Amazing service and food, would highly recommend.

We had the loveliest night. The team was very professional and attentive to us as a small group. I would recommend this as an experience to anyone wanting something personal, memorable and the experience made the birthday a special memory. It was also nice to have the kitchen separated from the dining area and drinks area. This left the team to get on with the job at hand. Thank you "takeachef"

Jess's talent shone through, wowing our guests and elevating our apartment into a realm of fine dining. We wholeheartedly recommend Jess and eagerly anticipate the next opportunity to indulge in her exceptional cooking skills when we return to Auckland.
