Ordered pork belly, looks alright, taste is not so alright. Not much taste to it, very plain and will not fill you up.. $42 for this and having to wait for almost an hour for it is disappointing. The steak is supposed to be medium rare, this is just too raw for a medium rare. Overall not very pleasant experience here.

Lovely service, willing to help with slight changes due to allergies. Food was mostly great - my husband is super fussy and said it wasn't perfect. Great cocktails. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $50–60 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Have been to Ussco a couple of times and always enjoyed it. Excellent contemporary cuisine, creative combinations, good vibe and service as well. Worth the money fore sure. I wish someone could play that beautiful grand piano sometimes…. :) Thanks to all the team behind the scenes.
After seeing such good reviews I decided to go to this restaurant for dinner. I was most disappointed. I only ate half of the pork belly meal I chose as it was hardly warm. I then had a chocolate soufflé for dessert. This was also disappointing as the crust was burnt and the soufflé tasteless. The bill for 2 courses was NZD64 which I begrudgingly paid as I don’t like making a fuss. The waitresses were friendly on the other hand.

We have been coming here for years but tonight was extremely disappointing. Waited half n hr to get our drinks, steak was extremely undercooked twice, no complimentary entree, no offer of dessert, no offer of more drinks/water, no asking how everything was. Waitresses stood around ignoring everyone having a chat. It's our family tradition to come each Christmas so hopefully this will help up their game once again Meal type Dinner Price per person $50–60 Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 3

The waiter kicked my chair leg but didn’t say anything. We ordered some main course and the waiting time is an hour. The pork belly is dry, not sure if the chef forgot the sauce. The fish has no flavour. The steak is undercooked. Atmosphere is fine. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 3

Waited almost an hour for our food. The pork belly has NO Sauce when served to us. The steak was asked to be cooked Medium rare but comes out more likely to be Rare. The portion for the mains does not worth $40 or more. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $40–50 Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 5
It would pay to book a table on Thursday to Sunday to guarantee your seat. Menu options was fresh and a good local flair to it. Steak was good and well cooked. Cocktails, beer, wine and spirits available. Service was confident and honest which is good to see.

The atmosphere in the restaurant is very good. There is a beautiful bar that offers a variety of wine cocktails and other beverages. Very suitable place to drink and chat. The meal is delicious!
