Really loved it! Every course we chose was so delicious, from the bruschetta to the really juicy meat and cheesecake dessert. We also loved Brian, the Colombian waiter.

We ordered the lamb rump and pork ribs with the Beef rib sides. AMAZING! We see why Jaba is in the top five restaurants in Christchurch. Frankly, they should be #1!

Best steak meal we have had in NZ. (Just a pity they didn't have Hot English mustard or Australia Mustard only Dujoin). Espresso Martini and Sauv.Blanc wine was well up to standard. Very pleasant waitress/wait person/waiter. Recommend !!!!

The halloumi entree was massive (I had it as a main and it was still too much for me!). The calamari was amazing, desert was superb, and my partners steak was cooked to perfection. Well worth the $$.

The cocktails and steaks we order were fantastic but not so much the atmosphere. Seated near the very noisy kitchen was quite off putting, listening to the dishwasher clean pans and all the budget heaters outside with cords running everywhere looked messy, in fact the customer on next table tripped over one. Made the overall experience very under whelming.

Have dined a few times and all the other times it's has been really good, this time wasn't up to the usual standard. Service was good - just a bit slow to start with and the restaurant wasn't that busy. The steak unfortunately was rather bland for the more expensive filet. The most disappointing part was we asked to take home the bone marrow bone for our dog and were given our leftover two potatoes.

Food was very nice and the service was Ok in general, a little pushing and trying to move us along. Was there for a client dinner and had an important customer with us, we wanted to talk, eat and drink not and eat and drink and leave. Toward the end of our dining, staff started cleaning up and packing up the restaurant around us, taking out the rubbish, slamming doors and generally acting like we should leave so they could go home. Nice food but the back end of the service really let it down, hospitality is slipping in this country.
