Enjoyed a lovely pre-xmas diner treat here last week, the service was impeccable and could not be faulted, the bread and tomato mousse was exceptional. Our mains were very good, the steak got a glowing review very very tender and cooked to perfection. The flounder was also cooked just right, the butter sauce on top was a little salty for my taste and my prawns seemed slightly overcooked, but this did not detract from the delightful flounder. The Malibu sorbet that was part of the desert was simply devine and we could have eaten just a plate of that.

An awesome 5 star dining experience!..For our 5th wedding anniversary I decided to take my wife out to Fish. Saw their impressive online menu and was already sold to it. We arrived at 9pm and were kindly greeted at the door. Walked up the staircase and into the restaurant, The atmosphere and ambiance inside and around was just amazing a total WOW factor, with a mixture of contemporary lighting with a touch of blue fluorescent lighting under table in the front really got our eye. We were greeted and taken to our table facing the ocean. A friendly gentleman introduced himself and gave us a run down on the menu for the night and also suggested some of them to us. He also asked if it was any special occasion for our dining. To begin we ordered some bread for a start. My wife ordered Tempura Prawns and I ordered Snapper Soup with crab dumplings, both absolutely made to perfection, we had two waitresses bring in our order. The Snapper soup was brought in two dishes and mixed at our table by the adding the sauce to the dish, I found this very appealing as it had a class of its own. A bottle of fine white wine was a definite choice to compliment our meal. Table was cleared and cleaned once we finished our entree’s. All new cutlery arrived for our main meal in a very timely manner. For our mains I ordered the Pan roasted hapuka with capers / parsley / potatoes / vermouth and my wife ordered Red king crab with linguine / chilli / parsley. The favours were absolutely mouth watering, The Hapuka was beautifully garnished …a definite must try menu. Our serving waiter was very attentive and made us as comfortable as possible. All the staff were very friendly as well, always smiled whenever they went past. There was also a small Indian wedding reception happening on the far end of the restaurant. There was soft Indian classical music being played from time to time. I managed to pickup a few lines for my wife to it make it special for her lol. For our dessert we had Hot chocolate fondant with aged rum and raisin ice-cream. This also was truly delicious all over and had a mixture of both hot and cold on one plate. We finished our dessert, ordered the bill and were just about to leave the table when the chef gave us a little surprise for our Wedding anniversary. He brought was a nice rectangular White plate and Happy Wedding Anniversary written with chocolate all over, a candle in the middle and on the side had two little round pieces of chocolate balls mixed with wafer and apricot, garnished with coconut……this made us feel soooo special. Overall does come with a price tag. Bill came to $174.00, but worth every bit of it. We left the restaurant with some great memories and hope to return back for another great experience very soon.

“FISH” is the new “White”, having enjoyed a perfectly cooked lunch this week its so much much more than a name change. The upgrade comes courtesy of the team behind Euro, Shed 5 and JSH…. so with this knowledge our expectations were piqued with anticipation. To begin we were seated in the outside dining balcony with the most perfect harbour view. Sun shining almost as much as the smile and helpful professionalism of the young lady looking after us, service was much better than good, timing, helpfulness, anticipating our needs were all spot on. The menu is very much in the smart dining category with a thoughtful menu displaying no shortage of dish variation or kitchen skill. There is creativity and passion at work here,in both food and service. With food in mind the real test was if it tasted as good as it read or if there were one or two culinary tricks too many? Dining with two friends we enjoyed different dishes which did provide us with much enjoyment as well as small tastings from each others plates. Inevitably with any menu there are dishes a person likes and enjoys more than another – that’s personal taste. What I can say is the taste and quality of the cooking is at a very high level, hugely enjoyable and with more than a little theatre thrown in – There is a chocolate dessert which you simply have to order, its prepared at your table and your in for a hugely enjoyable surprise!
