We dropped in on an early Monday evening (just before 6:00pm) to take advantage of happy hour. The place is beautiful with a few tables outside to people watch and enjoy the lake view. Otherwise, there's tons of seating inside with hipster light bulbs, a fireplace and old vintage equipment as decor. The dinner menu is split into share plates, mains, sides and kids. The pasta of the day was a seafood linguini ($25.00 NZD). We saw a few mains come out to neighbouring tables that looked appetizing. Same with the coffee, which most tables ordered. There's also a separate dessert menu. The Alchemy dessert platter ($18.00 NZD) sounded promising. Nice touch with the complimentary sparkling and tap water. Only lame thing here is that wifi stops working at 6:00pm. Er... - Crater Rim Waipara riesling ($7.00 NZD) - sweet but not overly so. It's regular $11.00 NZD for a glass. - Soljan Estate Reserve Hawkes Bay syrah ($7.00 NZD) - a little drier finish. Decent. We only came for drinks but the food looked pretty legit. Chill, relaxed vibe.

We were really happy to find Little Blackwood which had an absolutely wonderful meat and cheese board which featured some excellent local selections! The accompaniments were excellent as well; the honeycomb (also locally sourced) was delicious, and the sundried tomato spread was excellent! Olives, grapes and hummus along with a plentiful supply of crackers rounded out an excellent meal! The 3 meats and 3 cheeses was perfect for the three of us. We enjoyed some local beer and great cocktails as well! We also ordered the grouper sliders as we continued to sip our cocktails, and those were excellent as well. Service was wonderful! Everyone was friendly, and the bartender and servers all knew the menus well and gave us great recommendations. The music was just getting started as we were heading out, but sounded quite promising. I'm thinking this would also be a great place to just listen to music with a cocktail after dinner elsewhere!
