We had dinner here on Saturday night. The girls were very friendly and made us feel welcome. Both our meals were amazing. We ate everything it was so tasty and good. Well done.

Fantastic little stop we accidentally found. Lovely area either inside or out. Very nice food with plenty of options to choose from. We found the staff friendly and very accommodating

A plain simple looking Cafe/bar/restaurant from the outside. Great surprise to find a cosy appealing cafe culture inside. The staff had a genuine interest in looking after everyone, fantastic meals from a menu with a wide range of options. Southern hospitality at it’s absolute best

My partner and I came here for lunch on Sunday. Arrived approx 1:30 so post lunch rush. Or so we thought. 1 hour later we’re still waiting for the food we ordered which required minimal cooking. Raw oysters, chips and a rare steak sandwich. No update on how long the food will be and no warning that the wait could be this long. Extremely disappointing.

good day 6678 Dunedin,

Massive apologies for May 2021. Just saw this review today.

There are no excuses for the time you came in. I thought we had good staff. I can't actually see who was working then, now. WE have after a 12 month recent struggle finally got a great team working at Ziff's.

I'm sure if you're ever here again, you'll find us very different... please let me know directly... 0274336408
