::Restaurant has a really nice ambience and the food was great! I ordered the BBQ chicken linguine which was delicious! It was Advertised as a light meal but I struggled to finish it as the serving was rather large. I'm pretty sure it was the same size (if not bigger) than my husbands "main" meal! My husband ordered the confit duck which was cooked to absolute perfection! You could tell this cut of meat had been well respected and love put in to it. It just melted in your mouth. We ordered a couple of drinks off menu, which I expected to be exorbitant because they're off the menu) but was thoroughly surprised at how reasonable they were. I ordered a couple of organic ciders (the only type of cider they stock). The cider was at least 500ml(if not more) from memory and was $9. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here, but a few small criticisms. Our server was very nice and friendly, but maybe too attentive? I could barely sip my water before it was what seemed instantly refilled. Service is important, but it was awkward having some walk in mid convo. We were seated between two other tables with larger groups which made it difficult to hear. The restaurant wasn't busy and had about six tables seated, but all on one side rather than being spread out. All in all was a good time with lovely food, my criticisms are only small and constructive. Would 10/10 eat here again.

::We are visiting the town from Melbourne so this restaurant was plucked out because it looked busy. My wife had Salt & Pepper Prawns as mains while I had the Duck. The prawns were plentiful, well cooked and well presented. The duck was amazing. Crispy on the outside while still plenty of moisture inside. Combining it with black pudding & cranberry pieces plus pear slices was genius. Probably the best meal we've had in NZ.

::Good food & excellent service. Unique, interesting and very artistic decor! I don't often give 4 stars!! My friend and I are both in upper half of 80s plus we both have the Parkinson's problem. Service is friendly and helpful. Oh yes!! Great wine list too! Love the ' Ratatouille'! We will certainly be back! Thank you 'Barista'!

::Barista is great cafe and restaurant. Price wise, its on par if not cheaper than restaurants of similar quality. Staff are attentive and friendly. The place also has uniqueness and soul offering something different from the same old same old. Best time is Saturday nights when the owners sing lounge music and paint the mural.

::Generally very good coffee and also have nice 'bikkies' to have with your coffee. Dinners are very good with good variety of foods and are correctly cooked. Staff are get friendly and management are all friendly. Great progressing artwork is on the large wall and I love it - amazing detail of many differing book characters. When live entertainment is provided this is very good. Have not tried one of their English afternoon tea functions but these are often packed with people and are enjoyable. Great place for a glass of wine or a beer.
