Great dining experience - really enjoyed both the food and the service. The lamb pie was great and the fresh localfish was superb. Highly recommended.

We didn't book in advance and were lucky to get a table. Go for the pizza! The selection was vast and they were so fresh - absolutely delicious. Pizza elsewhere is now rather boring

It was a nice restaurant if you wanted to just go out and enjoy a meal. We had the seafood platter for a starter and it was lovely. And the spare ribs for a main.

Although the meals were well cooked they lacked a little in presentation. The crackle on my wife's pork belly was not scored so was difficult to cut.Service was fine but I don't think we would return.

Went late on a Wed night, it was half price pizza night so was great value. They were accommodating with getting us a nice table and happy to oblige with dietary requirements. Lovely pizza and garlic bread, we had a local pinot gris, which also went down a treat. Will go back.

Another of Kerikeri's little gems. Small but well situated in the centre of town. Good quality food served by friendly and attentive staff.
