One of the best meals I had in Auckland and my favorite evening while vacationing there. The friendliest staff ever. Food was excellent. The octopus with puréed butter beans is my new favorite dish. Simply amazing. This is the must-have item. Get this with the warm sourdough. Arugula and fennel salad was good but I think I chose poorly. The pear in the salad didn’t work for me. Maybe it wasn’t ripe enough. Great wine list but I’d love to see more local wines by the glass. And maybe some local cheese options.

"Wow! Apart from the delicious food that so yum, small plates and easy to share…the standout feature of this place is its fantastic staff. They are incredibly welcoming, efficient, and always ensure that both my friends and I, as well as any guests we bring along, feel right at home. Moreover, they exude a vibrant and appealing culture of their own, and their happiness is truly evident in their service." I've visited this place on multiple occasions, and every time has been consistently excellent. I highly recommend it, and it feels like a hidden gem! Whether you choose to sit at the bar, at the front of the restaurant, or in the more rustic and quieter back area, the setting is absolutely stunning. On clear nights, you even get a beautiful view of the Sky Tower. Awesome place for a casual night out or romantic first date

Lovely little spot with three intimate dining / drinking areas. The food was delicious and service pleasant. We had a set menu and sat upstairs as a larger group- and it was a great experience. It was hot upstairs, even when we opened the window, and the wait staff struggled to get between the large tables - maybe they should have had a spot for everyone to hang their jackets / bags to make it easier for them to get through? I’m pregnant with some additional dietaries, and they were so great at adapting the set menu to my needs and my food - as well as the group’s - was really yummy. Also some good non-alcoholic mocktails and options, and made me miss enjoying espresso martinis!! Only thing I would say is that for the group, maybe could have packed out the main meal a bit more / provided one more shared plate for the table. Certainly wasn’t left hungry, but absolutely everything was cleaned up! All in all, def recommend checking it out!
