The experience during my fathers day lunch was one of satisfaction. Well done.

At last the long awaited "Family" restaurant the area has been screaming out for - high quality food at friendly prices and service to match. A well balanced menu offering a real choice and variety. The wine list is small but elegant offering a range of NZ products along with very well priced Australian wines.

The kitchen is small but this does not detract at all from the production of tasty food in copious plates. It seems that all sauces and dressings are in-house product and certainly taste that way to the palate.

This place was originally "The Boat Shed" and resembles little of its former self since Smithy and Alan got their hands on it a couple months back.

A wonderful alternative to local dining options and highly recommended.   (James Kirk - See my reviews (2) - June, 2009)

What a fantastic experience. New owners have finally done it. Mamoth plates of food. My salad was crisp and fresh and the veges done to perfection. Its been a long while since I have been as satisfied with a meal. My steak was perfectly cooked and tender. Cannot wait to go back again   (May, 2009)

A local resident who has seen this restaurant change hands many times.It makes one wonder why this charming setting is continuously changing owenership. Food is average somewhat oily. Service was good and friendly staff. Would not return in a hurry.   (glen - April, 2009)

Restaurant response - Please visit us again - 10% discount for you when you mention menu log. The menu and the ambiance has changed since you last visited. Thank you   (May, 2009)

Good to see people running this place like it should be. Chef should be commended for the great selections and flavours. Service is so much better. Almost gave it away not long ago, but I will be back.   (local foodie - See my reviews (2) - October, 2008)

I am a local resident and had been to the boatshed about 4 months ago. I swore I would never go back there. I am so pleased I did though. The food is fantastic and the service has definitely improved out of sight. I will be back!   (local foodie - See my reviews (2) - October, 2008)

Have eaten here many times and am now considering it for my wedding reception in February. Kyle I think the reason for your disappointment with service etc is because the place is in the process of changing hands. It seems the old owners are not being particularly service conscious. I have rung 4 times just to try to get a wedding reception email! Am hopeful the new owners will be on the ball and helpful!   (Graysyn - October, 2008)
