Great vibrant place. We had a party of 7. Right in the heart of Ponsonby. Close to k road and queen street. Decent parking, but off street is better. Food was amazing. They come in small portions but order as much as you want to share for a decent price. They have a dj and wait staff are always about helping out. Set on a second story building next Zambezi. Mövenpick is down 50 meters down and close to parks and Grey Lynn. The heritage housing around is gorgeous and its still buzzing like when I was there at thr age of 7. Regarded as an area for the rich but it's a buzz in the area. Different ways to pay is pretty handy.

It was cool, I wouldn't go with a large group as it was quite packed in and too many tables for how busy it got. Live dj was great. Food was delicious but only like lots of snack things. Drinks weren't strong enough liquor wise but quite sweet and yum.

Delicious and budget friendly food, came out super quickly as well. Will definitely try their bottomless brunch, as I wasn’t able to try their drinks. Decor and Ambiance is great but is definitely more suited to older kids and adults as it is a bar but you can still bring your kids here I guess, for the good food.

The food and drinks were good. They lost our booking for 20 people so we ended up spread across several tables awkwardly. They weren't very apologetic. Food is great, service was average when we first arrived.
