The food was delicious and very unique - we haven’t had anything like it in Wellington before. The dining area was a bit cold, so that would be my only suggestion to fix.

Food & service were great & it was lovely & clean, but (we guess due to the fact that it is a sports venue) the tables & surroundings were a bit ho hum.

Enjoyed the difference. atmosphere was great, wasn’t rushed . Spotless clean premises. Food was great . Had Starters a main and dessert. Salad with pork belly .. great and the starter, salted fish fitters. Dessert chocolate chilli cake topped off a lovely experience. … and if you like reggae music perfect… music complimented the food.

We went for the Christmas menu and the lamb shanks were excellent. Highly recommend the place to eat, reasonable price and the owners were very accommodating and helpful. Would be great if the lamb shanks can become part of their normal menu.

The setting in a sports club dictates the ambience, so there is little that can be done to change that; the bright white flourescent overhead lighting is permanent. But it was a good feeling to know our dining experience may have contributed in some way to the club rooms, as well as providing income to the fine family who cooked and served. The rooms were immaculate, and obviously brand new. The social distancing of the tables and mask wearing of staff made us feel safe from exposure to Covid.

We loved the relaxed atmosphere and the mains were delicious. The chilli chocolate cake was.. ok, a bit so so, could have done with more icing, but the ice cream was great.

Hi The noise next door was a bit loud but that's just bad luck and a rowdy crowd. One of the girls doing the service was not interested or engaging. Food was fantastic and we will certainly be back.
