Stumbling across this empty corner bar, thinking they are bound to be finished for lunch.......thank god no. The glow from the fire was as welcoming as the greeting from the marvellous wait staff. Craft beers on tap, knowledge about the vast wines and a menu that can suit all tastes. We felt we could not put a fork wrong as we tasted our way through dish after dish of magic. Even a midway trip to the bathroom left us wondering why our supposedly 5 star hotel was not as well equipped. I even stopped during the 3rd round of tapas to write this its that good. While we were glad we were the only ones here we could not help but feel some sort of obligation to let everyone know how good it was. The tip we should have given Logan Brown last night (see last review) will be doubling the one we give here.

The atmosphere is well decorated, has booths and tables and a central bar. We went during the lunch hour and were seated and served quickly. They also have free wifi which is nice if you're traveling. Gluten free menu is great with tons of options which are easily labeled for simple menu navigation. They have a great lunch menu deal for 25 new zealand dollars. It includes either coconut or jasmine rice (I had jasmine) a glass of wine or beer, and two of the dishes on the menu. I had the orange and pistachio salad and the beef satay with peanut sauce. Both were excellent. The orange and pistachio salad was really interesting and fresh with tons of herbs. My friend really liked what he ordered as well. Food was affordable and service was good. If you're gluten free and in the Wellington area I definitely recommend giving this place a try.

Cooked to order, I had high expectations not knowing what "Kumara Fries" are. And now I know - they're basically what we Americans call "sweet potato fries." Not bad at all, they were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Just the right amount of salt and served with a small pot of "aioli". The restaurant is clean and busy. The guy who took my order was friendly. [Review 346 of 2024 - 5 in New Zealand - 21379 overall]
