We were here on a cold rainy day, and my other half was in need of some hot cocoa. The restaurant was mostly empty at that time of the day, but the staff were happy to make us hot drinks while we enjoyed the climate controlled dining room and beautiful view outside. Their menu looked good, but we weren't here to eat. The restrooms were very clean. This is definitely a place for travelers as you can't drive farther south than Bluff. It's worth a stop!

But we arrived on a wonderfully sunny fall day and were eager to try the local seafood. The wine list is short but good and the Two Paddocks Pinot Noir was great and well priced. This place was crowded with locals on a weekday so be sure to get in early. The service was prompt and friendly. And it was nice to be in small town New Zealand. The local Bloysters are large and meaty. They are not the sort that you want without some lemon. But with some fresh lemon and their mignonette they were very tasty. We then had the green lip mussels which were perfectly tender (not rubbery from overlooking. Yuck). The coconut cream was delicious. And was great with the bread. Really great. The Stewart island salmon was perfectly cooked and was so rich and delicious with a great sauce on top. The black rice underneath was great as was the tomato and fresh zucchini. It's not as big a flavor as the King Salmon from Alaska but a more delicate flavor. Overall a great place if you are down here enjoying Stewart island

We were however in an out of the way spot. That aside the food was excellent and we ordered across the range, salad, fish and Wellington! Everyone enjoyed their meal. The live music was a little loud to talk work in such a small location, however that is hardly the most important factor in visiting an Irish Pub.

Seeing the food arrive on other tables appear very generous we skipped any further starters in favour of mains; most of us had one or other of the steak dishes though a couple chose the fish of the day. Everyone's steak arrived how they ordered it from rare to well done, which is impressive with so many orders; the food was excellent and the sides generous. The recommended wine matched perfectly of course it was from NZ and whilst we were the last to leave we never felt rushed - which is always a sign of a good business.
