Friendly staff members, good and flavourful food. Reasonably priced with big potions. Their 'small beginning' portions are as big as a meal; and their shared portions are enough for at least 2 people.
Seafood chowder was full of large chunks of fresh seafood and even a huge scallop - great value. Unfortunately it was pretty much unseasoned, but you can get electric salt and pepper dispensers from the staff.
Complimentary chocolate fish :)
Somewhat expensive, but very crispy chips are a bonus, as is the range available - it's surprising how hard it is to get seafood in the middle of NZ's biggest coastal city!
Nice range of dishes, but it's hard to go past the fish and chips - as good as you'd get at any gastropub, though a little smaller than a number of the pubs for the same size.
As usual for a Elliot Stables place, be ready to knifefight for a table, and bring your own wet wipes to wipe it down - chances are that the tables are sticky again. *sigh*
