Disappointing!

We asked again on pickup that this fish was definitely fresh, not frozen which they assured us it was. It was absolutely awful and 100% been frozen, it smelt and was tough. We  took the meal back and spoke to the owner/manager who then advised it was "his back up fish" and that today he did not have fresh gurnard! What!  Extremely annoying after asking many times for fresh Not Frozen fish. Will Never go back. At least both our Fitzroy go toos were honest when asked so good on them

We actually ate here so definitely a different experience from takeout…read more Let's start off...the seafood here is quite good. If you love oysters, just don't waste your time on them here, at least not raw. They are not served cold like they are in the states and they lack almost any briny flavor. Just do the mussels here in NZ. We had oysters and fish and chips (fried and grilled). The fish and chips were very good (well maybe not the chip portion, those were just okay) salad they came with was good too. The service was very friendly overall...but...and it's a big but. If you're from the US, get used to LOOONG waits in New Zealand. Service is never fast for prepared food. This was excessively long for even New Zealand standards. We waited almost an hour for our food from ordering. We almost walked out before our entrees came, because it was so long. That being said, they make good food here, just be very very patient. If you're crunched for time, Go elsewhere.

This was a great place for us to stop at while visiting the Waitomo Gloworm Caves. We got here…read moreright as the cafe was opening, which was probably a good thing since we didn't make a reservation but we were still able to get a table since we were early. I would recommend either making a reservation, or getting there early because it's a pretty small cafe and the dining room can fill up really quickly. Their parking spots out front is also pretty limited, so getting there early ensures that you have a place to park without having to circle around and find street parking. We got one of their salads and their fish and chips and both were absolutely divine. I loved the freshness of their salad and their flavor combination. The citrus dressing really tied it all together. The fish and chips, as a staple in NZ was so fresh and crispy here! I truly enjoyed it. The table next to us got the mini lamb burgers, and if I had more stomach space, I would have loved to try that too since it looked juicy and mouthwatering. The views in this place was also really great and and I truly enjoyed my visit.
