Tomorrow’s Fish Are Still In The Sea

Our mission is to showcase New Zealand sustainably sourced fresh, wild and natural seafood, prepare it well and serve it simply. We work closely with fishermen around New Zealand like Lee Fish and Te Matuka oyster farms, to source only the best seafood, which has been caught ethically. All of our fish is purchased whole and processed in our kitchen for service.
Our extensive wine selection changes regularly to harmonise with our food menu, providing an array of tastes from around the world and with a special focus on New Zealand wines. The list celebrates the independent winemaker, who is making wine as natural and minimalistic as possible, as well as the more traditional winemakers and iconic producers.
