Enjoyed a set dinner here recently. The food was great and portions just the right size. Food service struggled to keep up with our very large booking but wait staff were very attentive and pleasant. Waitress Lee deserves a very special shout out as the kitchen was clearly under a lot of pressure. I'll be back, just with a smaller group next time 😊

Absolutely fantastic place to have an early dinner with a custom cocktail - everything tasted absolutely fabulous and the service was also great, would absolutely recommend the Vine Shared Platter for two.

Good service but terrible food. They used to be one of our favorite dining spots in Taupo. Sadly, not anymore.

Excellent food and flavours. Good option for a large group. Wine selection also good. We found the service a little inattentive. It was a Saturday night so maybe too busy, but still could be better. Food was not served together in our group, so some people were eating while others were waiting. Overall a good place to go!

We ate here twice during our stay in Taupō. Delicious, good value for money, good service. Plus they are open in that awkward in between time of the afternoon when daytime places have closed but evening places haven’t.

Such delicious food and a very cool atmosphere. The flounder and beef filet were excellent. Good wines and service. One of our favorite dinners in NZ.

Visited on the weekend (twice) and thoroughly enjoyed it. Especially recommend the tapas. The rocket, pear, Parmesan and balsamic was very,very good. Complemented the lamb cutlets nicely nicely. Thoroughly recommended.
