First time dining last night. I'd heard awesome reviews and they were all correct. Excellent service, highly recommend sitting at the chefs table or bar area, great to get to see them doing their work. Chef came over for a chat a couple of times also. Food was epic!! Nothing I could fault. Excellent portion sizes for the price which is unusual these days for such fine dining. Will definitely be back x

Book the Chef's Table if you can. We somehow managed to sneak a booking on a Friday night on our one day in Christchurch. What an experience! Fantastic food accompanied by amazing insights from Rhys and the other chefs. Best Creme Brulee I've had in the southern hemisphere!

Had dinner in the Chef's Bar, was a really great experience, would recommend if available. Loved the food. All the dishes felt "simple" (in a good way) and very well executed. Excellent sauces with depth and complexity of flavor. Well balanced acidity and fattyness in all dishes. Top notch ingredients are used, be it the fresh fish or the vegetables. It really is an adventure for all your senses to eat here. Loved talking to the chef (he is also the owner) and seeing the kitchen operated in such an efficient manner and looked like everyone there was having a good time, despite it being a really busy evening. A ton of work is invested in the prep for the service to be so well executed. Lactose sensitivity was easily catered for. Really nice that all dishes can be ordered half size. Will definitely want to come back. By far our best dining experience in 6 weeks of NZ.

The food was amazing! Rustic and flavourful. The beef was done medium rare, and was perfectly seared on the outside and medium rare on the inside. It was tender and very flavourful! The broccolini and potatoes were ordered were half dishes at NZ$14 each. Amazing option offered by the waitress!

Quite fun watching the team cook from the chef’s bar! Lamb was really tender and all the plates smelled amazing! We were amazed at how crispy the breading was yet how soft the inside artichokes were. The fish crudo had us searching up if we could make creme fraiche at home; such a great pair with the fresh fish. We thought we were too full for dessert, but the treckle cake was a lovely light dessert! A sweet ending to a delightful dinner, we didn’t regret it
