Extremely pricey and somehow pretty common… Very posh. I was actually very disappointed as I had heard very good reviews. Maybe we were not lucky with our choices… Who knows? But I don’t think I will go back…

This place is exceptional! We went there for a family birthday and we were all so impressed. The waiter was at our table making sure everything was perfect as if her was an old friend. He new everything about everything and even told us how 3 different types of gins were made and how they tasted! The food was really nice, interesting and i tried thing i would never have expected to. Were got deserts which were delicious and they wrote a beautiful happy birthday on the plate made of chocolate. It is quite pricey but you pay for the quality and service so no reason to complain.
Our dinner was a luxury, Highly recommend. Thanks hippo for a great evening! -

Had the pleasure of dining here Saturday evening. Dining room was busy due to WOW and several other Wellington activities. Plenty of knowledgeable staff in attendance. We dined early and were served our three courses with an hour and a quarter which was perfect for attending a show. We would have liked to have not been limited by time due to the show, longer to savour the amazing cuisine..flavours and combinations superb. Wine suggestion went well with our choices.Too often the wine waiter wants your wine order before you have chosen your menu… not here!! A beautiful dining experience. A little pricey but definitely fine dining at its best.

Went here for lunch as part of wellington on a plate and was not disappointed – excellent service & excellent food. Also managed to be in and out in under an hour without feeling at all rushed – awesome!

Rather disappointing. Food just seems colder than it should be. Soup was cold but it was forgivable since there was a novel pannacotta melting in it. But mains were served warm at best too. Maybe it’s because food was trying too hard on presentation and it took ages plating up but I would rather have good warm food with less fancy pretentious presentation.
