The whole experience was fantastic from start to finish. Excellent cocktails mixed by fabulous bar staff. Or waiter Lachy was well versed on every dish and more than happy to answer any questions we had about the ingredients. Definitely one of my new favourite restaurants. View all feedback.

Stumbled across this restaurant on our way back to the hotel decided to try it out. Food service absolutely brilliant. Restaurant celebrates local produce ingredients. Our highlight was the seafood chawanmushi, crayfish sandwich venison!
We had one of our best nights in Queenstown here with a very switched on crew. We were in early and got to chat to the young bloke from Argentina who really knew his barcraft. Great cocktails and wine suggestions. The front of house lady from the USA could not have been more attentive. Wonderful business in the hands of young people having a go on their lap around the world. Menu is now Tapas style and as good as back in Spain. No big stodgy numbers at all. Do yourself a favour.
Words alone can not adequately describe the above and beyond service and exceptional experience of dining here. Five stars is simply insufficient. The food is immaculately presented and the flavours; bombastic. The recommendations are phenomenal. Try everything at least once! Cocktails are accurately described in the menu and further explanation from the staff was delightfully insightful and helpful. The martini style drink that smells of the ocean and had a lemon finish was a fantastic surprise. The service is three Michelin star worthy. Stories of the locally sourced ingredients and wineries were fantastic. Definitively an experience I would go out of my way to have again, without hesitation. Thank you sincerely.
We went two times one for dinnner and the other for brunch. The dinner was quite nice. Loved the salmon dish. Food quality and presentation were bith great. The dinner time staffs are knowledgeable, friendly and experienced. He recommended the best rose I had in NZ. The french toast was so tasty with the vanilla bean cream. When we went back for brunch though... not so welcomed. It took so long to place an order. The hall was quite understaffed...? One staff said something behind the counter; sounded like something didn't go well. We all have bad days but I felt it was quite inappropriate. I immediately felt quite uncomfortable and questioned about leaving. I would go back ... but maybe just for the dinner.
