    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!

    A very special night highlighted by a fantastic tasting menu of the highest quality. the service was impeccable - reliable & informative. the wines selected from the drinks menu were as described to us by the drinks person. the view from our table to the river outside added to the occasion. You pay for what you get - which is sensational food from Tasmania & Bass Strait.

    Amazing and attentive service at Danté. My party and I loved the atmosphere there and felt welcome from the moment we walked in until we left. The table service was impeccable and our waiter and bartender were extremely friendly the entire time (forgive me I forgot their names but they know who they were) Highly recommend this place for others. Super worth the price and the dishes were phenomenal. Drinks are on another level. Will be back for sure!

    The food was delicious. The portions a little small thou only issue. Not sure if there was an option for bread on the menu would have been nice to go with the lovely curry sauce from the main meal. Other wise lovely meal and service was wonderful also.
