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!

Every single time I've visited or driven past the place is going off. And i'm not surprised. The food is great and the ambience is even better. Most recently cam here with a group of friends while we were staying at my bach just down the road. We couldn't be bothered cooking, and any excuse to come here I can find, I take. As was expected, there was a wait for a table, but we didn't mind. They have awesome little bar area down the back, and plenty of seating so we just got a few drinks and some garlic pita bread to keep us going till our table was ready. The bar guy was super cool and we ended up having a really good chat. It wasn't long until our table was ready. There is plenty of seating both inside the main restaurant and in a little courtyard thing to the side. It is covered so even if it's raining, the wait for a table isn't too long. The pizzas are so good. They really pack on the ingredients and they are really flavoursome. There are other things on the menu but I have only eaten the pizzas, so I can't speak for those. Great service and a really fun vibe. If you're in the area DEFINITELY pop in.

We waited over 15 minutes for 4 beers to be poured! Good thing we weren't hungry or we might've starved to death. Seems like there were plenty of customers, so maybe the food was known to be good, but I was too hungry to wait and find out. GET MORE STAFF, FOLKS! There was no food coming out of the kitchen, and there were two cooks back there. The girl behind the front counter was greeting customers, taking payments, making coffee, pouring beer, writing down orders, bussing tables, and answering the phone. Seems a little unbalanced. I wanted to jump in and give her a hand , poor thing! I hope I can give them another chance someday...
