I assumed you'd get a small portion each but no, the tiny portion is to share so we left pretty hungry still and we are small eaters. Still though, the food was good, gorgeous space and friendly staff.

Not the best time to write a review about the place since it being busy and all that. The food was good. Well presented. The deserts served was the best thing of the night.

The outdoor setting on the street is not spectacular, but it’s COVID safe and worth it for the food. Great value for money. Definitely worth experiencing. If you liked this review give me a follow.

On balance, I can see a commonality of misgivings, but nothing ventured, nothing gained. Unassuming from the outside, but chic inside. Nicely lite inside with a very local feel to it. Food Oysters were ok, as Oysters generally are. The steak was cooked to perfection the sides of green and chips came out hot and were delicious. The Hapuka was excellent. The service was pleasant without being to pretentious. Bottom line for two with a couple glasses wine and champagne $280. A comprehensive wine list including premium wines, was a nice touch) Although the food was of high standard, and I suggest visit, if you are looking for restaurant somewhere different), I just thought it just lacked that X factor That would make into somewhere that you would to return weekly or monthly, if you lived out of area.
