A thoroughly enjoyable, fine dining experience. Excellent food, intelligently prepared and presented by Chef Kyle. The service was as faultless as the meal. It was my first visit to Zippo's but it won't be my last

We went to Zippos to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. We have been here many times and love the attentive, friendly service and the beautiful art deco decor. Views over the bay helped too. The lamb and scallops were sensational and we were made to feel very special when presented with a lovely cherry desert, not something that we would typically order but my goodness I would certainly order it again. Meat lovers be warned, chef only cooks the beef fillet medium rare or 'cooked through' as chef is 'fussy! If you want it just 'medium' and a little less bloody you will have to order something else. Which I did. All up a lovely evening and we look forward to going again, this time with all the people from work.

You cannot go past the wonderful service, the waitresses and Emmy, until the food comes. It is fantastic! Our table had beef, perfectly cooked with wonderfully flavoured purees, mushrooms with foie grais then the special of the day, a bar cod with fennel and kingsfish sides, just magic.
The ambience is great, feeling initmate but not stuffy. The staff are so friendly, knowledgeable and funny, topped off by the wonderful food. Have been 3 times before with same results. Zippos becomes a staple in our best restaurants for a great night out.

If you live in locally you can't go past this restaurant. The food and service and price is excellent. Thanks to Kyle the chief and Emmy and all the staff for making my husbands birthday so special especially the dessert where Kyle prepared the most spectacular dessert at our table. There is no need to travel into Sydney CBD to look for fine dining, it's finally here.

My husband and I are regulars at Zippo's. The menu is fabulous with a great choice on offer, chef Kyle really knows how to present his dishes in an outstanding fashion. The new wine list is very pleasing. The decor is beautiful yet relaxed and comfortable not to mention spacious.
Now for the service, above and beyond expectation. From the warm welcome by Nick and Emmy to the superb service by all staff. Fine dining never gets better. Whether it is a special occasion dinner or a relaxed Sunday lunch overlooking the water, this is the place to go. Well done Zippo's!

We went to Zippo's after hearing from friends that it was a nice place to go for a meal and we were happy to discover that all the glowing reviews are right on the money!
With a great selection of yum entree's it was hard for us to decide what to have. I had the devil soft shell crab and prawns which was crisp and tasty without being too oily or salty. My husband has the Oxtail soup which sounded a bit bland to me but was so delicious with its subtle broth and homemade tortellini.
Our mains of linguini with seafood and eye fillet were sensational and faultless as well as our dessert of cherry ripe bombe. The staff are friendly, entertaining, well trained and easy to talk to. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable and not sterile and bustling like some restaurants. We had a wonderful night and will surely be back for several more visits.

This is definitely not MacDonald's. The management are genuinely interested in your dining experience and meld their cultural and professional assets to ensure a unique encounter.
Zero parking problems is enhanced by a view of the relaxing bayside waters. The food provides its own pleasures. Though everyone enjoys different tastes, the Devil Soft Crab, Prawns and calamari were tender with a full flavour. I appreciated the ease with which Kyle, the Chef, substituted Sea Urchin for Scallops in the Tartar of Kingfish. The flavours were subtle and the presentation excellent. They continued to honour our precious seafood when preparing the Bass Groper tenderly enhanced with radish and watercress.
The Prawn Risotto may cause some to falter with its full flavour, but with a discerning palate you can find a depth to the tastes steeped from the prawns and a lobster bisque. The finale was graciously served with good timing following the orchestration of flavours. It consisted of a Watermelon Consume over a Watermelon granite with blood orange sorbet. This restaurant has a relaxed sophistication and provides fine dining with integrity.

Zippos is definitely one of the best restaurant I have been to. Food is delicious, I love devil prawns and suggest the snapper with asian greens. Seafood in general is amazing. Not a big fan of oysters but I ate an half dozen here! They have a good dessert menu as well, could not decide and had the chocolate cake, was to die for, but looking forward to trying something else.
Ambience is simple and sophisticated at the same time, good lighting, not too noisy, in line with the tone of the place. Service is just brilliant, staff is attentive without being overwhelming, and they give suggestions without being pushy.
Can't wait to have dinner there again.

We have been visiting the bistro upstairs since it opened and it consistently serves the most delicious meals and great service. The bar staff and kitchen staff are professional and courteous and the atmosphere is always friendly. We love the choice of indoor and outdoor seating and dining areas which are comfortable and well maintained. With great views and reasonable prices, Club Blakehurst is one of the best little clubs around.

I'm glad to say that Zippo's restaurant has re-opened now, following the fire that has seen it closed for some time. The food here is really great, I'm especially fond of the pork belly, its really something else. The quality and freshness of the food is outstanding, and the menu is contemporary, fresh, and imaginative. I was there just before the grand reopening last Wednesday, and was pleasantly surprised with the new decore, which is top notch, and the view which is as good as ever. A great place with great food and great atmosphere!
