The biggest food sharing platter I think I have ever seen. When they say a platter is for 2-4 people it is definitely for more than 2 people.

Crowded and noisy, good for the drinking crowd but not for families with young children, or just anyone wanting a meal without shouting. They are understaffed and it took ages to get an order in. We had to flag down someone who seemed to work behind the bar rather than the tables. There was an issue with one item but he dealt with it very well. Good quality is just above average, OK for the typical crowd I guess. Tempted to give 5 stars for the one member of staff who dealt with us, but overall the food and place itself doesn't deserve more than 4. Pizza is not great, contrary to some reviews.

This restaurant has great food, but the kitchen closes early. So make sure you arrive before 9 to be able to order food. Other than that, the service was a bit slow, and our drinks order was messed up. The food is really tasty. So recommend trying this restaurant before 9.

Second time here meeting friends, a convivial space with access to the cafe muni next door as well as the evening bar menu during lunchtime.We have sampled the margarita pizza , arancini balls, eggs various ways and a vegetarian pizza on a gluten free base. All very edible, some better than others (gluten free rarely works), and generally good to share with others over a coffee or drink.Great, friendly staff and chef who serves some food. This is the highlight, and being just far enough off the Eat Street hype.

Food was delicious. Platter was well worth the money. Food can be slow and possibly need 1 more front of house staff.

Fantastic quality food and good value. The Kaimoana platter is very tasty. The pizza bread and arancini were also excellent. This fed 5 of us generously.Our only small complaint was that the service could have been a bit more attentive.

Casual and trendy eatery. Indoor and outdoor seating near the heart of Rotorua. Courteous and sociable staff. Nice menu options and our bites were very flavorsome. Good cocktail and beverage options. A nice place for a bite and beverage.

Great sized platter and great cocktail! Had the Pina Colada. Food was ready within minutes and was hot! Delicious. The garlic bread was amazing!!! Great waitresses, very accommodating. Were able to book us a table at late notice as well which I appreciated as it was packed last time we attempted to come. Happy bellies all around
