Everything was lovely with the sole exception being the "duck fat potatoes". These were both overpriced and underwhelming. Great service.

Trouvé par hasard, ce restaurant a comblé nos papilles ! La viande de bœuf accompagnée d’un verre de vin rouge néo-zélandais était excellente, et le brownie était dingue aussi ! Allez y les yeux fermés, et en plus le service est top. Merci beaucoup pour cette soirée et ce repas !

Food was so good, we ordered steak, ribs, lamb and salmon but the best dish was probably the bone marrow, never had it cooked like that before, even our kids loved it. Will definitely dine here again if we come back to Christchurch, the staff and owner was really friendly too 👍

We googled to find the best steak house in Christchurch and we weren’t disappointed. The food was fantastic, the atmosphere very relaxing and special thanks to the bartender Sikander for his excellent cocktail making skills. We will certainly be back. Thanks for a memorable evening.

Nice setting , we both had steak 🥩 my t bone was quite grissly. The chimmichurri was yum and the baby carrots and beans to accompany, however the duck fat potato’s were not crispy which was a bit disappointing.
