Overview of Zilver

Elegant in its décor, innovative in its food and attentive in its service, Zilver opens after a $3 million makeover from its former identity as Silver Springs restaurant on the corner of Pitt Street and Hay Street, next to Capitol Theatre.

As you approach the restaurant, a linear taupe stone concierge greets you as you walk past a gallery of oriental silverware lining the path to the main dining room. A small sleek bar with low back lounge chairs acts as a waiting area for guests on a crowded night.

Stone-cladded fish tanks display live fresh seafood and a wall, with modern timber lattice screens lining one side of the walls and reflective mirrors lining the other side. Bronze mosaic pillars create textural contrast, accented by imported lotus-shaped crystal chandeliers suspended from the ceiling.

Custom-made upholstered silk chairs in copper tones complement latte tone tablecloths and pure white china, elegant glassware and hand-tooled cutlery specially sourced from China.

    The food was so delicious and plenty enough to go around. Staff were friendly and explained us for many details. Your staff were just brilliant. So friendly yet very professional.

    Good Seafood restaurant! I tried the lobster set dinner for 4 people, it's worth! The lobster was our favourite dish of the day, creamy and tasty!

    Horrid, horrid experience tonight.

    Went with a friend using a voucher for their nine course peking duck offer. The ambience is a typical westernised Chinese restaurant. The service is non-existent, they leave you a list of what is coming out and leave the rest up to for figuring out. Lots of meals appeared to have had been made in advance and left in the fridge then simply brought out. I was mostly appalled and haven't seen this low quality of food in a long time.

    The real kicker, however, was half way through, a man who worked there approached us and told us our voucher had already been used (it hadn't). We asked for him to show us proof of it being used prior and he didn't do anything, he simply walked away. Another person came and was no help as we asked also, our below average experience now dismal and ruined as we were worried.

    We didn't bother with dessert as we asked the front desk to record in front of us the coupon. They didn't do it, they simply showed us some list with our number highlighted which really means nothing. The man said that instead of paying the full price of $188 we'd only be charged $78. Very suspicious as we asked again for them to show us on the computer that it wasn't accepted and they still didn't.

    I ended up forking out the $78 extra. We left annoyed. My friend will be contacting the coupon website also tomorrow. Do not come here, You have been warned. This place overall disappointing!

    My sister had her wedding banquet at Zilver last week. The 11-course seafood banquet was handsdown the best many of the guests had at a wedding banquet, but the staff were only at a "serve food out, take plates in" level, fine for a yum cha or dinner, but appalling for a wedding fucntion.

    The guests listed as vegetarians (either non-seafood or vegetarian) were Not served/approached at all, eventhough we were reassured that they will be addressed individually with their standard dinner menu for them to order their own meals (at extra costs to the hosts-not an issue). Those guests left hungry and by the time it was raised to our attention by 10pm it was highly embarrassing to us as the hosts.

    The champagne that were brought in and instructed for the staff to top up the guests' glasses were not attended up, leaving guests having to request this and during time of toasts guests having to raised empty glasses. Having 3/4 of our champagne undrunk to take home was an absolute disappointment.

    My sister's wedding cake was a 3-tiered cake with the top tier being made of foam and covered in fondant and handmade roses. This was made to be kept as a memento for the bride and groom. Clear, handwritten instuction were left to the staff about this but the kitchen staff ignored this, pulled the roses off the foam-layer and Hacked at the cake for a good while until they realise that the top later was inedible. The bride and groom figurines were distributed to the guests on the platters despite a tissue-filled box was provided to gently lay them in to keep.

    By the time I noticed this the cake was ruined and I was in tears. The senior staff had no explanation for this except that him and his staff did not understand english (in which he was fluent in the entire time we have been dealing with him).

    They rerouted the floor plan (to allow extra outside diners to dine at the restaurant) so that the route between the banquet hall and the bride's changeroom was passing the kitchen, through a narrow 20m laneway that was greasy, wet and dirty. I had to request to be changed immediately for her dress not to be ruined. When we got to the bride's room we realized that it was a small, pokey storeroom with old tables and chairs covered in table clothes, no mirror and no where to hang up the wedding gowns.

    All in all. Save yourself the heartache and Tears: Do Not have a wedding banquet at Zilver.

    My husband told me that the restaurant has won the Best Yam Cha in "2012 I love Food Awards", and we were attracted to try the Yam Cha today. It's a good experience in one of the best Chinese restaurants in CBD. We tried the Dim Sum, crispy prawn pie and BBQ pork buns, they are awesome. And we finally ordered the mango pancakes as takeaway because we were too full.

    Overall, I think it is one of the best I've had in Sydney in terms of price, quality, quantity and atmosphere. Went with a few friends. We picked out a lot, and I mean a lot. 5 of us, paid around $30 each. Not too bad! Only recommendation I have is to try and get a place near the isle. I guess thats for all yum cha really isnt it! enjoy.

    I went for a late lunch yesterday with my family, using two vouchers for the Peking Duck Banquet. This was definitely not worth $138! Poor service and terrible food!
    We were seated and no waiter came to ask us what tea we wanted. We had to ask for it and the waitress dumped most of the food onto our table until it was completely full. The cucumber and the shallots were so dry that it looked as if it was prepared a day before and the pancake were too floury. The waitress serving us the Peking duck skin dropped a piece on the table and just put it back on the plate for us to eat. The duck cuts were very salty too.

    Later on, I asked for service the waitress ignored me as she rushed to leave her afternoon shift. Finally, I asked for the desserts and fruit platter however they only served us the desserts. Without realising the fruit platter was not served to us. The waiter gave it to us at the end without any cutlery expecting us to eat this with our bare hands! Never going back there again.

    My wife and I attended Zilver a couple of weeks ago, we used a Scoopon voucher for a eight course Peking Duck feast, it was fantastic. The service was speedy and efficient, the food was hot and tasty and the value was enormous. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone, as a matter of fact we are planning a return visit soon.

    This Chinese Restaurant is the best restaurant in town. The value of the meal is pretty good. We only spend less than $200 for 4 people and we still can take away some home for the next day. The seafood is very fresh, as we order they take them out of the water tank. They also allow us to take a photo with our lobster. The service is fantastic.
