Main course was the market fish, a bl we fin tuna variant on a wonderful green sauce that's apparently a local delicacy, although we passed on the beef lardons that normally go with it. Even without the lardons, it was fantastic For desert, they named to Manchester a vegan chocolate cheesecake option. That, and a couple of glasses of port, rounded off the evening nicely

When I asked what she recommended, she said that the Aglio and the Te Ika Mata are great paired together - so that what we went for. The Aglio is Confit garlic, Rosemary salt and Truffle Mascarpone. The Te Ika Mata is raw market fish (cod today), coconut, coriander, chili and lime. The Aglio was warm and fresh and the the confit garlic had a great flavor without being overpowering and was very good. The Te Ika Mata had a wonderful flavor - a hint of lime mixed with the coriander (cilantro for those from the U.S. in a liquid with subtle coconut flavor. The flavors worked so well together - I was very pleasantly surprised and our server was right - the two (Aglio and Te Ika Mata) worked very well together. It was light yet satisfying and I would absolutely order it again!

Prawn skewers were good too. Steak was tender and tasty. Burger was very good. Side salad nice with a light dressing. Strangely the restaurant policy is no substitution of salad or onion rings for fries. Non negotiable. Locked in to their computer system. Silly business decision from management to choose not to accommodate the paying customer. I guess they have never heard of up-charging for a more expensive side.

After sitting down, the cocktail server informed us we couldn't get food at the high tops so she took our order and moved us. She said she would transfer our table but no one came by to greet us. Throughout our entire meal no one checked on us. We never received waters. They asked everyone around us if they were doing well, but avoided our table. The food itself was mediocre at best. I had the fish and chips, which had a nice texture but lacked flavor and my partner had the pulled chicken open sandwich which he said was good but had giant spoon fills of aioli. The only positive experience was the deck view, which overlooked the other islands.

We didn't go during discounted times. It was busy and we had pork belly which was really well cooked but deathly sweet from the fig, plum and apple. The fish and chips are cooked to perfection but let's face it, fish and chips should be perfect at $26 :). The steak was outstanding, perfectly seasoned and cooked with great accompaniments. I've just looked over their Christmas menu which I think looks great but my dining companion wouldn't find appealing.

The price, however, at $72 was a lot higher than I thought it should have been. Maybe influenced by the tourist market but a bit excessive.
