7 - Upper Hutt

I think we've found our favourite meat restaurant! Despite the used furniture, the atmosphere is familial and suit perfectly with Sundays vibes . The prices are fair. When we enter the place, the barman stops his duty to welcome us which is unusual and pleasant

Been there multiple times before, enjoyed it every time. But last night on the other hand, absolutely not. Was told where our table was, not taken to it. Took a while to be served. Kids drinks took longer than the adults. Food was not as good as it used to be. Asked for two medium rare steaks, they were both cooked well over well done. One steak was eaten as the person was hungry. The other was not touched. No one came to ask how everything was, ask if we would like another drink. Oh and the table wasn 't cleared and weren 't asked for dessert. Went to pay and told the manager on duty how it went and how we felt, just got a smile back and that 's fine . Sorry but you 've lost a few of regular customers now. Honestly wouldn 't expect a response like that especially from a duty manager. Yeah not so much of a happy bunch after that experience, and after paying the bill for just sitting around waiting for service :

Took my wife out for lunch and man what a highly recommended place to go too. Honestly her ribs meal devine, my Geiness pie meal mouth watering, seafood chowder for starters and mushrooms Aracini all delicious and to finish of with a Chocolate Sundae. Happy satisfied Wife makes me know I made the best choice ever. Keep up the great work guys your awesome

Had my cousins over from Masterton and my brother from Whitby. None had been to this restaurant before. The young waitress was very pleasant and efficient. The wait time was acceptable and the food had all three impressed. Pricing was surprisingly reasonable. We will make this bar a regular go to. Cheers all.

Came for a really late lunch. Staff are extremely accommodating. We had the sirloin steak, pork ribs and lava cake. All of these food items were cooked to perfection. You get what you paid for.
