We came for a team dinner. There were 7 of us. We highly rated the organic chicken and short rib. They were just delicious.
One of our team members is a celiac and had a reaction from the chicken dish. Although she had specified that she was a celiac at the time of ordering, and asked the server delivering her meal to make sure, she was still "glutened". Unsure what went wrong there, but Giraffe may need to assess their processes when handling gluten.
We were lucky to sneak in a late dinner here tonight and it was such a lovely way to end my trip to New Zealand. Our server, Harriet, was very knowledgeable about gluten free options on the menu and took great care of us despite our late arrival. We tried the salt and pepper squid, green goddess salad, steamed fish, the filet, and Eton mess. Everything was excellent and I would return happily!
Amazing food with excellent service! A group of us ; 10 ppl having our lunch date here with children. It’s a children friendly restaurant with children menu available.
What really blew my mind is how friendly and professional of their staff. We have two guests have special food inquiries; one is vegetarian but need to be onions, spring onions, garlic, and leek free. The other guest need to be gluten free, dairy free, no onions, no spring onion, no garlic and no leek.
I did rang the restaurant prior when I’m making a booking and tell them our guests need. When we arrived the restaurant, I think might be the manager; bring two copy of the menu and already all highlighted with what dishes can be made to customize their foods needs.
It’s the very first restaurant to do that for us and we are truly appreciate.
Excellent cuisine with superior service! We joined for dinner and breakfast and enjoyed both meals immensely. Sit outside if you are able; the view is spectacular at all times of day and there are heat lamps to keep warm at night.
The restaurant was able to handily accommodate celiac / gluten free, as well as a severe peanut & tree nut allergy. I was extremely impressed at the care and knowledge they showed with the allergies.
So looking forward to coming back and highly recommend to all those who are staying at the beautiful Park Hyatt or in the area and looking for a delicious meal and experience!
