There is also an Italian gelato shop just across the street if the desserts at Alpino don't suit you. Overall, really good and highly recommend for anyone in the area!

Craft is a new restaurant on Hood Street, recently opened in the last few months by the same folks…read morethat brought us Gothenberg. It's actually located in the old Gothenberg spot on Hood Street. When you walk in, you notice the same sense of style and aethetics that make Gothenberg so pleasant and enjoyable. Craft specializes in pizzas, sliders and beer. Now, the sign out front does actually say that, but if you are looking for something OTHER than those things, then move on. The menu is somewhat limited in that respect. However, in terms of the variety and quality of the pizza and sliders, you won't be left wanting. I came here without the kiddos and with my husband and in-laws, who were visiting from the States. My husband was very happy with the beer selection (I was the driver none for me that night). Though the food is pizza and burgers, you definitely are getting the upper-end version of these items (not typical pub-type fare). The flavor palate is interesting and tasty (and if you ever had the sliders at Gothenburg, you'd have a sense of what is on offer at Craft). The servers were great and friendly. It's wasn't too busy, but it was a Wednesday night. They have some lounge type indoor seating, and some "social" types of seating (e.g. long, high top tables, a high-top counter along the wall) and may well get crowded on a busier night. They have also maintained some of the outdoor seating that was there from Gothenburg as well. All in all, I'll be back again on a future date night. They might be perfectly happy to have your children there, but I don't intend to find out :)

I have been to this location several times over the last 6 years. Both the service and the food are…read moreusually very good but recently we have noticed considerable deterioration in the service that the staff provide. It is unclear to me what is going on here, since the location is not under new management. When we last went to JG, the food took over 45 minutes to get to the table despite that it wasn't busy. We also noticed one jr member of the cooking staff handle cooked bacon and other food items with his bare hands after handling raw foods. We alerted the staff to this as it is unsanitary. Second the shift manager took a 15min smoke break even as some customers berated other staff. While I understand the need for a break on shift, I think it is incumbent upon the manager to step up and lead the staff during what was a very difficult time. When I return to this location, I will update my negative review if the situation has improved.

Our pepperoni pizza was good also, no one can mess that up, even with the wait time. Our server was attentive, he took good care of us. Our orders came after 40 minutes, can't complain about that since it was a busy night. Overall, we were happy with everything except for the extra wait time because they forgot to make our pizza. Ambiance was cozy- it was family friendly. We will definitely go back when we visit New Zealand again.

There are a lot of things I really like about The Wayward Pigeon. First, since it is not in the CBD, parking is generally easy, plentiful and free. There is a good amount of indoor and outdoor spaces, table service and bar areas. On my most recent visit (last night), I had the Bang Bang Chicken Salad, which was delicious. A nice combination of crunchy and a kick of heat that built over the time I ate it. I also had kombucha to drink, though there is a very good assortment of beers and wines available. My husband had the pork scotch, which had a good flavour, but was perhaps a bit over done. Other people in our party had the fried chicken pieces and pizzas. Everyone seemed to agree that their food was pretty good. There is a great place to meet up with a group, large or small. The atmosphere is a sort of retro casual, the colour palette reminds me of the 70's. Call head for reservations - we called on the Friday for Friday night and they were fully booked indoors. We still ended up with a great outdoor space under the heaters. Will definitely return.
