The food is the same each time - hot, tasty, well presented and plenty of it! The menu is comprehensive and you can have appetisers/starters, half meals and full meals. There is a board with specials available every day - soup, pasta, fish of the day, chef specials, dessert of the day and ice cream flavours etc. I like that... More

We have been here on previous trips to Dunedin, and this is a well run establishment that serves good food at reasonable prices. The service was excellent, and the portion sizes are quite generous. Nice atmosphere, but can get a bit noisy at times. Our party of six all enjoyed their meals.

Very helpful staff. Superbly efficient from waitress to chef. Good quality meal, generous serving. A little more pricey than I expected but overall a good experience and all the meals I saw served looked great.

Dined here upon recommendation from manager of Duke of Wellington pub down the road (which doesn't serve food). Great suggestion - food was reasonable priced and good honest new Zealand produce - and very reasonably priced - great beer and good wine selection. To be recommended

Yum yum yum! Great range of food options. I'm a vegetarian and I had several yummy dishes to choose from. The food is well priced and hearty. There is a roaring fire place and great atmosphere. We did a Speights Brewery Tour and Lunch package - highly recommended.

Eating here is not posh... if you are looking for table linen and poncy little meals lost on a big white plate then you are in the wrong place. My meal here was GREAT - good servings and a great steak cooked the way I requested. Side dishes were not extra and so excellent value for money. The service was... More
