintenance men didn't fix it up to code, they did a half ass job! Thank you Pinnacle Terrace for providing me and my family a safe home!!!!

I really loved my server Ashley and the lit Eiffel Tower in the center of the restaurant. Now for the bad part. We ordered the spinach/frisee salad, duck confit with white bean cassoulet and steak with "frites" Two drinks were ordered: a bloody mary and a french martini recommended by Ashley. Both drinks were well prepared and strong. The spinach/frisee salad was fresh with bacon dressing, a poached egg and lardons. It was fresh but nothing to write home about. The duck leg confit was ABYSMAL. While my husband was eating I saw his unenthused expression, so decided to take a taste of it. THE DUCK LEG HE WAS SERVED HAD TO HAVE BEEN SITTING AROUND THEIR REFRIGATOR FOR A WHILE PRIOR TO BEING SERVED. I cannot believe that Zinc Bistro would serve such an unappetizing, unflavorful , dry "meat". When we got home, I asked my husband why he didn't tell the waitress how bad his food was and his answer was that he didn't want to spoil my birthday dinner. I would have been kicking and screaming before I would eat anything so vile. My steak and frites were NOTHING LIKE I AM USED TO IN PARIS!!! The steak was cooked medium rare, au poivre but the meat had no flavor whatsoever. It also had an excessive amount of peppercorns. A person who sat across from us returned his steak because of this. I have eaten steak au poivre many times both in the US and abroad. This is definitely an excessive use of peppercorns. None of the restaurants I have experienced do it this way. Doesn't mean that Zinc Bistro can't be unique. But, it must be unique and edible. The frites were a total disappointment. They could NOT HAVE BEEN FROM FRESH POTATOES---NO WAY, NO HOW . No WAY, NO HOW... HOW MANY TIMES CAN I SAY THIS? In Parisian bistros the frites or fries are to die for---simply sprinkled with salt and they are amazing. Zinc Bistro's fries had this or that sprinkled on them but this did not improve the lack of flavor from the potato. OMG, what can I say about a restaurant that charges more than a Parisian bistro but none of its flavor. One saving grace was that they gave me a complementary mini-chocolate souflee as I was celebrating my birthday. Zinc Bistro management.... check that duck confit dish.... go into the kitchen right now and taste it. Get ready to spit it out. I am feeling super-uber guilty that my husband ate that vile dish and kept quiet about it so he wouldn't spoil my birthday dinner. Zinc Bistro, how long can this quality of food continue before Scottsdale patrons realize that they are not eating anything like what is served in a Parisian Bistro. I have to give Zinc Bistro one star--earned by Ashley and the complementary chocolate souffle.
