Have been here before and enjoyed the experience so thought we’d give it another go. Smashed Avocado Bagel (with Salmon as an add-on) was generous and the salmon portion very generous. Bagel was very tough to cut with a knife though but maybe being gluten free had something to do with that? Very tasty though. We also had the Poke Bowl which was underwhelming. Not the traditional bowl at all, as it was on a plate. No sign of coriander in the rice, no kewpie mayo, no crispy shallots and no sweet chilli (all were advertised on the menu). Pretty disappointing for $32.90 and our two meals and bottled juice made it an $80 lunch.

I like this place, we have eaten here twice as a family. The only let down is they don’t offer any gluten/dairy free side with the steak. Chips are in a shared frier, so not GF. And the mash has dairy in it. Otherwise would give it a higher score :) Service is always very good with nice friendly staff.

I ordered an eggs Benedict (without bacon or mushrooms) gluten free. They came out with two pieces of (hope it was gluten free) bread because it wasn't toasted properly and had no butter on it. Two eggs just put on top with the dressing. No wilted spinach. It looked like a child had made it. With the other meal and drinks I paid just over $50. I ate it because I paid for it but won't be going back.

We returned after a great experience about a year ago while visiting the Mount. This time however the food was just okay. Although the bean dip was stone cold. Evidently it's meant to be.... Yet when you get bean dip as a side on a meal it is warm?! The service was poor, at least five servers, on a quiet night and we were left waiting an incredibly long time before the desert order was taken. When asked if any desserts were available as gluten free nothing was possible .... Not even ice cream which came with other desserts?!? Was just okay, but nothing to make us want to return.

To be as absolutely fair as I can be let me add some context. 1) I am a tourist so I'm unaware with what the average pricing/quality is of restaurant food Service: 5/5 The wait staff were very friendly, accommodating and answered all our questions Drinks: 5/5 The cocktails were tasty, not too strong and had lovely flavours and presentation. They were $20NZ each. Atmosphere: 5/5 It's a cute spot, we ate indoors as it was a little cooler out however they also have a nice outdoor area. Good music, fresh aromas from the kitchen and good seating. Food: 2/5 I'm going to use Cook/Flavour/Plating/Size/Price as my rating scale here. 1- The cook of the food was perfect. There was nothing over/under done. The meat was tender and juicy, the veggies crisp and fresh. 2- The Plating was elegant and well done. The dishes were presented thoughtfully and had pops of color. 3- Price - So this is where I'm unfamiliar with what normal pricing is, however we paid around $120Nz for 2 people to have 2 drinks, a large platter and a snack each. We omitted having the short ribs as they were $75 and based on the portion size and flavours I'm glad we did. Prices seem steep for what you get but it could be normal. 4- Size - The dishes are small. They recommend 1 Large + snack or 3 Small per person and that's probably right however given the price that's a steep bill. We tried sharing 1 Large + 2 snacks between the both of us and left Hungry and kind of let down. 5- Flavour - As I'm finding with everything in Tauranga, it's bland. Even our potato chips from the grocery store were under seasoned. If you want crisp, natural veggies then you're fine but the only hint of any flavours or seasonings was salt and some chopped chillies. It's definitely not the robust and complex flavours you'd get from other Asian cuisine and while it boasts to be a fusion restaurant, it's an attempt at best. While flavour is entirely a personal preference, as there are raving reviews about this restaurant, myself personally found the cook and presentation of the food to be lovely but the flavours left me wanting. All in all I gave it a 3/5 as the drinks, service and atmosphere are great but the Price/Size/Flavour of the dishes felt lacking. * It is worth noting they have a lot of Gluten free options so if you're struggling to find somewhere to eat, I'd still recommend it as its by no means awful. It's a nice, slightly pricey, average restaurant experience*

I just got the worst GF pizza from the Koutu branch. The normal pizza is good, but the gluten free pizza is absolutely uneatable. GF is not a choice for everyone! šŸ˜ž If you can't prepare GF food don't say you can and then add extra charges and expect people to be happy with tast- less food 😔

Really enjoyed our dinner here tonight. The waiter was great in helping my wife with some changes to her meal as she is on a gluten free diet and has some other food intolerances. My steak was cooked to perfection and the sauce was delicious.

Very well looked after when over 20 of us turned up; no fuss, no problem, just easy and accommodating. Thank you. A selection of dishes had by our group, with a number sharing pizzas that were of a good size. The gluten free one was a quality base but was unfortunately underdone. Great service, efficient and friendly
