We chose this restaurant for several reasons. We were flying in from Christchurch that evening, and so wanted a place that was near the hotel--that wasn't too much of a challenge, as we were staying in a busy downtown location that offered quite a few dining options. The other was the presence of seafood on the menu, and the third was that we were able to get a reservation, which allowed us to not have to think too much, nor to worry when we were already obligated to eat later than is our norm.
We both very much enjoyed this small and bustling restaurant--our table wasn't free when we arrived, and so we sat at the bar initially, which was very pleasant and the bartender gave us a few insights into both the wine and the menu. My husband took the plunge on New Zealand oysters and we ordered a number of small plates rather than a main course, and each and every dish was delicious. He thought it was the second best place we ate the whole trip (a high bar indeed) and I thought it was in the top half. Highly recommended.
