    Went here for a galentines dinner with my friend and we were both blown away with how yummy the food was! Absolutely obsessed with the king fish sashimi and crispy duck wontons. We got the feed me menu which was very reasonably priced and the mains were a good size. Cocktails were superb. Overall such a great experience, the staff were super friendly and accommodating, the food came out quickly and my taste buds will never be the same. Highly recommend.

    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!

    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.
