My absolute favourite place to go in Timaru. Food and cocktails are always done to an amazing standard and they often have a 'specials menu' or a change of menu which keeps it exciting to keep going on the regular!

We went here in error thinking we were going to Speights which is attached right next door. After an explanation of how things worked we ordered 4 choices and weren't disappointed. Everything was delicious and we'd certainly go back if we lived in the area!...The waitress was great too, very thoughtful - even propping up our wobbly table leg without us mentioning it. The place was extremely busy with Xmas groups but the service was still very good if slightly slow at the start of which was apologised for. So pleased we went and we certainly made an excellent mistake!More

If you like your food to taste like it came from the ashes of hell then this is the place for you. Don’t let the look of this restaurant fool you. Tapas style food is a good idea when you can pull it off. This...restaurant has a long way to go. $14 for 2 spring rolls, which tasted like they were cooked for so long the cabbage disintegrated and the wrapper sucked up all of the unchanged oil they were cremated in. The vege dumpling wrappers were burnt yet somehow still raw, don’t get me started on the filling and be grateful they come with some black vinegar to drown them in to make them taste like anything other than dried wet mushroom. If the Chipotle Fried Chicken was called “Fried Within an Inch of its Life Chicken Jerky”, then we’d have got what we asked for. The dish we most looked forward to was the Indian Fried Cauliflower, sadly, our hopes of something good coming from the kitchen came to no avail. With no chimichurri sauce in sight, we were thankful it came with some ‘from the bottle’ chipotle mayo to cover the taste of it. The coating was so sweet and blackened it tasted of burnt sugar and dirty deep fryer. Not once did any of the staff approach the table to ask if everything was alright, though they should have been asking ‘is anything alright?’. Upon leaving, we were still not asked if we enjoyed the food, which really just showed the staff already knew the food was horrific. It would be interesting to know where all these 5 star reviewers were actually dining because I wouldn’t for a second believe it was here. We want to say something nice about this experience, however, nothing comes to mind. We truly hope the restaurant takes this criticism and uses it constructively as we’re sure there is, with some hard work, potential for it to do well in the future.More
