A modest cafe but very clean throughout. Went with the seafood platter to taste as much New Zealand as possible. All was delicious. Presentation is simple but perfection. Worth the trip even if it was 13,000 KMs !

Blue cod (flaky texture, mild sweet favour) served with hand cut chips, coleslaw and traditional tartare sauce definitely hit a high notch for us. It was delicious and worth every penny spent. Good to chill and eat 😊

Food was great. Bluff oysters were nice and fresh all the food tasted well cooked. Staff were extremely friendly and attentive. The ice cream afterwards was so good. The cherry on top of an amazing dining experience.

The food is good, tasty. We had Blue Cod (2 piecrs) pan fried with fries and coleslaw, and Blue Cod (1 piece) crumbed with fries and salad. The bill was a bit expensive. Staff was very friendly.

Got the pan fried fish of the day (blue cod) it was so good! Chips are also hand cut and fried in beef lard! No canola oil or seed oils here. Lightest batter ever. Yum

SENSATIONAL ... my wife had the gluten-free battered Blue Cod (with chips and coleslaw). Very tasty and excellent portions. Oh, their finely shredded coleslaw is divine. I had a tasty whitebait pattie that was prepared to a gastronomic delight standard.

Excellent food cooked the old-fashioned way, homemade chips and a coleslaw with a vinegar type dressing. Also, complimentary bread and butter! And vinegar on every table! Good drinks selection too

Probably the worst food I’ve eaten since coming to New Zealand. I ordered the Blue Cod with a serving of chips each for my wife and I. She wouldn’t touch it! Fish was so greasy you couldn’t taste any fish and the chips looked like they were refried again after another customer had left them! The price was $38 NZ dollars with a tub of tartare sauce… $54 NZ dollars if you wanted to eat in! Never recommend this place.
