The best…read morerestaurant in Dunedin if you ask me, it is hard to find a place that is consistently producing great meals every time you eat there. It has a warm, cozy feeling in this beautifully restored heritage building. I highly recommend making a trip out to Port Chalmers and stopping in for lunch or dinner, a few drinks at The Portsider, I promise you won't regret it!!!

Wish that I had enough energy at that time to go back out and dance the night away. However I was fighting a cold during that time.

I had the chicken parcel, which was chicken breasts in phylo dough with bacon, soft cheese and almonds, plus a salad and crispy potatoes - delicious - and so large that the leftovers made a super lunch the next day. My wife had a chowder that she really liked too. Service was so-so as our waitresss seemed very busy and it took a while to get our bill, but the ambiance is excellent, with lots of historical items and a really fun vibe. Definitely worth having dinner here if you can!

Quality/Quantity - Wished I discovered this place sooner;…read moreit would have been nice to have taken the brewery tour. We got here too late and only had enough time to get a flight. Later we discovered their beers at all the local supermarkets. She told me that the flights of 8 were NOT that much beer. That they were only about 3 ounces each. Well (see picture) they were about 5 ounces each... The fight hit the spot, I was just glad I did not have to walk too far to get back to the cruise ship... Atmosphere - Huge brewery. Restaurant, bar/brewery, etc. Interesting decor throughout. Booth, table, bar, etc seating. Seating upstairs or downstairs, etc. Brewery tours 7 days a week from 10am to 5pm. Service - Good, counter service. Price - $22 NZ; $13.50 US. Inexpensive for what I got, I am surprised I finished... Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1999 (1876 brewery). I will be sure to take the brewery tour next time I am here and might even try your food. Well, I can just do your brewery lunch or dinner tasting tour!

We showed up without calling for a reservation -- something we recommend others do -- since there were no indoor tables available for dinner when we got there (on a week night). We were able to find an open outdoor table, and they provided blankets to use, as it can get chilly by the water. We ordered a couple beers while waiting for our food (a milk stout and a Hefeweizen). At this point it started to sprinkle just as our food came out. Fortunately, we were quickly moved to an inside table (another party had finished their meal and the table was available). Not only was the staff great, the food was also excellent. We ordered the seafood bowl (a big bowl of steamed scallops, clams, mussels, green lipped mussels, and white fish in a garlic-coriander-butter broth), the Thai curry seafood bowl (the same steamed fish but in a creamy red Thai sauce, served over rice), and a plate of loaded wedges (a staple menu item across all of New Zealand). The seafood portions were huge -- we probably could have split one between the two of us. And the seafood was excellent! Some of the best I've had in recent memory. In all this little gem turned out to be the perfect spot to take a chance on. And the secret must be out because it's a popular place worth hopping into for dinner or drinks.

The decor is historic and quaint. The food is great, worth paying for fresh seafood. The Poisson cru is a great take on cerviche with an Asian spin.

We ordered 5 different dishes and shared. Everyone was happy on all counts. I was given a menu handout that I will try to attach. It is not quite the same as the "working menu", but it will give an idea of the variety of food and the prices to be expected. Rating this as a "Chinese restaurant in Oamaru", I will stay with 4 stars. Otherwise, I'd give it 3.
