And wow, what a cozy ambiance and darling spot that fits the small town vibe perfectly. The interior decoration matches the charm of the building's exterior perfectly - moody, cozy, vintage and intellectual. I love all of the nods to the town's history and New Zealand with the artwork and decor. Because we were outside of typical lunch hours and had just eaten, we didn't have much of an appetite and just split the BBQ brisket sandwich. Fare and prices are a bit on the higher end because it's an elevated gastropub, so note that when visiting. We liked but didn't love the sandwich - good enough for a quick pit stop! Service was friendly but we got the sense that splitting a meal was a bit frowned upon. Nonetheless, a cozy spot to get out of the rain with darling decor and exterior patio seating when not wet!

My wife and I visited with our 7 year old daughter and we both did a tasting menu and our daughter ordered a la carte.

By the time we left we felt like we were family. Now on to the food. We had venison, lamb, seafood pasta, and a wonderful dessert prepared table side. Each entry was better than the last and prepared on point with quality ingredients and wonderful presentation. Each plate we tried was an experience and the quaint ambiance added to the experience.

From the bars to the hamburgers, Fan-tan tries to take Asian food and put a modern spin on things and they mostly succeed. We started with the oysters on a half shell. We love New Zealand oysters and these were no exception. In this case though the addition of cilantro and other spices did seem to take away from the natural flavor. Sometimes simple things are best left alone. The tempura mussels with hot Chile peppers came off better. The kick really went well with the rich flavor of the green mussels. The crunch was a bit big and nice. Overall this is a nice spot but if you really love Asian cuisine just be aware it is fusion and be ready for some interesting takes on tradition dishes.
