    Fresh seafood

    One of the best meals we’ve had so far in New Zealand, the oysters were excellent and the salmon and gurnard mains spot on. Very friendly and efficient serving staff with good choice of local wines. Would recommend booking as they were turning diners away

    Great Food & Atmosphere

    Great seafood

    The menu looked good and the seafood was just wonderful. Paired with a glass or two of Cloudy Bay. And able to sit outside was an added bonus.
