Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The food is very good. The room is large and cozy but in need of an update. The reason I haven’t given Kika 5 stars is because when we arrived for our reservation at 5.30pm we were given a table at the back of the restaurant near the toilets. I could understand this if it was one of the last tables available but the restaurant was empty except for 2 other tables. I asked if we could change tables and after much discussion amongst the staff we were moved over to the next back table. We definitely felt rushed and had to ask the wait staff to slow down the pace of the food.

Placed as a couple right next to a family table of 6 (eating frankly like pigs!) with an annoying kid jumping up and down into my partners space… needs definitely to have screens between such arrangements of tables! That said we were very impressed with the chefs choice taster menu with fusions of flavours and knowledgeable presentation and descriptions by your staff Grace and Charlotte. We were also suitably impressed by the wine and beer we selected so over all a lovely meal well worth driving to Wānaka for.

We ordered two small plates as recommended plus added focaccia. The V plates were cold so arrived in a flash. The focaccia took ten minutes. We v had to heat off three people trying to take our dishes away. If the bread is an add then serve it with the plates rather than 10 minutes later. Everything else good but feel living off recent reviews rather than still striving

We had the feed me option and the food was delicious but we’d hardly sat down before despite having booked a table, the waitress mentioned we were on a time limit as there was another seating . Time was obviously an issue as the waitresses rattled through the descriptions of each dish. The sparkling water was home made soda water at $11 for each bottle served.

Has pretensions to grandeur but overall a bit of a disappointment. Very little texture or ‘wow’ in the small plates, a Flounder (I think) as a shared main (which was supposed to feed two people would barely have fed one) drastically over-seasoned and a high price overall competed to local (very strong) competition. But friendly service and a nice vibe.

Great food, but would have appreciated more time to savour it. The dishes arrived in very quick succession, to the point we felt a bit rushed and overwhelmed. Not a leisurely meal as we had anticipated...all done and dusted within 75 mins...with boxed leftovers. A bit disappointing for a special night out.

Booked online and could only get the ‘semi private’ area which is a raised area with two tables behind a 3/4 wall. Fortunately when we got there we had a table available in the main area . Much nicer in my opinion- lovely fire and nicer atmosphere. The food is delicious but the servings are small making for an expensive meal. Great service . Lovely mulled wine!

Loved the name of the tasting menu! We thought it was reasonably priced for the large quantity of food you get, and the wine pairings were spot on. We've been in NZ for a month and trying tasting menus in most towns we're visiting. This ranked definitely in the top 5 of dining experiences we've had! Every course was fantastically delicious. I won't go into descriptions or favorites, as what you'll get varies by night, and even by table! I do have to mention the mushroom and tofu dish. We are hard-core carnivores, and LOVED the flavors in this. Service was friendly and informative. The only negative was the sound level in the place. The music was cranked loud, so everyone was speaking all that much louder to be heard.

Nothing wrong with the dining experience - it was the typical higher-casual dining experience, with some innovation in the dishes. However, having just dined at Muttonbird the night before, this was not as good as that... and the Feed Me option is more expensive, at $95 vs $80! We decided to go a la carte. Market fish of the day was sole fish, which was cooked nicely and very tasty and fresh. We also had the venison carpaccio - tasty too, definitely can recommend to order. Overall, you get a good meal here. But they do charge a premium here too, so overall, you get what you pay.

Wow. Just wow. I never expected this level of service and quality of food in such a small town. We got the "Just Feed Me" option, which was a little challenging for the chef as I'm pescatarian and husband is a meat-eater, but he customized a meal that we could share. Each dish was more beautiful than the last, with unique flavors and presentation. Servers were lovely and made sure our experience was a stellar one. When in Wanaka, DON'T MISS THIS RESTAURANT!

We have been touring NZ for 5 weeks and this was the best meal we have had by far. We chose the “ just feed me “ option with wine pairings. Every course was outstanding. Cured Ora king salmon, Agedashi tofu, Viavio stracchino were the small plates and were absolutely delicious. The “Grande” was Lake Ohau short rib - probably the best beef we have ever eaten. The Dolci course was Chocolate mousse - again absolutely gorgeous. If this restaurant was in Europe or North America it would have Michelin stars. I hope the chef will continue to train other chefs in NZ as he has a fantastic skill and palate that needs to be shared . We will definitely return when next in NZ. Wow!

This restaurant was a recommendation for us by someone we met by chance whilst travelling in NZ. The reviews looked very appealing, and we managed to reserve the last table available for the evening. All staff were friendly and efficient. Alongside the standard a la carte menu there was the "let us feed you" menu, which is a selection of unknown dishes to share for 2 people. It's the first time we had encountered this, so we're really excited to try this concept as we are both foodies and aren't picky eaters, liking most things. In total, 5 dishes, a myriad of different flavours and textures. Standout dishes for us were the mushrooms served with fried tofu and mirin/miso broth and the smoked mixed tomatoes with chilli sorbet. Perhaps least favoured were the confit duckleg and the chocolate creme brulee. Lovely to try the "surprise menu". Drinks were definitely on the pricey side.

We had a delicious dinner here complemented by friendly and knowledgeable staff. We opted for the Feed Me set menu with wine pairings. The servers were very accommodating about food allergies and preferences and took time to explain how the accompanying wines matched with each dish. The salmon and grapefruit starter and the chocolate dessert were particularly memorable!

The food was exceptional. We had 6 starters, 1 main, and 2 sides between the four of us, and every single dish was delicious. They also had an impressive selection of vegetarian options, which our vegetarian party member greatly appreciated. Excellent service. Excellent everything. Make a booking as early as you can... like right now... because this place is not to be missed!

Absolutely one our favorite restaurants in NZ. The relaxed atmosphere & attentive staff was only topped by the amazing food.The 4 of us selected the Just Feed me menu. Each dish was creative, using fresh local ingredients. We savored each plate to the point when the final plate of lamb shoulder was presented, we were all so full we could only each enjoy a taste and took the rest home for a lunch treat the next day. Our entire experience was 5 star at a reasonable price.
