Fantastic (international and national) wine, beer and spirit selection and an intimate little side room perfect for private gatherings. Exceptional and professional service and delicious food prepared with love. They also have my favourite German Beer as a little bonus 😋💜

Terrific spot with great atmosphere and excellent service. Delicious food came from a tiny kitchen, hats off to the chef. I really enjoyed the classic “Marry me chicken.” Flavourful and oh so tender. Nice selection of local wines, discovered our first ever bottle of Ata Rangi, a lovely bottle of Chenin Blanc. Our host and owner Michael also has a wide selection of scotches and mixes up some wonderful cocktails.

A great find in Martinborough on a quiet Monday night. The food and drink menu options won’t disappoint. To top it off the service was 10/10! I can highly recommend the Petit Cheese Plate. It certainly hit the spot.

YES, 100%, YOU SHOULD GO HERE! The service, the options and holy hell - THE DRINKS LIST. Perfect ambience, beautifully appointed and the food is on point - the greatest mix of bistro dining with a relaxed approach.

Lots of vegan options (all pictured). The carrot cake was to die for! The dinner was basic but tasty. Mulled cider was delicious. We came back for more!
