The Bunker Restaurant & Bar

Went up here for a famous money shot cocktail on a rainy night, and only found rude waiters who told one of our group to 'get out of their way' when they asked if they had them. No service outside even though it was sheltered by the fire. Everyone too busy to provide any service at all so we left.

I had been here many years before it was a 5.0 meal. The venison was just incredible. This time, because of the size of our group, we had to order from the banquet menu which limited our options slightly. Overall, the food was exquisite; an amazing venison entrée followed by a lamb main that was a little bit tasteless and a chocolate cake type dessert that was rich and delicious (I was told the creme brulee was also magnificent). However the service, while being adequate for the venue, left a bitter taste in the mouth. The single waitress served $10 a bottle water to the table, and when asked to just serve tap water as we didn't want any special mineral water, she became snappy and rude for the remainder of the evening. We knew it was an expensive dinner, but we didn't expect to or want to pay for the water.

Simply awesome - some of the best food in New Zealand. This intimate restaurant has the best huge log fire and is welcoming and cosy. Unpretentious service and creative dishes using quality local product - I have tried Paua, Hare and Venison here amongst other things, all of which were firsts for me and did not disappoint. This restaurant is consistently good, having first visited 14 years ago and returning again in the last couple of years. The upstairs bar is great for an early evening / after dinner cocktail or two!

Went to dinner with my partner for anniversary the service was just phenomenal, absolutely outstanding service from Emma and Jerome, i believe it was. Even we book the table too late but they sorted out for us. Sorry for that Definitely one of the best places to go in town! We love to go back there have that service again too!!! Thank you for everything!!

Very affordable nice dinner for two. Defiantly a recommended restaurant. Staff are friendly.
