Well advertised, difficult to find on outskirts of Wellington. Great, well- priced wines, mediocre, to poor food. Salmon fishcakes were maybe 4 cm across, 1 cm thick, soggy. About 2 gram of soggy lettuce and tomato.
We complained, no response from waitress. Asked to see chef... We think it came from a frozen bag. He didn't come. Asked about their pork neck....out of stock for 2 days.
Main courses were average but very small.... chicken curry, no chutney, weird, mackerel, ok, even with lentils, stuffed chicken breast, reminiscent of 1970's....boring!
We came for the wine admittedly and lunch out but the latter so poor, would we visit just for wine...No
Service too was poor from the lady..We wanted to see chef, after the starter, he did come. Expensive compared to quality.
For some reason I did pay in full and give a tip... I must have been mad... I blame the wine.
A disappointing visit not to be repeated. When we got home an hour later wife and daughter both had a sandwich.
