if i lived in christchurch, this would be my regular haunt. it's quiet enough for conversation, it has a cosy feel, and if you're there during the day it's lovely to watch the ducks in the duckpond literally right outside.
the stone grill options here are wonderful, i've tried ostrich and kangaroo and settled on venison as my favourite. the sides are great, though i'm not really drawn to any of the sauces (wish they had a red wine jus or a blue cheese). but it's not like the venison needs a sauce!
i've also tried the lamb shanks, which are wonderfully tender. the demi glaze overpowers the lamb a little until you get down closer to the bone, but it'syummyso who cares.
guest was not overly impressed by the hoki burger special.
wheelchair-access-wise, most of the tables are the inconvenient kind with the legs that spread out to either side and can prevent you getting close enough to your plate, but i seem to recall seeing some standard tables here and there, and there's also the option of getting two tables pushed together and sliding into the centre spot in between the legs of each. entry thresholds are a bit of a problem, but do-able with skill, strength, or (in my case), assistance.
