The Food was absolutely delicious. The meat was nice and tender, juicy and cooked to perfection. I love that there is always a salad in the side for the mains and that they recommend wine pairings of each dish. I find it very thoughtful. The place is very cozy which is perfect for date night. We had the perfect spot in front of the bar where you can see the chef at work .

A cozy spot with great vibes. The food is amazing, stumbled upon this spot back in 2020 and was amazed by the food. Came back again recently and it was what I remembered. Perfectly cooked meat, amazing sauces. I would say it is a carnivores dream to just have all that amazing meat! The service is great and the staff were friendly, just as I remembered. I would definitely recommend getting the platter with multiple meats to share!

Wow. First time here. What a treat to end the week. Went for first table on an Auckland Friday. Outstanding food, drinks, and service from Tomas and the team. Great atmosphere as you’d expect in Ponsonby. Beautifully fresh salads and buns and incredible coal bbq’d meat. Perfectly cooked steak. Sumptuous, all round! Cheers
