    I recently had my parents visit me and they said they wanted to check out Lido Village, so I decided to take them to Zinque. We started off with some chilled chardonnay which was honestly so refreshing. I forget the name of the wine, but for the price of $8 on happy hour, it was tasty. My parents weren't very hungry, so I ordered the Rigotoncini Bolognese and Potato Grautin Dauphinois. The Rigotoncini Bolognese and Potato Grautin Dauphinois are the usual items I order everytime I venture to Zinque. The bolognese is always served pipping hot with a generous amount of meat sauce. it fills you up, but you literally can't come here without ordering the potatoes. They are layered and have the best flavor. I truly need the recipe because i've never had potatoes like these. The restaurant sits on the Newport Beach Harbor and has a special charm to it. It has a feeling like your somewhere in Europe on the water as people walk by. It makes a good people watching location. I would give my experience a 7.5/10.

    Such a cute spot with great views by the water. It was pretty packed so recommend making a reservation. Service was a bit slow. The food was really tasty! I ordered the breakfast bowl and it was delicious and healthy. We also ordered mimosas and were able to walk along the boardwalk area which had so many other cute shops nearby. Parking can be a bit challenging but there's a nearby structure where you can get your parking validated and some street parking as well.

    Amazing food and ambience at Zinqué. We sat in an awesome window seat with a view of Newport Bay, drank wine, and had a lovely meal. It was a little loud inside due to the music. We had the whole Branzino with a side of cauliflower. The cauliflower is a MUST TRY if you're going to Zinqué. We're normally huge Brussels Sprouts fans, but in comparison, the cauliflower took the W with the romesco sauce! We were not huge fans of the cookie dessert due to the size and mediocre nature of it (in fact, we were a little disappointed and wished we had gotten something else; they were out of their famous flourless cake that evening). Wine selection was pretty good, although only one Cab to choose from under $100/bottle. We got the Oberon for $76. Espresso was probably the best damn version I've ever tasted (and we're talking countless cups after dinner). Service was pretty good, although they unfortunately got a little slammed and our meal was a bit drawn out (not that we minded sipping wine and hanging out). Our server was friendly and funny, referring to the tap water as, "Newport's finest." LOL! We'll be coming back here again with my parents when they're in town! It also seems like they have a decent Happy Hour, although we didn't get to try it.
