It has the cutest outdoor area. I suggest dining out there in the bar area and not in the restaurant out the front. Their Asian Cuisine is divine - great for sharing. Weekends they usually have a DJ.

Quality but relaxed fair. Their gourmet burgers and chips are the best in Wellington (in my humble opinion)! Plenty of interesting beer choices for those hops lovers. Freshly made lemonade is pretty fine too. Perfect for lunch and dinner.

Best bar staff in town and their customised cocktails are spot on. Its kind of like a 1930's gentlemen's club meets Speakeasy joint. I recommend sitting at the bar and interacting with bar tenders while they're mixing your drinks.
