We went here for an eight course dinner. The story they created around the dishes was so interesting and personalised the experience. It’s fine dining with a friendly vibe as the staff sit down next to you and explain the dishes. The food was very well thought out and left us not being able to pick just one favourite dish.

Simply the best restaurant I have been to, food was beautiful both in taste and visually. The story made it a much fuller experience, with even the music chosen to supplement this. Waiters were also fabulous. Booked to return the same evening, just a shame we have to wait until April, can’t wait for the next tale and food journey!

The best food experience I had in Wellington. The menu is delightfully crafted with meaning and purpose. Visually it's art and not only that, each dish tells a story. We get to plunge into the richness of the Māori culture and folklore, and eat what grows around our unique New Zealand bush. Monique Fiso thank you.Beautiful service with knowledgeable, personal and caring staff.

I booked 2 months in advance to celebrate my partner’s birthday dinner. The beautiful intimate setting with good lighting, very good service and absolutely delicious Maori cuisine was an amazing experience. The wine paring was very good with some interesting wines complementing the seasonal local/indigenous ingredients. My partner is vegetarian and he loved every dish. A very special place that we are very lucky to have.

Booked this restaurant weeks in advance to try Maori cuisine and it did not disappoint. Every dish was well crafted and beautifully presented. The potato and Milo dessert was exceptional and service was great. Give this a go if you have the opportunity!

Wonderful culinary experience! Every dish is subtily prepared with a complex mix of tastes, textures and colours. You can pair with wine according to to each dish or go with your own pick. Perfect service with explainations on Maori traditional use of ingredients. We were delighted from delicate entry to surprising dessert. We would have loved to meet the chef...

An amazing night with stunning food all dedicated to showcasing what makes NZ special.The service here is on par with the dishes. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable about the stories and ingredients being used. This absolutely a dining experience rather than just restaurant. Highly recommend.
