What Our Diners Say
Authentic dining reviews directly from our Google business profile in Totara Park, Upper Hutt.
"Caroline (manager) gave exceptional service tonight. This by far was the best service for 2026 I have received. She was so bubbly and welcoming although I was almost in PJs haha the food was great, steak tasted sous vide style... so the Chef did a splendid job honestly. No complaints at all. Highly recommend this family style bistro. Support your locals."
