We’re proud to support local by working with our incredible team of artisans and food producers, hailing from all corners of Aotearoa.
Dine in casual luxury in our timeless and elegant space, with finishings and flourishes by Auckland design stalwarts Simon James Design and Nat Cheshire for Resident.
