Food was empecable and Service great. A great restaurant for a special occasion. Price was high however, if you compare it with dining out generally in NZ it was ok. You only pay slightly less fr what I think are pub meals.

What a special place for a special dinner. Great service and fantastic food, a gourmet paradise. I had the grain fed sirloin with beef cheek ravioli, just superb and could have gone back for seconds if I had room. All our party were ecstatic with their meals, the decor is top class and on a good evening looking out over the Waikato river the setting would be complete. Very much a special occasion restaurant for food lovers.

Despite the rather unsophisticated service, the food is really good here. We both had the goats cheese starter and I had the flounder fillets with peas and smashed potato. Can't be faulted.
I can't understand why NZ restaurants don't offer NZ sparkling wine/bubbles by the glass when there are so many brilliant ones, instead we got only prosecco. The other wines by the glass are well chosen. Other than that, the food is delicious.

What a lovely get together on Christmas Eve after arriving from Northern Ireland - delicious food with very amazing combinations of flavours beautifully presented - enjoyed every mouthful and hope to return before we head home.
