My family and i arrived at 7.30pm for a dinner booking. We didn’t get our food until 1.5hrs-2hrs later. This included the water that we had asked for more than once. It wasn’t full or particularly busy that night but the service was shocking. When our orders finally came, so many of the meals were incorrect or cold. No one came back to ask if everything was fine, no one offered compliments for the very slow service apart from some friendly waiters and waitress. They apologised and blamed the back kitchen for the delay. It seemed there was no manager in sight. And to top it all off, our share of the meals came to $103 which we felt was definitely not worth that at all. We will never return to this place and I will make sure to let others know not to bother either. Very very disappointing and such a waste of money and time. Side note, the toilets smell gross and there were human waste all over the floor as well as a toilet bowl that was overflowing.

Very unhappy with quality of meal, my wife’s warm chicken salad arrived without the crispy noodles or bacon & with a meagre portion of dry chicken. I then received my gurnard pan fried fish, 1 very small fillet submerged in a creamy thin tomato sauce with 4 small prawns & a minuscule portion of salsa & chips but no salad? Wait staff were great & retrieved what we hadn’t received & offered complimentary drinks. The worst fish meal I have ever been served up. Food: 1 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 2

Would not recommend under any circumstances. First off, the toilets were disgusting. Faeces smeared over 2 of the 3 toilet seats at 7.30pm on a Tuesday. We arrived at 7.30pm and ordered drinks. First, no drinks menu at all, reason was "not printed yet". The Fairweathers Chicken Stack was also unavailable. We waited half an hour for 2 Lemon, Lime and Bitters and a couple of kids drinks. At 8:30pm (after table 9 had walked out because they were waiting over an hour) I asked how long the food would be. I was told another 15 minutes (more like double it by the time it arrived). The kids meals then arrived all had salads missing (one meal was wrong altogether) and the kids Crispy Crumbed Chicken Fingers were actually frozen (assuming) chicken nuggets. After I inquired, we were given 2 kids salads (even though we had 3 kids meals ordered). I had given up at this point and didn't ask for an additional salad. Our food arrived at 8:55pm. Half of the food on the table was stone cold. Another kids meal was bought out which was not ordered and returned. When asked if there was anything else, we were missing a couple of shared fries which were eventually bought out. Throughout the hour and a half while we were waiting, not one person approached us asking if we would like some starters or more drinks. The only time we got drinks was when we finally managed to get a staff member's attention for some water. The staff did apologise for the delay and their reason was that "it's been happening all night". From prior reviews, it sounds like "all night" is more like "the last 2 months". A table of 10 people spending over $400 and we weren't even offered complimentary starters or drinks. I will not be back. Meal type Dinner Price per person $100+ Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

Great place to chill and dine in. I ordered mixed grill which was not bad but i was a bit slightly disappointed that they did not offer any sauce to the grill. Just plain grill meat with basic seasoning. The other that i ordered which shared with my friend were seafood chowder with garlic bread and ribeye steak with mushroom sauce. Now both of those were way delicious than the mixed grill and the garlic bread really was surprisingly good. That is my recommendation, garlic bread and the ribeye steak.

This is one of the few places that has a full menu all day. We had a late lunch and couldn't find anyone serving food. Their food was excellent. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We tried the mocacchino and It was really nice for the price (Just $4.70) but the second time we went, they served it in a recyclable cup like if it was for a takeaway (not so nice). Another day we tried the fries, fish and other stuff plate for share (it says for 4 people but is ok for 2) and it was really good.

Great place for early afternoon 'Happy Hour' from 3-5 pm. And on Wednesday evening grab a steak, salad, fries and a pint for $20, bonza! Fabulous friendly staff. If we ever get back down to Blenheim? We'll be in. And Warren great to meet you. Well done Team NZ.
