It was a great experience, delicious food. A table for two with a glass of bubbles and a divine starter. We enjoyed the tram ride stopping along the way, taking in all the nightlife and happenings in town. Ending with dessert and a coffee. Full dining experience, 4 courses, smaller servings with stunning flavours. Something you have to experience in Christchurch.

The dinner was lovely. 4 courses with a choice of the menu for last 3 courses. Staff were great, very friendly. However, on your site, you advise a commentary. We had limited time so thought we would incorporate dinner, tram and commentary. We were very disappointed that no commentary was available. Once explained why, I could understand. But please update your description so that it is correct advertising!! We will book directly with the local information centre in future.
