Its coming up to Summer here in NZ so we are getting super busy, it certainly has been a hectic few weeks since I made it back to the Restaurant, 1 guy walked out while I was away, so now we are 2 staff members down, its all normal in this trade I guess.(anyone looking for a job??) also a big thank you to Juan and Michiko who looked after the Pastry while I was away, Im so lucky to have two people so dedicated working alongside me, your both awesome.At the same time the numbers in both our restaurants and functions are going through the roof so its all go.
We are however changing the restaurant menu next week , All the berries are coming through, some new suppliers have appeared on the scene with some great new ingredients, I love summer menus. New dishes with little bits of inspiration from my recent trip to Spain and the introduction of a new concept for the menu, the dessert tasting menu will be updated also, so keep an eye out for the photos of the new menu which will come up over the next.

Hi Brian. Just stumbled across your blog. Great looking food and I am very jealous of your trip to Spain.Is the dessert tasting menu available every day? Would love to come try it some time but work Wed-Sat in a restaurant in Hamilton.
