Review of ZimZala

Booked early in the week for a nice saturday night...

Booked early in the week for a nice saturday night to celebrate a valentines dinner with my wife and to have a seat against the window. We arrived and was seated against the wall and the staff member stated we had to be out by 8am ???? only a hour & a half to finish dinner. ( not empressed as this was not mentioned at the booking ) and placed on a wall seat. The night didnt start well !. We ordered a beer & a cocktail first .Then ordered the angel hair pasta & rack of lamb & a side of chips with rosemary, sea salt & truffle oil.
You would exspect a rack of lamb as stated. you get is 1 bit of lamb on the bone a 1 portion of lamb underneath. ( not what is stated as a rack of lamb on the menu ).
The angel hair pasta with fresh seafood was very over cooked. the pasta tasted burnt & seafood very chewy.
the chips came out cold & with a aioli sauce with a glimpse of rosemary ( not what was stated on the menu). Overall all exsperience . I would not recommend this restuarant for a nice dinner. I pass this restuarant nearly every day as i go for a surf. I was embaressed to take my wife hear because of the food and going to the effort of organising a great window seat and the staff just blew it off. I had stated when i paid the bill that it was the worst meal i have had & would not come back. Dissapointing when you are a local of the area.
