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.

I love to…read moresupport vegan friendly restaurants whenever I can, so I came here even though it was just for a coffee with my partner. I got a soy cappuccino and my boyfriend got the same, and our total came to $12. I thought that was kind of excessive ($6 for a coffee?!) but I rolled with it since I just really wanted coffee. We sat on the big couch in the front which was nice and cozy. We had a good time and the cafe wasn't super busy (it was over Christmas holidays, but not an actual holiday day). The employees were nice and the coffee was good, one of the best I'd had on our little road trip from Auckland. All in all, I'd go here again because the coffee was good and it was a chill place to hang out, but I seriously think they need to reconsider their prices.

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!

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.
