ZINC BISTRO REVIEWS
Love this restaurant! I’ve been dying to try it and we finally went. It’s a perfect French Bistro feel. It’s much bigger inside than you’d expect. Love the back seating area outside but I don’t think they always use it. Especially now that it’s hot best to sit inside near the Eiffel Tower. Service was awesome, I got to taste some wine to pick the bottle (delicious wine from Oregon pictured), appetizers, and ordered the mussels for my entree. They were delicious. The pate and salad were very good too, simple and tasty (understated). No complaints. It’s a fancy restaurant so prepare for about $50 a person. Will be back.
Great experience at this little place. It was a beautiful design with inside and outdoor seating. Between all of us, we tried a variety of dishes (salmon, chicken, gnocchi, steak) it was all very delicious. Steak was cooked properly and melted in your mouth. Salmon, chicken and gnocchi were top notch. All done right and served with great sauce and veggies. Service was amazing and everyone was very friendly. We loved it here and would visit again.
Absolutely loved this French bistro! I got the steak frites (a must) with filet mignon, and the mushrooms- the best mushrooms I’ve ever had! Loved the ambiance, dim candle light, great music, the fun guys behind the bar- with great wine accommodations!

FRANCINE REVIEWS
What a brunch! I had an absolutely amazing brunch in this immaculately decorated tucked away gem. Everything is just gorgeous anout this spot. That and I feel like im back in France sitting in the dinning room spectaculaire! The plate-up was delicate and focused. The servers were genuine and hospitable. I have nothing but praise for what I encountered so far. Great for couples, groups, families, and especially great for friends. Will return and 100% will tell a friend. Thank you Rachel for the great suggestions.
My husband and I had a fantastic evening out enjoying a three course dinner. Each one of our dishes and drinks was exquisite. Our server was so kind, taking the time to explain the options in the menu. The atmosphere was lovely! If you’re in the area, go! The calamari, ratatouille, and pork were chefs kiss.
Food was amazing! We had mushroom pasta and filet mignon. Filet was cooked perfect, great flavor. Dessert cheesecake. One of the best restaurants I've tried in the Phoenix area.

VOILA FRENCH BISTRO REVIEWS
Truly one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. Classy with an elegant menu and amazing chef, you can't go wrong on a night out here. The owners, who are from France, do a great job of making sure everything is authentic and the staff well-trained. My only recommendation: make a reservation. But you can also stop by and order some desserts at their counter, which are as delicious as they are beautiful.
I've hesitated to write a review because it's too good to write anything. Every dish we ordered recalled memories of when we were in Paris a few years ago. The chef's artistry one-hundred percent brings out the exquisite flavors of the ingredients; you can't skip the dessert, it makes a beautiful ending to the dinner, and we will be coming back pretty soon.
THE BEST French food I've had in AZ. Service exceeded our expectations. We started with the escargot (delicious), lamb and the scallop with puff pastry (divine), ended with the chocolate tart and flan with cappuccinos. We were planning our second trip back to try the rest of the menu before our dinner was over. This is a must in AZ and we've been to nearly all the 'best spots. Best of all, price point was very reasonable.
