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!

Six of us dined, as 5 adults and 1 child. Most ordered something different. But it was steak night so a couple had the special. That included salad, chips and a drink. Everyone loved their food. I had the pumpkin ravioli (for the 3rd time). Amazing! Some of us stayed and had dessert. The sticky date pudding with ice cream was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant whether it’s a date night or a group gathering.
