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!

Zsa's has a warm relaxed atmosphere for a short wine and cheese catch up with friends. I went for lunch and found the menu a bit confusing as to what to choose for vegetarian lunch options. Sorry to the wait staff we stayed too long chatting and were subtly asked to wrap it up and pay the bill a few times. Not sure that I would choose the venue for a long lunch catch up again.

Hi Danielle, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that we didn’t meet your expectations during your recent visit. As we are in peak season, particularly on a Saturday in December, our tables are typically fully booked. With advance notice of your preference to extend your stay beyond the allocated two hours (we allowed 2.5 hours for your sitting), we could have avoided booking another party immediately after your reservation. As your group had completed food and drink orders and were enjoying water service, we made the decision to request the table back to accommodate our next guests, who were scheduled to arrive. We truly value your understanding and hope to welcome you back soon under better circumstances. Kind regards, Zowie

We love Zsa’s. Last night’s menu -although a little confusing - included some gems especially the blue cheese oysters and marlin. Sweets, as always, we’re delicious.
