We were a party of four adults celebrating a birthday lunch. Service was friendly and very professional. We all agreed that the food was very good. For my part, I had the fish pie which was chock full of local green lipped mussels, salmon chunks and shrimp, all served in a tasty white sauce with a cheese toasted, mashed potato... More

Now this is a restaurant which tries, from the moment you arrive ("sorry, we're really full, but we'll fit you in"), courtesy, clenliness, and professional service. That the food ws not absolutely top notch was due to how busy they were and had been.

Lovely wines - we had to limit what we bought as we were travelling from Australia and needed to get it home. We had lunch here which was excellent. Friendly staff and gorgeous views of the area.

We have been to Wither Hills several times and always enjoyed the excellent food. However, the waiting staff really let things down. We were seated and then left for 10 mins. No drinks order taken. I had to chase the waitress down to ask her to take our order. She continued to be generally unattentive for the rest of our... More

We went here for lunch and were really very pleasantly surprised by the standard of service and the quality of the food, and of course as it is a winery as well the Pinot was excellent. I had the Rib eye and it was cooked to my exact needs and just melted in the mouth, the Pork belly that our... More

We enjoyed a lovely meal here. We hadn't booked but were accommodated at a table in the tasting area. It did fill up quite quickly so I would recommend booking. The service and food were excellent. I had a spicy pumpkin soup with coconut cream, coriander oil and crayfish dumplings and my husband had the pasta dish. Both were very... More

Has lunch here on a recent trip to NZ. Food and wine nice but service quite slow. Took them quite a while to get us an outside table for 5. Restaurant was not that busy. Location good, wine great and food reasonable. I would return.

Very nice setting, bistro style and good position overlooking vineyards. Mains, were generous portions and nice. Puddings, well - they looked bought in and weren’t great. Service was friendly but very (very) slow – most likely down to understaffing in the kitchen as the wait staff were certainly not busy. Nice if you are passing, but food wasn’t as good... More
