Above price is in NZ$ which are about $.50 US. I have paid three times the price in North America for lesser quality food than we had here. The restaurant was the top choice of our guide book (Frommers) and of the owners of our motel (see separate review) and lived up to all expectations. It is located on a small sidestreet just off Fenton Drive (the main drag) It is located in an old Edwardian Villa refurbished into a very nice restaurant. It is quite large and organized so that you have a fair amount of privacy at each table. It holds various awards in Rotorua and New Zealand. I had one of the award winners (Lamb rack Canterbury) while my wife had a dory (fish of the day) Both were excellent. Service is fairly formal and was excellent as was the food. Highly recommended for an evening of excellent food and wine in a quiet fairly formal atmosphere
