Phil's Kitchen

Definitely order the lemon meringue. The complimentary bread we had was also incredible

Dine there on our special occasion and had a great delicious food. And again at lunch with friend. Quite expensive but as you know thus is fine dining restaurant with highly experienced Chef and owner.

I finally got to dine at Phil’s Kitchen after much anticipation and was completely taken aback by the entire dining experience. The restaurant is classically styled and chic and the wait staff was highly attentive and knowledgeable, not to mention, very accommodating.Fortunately on the night I attended, there was a set 3 course menu, so it was very easy and relaxed to select from some stunningly presented dishes and dabble in the very exciting wine menu.I thoroughly enjoyed every course I had from a pork belly with sweet corn, pomegranate and parsnip purée entree, to the crispy skin snapper fillet in lemon beurre with broccolini tomato style tapenade and a white chocolate mousse with poached peach and honey drizzled thickened cream. The food was exquisite and my palate was taken on an intimate food journey starting with freshly baked spiced bread, which was simply delightful.To accompany my food, I was in heaven trying McLaren Valley Shiraz, followed by a divine Cotes du Rhône with a soy latte to close.The entire dining experience was exceptional and I eagerly look forward to dining here again to enjoy more of the modern European menu. Phil’s Kitchen has become a special restaurant I’ve been completely impressed by. A Wednesday night introduction to their set menu was the perfect way to experience this restaurant first hand. Highly recommended with the highest distinction!

Wowser, yet another fantastic meal at Phils. Beautifully presented as always, flavours were just incredible, and did I say the tenderest pork I have ever eaten. Love Wednesday nights at Phils. 3 courses, you never know what will be on the menu that day. But it is always a pleasure to find out. Entree was spectacular with Beef cheek ravioli (that was the best non pasta ravioli ever), pork fillet and delicious parfait dessert. If you haven’t been to Phils Kitchen book in!

The food here was delicious. We had the pork belly and salmon cannelloni to start, and both were executed perfectly. We had lamb and hapuka as mains which tasted amazing.

Very thought out and flavoursome food. Presentation top marks. Our starter was a bit in the cold side and the waitress was a little lackluster but we were enjoying ourselves so not too bothered by this.Dessert was amazing. Would definitely recommend this little restaurant. Just give the decor a bit of warmth as it was lacking in this plus atmosphere a bit dim if it wasn't for our roudy conversation.

Lunch was great value at $40 per person for the set menu. Portion sizes were quite generous for lunch and for such beautifully crafted and visually stunning food.

My grandad hated Phil because he was envious of the success you had. My grandad has since gone to jail for level 3 tax evasion. He wanted to get that off of his chest. Good food, good people, good Phil.

Very nice and tasty meals.Great ideas and perfectly cooked.Recommending if you want to try something new and different.
