Booked today for lunch thinking would beat the usual Mother’s Day rush - so did everyone else as restaurant was packed but staff were amazing rushing around taking orders - checking on drinks etc and the food was up to usual standard. My friend is gluten intolerant and waitress spent tine talking through the menu with her. Excellent lunch - thank you Old Vicarage

Really high quality food. I had the entree ribs and gluten free chicken burger. The burger was much better than Burger Fuel and worth spending the extra on. Chicken was juicy and perfectly cooked. Friendly staff. We were travelling in a group from Auckland for a long weekend and stopped for a good meal before and after our planned adventure in the hills.

Our waiter was outstanding, we missed his name, a gentleman with a bead, he was attentive but not intrusive. The 2 person tables were well spaced so you could quietly chat, the kings choice meals was brilliant, I usually have trouble finding food as vegan and gluten free, but this was expertly catered for.

We came in on Good Friday and had the set menu with the 5 cocktails. It was amazing! The server we had (didn't catch his name but had very short hair and an accent) was just awesome. So friendly and helpful. Last time I came to Original Sin, I had terrible heartburn and straight away he mixed up a concoction for me behind the bar that cured it. What doesn't this guy do well?! Your team were also fabulous at being flexible with one of us having coeliac disease. No issues - they made a custom gluten free pizza and also gave a separate platter for the entree - all gluten free. Thanks again team, we will definitely be back. Michelle - POSbiz

Really average service and meals. This place has definitely gone down hill. Ordered a salad with no croutons (gluten) arrived with croutons had to wait for a replacement by which time the entire table had finished their meals and I ate alone. Absolutely no apology at all. Coke was flat. Chips which have always been a favourite at joes garage were not pleasant at all. Will not be returning.

Overall great experience- great gluten free chicken and my partner enjoyed the pasta. Great service- the only thing I would fault is the pay wave system, even though I swiped the card I still got charged as pay wave and it wouldn't let me insert it, I guess it's just the paywave system but was disappointed. But the staff we were really lovely about it and Overall.

Ordered a burger with the gluten free bun. The bun was so hard, it made a wood knocking sound when tapped, I couldn’t even bend it. I gave up trying to chew through it. I told the waitress , but was still charged an extra $2 for the inedible bun. The burger itself was flavourless. Very disappointing food unfortunately. Quick service though and the staff were very nice!

A quiet classy hotel restaurant. Majority of menu items are gluten free or can be made so. Spoke with the chef who says he doesn't resort to adding flour to thicken soups, etc. No need when preparing properly. Great little place for a relaxing meal or drink.
