Had a business lunch with a colleague on a Monday which, understandably, is not their busiest day. I chose a dish described as beef & mushroom hotpot, which was a stew served in a vol-a-vent. Not the greatest stew, I didn’t think. The steak was diced very small and was quite hard and tough. The creamy potatoes, carrots and broccoli were fine but the vol-a-vent was drowned by the stew and consequently very soggy. My colleague opted for blue cod & chips and said he enjoyed it although a bit on the scimpy side. The waiter was pleasant enough and the service was prompt.

Visited lunchtime today for their $12.50 Roast of the Day. Very well and originally presented, but actual quality disappointed me. The beef was stringy and tough, and parsnip (IS that what it was?) was wizened and tough like old boots. On the plus side I guess the carrots were cut in a cute way I’ve never seen, and the kumara and potato were ok!

I have been a regular here for the last 4 years or so. Recently since the menu and kitchen have been reworked I have been severely disappointed. The food has changed for the worse. I always get the chicken enchiladas with a variation to my liking. The new waitresses since the changes for the last 4 times I have visited have questioned my changes. It had never been a problem before! The salad that accompanies the meals has also changed. It used to be an enjoyable salad with a lovely dressing. Now it is a salad that does not suit everyone’s tastes especially mine. The waitresses are also rude especially when they say my changes will incur extra charges every time I visit even though I am a regular and I know of the surcharges.

Overall the last 4 times I have eaten there since the kitchen and staff changes have been unsatisfactory and I have since stopped eating there. Disappointing as the chicken enchiladas used to be my favourite.

Have never been disappointed here. Excellent food, service and ambience make it the place we’re most likely to frequent for special or casual dining out!

Great food, friendly staff and lots of choice on the menu. I’m a regular!

Food and service is always of a very high standard. Very family friendly and large portions mean pretty good value for money. Happy to tweak dishes to suit dietary requirements without any fuss.

The food here is delicious and is consistently great. Prices are not steep for such a huge portion and the waitresses are friendly and helpful.
I dined there last night in a group of 10 and all the mains came out together, there wasn’t a long wait like you can sometimes get as a larger group.
Well done Nellies

Great meal, fast service, food was awesooome!!!.
