A delight to dine here. The service / staff were the best and made us feel right at home! We had a lovely meal and it was a great time here even though it was wet outside! I had the seafood chowder and the coffee - 👌
Thank you 🙏

What Our Clients Say
Lancia
Excellent service! Lasagne was huge and excellent flavour! Chicken tacos 11/10 might be small meal for a man but excellent women’s size! Had a really relaxing night with a great view! Great 80’s background music. Be amazing in summer!

Russell Hickson
We popped in for a beer and a bite to eat from their "bar snacks" menu. We ordered their bacon butty and honestly, it was next-level indulgence, in the best way! The yummiest bacon I have had in a LONG time stuffed between two amazing garlic bread slices! The staff were friendly and service was quick. A lovely place to go if you're in Taupō.
