We had an ok meal here-maybe the recommendation was over the top but we had 2 people that don't like chili and a basic spag Bol was so hot they couldn't eat it much of it. The chili bit wasnt mentioned on the menu! The staff offered to change it but we had already waited quite awhile so my friend... More

We had a 70th birthday to celebrate, and the staff were very subtle in their arriving with the special apple pie complete with candles and then joining in to sing "happy birthday' to our guest. The main meals were all very well received, staff very attentive, even down to the complimentary liquer... More

The best food in New Zealand. The specials suited us to perfection: belly pork for me; lamb shank for the appendage and boy were we satisfied! Ambiance, food, décor, service - perfect. Look no further.

If you are looking for a sensible option for dinner in Wanaka, then this could be the place for you. Upstairs location in central wanaka, the staff were fabulous, very polite, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. I had the special which was lamb and the only down side was that it was such a big portion for me... More

What a lovely surprise to find this restaurant. We think that it's brilliance is the "specials" which are truly special. I entered with a huge appetite , but could not quite finish. Great service too which is not always easy to find in a small town.
