Mari

Had a table of 5. Accommodated to our every needs and wants and they did it with great service. Food was great, mostly did shared platters. Enjoyed our drinks and took photos because the atmosphere was great for a girls night out.

We went here for a date night while traveling around Christchurch. Loved the place. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. The staff were friendly and the food was tasty. Overall, a really lovely spot!
