โ โ โ โ โ We had an awesome fine dining experience here. I asked waitstaff Christel what can she recommend to me as a main course and dessert and it was really really yum! Ambiance and food was fantastic. Would like to thank as well the boys from the kitchen for making my birthday dessert really special. Got a photo but could not upload it for some reason. You guys rock!!!

โ โ โ โ โ Staff are wonderful. Food was GREAT desert was incredible. Views were amazing and the grounds looked well looked after. Our room was perfect and bathrooms were tidy. Only thing I think that might be nice is the massage rooms could be darker. And someone on the desk at all times greating people in the spa.

โ โ โ โ โ My family and I dined here last week. It was highly rated and came recommended. We did the dining experience for two for $180, plus drinks. We regularly eat at fine dining restaurants. It's a nice enough setting, quiet, tables aren't too close to each other. The staff can be hard to understand, and I heard a few other diners really struggling. I genuinely don't mind being served by someone who's second language is English, however, it makes it hard when you are asking them to repeat everything multiple times. Despite that, service was friendly. When I raised concern with my drink it was replaced without question. The food was overall, pretty disappointing. There is obviously a lot of attention paid to getting the food *looking* good, but unfortunately, not nearly as much making sure that the flavors are paired well. Some dishes which should have been amazing, just seemed to have a markets worth of different vegetables, without any concern for whether they complimented or contrasted each other. The meat was good quality, pretty well cooked, but for me, the rub was a big miss. They are obviously trying to make use of the ingredients sourced locally, but I think it's a miss in terms of the flavours etc. I think they need to examine the dishes and ensure that what goes on the plate, has a good reason for being there. It's a shame because I can see what they are trying for, but I think it's not quite there yet.

โ โ โ โ โ My daughters and I dined 27 July, disappointing. The service was good but the food, for a "fine" dining restaurant was very average. The seafood platter was underwhelming and not really enogh for 2. I had the King Ora salmon which was overcooked and under seasoned. We didn't complain as we were hungry and couldn't wait another 30 or more minutes for replacements. Not sure if I would recommend or go there again.

โ โ โ โ โ Super delicious food. We had the seafood plate to share and it was surprisingly wondeful, from presentation to the taste (just a tad sweet, but generally super). Good combination of everything. Great creativity, chef!!!! Duck entree (appetizer) was awesome, and apple strudel dessert was delectable too. Staff was very friendly despite the fact that we were under-dressed. Price was very reasonable. Best restaurant in New Zealand amongst the ones we tried on our 8-day journey, even better than food in Auckland and Wellington. Highly recommend.

โ โ โ โ โ I made a reservation here for a special occasion and dropped off a homemade cake to the restaurant a day early. They were fantastic, everything about their professionalism and politeness was outstanding. We ordered two loafs to share, the vegetarian fettuccine, pork belly, seafood platter to share, and a side of roasted vegetables, as well as a bottle of sparkling wine. The food was divine, cooked beautifully and all bought out the same time too. We were given plenty of time to decide what we wanted, and the food was bought out in a timely manner. Overall the food, quality, presentation of the establishment was top quality.

โ โ โ โ โ Itโs located near the ocean. So you could go outside and see the ocean from the restaurant. Surprisingly the food they serve very good. Not much selections but all of the food they serve very good.
I would recommend to eat here ?

โ โ โ โ โ If you are looking for delicious food then this is the place. It's not a family restaurant but more of a fancy date night place. It's quite expensive but the food is really good. The highlight for me was the seafood chowder! 10/10. It's right near the water so it was a nice view. The service was friendly.
