I can't rate this restaurant highly enough. The location is lovely and food is Masterchef spectacular and the service impeccable. The meals are not large but we ate 3 courses and felt just right afterward.

Excellent as always. I think this is the best restaurant in New Zealand. A real food journey, stunning. This time the service was also excellent, sometimes in the past, the service has been good, but not excellent.

Dined alone. Duck entree was very nice, abiet a little short on duck - only three small cubes in the dish! I wanted more!
Hapuka fish for main was perfectly cooked, with a lovely side of beans.
I didn't really need dessert, but chose the mousse - I found the salted peanut icecream a strange combination with the milk chocolate but it was still a very nice dessert.
Great place, 30 seconds walk from Ibis hotel. Recommend.

Palate was recommended to us for the best restaurant to dine at in Hamilton and we definetly were not disappointed. The meal matched with the chosen wines hit all the notes of satisfaction and cant wait to have another meal there next time. Atmosphere, presentation of food plus service was awesome.
