Let’s hope you like your menu options limited...

When the menu is already small, and then the wait staff tell you half the options are no longer available, it doesn’t bode well. Then when your table had ordered, the waitress comes have to say two of you have to change your order as...they’re almost out of fish...then one glass of wine doesn’t turn up... To make matters worse, we’d actually booked a month ago so it’s hardly a surprise that our table of 13 turned up expecting to be fed. We won’t be back.More

One of the best brunches I have had all year!

Seriously delicious and quality food. I had their cauliflower corn tortilla which was one of the best meals I have had all year. The other people I brunched with were also raving about their food. I only wish I lived in Dunedin because I would...go back all the time!More

the 'secret of success' has gone

The ‘promise’ has failed to deliver. Gone is the superb dining. And gone is the whole experience around it. Now only a bleak shadow of itself, Glenfalloch is not the place anymore that it once was. The superb dining has gone, as did the chef...and the team. Learning that the team has moved to St.Clair’s ‘titi’ restaurant was somehow a relieve. So long Glenfalloch. Salute ‘titi’!More

Fine Dinning in Little Dunedin

We recently dined at this restaurant. We decided to have the degustation meal. The meal started quite promptly for the first 3 courses. Then after a little rest, we were served the final 2 courses. We felt that we were a little rushed initially. However,...as we went through the course, it was actually quite well timed. The food got better through the night. Our highlight was the the quality of food and our waitress Jaspreet. The rest of the courses were well presented and very tasty indeed. This is definitely a must try restaurant .More

Good morning. I'm coming home for a visit and would love to bring my mum but she is at present unable to walk or sit for long unless we have a wheelchair for her. Are you wheelchair friendly and strange question but are your seats hard as my dad is quite thin and might need a cushion. I'm down this weekend. thank you so much in advance. ☺

We are planning to be on the Otago Peninsula on a Monday when unfortunately the restaurant is closed, is it possible and worthwhile to visit the gardens? Is there a cost?
