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.

    Worst dining experience ever! I will never go back this place again, not only because of its bad service every body has already mentioned, but its poor food quality. The food was just above average and is not cook as they say it on the menu. Definitely overpriced.

    I went there on a weekday with another 6 friends. When we sat down, the 7 of us were only given 1 menu. We asked for another one but was told by a guy in black "we don't give that many menu per table"! 7 people with only 1 menu. As a result, it took us almost half an hour for every of us to get look at the menu.

    When we took the order, it turned out that they cannot offer 5/7 dishes we tend to order! Including crab, braised pork, abalone and some fish. It sounded so reasonable to people work there that they are nor able to offer what they have on their menu!

    So we only order some eggplant, duck, beef and shrimp. However, even those dishes are not cooked as their description. The duck was fried while supposed to be braised according to menu. The eggplant tasted worse than all restaurant we ever visited.

    I will never suggest my friends to go and I will absolutely not coming back.

    Food was great, we got the curry crab, wagyu beef and deep fried fish all were absolutely delicious. The service was shockingly bad though, we had to ask numerous times before our dirty plates were cleared away. Loved the food but hesitant to return due to the poor service. Yum Cha is also pretty good!

    [return visit Jan 2012] - This visit proves yet again how Bad the service here. No matter how good the food in taste is, I'm Never coming back. Shocking rude service (Yes I know this is a Chinese restaurant but the service of the waiters were Terrible), ambience was lacking (Loud Karaoke could be heard by everyone even though those people were in a room as the door weren't shut), No one bothered to clear our table which was full of used plates, Value for money - No way. Cost $70/head and just the whole dinner experience made me so angry.
    Do not recommend.

    Its probably one of the busiest Yum Cha place in the city, however, I would say that the food is quite average. The bbq pork buns are always just a bit undercooked and the dough hasn't quite risen when its served. The custard tarts are also always uncooked. Hasn't rocked my world or anything, however, I haven't stopped coming here because its conveniently located and it seems to be the first choice of my co-workers.

    Those china red lanterns are just amazing! they remind me of a chinese movie named under lanterns too. They really know how to attract customers attentions. I am really excited about my experience at this restaurant now.

    New look as I'm a regular customer there. I was informed by their staff that they had secretively reinnovated their restaurant. How great!

    I went there on a weekday with a couple of friends, one of them from the South of China, she ordered for everyone, I just trusted her as it was my second yum cha ever.

    We got there at 11 and by midday the place was full. The food was just amazing, and cheap! Bill came to $15 each for the 3 of us. We had few different dishes (probably 6-7), from buns to chicken feet, which I was a bit scared to try but were just delicious!, and also ordered a special. Trolleys kept coming around, I didn't feel the lack of service and lack of variety that I can read through the previous comments.

    Service is Chinese restaurant style, no fuss, and the place itself is just big and kind of anonymous. Really good value for money, I'll definitely be back for a easy meal with friends!

    I have no complaints about the taste of the food, however the variety is a bit lacking and no matter where we sit in the massive restaurant, the trolleys seem to evade us. Also, it gets pretty loud and the amount of people they try to squeeze in means that it is pretty unavoidable that you hear the conversations from the tables around you.

    Went there for Yum cha, all the dishes taste quite good, but the choice is very limited, you have to order pretty much everything like steamed veggi, congee. And we were in a middle table so can't reach the trolly we have to keep waving to the trolley to come over. The bill came to $25 per head for 3 dishes per person and no drink which I consider quite expensive.

    From the minute I walked in, the waitresses just ignored us and we just waited at the front to be seated. Mind you the restaurant is empty. We were guided halfway to our seat when the waitress just left us to serve a waving customer. We just decided to find anywhere to sit. We ask to get some tea and the waitress just told us to ask someone else. Service is extremely disappointing. I walked up to the front counter to get some service but 2 waitresses just ignored me and keep chatting. And finally as I kept trying to get their attention, they attend to me but they were just plain rude. At this point of time if I was dining alone I would've left already. The food was mediocre in taste and one of the seafood taro ball has gone bad (sour in taste). I am never returning to Zilver.
