I looked for something near by my AirBnb, this place popped up as a 5 star, granted with 1 review but it was recent. We drove by, they had street parking right in front.

Couldn't believe this small town had such wonderful and authentic chinese food.

It was overly sweet and had the consistency of mousse; he couldn't eat it. I had a salad which was okay but the roasted vegetables tasted like they'd been sitting a while and candied pecans were soggy (stale). The menu looked good but preparation was lacking. Ambience inside is dated. Service was friendly, as we've found virtually everywhere in NZ. With drinks, it was $72. We should have gone to the center of town -- perhaps tried Atticus Finch or Pig and Whistle for a burger.

Very good restaurant with friendly servers. They have daily specials in addition to their extensive…read moreregular menu. They serve New Zealand lamb, beef, pork, and chicken. They also have an extensive alcohol selection though we didn't try any during our visit. There is a large interior space as well as an equally large outdoor patio. They have outdoor string lights that help set the pleasant ambiance. A mixture of high and regular tables line the space. We ordered a Lamb Shank, Pork Ribs, and a Custom Grill with 2 portions of beef and 2 portions of lamb. All food came out in about 15-20 minutes, which was a bit long but we had ordered close to their closing time. I appreciated that they didn't complain, but were smiling and happy. Never once did we feel like we were being rushed out. Everything we ordered was delicious and tender. The chips (fries) that came with some of our dishes were crispy and fresh. The salad that came with my custom grill was perfectly tossed together. The prices are a bit on the higher side, but the quality cannot be beat and the service was 5/5. We'd be happy to return here if we're ever back in the area!

After checking out Kerosene Creek, we were looking for a place to eat lunch. My dad wanted fish and…read morechips so we decided to drop by Devon Sea Foods. We dropped in on a Sunday afternoon (around noon). Quite a few people were getting takeout, including us. The inside is cramped with only a couple chairs and no tables so it's strictly a to go place. The menu has quite the selection including a mix of seafood, sweets, burgers, toasted sandwiches and miscellaneous. There's also a few different combo options (ranges from $12.00 to 35.00 NZD). The $3.00 to 5.00 chips is an extra cost but only if you want an additional scoop. The combo no. 1 to 5 are smaller options ($7.00 to 10.00 NZD). One lame thing is you have to pay for the sauces. It's $0.50 NZD each for ketchup, tartare and aioli sauces. They're of the squeezed variety. - $20.00 combo - 3 fish, 2 sausages, 2 crabsticks, 6 battered mussels and chips. This was more than enough to share between the three of us. It's nicely packaged up but man, it's greasy. Fish was okay but a tad dry; it needed to be dipped in the tartar sauce. The best was the battered mussels; big and fresh. Next best was the sausages. Chips weren't crispy enough and not well seasoned. Cheap place but greasy. I don't get why fish & chips is so popular here.
