We just keep coming back. Shane and Heather would have to be up there with the best hosts.Went for brunch before returning home and it was a great way to finish our weekend. All six dishes were cooked to perfection and everyone had to agree we'd be back. Coffee was superb and a second one went down just great, although... More

This is the second time my husband and I have dinned at this resturant and have been disappointed with the service.

what a great menu full of lovely seafood and light but refreshing ingredients. The waitress was fabulous and it felt cozy and intimate there with one of my best friends.A great little find that was not at all pretentious like some in ahuriri More

The food is good (although I think the quality has been steadily decreasing over the past 6 months). I no longer go here as the menu has not changed since it opened, and I don't believe that a menu shold last longer than a season, let alone a year or two. More

A small inconspicuous little restaurant in Napier's quay that almost eluded us because I assumed it had to be among the grouping of pubs at one end of of West Quay road. Thankfully we persisted ( came around again another day ) or we would have missed out on a great dinner of - scallops on creamy risotto ( wife... More

We were so glad to dine at this lttle restaurant. I say little because its not very big (in size!) but it certainly made up for its size with lovely, tasting food. There are tables outside, but inside was really nice and cosy. It wasn't noisy either, even though you can see the chefs at work in the kitchen! Fantastic... More

We stumbled upon this excellent restaurant on a Sunday night and would go back in a heartbeat. Superb duck spring rolls, warm bread with hummus, oil and rub to start. To die for grilled salmon on a bed of fresh corn relish. Also, grain sliced beef tenderloin , potato galette and a beet, mozzerella, hazelnut slaw on the side. Wines... More

Quite a few Napier locals frequent this small Tapas and Wine bar. This restaurant was suggested to me by the manager of one of the higher ranked restaurants which was closed for lunch. I ordered the prawns (small portion, average to good) and tandoori chicken pizza (ample size for one person and pretty tasty). The small tapas bar is situated... More
