One of the best beef fillet i've ever had. The place is small, with few tables on the corner of a building. We waited quite a lot for our meal but they offered us a very good squid. Staff very gentle. A really delicious meal.

great food done simply. elephant fish, from the shark family was meaty and perfectly partnered with some velvety mash and crunchy smoky charred broccolini. Cloudy bay clams were sublime and service was fun and efficient.

We were looking for a place to have an easy stress free European dinner after a long day. The dishes were fantastic, Eye fillet was perfectly cooked with a fantastic gratin and beautiful pesto. Side potatoes were more on a rusty side with roasted to a point of fluffiness inside and crunchy skin on the outside. I also tried my friend's special of the day veal in the bone which was extremely tender and melt in the mouth.The reason I gave 4 stars us that the restaurant was too busy and they really need to have at least 1 more staff. I ordered cranberry juice but got something else, possibly grapefruit as it was pink but citrusy... We were told that someone would tell us the specials, but no-one came to do so and we had to remind the waitress to do so when she was taking the order. We arrived at the restaurant at 8.30 pretty hungry and only got the food at 9.55, which was a very long wait especially for a late sitting. I understand of course that they were super busy, but I believe the management needs to make sure that there is enough stuff available for those nights.

One of our faves in Welly. We took our friends son out for a special treat it was a great night. Staff really care about food, they’re so friendly and knowledgeable. Had bluff oysters with the house hot sauce, an amazing tartare beef, and the negroni is always spot on.

Always a nice dinner with great service. We tried the WOAP cocktail, festival dish and burger. We also shared the calamari which was the best thing we had. Their calamari is so light and soft with wonderful flavor. I don't known what magic they are weaving with their calamari, but it's definitely worth going there to have it. The festival dish was not amazing and has a very strong fishy seafood flavor. The burger was nice, but nothing special.

Food is always good there. Impeccable service and tasty menu and always evolving. It's a regular place for us and it has always been consistent for service, food and drinks. Great boutique restaurant for special occasions or if your just looking for simple tasty boutique food. The beef fillet is my favourite paired with the spinach sautées side, and the toffee pudding is to die for with a glass of sherry.

Can almost always guarantee a great dining experience here, so was not disappointed. The clam starter was full of flavour. I’m a big fan of the pumpkin gnocchi and all it’s buttery goodness, and the WOAP venison and oyster pie was a big hit! That and great service made for a great night out.
