We arrived pretty late after a long drive and were excited to find it open and able to promptly seat us. The inside is pretty small and intimate and has romantic lighting and a cozy collection of tables and chairs. The turquoise statement walls bring in a subtle ocean theme along with the giant picture of an angler fish on the wall..that's one intimidating fish face! Our server was very friendly and helpful at pointing out the gluten free options on their menu. I had the pasta marinara with seafood which came out beautifully plated and tasted delicious. The husband enjoyed a nice crispy beer battered snapper and fries. We'd heard they have a great dessert menu but were honestly too full to try anything. Delicious eats and a fun relaxing vibe to the atmosphere!

But after looking at the menu, we were convinced it would be delicious. We sat and ordered a bottle of wine, the muscles in butter wine sauce and the seafood chowder!

But if I were to go back, I'd ordered the mussels first. Staff was great and the location was perfect!

We really enjoyed the food; I was surprised the restaurant was not busier on a Sunday afternoon. Food: We enjoyed all the dishes we ordered -Five Spice Roasted Pork Bao, Honey BBQ Chicken Bao, Vegetarian Spring Rolls, Chicken and Mango Salad Service: The employees were friendly but not very attentive. Although the restaurant was not very busy, they did not check on us at all and never refilled the water glasses. Ambiance: Casual, bright space.

We had plans to walk up the whole main ave to check the town out on our first night, but Bamboo looked so much fun that we stopped immediately. Service was super friendly. We had a great server named Maria who chatted with us and gave us tips on the town. She also gave more service than were used to receiving in New Zealand, checking to see if we liked our food after we ordered and making sure we were good. The food was mostly a hit too. We loved the Korean fried chicken wings, and both Bao that we tried. The Bao is only served by the each, but each one is HUGE. Not like the typical small Bao we're used to getting in orders of 3 small sandwiches. The only miss was the Detox Turmeric Soup. The noodles and dumplings were good, but the broth had no flavor. It definitely was missing salt, and some kind of fat. I added a bunch of hot sauce and soy sauce to mine to make it a little more flavorful. Fortunately, everything else was so yummy that I would easily come back and try something else! We saw so many other delicious plates go out and wanted to try everything. The cocktail and wine list was good too. This is a great, hip place that would be perfect for a get together at night with your best mates, cocktails, and bites.

Totally cool interior design, worth a visit if you just want to go for one beer or possibly coffee. They have a variety of Mac's for beers (good beer), Stella Artois, Speights and more. I didn't order much, but a beer is 8,50 $ at this place wich seems quite normal, but still. Jam night was Thursday and it was a lot of fun and there were a couple of regulars that started playing with us newbs and I held a mean beat on the drums. Cool and different instruments, totally fun to try! My visit was during winter season in May so it wasn't very busy, but stills lot of people showed up after a while. Closes at one I think. Totally awesome girl in the bar! No music other than us though, kind of sad.

Very impressed by the decor, for a start. Fabulous furniture and colour scheme which I totally loved. There were a bunch of vegan items on the menu. We had the lentil croquettes, the bruschetta and the Inca salad. The croquettes and the bruschetta were very tasty and went down a treat, but we weren't too impressed by the Inca salad, finding it a little tart. The vegan chia and coconut dessert more than made up for it though. It was delicious, if a little pricey. Service was friendly and helpful. Toilets were clean. Decor was fabulous. All in all a great spot and I'd definitely go back.

They also held my son's birthday cake in the back and brought it out as a surprise. I definitely would go back. Too bad we live in the US. My NZ family will be going back for more delicious food!
