This exceeded my expectations. Service was friendly and attentive. Food was sublime. Drinks were also exceptional. My only complaint is that we were sat by the window and it was so cold! Thanks again for an unexpectedly amazing experience. I'll definitely recommend to others and be back again soon.

Great little bar in Wellington, nice environment. Great variety on local beers, and the food is top class, delicious. Lots of great options to share on a date or with friends. Totally recommend the Bison Carpaccio. 10/10 would definitely visit again.
