    beer sampling
    Edward W.

    We dropped by around 7:30pm and the place wasn't too packed. Our group of 4 started off by sharing the Monteith's crushed apple cider, which tasted crisp and refreshing. Then, we put in an order for the seafood platter, the ribs, fries, fried chicken wings and drumsticks platter, and the esquites, sweetcorn, coriander, chipotle, warm tortillas. While we were waiting for the food to come out, we decided to split a beer flight. The waiter was kind enough to let us replace one of the beers for the cider since we loved the cider so much! The food took almost an hour to arrive, which makes me suspect they must have forgotten our order for awhile. We devoured all our food since we were starving from our day long hike. We really loved the seafood platter and the ribs platter, but the corn tortilla dish we could have skipped. We ordered the flourless chocolate cake for dessert, but it was a complete miss. The texture was too dry and tough and none of us liked it.

    As the name suggest I think the food was good but its was plateau-ed a bit . Positives :- Glad to find a fine dining place Fish of the day : snapper with lemon n butter sauce with potatoes n some veggies . It was nice dish , fish had a nice sear , loved the sauce with champagne. Negatives :- Lamb : it was totally missing any type of seasoning . It came with polenta side , which I personally think didn't go with protein at all , lamb in itself was perfectly cooked but dish as overall was boring Ambience was nice , service was great and wine was amazing but half of the ppl were happy on table while other half disappointed , also limited to zero options for my vegetarian friends .

    Outstanding meal. Smaller but satisfying portions which were deliciously plated and incorporated wonderful flavors. We left extremely impressed

    Wow so good

    Totally impressed. Nice atmosphere, great service, great selection on the menu. Everything cooked perfectly with quality ingredients well matched. Wasn't going to do dessert but in the end we did - so glad as they were the best desserts we have had for a long time!

    Good seafood platter with beer sample to start the dinner. Lamb loin had good quality meat but I wasn't a fan of the sauce. Overall pretty solid place. Seems to be a very busy place for locals and needs reservation.

    Fish of the day.

    Food is exceptionally good. Beautifully presented and delicious. Thank you for a wonderful service!

    Fresh and delicious.

The bottles are reasonable but the merch is expensive (more than any brewery I've been to). $30.00 NZD for a growler! Insane. They also do beer tours ($30.00 NZD including tasting rack otherwise it's $10.00 NZD). The upstairs is called Bier Kafe. They had a few specials ($14.00 to 25.00 NZD). The regular menu is pretty pricey. Apparently, they are "world famous" for their pretzels and woodfired pizzas. At the bar, there were 14 flavours on tap (except they were sold out of their smokey ginger beer). The pear cider sounded pretty good. Tasting rack (four 200mL glasses) costs $20.00 NZD so we opted for a few bottles to take home instead. Some of their desserts also looked interesting. Dark moist chocolate beer cake ($9.00 NZD) or apple cider strudel ($10.00 NZD) anyone? - Lure cider ($4.50 NZD) - Granny Smith with hints of pineapple. - Smokey ginger beer ($3.00 NZD) - non-alcoholic made with Pohutakawa & Cherrywood smoked ginger, honey, fresh lemons and Lake Taupo glacial mineral water. You can taste the smokiness. Pretty decent!

Rounding the bend we approached this quaint little, dark wooded cottage with string lights on the patio. While there were few cars in the lot, we ventured in because the take out menu sounded awesome. It was definitely quiet inside with a few patrons at the bar, leaving us the dining room to ourselves. Well, us and our very talkative server. The Hubster had the steak special, which he claimed to be very good, especially for the price. Me, I went with the Ploughmans burger because very few places in the states use beets as a burger topping. I had to see what all the fuss was about. It did not disappoint. The burger was perfectly cooked and the beets added a great flavor. All in all, if I were back in Taupo, I'd go again and again. PS kudos for being close enough to our hotel so I could utilize the wifi to check in on yelp. I'm loving the New Zealand badge!
