Visited for Valentine’s Day and had an amazing experience! From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional- friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious, with beautifully presented dishes that showcased great attention to detail. The restaurant’s interior is stunning, transforming an old warehouse or boat house into an elegant space with tasteful nautical elements with the view of docked boats and the seaside. I couldn’t fault a thing! While the prices are on the higher side, they are well worth it for the quality and experience.

Lovely, high end seafood restaurant with comfortable bar and nice view of the waterfront. Really good food and pleasant and responsive staff.

We had the bruleed figs with walnuts and blue cheese. The figs were perfectly ripe, caramelized by the heat, and were perfectly balanced by the bitter rocket greens and the creamy funk of the local blue.

The seafood risotto had lovely seared scallops, snapper and other Autumn fish, and was made with a pumpkin base. Just a little sweetness tied with shaved, well aged, nutty Parmesan.

The shaved pears were sweet contrast to the Rockette greens and grated blanket of Manchango. All lightly dressed by an aged balsamic dressing.

The staff was attentive enough and friendly.

Really nice  place for food and a wine after work.
Food is excellent, well cooked and the flavours of the different dishes are very good.  The chocolate dessert is excellent as can be seen from my photos . A fine dining experience from a food and wine perspective.  The atmosphere isn't romantic however it's still very nice.

Sunday lunch, and it doesn't get any better in Wellington. We sat outside for a sharpener before being seated, very well looked after by Kenzie. Food was awesome, service exceptional, and the setting is great. Go!
