Had to visit a nearby clinic and stumbled across this cosy restaurant with a romantic fireplace. Came here again a week later because the food is so delicious. So far my partner and I have tried the duck risotto, mushroom + truffle risotto, fish of the day and white chocolate mousse. I have no doubt the other food on the menu will also taste amazing. Very enticing menu! Food came out slightly slow but definitely worth the wait, the detail and taste is spot on, customer service was lovely on both visits! Thank you so much.

My wife and I used a coupon to enjoy the 6 course degustation menu at Zio's on Friday night. The restaurant is in an interesting old house tucked between larger buildings. It has a very pleasant sophisticated warm interior- there was a log fire burning in the fireplace - I think it was fake but very realistic. We were given a friendly welcome by the serving staff.
There was a choice of house wines included in our coupon - 2 whites and 2 reds. We both chose the shiraz and were not disappointed. It was good quality and Zio's definition of "a glass" was generous.
The first dish was a duck and vegetable consommé. It was rich in flavour with a slight spicy kick to it. The seared scallops should have been warmer but were still tasty. The truffle and mushroom risotto was a little disappointing, lacking in flavour. The barramundi was cooked to my preference - crispy skin and firm textured flesh with tasty sweet potato and lemon & caper sauces. The eye fillet was lightly grilled, tender and tasty, enhanced by the potato & chorizo ragout and shallots. We finished with macadamia honey semifreddo - a delightful dessert to finish the 6 courses.
Overall we enjoyed our dining experience without it being outstanding. If we return we would try the a la carte menu which looked interesting.
zio's very cozy interior and warm ambience in a double story victorian terrace are a few of the restaurant's elements that complemented our dining experience here last night.
we had their six-course degustation for dinner, and the flavouring and presentation of the food were wonderful. i must say i particularly enjoyed the truffle and mushroom risotto and the macadamia honey semifreddo dessert that was paired with almond práline and tuile a lot!
service was quick but i have to mention that one of the waiters asked us a few too many questions regarding our reservation of 6 people, and we felt that he wasn't too happy that a few of our guests arrived less 5 minutes later than us. other than that, great dining experience and their food is highly recommended!
