    Great ambience by the river under the stars. Pizzas okay but pricey for what they were.

    Fantastic place to be on a sunny day. Booking system needs work, couldn’t find our booked table and finally found someone who helped us with it after walking around nearly 20 mins. Loved it otherwise.

    Will know for next time to reserve a table on the grass and in the shade if possible. Good place for a relaxed catch up. Thanks

    It was a return visit. Unfortunately I wasn’t aware of the cyclone damage when I made the booking and even though they have done enough to function again I am hopeful they will restore the premises to at least the previous level of presentation. Don’t get me wrong, the staff and service were both delightful, the food delicious and I will go back again. Sitting there and observing the river activity and the busyness of the passing human traffic makes it a perfect location.

    I ordered the charcuterie board not realizing it was only meat, and yes it may have said that in the description but most people look at the word charcuterie and automatically think meat and cheese. When it arrived and we saw what was on it we ordered the cheese board but ended up wasting a fare bit of meat. Maybe it could be called something like a carnivore board (no offence intended) then less confusion. I personally think that sounds cute a carnivore board and a cheeseboard.

    I had booked a table for 10 pax @ 7pm we arrived at about 7:05. One of my friends went to order only to be told the kitchen was closed. I was very confused as it clearly says kitchen open till 9. The staff at the counter went to talk to the kitchen after I had mentioned that we had a booking. She came out and said yes they will serve us because we had a booking. One of my Friends ordered then someone else went to order a pizza and we were told they weren’t doing pizzas. Which really doesn’t leave a lot of menu choices. It was handled extremely bad by the staff and there was clearly no one senior on. I was so embarrassed as I had booked for the 10 of us and we had to go find somewhere else to eat. So disappointed and utterly embarrassed.
