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.

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.

Excellent choice. We shared lots of smaller plates to get a taste of more things. Nothing disappointed. The person who attended to us was brilliant and lovely!
