Expected more

Booked table of four with friends, exciting weekend trip to Akaroa. We had a reservation at newly established restaurant in Akaroa with the best reviews. Unfortunately in reality there was nothing that we expected. Instead of a great dining experience we've got a plane, below...average and tasteless food , not the best service as well. We would rate it as a cheap eats place , lots of cheap eats places in Christchurch are much better than this 'restaurant'.More

Beautiful decor and food to match!

The venue is cosy with lots of wood and lovely features. The place is spotlessly clean and the staff are lovely, calm and attentive. The food was great and service impeccable.

Indian fusion delight !

Absolutely delightful service, menu, fusion of flavours in ways I havent seen before. Absolute bonus having 4-5 desserts on the menu as well which my wife loved. Small error with ordering my main, dish was sent back to the kitchen, I was given poppadoms to...eat while it was cooked again and was super yum. Great service, atmosphere and I cant wait to return.More

Stunningly tasteful food

What a delight to visit a restaurant in Akaroa that serves different food than the standard menu selection that most of the restaurants are offering. The meal was superb (best butter chicken I have ever tasted outside India) and impeccable service by the two front...of house guys. Highly recommended.More

Delicious meals and good service

The entrees and mains we had were delicious. The lamb cutlets were perfectly cooked, as were the prawn wontons. Our mains were fully of flavour and filling. We didn't have dessert but the neighbouring table did and it looked very nice.
