Lovely environment! I got the pulled lamb, it is definitely a much smaller meal. Doesn’t come with any sides which is fine, it just wasn’t a huge amount of food (I’m still kinda hungry) My partner got the beef cheeks and I was majorly jealous as his was a huge portion and absolutely delicious hahah. Dessert was fantastic, 10/10. I got Devines Plum Cheesecake and I wish I had another right now. I forgot to take a pic of the food but I wish I had of the beef cheek cos it was so good hehe. Also my lemon lime & bitter was fantastic. Actually hard to find a decent one.

Too pricey for average food. When we booked on restaurant hub the menu looked reasonable. But the menu on the night had been changed and really gouged the prices up to $36 per main. The cheaper wine was not on tap and the alternative was one nearly twice the price. The lamb was also off menu.Too high a price for us who are two income earners, and I suspect other NZ families. We won’t be returning.

Dined In. Service was great and food was delicious. We also had a few cocktails and they were all excellent. Would happily come back. We had the garlic bread and Korean chicken to start which were so good!

The food was outstanding! Wonderful flavours selected from the best cuisines you don’t get to eat all that often. The only thing that overshadowed the amazing food was the amazing service from the friendly and professional staff. We were travelling and have eaten all across the country and this is in our top 10 we will definitely be back!

What a Gem! Beautiful setting for a Friday arvo drink. We were not planning to stay for more than 1 drink and going to head up the road. Shared the Korean chicken as a snack, had to have an icy cold beer! Seriously lovely food, falafel also devine. We couldn't tear ourselves away. Espresso Martini was the best ever! I love the thought, love and care that Belinda, very friendly owner, has dreamt up and delivered! Well done. We will be back for more next time we are down this way. It a great place.

First, let me start off with the food was actually quite good, if not trying a little too hard, but the quality of the food was there.But that is pretty much where the positive experience ended. The hostess was quite rude and brushed us off. The table we were sat at was so close to the door that every time it opened, we were blasted with cold or the loud of the slamming door. Constantly, people were walking by to hang up or take coats. To say it was a relaxing experience would be very far from the truth. This area is much better suited as waiting space or a bar area while waiting to be seated at a table.The server lacked maturity and experience in dealing with customers. He treated us like we were an annoyance he had to deal with but would have much rather ignore. When asked about dishes his answers were blaise at best. This isn't New York or London, we're not some randoms off the street. Mum and pop shops live or die based off the local customer base, and alienating them is not the way to survive.As I said at the beginning, good food, but the staff very nearly ruined the whole experience. Do better.
