"Don't judge a book by its cover", is quite an appropriate way to describe Quartz. It doesn't look like much on the outside but as soon as you enter, the atmosphere is immediate. Cool, suave with perfect lighting, if that was the best this place had to offer, it would be better than a lot of other places I've been to. But thankfully it wasn't. The service was friendly and real, the menu at a glance, wasn't pretentious, just solid. But when the food arrived ... WOW. Taste, portion size and the pricing were amazing. We had the chicken poppers, seafood chowder and garlic flat bread to start. All were delicious. We followed that with the Pork Belly, Steak, chips and eggs (2 by the way), and the Crumbed Beef Schnitzel. All fantastic and perfectly cooked. The size of the Pork Belly was 2 or 3 times the size of a normal restaurant serving but probably $10 cheaper. (Highly recommend this dish). The drinks were also a lot cheaper than most other restaurants with a glass of wine going for $11 which is a decent saving from the standard $15 to $18 at other places. In the current economic climate, value for money is huge and this place provides that in spades. Every patron leaving the restaurant had takeaway containers which should tell you all you need to know about their portion sizes. All in all, Quartz gets an A+++ in all departments. My first visit certainly won't be my last. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in or visiting Rolleston.

The food was attractively presented and tasted great. Very reasonable price too. Excellent service and friendly staff helped top it all off.
