These questions always produce a few camps. I’m most interested in the Olea/Zinc camp.

I’m a Tavern on State person, and I don’t enjoy Olea or Zinc. They’re posing as nice places but all the dishes I’ve had are unimpressive. I think they cater to people who care more about the ambiance than the food.

True. zinc did get new owners and a new chef. Could be better. They’re running some old dishes but it mostly caters to an older downtown clientele

Olea is too fussy - all those foams and reductions and tiny portions. Meh.

To each their own. My partner and I did their tasting menu a year or so ago and I'm STILL talking about the manchego foam. Granted, I really love manchego and it was paired with a broth that was to die for.
