We chose the pot stickers, risotto mozzarella fried balls, sesame chicken, and shrimp - all small dishes. The sesame chicken was my fav. Husband liked the pot stickers best. For dessert we had the brownie cookie with ice cream and caramel. So good. Service was excellent. We did not have a reservation but were seated immediately as we were there a bit later in the night. The place was hopping. The service staff worked well as a team and we were comfortable asking any passing server for anything we needed. Great stop.

If I ever come through here again I'll try a smoothie. It's right by the tourist-heavy Eat Streat area but it manages to feel like a true neighborhood joint. There were always locals hanging out when I was there. No wifi, unfortunately. Very tasty Eggs Benedict. If you're at one of the nearby hotels and want a more down-to-earth spot for cafe fare, you'll probably be as grateful as I was for this cafe

Two waffles were accompanied with crispy bacon and fried bananas, lightly sprinkled in powdered sugar with some lovely thick maple syrup as well. I'm sure there were no calories in this dish. I ate every morsel. It was so good. With my waffles, I had a creamy, hot latte topped with beautiful latte art. I also had a few slurps of Husband's berry smoothie. Oh was that good too. Everything was so yummy. Service was good. You review the menu and order at the counter. They bring your food and drinks to you. Lots of seating. Street parking was easy and they open a bit earlier than most other breakfast places. Great experience.

So happy we decided to come here for dinner! At first we were bummed we didn't explore the city…read moremore because there was an area called Eat Street with a bunch of restaurants but after walking past them all, we were still happy with this restaurant! The meals are about $20 so be prepared to spend some money. But the meals were worth it! We ordered some chips and salsa to start and the salsa was really good! The waitress brought us a second serving of the salsa because we finished the first one before the food came. My husband and I planned to order 2 meals and split them. It worked out perfectly because both meals we ordered came with 2 large tacos. One dish was the fish tacos of the day: a lightly breaded cod-like fish. The other dish was the duck tacos. Both were delicious but the duck dish was a little more unique in flavor so we both preferred that dish. The restaurant quickly filled up around 7:30 so I guess it's good to come early to this restaurant! It is quite small so if it is full you may have awhile to wait. But it will be worth it! We would definitely come back here again although we only had one more night here so we will probably try something else. But enjoy!

I did the A La Carte menu and my partner did the buffet (steak, seafood, salad, options for daysss). I had the "soup of the moment" which was mushroom, and the ravioli (beetroot, gorgonzola, walnuts, in a white beurre sauce). With a bottle of Kopiko Bay Sauvignon Blanc. It was fantastic. The flavors were exquisite and everything was flawlessly prepared. This was honestly the best place we ate in Rotorua and I can't BELIEVE it wasn't more crowded. Don't be fooled by it's location in the hotel it is incredible--and quite reasonably priced for what it offers. Really highly recommended.
