The place has a warm atmosphere and I enjoyed a good steak and a speciality beer. Typical selection of bistro type dining and some yummy desserts. The food took a long time to come, but we were in a large group and not in a hurry.

We went here at 4.00pm on a chilly day hoping for something nice to eat. Diva provided this for us. The bar snacks were very tasty and the staff extremely welcoming and friendly. Would return.

Lovely setting, very friendly staff and great food. Steaks superb as was the oven baked lamb rack. Cheesecake was a great way to finish a wonderfully evening out.

Great food and service from this restaurant!! The waiter was exceptional and the other staff were fantastic also. Couldnt fault the food, and the scallop entree was exceptional. Have dined here a few times and never been disappointed. A great experience.

Ate here on a Saturday night & they were busy, both in the restaurant & the bar. Our meals were tasty and well plated, the wine list was very good and the waiter was friendly and efficient. Good value for money as well.

And the hollandaise was just right :) Coffee was fantastic, freshly squeezed juice hit the spot and wasnt too... More

Went here for a family event. They had a good range of food, even for the kids The service was very good and the appetizers were authentic NZ (Paula fritters and fried pork - wonderful) The only issue was that the day was very hot and with the whole place open it was very hard to keep it cool indoors,...
