50-50 restaurant

Helen and the team are absolutely wonderful at making dinner feel like a truly special experience. The staff are attentive and welcoming, and the quality is exceptional throughout. We enjoyed our dinner so much in June that we came back a couple of weeks later to experience the July menu, a real testament to how good it is. Fantastic food, service, and attention to detail.

Lovely setting, pleasant service and great food. If you want huge quantities, go elsewhere, however if you want quality, delicious and flavourful, this is definitely the place. The wine match is excellent, but you'll need a driver to pick you up when you're done.

There is little to add to the outstanding 5 stars outlined in the reviews below. Helen produces intelligent, unique and beautifully creative dishes. The flavour combinations are simply stunning. The cherry butter cake with the wasabi/white chocolate truffle was a delightful surprise.nThe wine pairing was carefully matched with each course, although a slightly larger pouring would feel more generous. :nnThe low point an easy fix is the view through the restaurants main window which blows the illusion of big city dining. The bright blue Kapiti Clippers shop and the ATM machines sophisticatedly illuminated with fluorescent tubes was bothersome and we sat at the counter end of the restaurant. As an Interior designer I'd recommend contacting a print company to laser cut frosted vinyl film with your restaurant name stylishly cut into it with a thin slit so customers and peer out if they wish.nnOtherwise a remarkable dinner all round.nWell done Helen and your team.

I loved all of the dishes. Perfectly sized portions, amazing flavour combinations, making me want more, but pleased I didn’t as I was well sated after the six courses. Steak so tender, no steak knife required.nA shot sized cup of the hot chocolate would’ve been plenty, but we enjoyed sharing the tulip cup sized portion.

I consider myself a bit of a foodie but I'm just a 29 year old who loves eating out. I won a voucher through a Te Omanga Hospice event.nnThe whole experience was a journey. We regrettably didn't do the beverage match but the food was stunning. It looks refined and simple but the flavours were rich and deep and I really enjoyed myself, I love learning all these new flavours mixed in with familiar ones.nnSmall stylish restaurant and the young servers were professional and charming. The chef and owner Helen you could see was running the show with control and flair. Wonderful.nnI live in Wellington but I can't wait to return and pay full price. Well worth it for a special experience
