We went here with some friends to relax and unwind after the Rotorua Marathon. Although the food tasted good and a good size portion was served, I did feel the food was a bit overpriced for the place, the decor, the service, and the food.

Their definition of a cooked meat is very different to what others may think, we asked for medium cooked lamb and a medium/rare steak and both arrived... More

A bit disappointed with the serving size - I guess it is classed as fine dining. Not somewhere I would go back to but have friends who love it.

On eat street so it is easy to find. Our steaks were delicious, and the service was excellent and friendly. Though it is not the cheapest spot on the strip, I think it is good value.

Had an amazing night out with a friend. Our waiter was so friendly and helpful. My steak was cooked perfectly. When I do return to Rotorua I will definitely come back to this restaurant.

i had my first taste of NZ Green Lipped Mussells in white wine and cream sauce. They were delicious. I chose The Station Owner - lamb rump placed on couscous. My partner had the Granny Tarrr Fillet - a pork fillet with side vegetables beautifully presented and steamed just right.

average just looks more upper class than it tastes. It had the price tag and looks of a more fine dining place but Fish was terrible and my Fathers Steak was quite poor compared to our homekill.
