   The menu is very good without trying too hard to impress. The wine selection is great and the service is very good. Our steaks were perfectly cooked and the entrees simple but tasty. We feel very lucky to have Zsa's as a local restaurant.

   Worst experience, the manager was arrogant and rude. The food is also average!

   I'm sorry to hear that you felt I was rude—that was certainly not my intention. At Zsa’s, we always strive to provide a welcoming and enjoyable experience for all our guests. Saturday nights are incredibly busy for us, and accommodating a late arrival, 45minutes late, arriving with a pram in a fully booked venue, can be quite challenging, hence why we had to ask you to leave the pram at the front door, My priority was ensuring the restaurant ran smoothly while also doing my best to accommodate your booking. I regret if this came across in a way that didn’t feel welcoming. We truly appreciate your feedback and would love the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future.

   Lovely local wine bar with some interesting takes on contemporary European. Got us in and out for a show at the Town Hall but didn’t feel rushed at all.

   incredibly disappointing experience. had been once before with friends and had attentive service and great food, therefore booked for a special occasion with my partner. this time we received bare minimum service—were asked for our water order twice, requested sparkling, and an hour later someone brought us still. many times had empty water glasses, had finished our drinks, and waited twenty minutes between courses. made eye contact with our server in these circumstances and were ignored. timing between courses was inappropriate, and the majority of dishes were meh, though the potato pave was delightful, steak frites also fantastic. duck ragu featured gritty pasta which was falling apart and a watery, greasy sauce with no body and not enough salt. pregnant and consequently requested ceviche substitution which was acknowledged but were still served ceviche. on this note, extensive list of mocktails which was much appreciated, and the two I had were so so so good. the ambience is lovely and we had a great spot overlooking the footpath. very unfortunately tarnished a rare evening we have without children and won't be returning.

   What a little hidden gem. The food was amazing All Staff just delightful Degustation menu was the best (and very very filling) The manager was so lovely and she seatied us a little early too. Don’t hesitate, book this place. Only down fall was our cocktails seemed more like cocktails . Not sure there was any alcohol in them. Will be back !

   Valentine's Day was out first visit to Zsa's. A friend had recommended the restaurant, and we were very happy with the find! The food was delicious and the the venue charming. Service was, I imagine, a little stretched because of the VD crowd, but all in all it was a great evening! We opted for the set menu for keep things bubbling along, but we will return on a quieter day and try the other a la carte choices - which also sounded amazing!

   Lovely wine bar and great menu. Fun sharing food (apart from tomato salad which was not firm) and good wine list. However, service was poor - not clearing plates before bringing more items, bread arriving in the middle of meal, not topping off water. We were brought the bill and told we needed to pay and leave in 10 mins. Organised our cards and sat waiting, before realising we had to pay at counter where our server was chatting? Service is letting down a great venue.
