I went there because of their perfect 5.0 review rating from 444 reviews and it lived up to its rating (which I cynically expected it would not!)

Two couples at our table and everyone agreed it was a wonderful night. Restaurant was busy but not full so noise level was OK. Food was fabulous 👌

Really enjoyed the meals but was just thinking I was going to be getting abit more of a fine dining experience by the reviews I had read online and based on the price of the meals. Staff were lovely.

Pleasant waiting staff who were friendly. They could have highlighted that the entree chosen was also part of the main. We felt we would’ve ordered a different entree had we known this. The ribeye steak cut was thin and so the requested M/Rare didn’t deliver, but was Medium instead. Decor was plain and lacking ambiance. Prices were what you would pay for a steak house, but the overall experience didn’t match that expectation.

Probably a weird comment, maybe slightly over attentive and lots of staff helped maybe 1/2 would have been better to build a better closer repor.

Everything was lovely with the sole exception being the "duck fat potatoes". These were both overpriced and underwhelming. Great service.

Trouvé par hasard, ce restaurant a comblé nos papilles ! La viande de bœuf accompagnée d’un verre de vin rouge néo-zélandais était excellente, et le brownie était dingue aussi ! Allez y les yeux fermés, et en plus le service est top. Merci beaucoup pour cette soirée et ce repas !

Food was so good, we ordered steak, ribs, lamb and salmon but the best dish was probably the bone marrow, never had it cooked like that before, even our kids loved it. Will definitely dine here again if we come back to Christchurch, the staff and owner was really friendly too 👍
