It took longer than I expected, but it was well worth the wait. I received the most beautifully fresh, attractive and delicious dish ever.

On a second quick visit, I got a Garden Salad to take away - it was beautifully fresh, once again. Delicious - thank you.

Nowadays, whether slow or busy, it's always a good place to grab that perfect lunchtime sandwich!

When checking out the menu I ordered the green smoothie and the French toast. When our food arrived, they actually brought out a different dish however I told them I ordered the French toast they were extremely apologetic.

We went up the pay and the man apologized again and removed my Smoothie from the bill. Highly recommend! Sweet people and friendly atmosphere.

It is great for a nice dinner to sit down and enjoy a meal. We ordered quite a few appetizers and entrees to share as this was our last night here. We started with some raw oysters, smoke fish croquette ($9.50 each), focaccia bread ($9) with artichoke dip ($12), seafood chowder ($30), and the beef tartare ($28). Our favorites were probably the oysters and the focaccia bread with the spread. The oysters were fresh and we enjoyed trying them all. The focaccia bread went great with the spread as the bread was warm and the spinach dip was a nice cool dip to match. The bread was also perfect to dip in the chowder. For the entrees, we ordered a side of green beans ($14), fettuccine ($27|$37), Lumina Lamb Backstrap ($19 per 100g), and the Japanese wagyu ($85 per 100g). Our favorite out of everything was the wagyu. The lamb was delicious but it's not comparison after you have a bite of the wagyu. The Wagyu was cooked perfectly. The meat was not too thick of a piece to cut. The green beans were a great side to go along with the meal. The almonds added a nice crunch to the green beans. Overall, we enjoyed our meal very much. We felt that this restaurant was a perfect way to end our stay in Wellington!

Today, I had a fantastic smoked fish sandwich, with a fresh slaw. My wife's salad was great. And, the side salad of broccoli, almond and feta was perfectly cooked and prepared. My wife often says that the sign of a good restaurant is how well it does vegetables. These were perfect. Try the kombucha to drink. It is a delicious and fruity fermented iced tea. It is homemade here and I am told that it takes days to brew. It is wonderful. So come up the stairs and relax. It is well worth it.

The steak was perfectly cooked and the potatoes and broccoli that came with it were the perfect compliment (I've never had au gratin potatoes like they made it and it was absolutely delicious!) I got a Pinot Gris with my steak while my husband got a beer with his. My kids shared popcorn chicken and small fries (thankful they had Heinz ketchup since my kids do not like Watties or other tomato sauce). Although next time we will probably have to get them the steak since they really love steaks. The customer service was excellent, very friendly and took great care of us. We will definitely return here and highly recommend!

The steak sandwich on ciabatta bread with chunky fried was okay. Another one of us ordered the hash stack and belly pork and black pudding only to find it was chunks of potato scattered over some thinly sliced pork and quite dried pork (that was the belly pork) and a few bits of sausage. Even at the Grabone price that was pretty poor value but for a full menu price of $19 it was shocking. My friend expressed dismay at the dish and to the restaurants's credit they replaced it with the steak sandwich. We also ordered calamari salad which comprised of a few pieces of calamari scattered in a bowl of salad greens. That was a very small portion also. Finally we had their version of the big breakfast with eggs, ciabatta bread, scrambled eggs, sausages, mushrooms (there was one mushroom in the disk), baked beans and tomato. List price for that was $20. Other cafes in town do much better big breakfasts for less. On the whole a very unsatisfactory experience and I will never go back. They need to really review their menu items and the descriptions and employ a more skilled cook/chef.
