This place is great. I remember the old Le Zinc very well but prefer the food now so much more. I like the fact that they kept the old walls with all the great posters - it would have been such a shame to have taken them down. And yes, the photos do not make the quality and taste any justice - anyone who has visited one of Kurt Gutenbruners other restaurants should know that they can expect outstanding food (and wine) here. Go there.

It's my fault - my poor digital camera skills in dim areas. I'll move that picture down - I did have problems with it myself.

Maybe it would be a good idea if you guys invested in either a better digital camera or a professional photographer. Some of these images make the food REAL unappetizing and may do more harm than good to these establishments.

And if you are in Brooklyn, there is Cafe Steinhof on 7th Avenue and 14th Street. The bread dumplings are to die for.

I'm sorry, but that dish in the top left picture just looks wrong.

I totally agree with Jen and Bruni on this one. But remind me again what was wrong about Le Zinc? My wife and I loved that place. Our friends from out of town loved it. My two year old loved it! While I can't claim to be an Austrian cuisine hater, it seems a lot harder to find something that sounds good and that actually is good now. And why get rid of the child-friendly policy in the Fertile Crescent of Tribeca? The staff seemed to have never seen a stroller before... That said, I'd still rather go there than a lot of other places. You gotta love those crisp Austrian white wines. And venison goulash on a cold night is hard to top.
