Great atmosphere in this place, the staff are friendly. The food is constantly good here as are the cocktails.This Wellington or Auckland CBD type venue, very nice fit out and bar. Well worth a visit.if you are in party mood, later at night it is also a night club, so , you might be there a while.

The staff the food and the cocktails here are just amazing. Staff are so friendly and so quick to help and always on hand when you need them. The cocktails are just out of this world. Actual mixology with some molecular gastronomy... It's ART but you drink it. Just blew out minds. Definitely a must do if you want a real cocktail expert experience. Thanks so much everyone

The staff here need a basic lesson in customer service. The food was mediocre at best, but the lack of service was the most disconcerting part of the experience. In hospitality, a customer-centric focus makes up for so much… in this instance the lack of service not only reduced our spend, but ended our evening early, leaving a bitter taste. I’d say Worst service in Whanganui, but there really was no level of service beyond rudimentary greeting and first order taking. Ill trained staff can break a business and crush diner spend. And the apathy of the service staff we experienced does not bode well for repeat business. I certainly would not go back.

The overall experience was sadly quite disappointing. Although the cocktails were amazing and atmosphere was great, here’s a summary of the rest:Service: a bit appalling. We were sat at the back and after waiting a while, I had to walk to the bar to order because there was no chance any staff were going to come by to take our orders within any reasonable timeframe. The food took 45 minutes to arrive and we nearly gave up on our drinks - they took nearly an hour and came after our food.Mains: $34 for a Thai seafood curry which contained exactly 3 mussels, 3 shrimp and 3 tiny scallops - nothing else. It felt like a scavenger hunt finding any food on my plate; consider it more of an overpriced entree.It was a reasonably busy night but there’s a limit on how much a business should stretch this excuse when it begins to impact the service this much.

First & last time here, incredibly disappointed after hearing great things. I have 10 years in the industry and have never had such an experience. It wasn’t busy nor were they short staffed, the girls were just too busy leaning on the bar, we were walked past multiple times by staff with empty drinks, and not asked if we wanted another nor did anyone clear the drinks. We would’ve stayed and had plenty more drinks had we not been ignored. The cocktails were way over priced for what was in them and the food was mediocre. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone

Based on website, photos, reviews etc.. we were expecting a vibrant and busy atmosphere for Friday night cocktails and dinner. However, slightly disappointed on overall experience. Drink orders were delivered wrong, (+ we were never asked if wanted any more) and we were missing a dish from our 'shared' dishes that we decided to go for and so missed out on the won tons. (Which is funny cause the waitress read out our orders back to us).On a plus - the Pork Belly was AMAZING as was the garlic flat bread. Maybe I set my own expectations too high??.... slightly disappointed, however was still an 'OK' experience.

Wow I really loved this place. Great atmosphere and STELLAR service. Coming from Sydney I wasn't sure what the cocktails would be like, but they were some of the best I've ever had. AND they even gave us a sampler Miami Vice for free. Yum
